They sat on a lead with 67 points against Nebraska. Chambers felt bad about it and it was decided to do the promotion anyway. That&#8217;s pretty cool, there were never promotions like that when I was a student. Of course, back then you couldn&#8217;t spell Nittany without N-I-T either, even with Dunn as the head coach, so we had to <em>settle<\/em> for some <em>decent<\/em> basketball to watch. Still, free fast food wouldn&#8217;t be so bad. The team is going to be fun to watch grow and the current freshmen students will probably have a really fun ride, much more fun than those perennial NIT teams of the late 1990s, with it if they get on.<\/p>\n<p>The Nittany Lions won&#8217;t be dancing this year (11-15, 3-10), but despite being out-manned\/out-gunned\/etc. they have played respectively for the most part, especially senior guard Tim Frazier.  The future with Chambers as coach looks brighter than in a long time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE: <\/strong>Over on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/William-World-News-William-F-Yuraskos-blog\/146881748699655\">WWN Facebook page<\/a> (don&#8217;t forget to Like it), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/permalink.php?story_fbid=300395710014924&#038;id=146881748699655&#038;notif_t=feed_comment_reply\">one commenter notes that Bruce Parkill once gave her and a friend pizza<\/a> while the waited for NIT tickets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jerry Dunn never gave me a Big Mac.
