Another week, another “out.” On Saturday, Beaver Stadium was Striped Out as the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Indiana Hoosiers engaged in a contest of American football in State College University Park, Pennsylvania. The Nittany Lions emerged victorious, 24-0. I have several thoughts, which are set forth randomly below.
1. “Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night.”
2. It’s the truest lyric the Boss ever wrote.
3. The idea that playing Indiana warrants a primetime kickoff and an “out” of any kind at Beaver Stadium is foreign. For as long as I can recall, Indiana has ranged anywhere from abject disaster to modestly successful point scorer.
