My grandfather is going through a project where he’s taking all of his 8mm film and converting it to DVDs. He has videos from the early 1930s through the 70s! This was of particular interest to myself: footage from a game in roughly 1960. At halftime of this particular game (against West Virginia I think) bands from throughout the Central PA area came to play on the field with the Blue Band. The student section even puts on a show with their version of the S-Zone, using cards. Open endzone, track around the field, Rip Engle as the head coach, Mt. Nittany looming in the background, and much more! Thanks for saving this Poppy!

Well today is the day. I am leaving Tyrone for a few days to head down to Orlando to see Penn State take on LSU in the Capital One Bowl. We got in line for tickets earlier this month at 5am in frigid temperatures, we planned hotels and driving arrangements, now it is time for the fun. We will depart Tyrone somewhere between 10 and 11 and arrive at my Uncle’s House in North Carolina around 8pm. Follow me on Twitter as I tweet the experience as it happens.
I watched a lot of sporting events in the last decade. I was 12 when the clock turned from 1999 to 2000 and found humor in thinking I was the first person in the new millennium to say that the Steelers would win the Super Bowl. With that said, here is my list of my top sporting events since then. These are in chronological order, and they are admittedly heavy on the later part of the decade as I aged and usually include my favorite team winning.
2003 BCS Fiesta Bowl (2002 BCS National Championship Game) – Ohio State Buckeyes (31) vs. Miami Hurricanes (24) (2OT)
I know a lot of less knowledgeable fans will be voicing their displeasure now that it has been officially announced that Penn State will not be playing in a BCS Bowl game this season. They will be matched up with the Louisiana State University in the Capital One Bowl, January 1st, 2010 in Florida. However, I contend that this is a good thing for the Nittany Lions.
1. The matchup will have higher ratings than the Orange Bowl.
