Great Win Against JoPa !!!!



What a difference a year and new Coaching staff makes…
Good Job Coach Dantonio !!

Congratulations Spartans.. !! What a Day.. What a Win !!!!

The Come back kids.. they never quit.. laid down… Every game they played Hard… Played as a unit .. as a Team… For me.. this year went along ways to kill the ghosts of the past.. More on that later…

PSU went home with JoPa’s tail between his 98 year old legs.. The Lion from Nittany didn’t roar.. but purred.. They were the Little brother who thought they had the game in hand.. but Big Brother stepped up slapped him down and took the Land Grant trophy for the Duffy Building.. Although it aint a very attactive Momento...

The Spartan Defense has been the Bomb all year.. Studs.. Wow.. . Not sure what to say.. but Geat job against JoPa guys !!! In a tough situation, having to make 4 critial stops.. they came up strong time and time again!!  Gimme a hit of the Green Kool-Aid..

"O" Line also did the job... The guys in the trenchs get most of the credit !!



Great Day for Football a Win and Chef Andy’s remarkable Leadership… Glen Brought a Grill (In addition to And’ys 3 grills and Hot plates..…) He made sure Opie didn’t pass out… Allison let Andy share some Awesome Maple Syrup Whisky… Sounds bad.. Tastes Fantastic!!!!.. The 2007 Beer Shot Gun Championships wereheld at the Tail Gate.. Opie continued his 25 year consecutive rain as King Chug.. Taking the Crwon and dashing the hopes of an Upstart challenger Josh (The dribbler)…  First round of Trials for 2008 Chug series starts First Home game in September 2008... Practice young men if you want to DeThown the King...



A Sad Milestone: Several SpartyOn Members had their Last Tailgate as Undergrads… Now is on the Grad School and the WORLD… Good Luck Mal, Kate, and Randy.  Sparty On…  See you at least once in 2008….

Great Game Spartans..   What a year !!! Dantonio exceeded expectations !!

Now its one of 3 Bowl game Possibilities !!!

Insight Bowl in Tempe (Dec. 31)
