I’ve always been a Penn State fan, even before I moved to Pennsylvania in 1982. That year, my dad took us to the Penn state-Pitt game, as Penn State was contending for its first National Championship. I was in 10th grade. Dan Marino was the quarterback for Pitt.
Penn State won 19-9, and would go on to defeat Herschel Walker and Georgia for the National Championship. Todd Blackledge, Curt Warner, Greg Garrity, Kenny Jackson…they were my heroes in those days.

25 years later, JoPa is still kicking and coaching at 81 years old. And yesterday, Penn State finished off a fine season with an Alamo Bowl win over Texas A&M, 24-17.
Go JoPa!
