Go Phils! Oops ...
If you could, allow me a moment to rejoice in the championship of the one team I allow myself to care for -- GO PHILS!! OK, now back to our regularly scheduled Penn State football update. By the way, it's going to be interesting to see how the Lions' success -- should they get past Michigan and Ohio State -- will be adopted by this fair city after the Phils win the World Series.
If Penn State does run the table, it won't be because the team isn't loose. Offensive linemen A.Q. Shipley and Rich Ohrnberger have made sure of that. They pulled off a prank last week on several unsuspecting reporters and it had the desired affect propelling the Lions past Wisconsin last Saturday. It helps that the two linemen and their mates have some credibility. The offensive line has been a juggernaut this season, opening holes for a dominating run game and protecting its quarterbacks.
I'm looking forward to watching Game 3 of the World series AND Penn State at Ohio State at the same time. That is the kind of over stimulation I can deal with.— Josh M- I am psyched for all of the remaining Penn State games and yes I will be watching the Phillies as well. As for Philly adopting Penn State after the Phillies win the series, I doubt it. There are too many Penn State haters in this area. Also, there are many in the media, including your own paper, that are more interested in finding things wrong with Penn State than praising its accomplishments.— dahartman
