For most of my life, Penn State football has been my refuge, a consistent source of entertainment, comfort and joy. I refuse to allow Jerry Sandusky's depravity, Graham Spanier's duplicity or the mass media's love affair with sensationalism to ruin that for me. In that spirit, I am going to start creating some FanPosts that I hope will allow us to have some fun enjoying what brings us here - Penn State Nittany Lions football - with the understanding that doing so in no way, shape or form makes me (or any of you) a monster. With that said, here is my first exercise. I hope it will generate some conversation and debate.
I challenge you, the BSD community, to select the best Penn State football game of the last decade. I picked one from each season, and certainly there will be some bottom dwellers (ahem, 2003... I'm looking in your direction), but there are some very strong contenders and a few darkhorses (Tonto's Demise and Pazo wings not included). So vote for your favorite, and defend your choice in the comments section. You aught to do it straightaway.
