How 'bout them Nittany Lions?

Hello again to all my loyal readers out there. I know I went on hiatus once again but rest assured I am back (at least for the few minutes it takes me to write this). Well here we are almost halfway through the season and the Nittany Lions sit 5-0 and ranked #6 in the AP poll. The offense has been firing on all cylinders since the start of the season and the defense...well its been through its ups and downs but has played well enough to this point. "Penn State hasn't been tested" and "Penn State hasn't really played anyone yet" were two fairly common themes thus far in the season but I believe them to be diminishing now. We handily beat a competitive Oregon State team that oh yea beat the top ranked USC trojans last week. We then beat #22 Illinois who despite not having much in the way of a defense still has a pretty dynamic offense with Juice Williams, Daniel Dufree and Aurelius Benn. Since college football is so unpredictable you won't hear any knee jerk reactions on this blog about if this can happen or that can happen we can end up in Miami...thats all rubbish. For now we as fans need to listen to JoePa and follow the same path as the team - take it one game at a time. And for now it is Boiler Maker week - GO PSU!!!

I just wanted to stop here for a minute and give some video proof as to why Beaver Stadium is in fact the greatest show in college football. And to why attending a game there is unlike what many have ever and will ever experience before. See below for the proof and you tell me if you have ever been to a sporting event where 110k+ all wearing the same color sing along to timeless classics during stoppages in play...I challenge you.
