Sorry no headline. This was my first ever embedded vid post. Couldn’t also figure how to create a new Fanshot with headline and text, and also embed this vid. Anyhoo, try to watch it without spinetingles or eye moistness. Betcha can’t!

Uh oh

Hope this doesn’t mean I’m in trouble. I lifted it from PennLive, to which I was referred from the Rittenberg big ten blog. http://blog.pennlive.com/pennstatefootball/2008/07/are_you_ready_for_2008.html

It's not the scoreboard video for 08 though?

It’t can’t be…insofar as it is thinly veiled going away card for Joe Paterno.

There is a part where it says “Those who wait their turn”, ostensibly aboyut Shawn Lee, but which cuts to a video of Tom Bradley, and another where it says somethign about “going out on a high note”, theoretically about Williams et al, but which than cuts directly to a video of Joe Paterno.

It’s a neat video, but somebody thinks JoePa’s done after the season.

I'm 99% sure

It’s just a fan-made video.

You're good

If it’s a youtube video then Penn Live can’t lay claim to it. It’s out there for everyone to see.

That's what I thought

But that Jesse’s a stickler ;) and he had me jumpin for a sec…. Yeah, I’d be real surprised if that makes it onto the scoreboard with those captions interspersed….

I wasn't trying to freak you out.

In fact, for a few minutes I was freaked out. If that was the scorebard video, it was more conclusive than Joe Paterno announcing his retirement in my living room. It startled me, I was interested to know where it came from, and didn’t bother to mention why.

I am also 99% sure that this is not the real '08 scoreboard video

First of all it’s not really penn state’s style. (some of the captions don’t fit and the music tends to be split into at least two different songs in the real videos).

Second it didn’t come from the youtube user ‘PennStateFootball’ which is the typical poster of official psu videos.

Third, the last couple of stadium videos were not put on youtube until after they were shown for the first time in Beaver Stadium.

"Boy that student section now is up and really making a gigantic amount of noise. You see the sea of white, the white out. Well they are 2 minutes and 28 seconds away from the whiteout of the Buckeyes here tonight." - Ron Franklin
