Kickoff is only 92 hours away, and if you're a Penn State football lunatic like me, you're already getting ready for the opener this weekend.

So what do you do for Penn State games?  If you go to the games, is there anything special you do at your tailgate?  Do you do shots of Jack Daniels every time some shouts "WE ARE".  Or what about the food.  Do you serve something unique that no other tailgate has, like Rocky Mountain oysters?

What about for away games or games that you watch at home?  Do you have some lucky underwear that you wear every game? Or do you throw darts at your lucky #14 jersey every time PSU throws an interception?

Let's share some stories about the wild $hit we do on gameday.  

Let's see how many posts we can start with the phrase, "This one time, when I was really drunk..."

So this topic has come up on a few threads, and I figured it's time for it to have a thread of it's own.  It's time to come up with some player nicknames for the 2008 season.

Special shout out to user "BlueWhiteLife" who originally came up with the nickname suggestion. 

Here are some that I have come up with.  Please add to the list in the comments section and we can create a poll later to see who has the best nickname for the 2008 season.

Evan "Rolls" Royster

Josh "No pain, No" Gaines

Rich "Toot my own" Ohrnberger

Dan "Breaking the" Lawlor

Jordan "Morning" Norwood

Micky "The Schooler" Shuler

A.Q. "You sunk my Battle" Shipley

Maurice "Stairway to" Evans

Chris "Coca" Colasanti

These are just a few of the ones I thought up.  Please feel free to add your own or suggest new names for the ones I've listed here.  Let's have some fun with this!

So ESPN has released their updated top 25 now that the spring games are wrapping up.  Some familiar faces in the top 5, including USC, Florida, and OSU (sigh).  PSU barely makes the cut at #25...behind Michigan State?  WTF? 

In fact, ESPN rates 4 Big 10 teams ahead of us:

OSU at #1

Illinois at #16

Wisconsin at #18

Michigan State at #24

On the plus side, scUM didn't make the list at all - surprise, surprise.
