At last the streak of losing to Michigan is over. The last time Penn State had beaten Michigan was in 1996, my sophomore year. That is way too long — now let us never speak of it again. From now on, Michigan is just another game on the schedule and not a black cloud flying over our heads.
After A.Q. Shipley snapped the ball over Daryll Clark‘s head on the first play of the game, I got madder than I had been about sports in a many years. It wasn’t until the Penn State safety in the second half that I began to calm down. All’s well that ends well I suppose.
In the end Penn State beat a 2-4 team at home, let’s not get too carried away. I did not even reach for the top shelf for the victory bourbon, Jim Beam is good enough. I’ll have some premium stuff if Penn State wins next week.
