Easy To Cheer For


Thanks to the alert eyes of a regular reader I was going to toss a screenshot up this morning of the Towson University football schedule page. Alerted to it yesterday, I visited the page and it showed Towson's game vs. Dartmouth as being played in Manchester, N.H.

Now, I know schools occasionally play home games away from home. (See below for two Penn State home games being played away from State College.) But I never even made a call to see if the Dartmouth-Towson game was actually being played at Manchester's 3,700-seat Gill Stadium or the 7,500-seat Double-A Fisher Cats stadium for one simple reason. It would be a ridiculous idea.

And of course it isn't being played there. By this morning the Towson schedule had been corrected.
That Certain Nittany Lion Senior was on one of more than a dozen buses making the four-plus hour drive from Happy Valley to New York City early this morning for an afternoon/evening Penn State-Michigan doubleheader at Madison Square Garden. At noon the Nittany Lions and Wolverines tip off on the hardwood, and at 7 they face off on the ice. Pretty cool stuff ;-)
