It's game week. You know how long we've been waiting to say that? Since Sam Ficken went from goat to great, Bill O'Brien called us a bunch of fuckers and the 2012 senior class finished their Penn State careers in what seemed like a storybook ending.
But now, a new crop of players look to carry on the legacy in this new age of Penn State football that we are living in and we here at Black Shoe Diaries want to make sure that you enjoy these next three months as immensely as possible. Hence, we've come up with this little guide to help. Follow along, won't you?
ONE: If you're reading this post, it's obvious that you have come to Black Shoe Diaries for some sort of informational purpose. Well, why don't you join the conversation? Your thoughts on Penn State football only help to foster the community that we have here.

THREE: All of our writers are ALSO very active on the Tweeters and you like them as well (OK, you like most of them as well).
