Up until about high school, I didn't really use the Internet, not for any real reason other than I'd rather be outside than surfing the web. For me, watching football was reading the newspaper, listening to the radio, and then sitting down with the family. In a lot of ways not spending time on the Internet kept sports pretty innocent for me. I don't want to say that I regret getting online to talk about sports, it's been a blast, but some part of what made sports so special has been lost in the Internet's constant need to troll in the most ironic ways possible.
That's what, for me at least, made Penn State's 4th title so special. It wasn't a corporately burdened, over examined team playing for some ugly trophy. It was one of Penn State's move beloved teams playing for their slice of history. For 3 quick sets, sports wasn't about what Mary May thought, millions of dollars, or sponsorships. The only thing that mattered was ending a good story on a good note. And did it ever.
