Every year there is that first morning that makes your think, “hey, it feels like football season.” For the second year in a row, that year came on the day I departed for my week down the Shore. Fritz even text’ed me that day saying the same thing.<\/p>\n

This morning felt that way too. We are almost exactly five days away from kickoff and I’m in the mood and ready. I blasted the Blue Band<\/span> on the way in, singing along (poorly) the whole time. Wiley<\/b> might be on to something when he sings this is “the most wonderful time of the year.”<\/p>\n

Two Saturdays ago, as we drove onto the Stone Harbor Blvd. drawbridge back to the Jersey mainland and away from vacation, a Blue Band CD went in and the countdown began.<\/p>\n

I’m going to try to compile Nittany Lions headlines at lunch throughout the week. I’ll also see about getting some good videos up in the evenings too. Tomorrow, I’ll post a compliation of predictions from the Town & Gown Football Annual<\/span> and Blue White Illustrated<\/span>. Wednesday is Blue White Roundtable<\/span>, Thursday is my game preview and some time this week I hope to have something extra special too.<\/p>\n
