Outback Bowl Champs!!
Penn State - 20
Tennessee - 10
Did you hear the great news? My beloved Nittany Lions ignored the critics who said they had no chance against a fast SEC team like the Volunteers and defeated them 20 to 10.
I could have done without the 500 reviews from the booth, but otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed the 30 minutes of the game that I watched with Mommy and Daddy (sorry, Penn State, but I'm still trying to catch up on all the sleep I missed during the holidays!!)
My new friend, the Elmo giggle chair, gave me a comfortable place to watch JoePa coach our team to a great win. Even though JoePa was up in the booth because of his leg boo-boo, he led Penn State to a convincing defeat.
Charlotte's Shout Outs - Special Outback Bowl Edition
1. Tony Hunt - You are the MVP! I bet your mommy and daddy are proud! You moved to #2 on the all time PSU rushing list. You had 158 yards on 31 carries. Is there any doubt you'd get a shout out?!
2. Anthony Morelli - Where have you been all season? You played with confidence and poise. You were 14 of 25 for 197 yds, 1 TD and NO interceptions!! I bet the fans are sorry they called you stupid now! You made a lot of us very excited for next year (of course, Mommy is always excited for next year, even when there is no hope of the team being good.)
3. Paul Posluszny - You didn't have the best game of your career, but you're Poz, so you get an automatic Shout Out. We're going to miss you. Good luck in the NFL!
4. Tony Davis (or as Big Jim called you, "Tony King") - You get a shout out for having the play of the game. You returned a fumble 88 yards for the winning touchdown. I bet you'll get to pick whichever seat you want on the plane ride back to State College.
5. JoePa - You had to coach from far away, you just turned 80 years old and your leg hurts, but you will always be the Lion King and you will always be deserving of a shout out.
6. The last shout out of the year goes to the Blue Band Drum Major. Every game, you run out onto the field and perform two flips into a split in front of 108,000 screaming fans. We're screaming because we know there are very few people brave enough to do a flip wearing that silly tall hat. As if that feat weren't enough, you then have to lead the Blue Band into playing such Penn State favorites as "Rock n Roll Part II", "Fight on State", and "Hey, Baby". If you can explain to me why the Blue Band plays "Hey, Baby," there's another Shout Out in it for you.
Well, Penn State, you are 9-4. That's commendable! You gave Mommy and my JoePa a few ulcers along the way, but ultimately you made us all proud to be Nittany Lion fans. See you in September!!
