a huge thank you to, first and foremost, the players, past & present, who had the character to stay with their commitment to the penn state program rather than take the easy way out and run away; to bill o'brien for keeping the program afloat for two years while providing us with a bunch of tough.......fighters; to james franklin for coming to penn state with a vision based on the foundation laid by a cfb legend, success with honor, and maintaining that vision rather than succumbing to the nattering nabobs that surround any college fb program. but most of all, a big thank you to all these people for making penn state fb fun to watch again.
