10-23

I only have time for a quick little post because I’ve got some actual work to do (I’ll blog about the PSCG retreat and other stuff later). This morning Jacob came into my office to wish me a Happy Mole Day and to wish a Happy 6,010th Birthday to the Universe. To quote Jacob, “whether you’re a chemist or a creationist, there’s cause for celebration!” Just thought I’d pass those little tidbits along, as well as the informative link.
Also, you might notice a slightly new look to all the pages on my website. Sunday afternoon I finished updating the webpages and then uploaded all of them. Basically there are only a few minor design tweaks (points will be arbitrarily awarded to those who leave a comment and correctly identify what changed!), but now all the pages on my site actually do follow the same template, and the code is *much* cleaner, too (I’m a big fan of clean code). It took more time to get everything looking just how I wanted it (for now), and I’m glad to have that done and out of the way at long last.
Just over 3 days to go until the #1 team in the nation, the Ohio State Buckeyes, come to Happy Valley to take on the #25-ranked Penn State Nittany Lions. The game’s gonna have an 8pm ET kickoff and be nationally televised on ABC. A student White Out has been declared for the game, and ESPN College GameDay has also announced that the show will be originating from Penn State this Saturday morning (10am-noon ET on ESPN)! The weather forecast is looking lousy as usual, but I’ll be there for both, rain or shine, so y’all should definitely tune in! If you have any good sign ideas, I’m taking those too. Some possibilities that I’ve seen (or remember seeing in ’05 when GameDay was last here) include:
–OS who?
–Ohio is a fake state
–Our drum major could beat up your tuba player
–The only good thing about Ohio State is they hate Michigan too
–AJ Hawk still plays with My Little Ponies
–Maurice Clarett delivers my pizza (or pumps my gas)
–Ohio is for poor people
–The Buck$ stop here
–I want my sweater vest back
–O-H! N-O! (or O-H! UH-OH!)
–Another Buckeye Collapse in Happy Valley
–Win in Happy Valley? OSU must be nuts!
–Ohio State cheats
–Mark May wears Penn State pajamas
–Buckeye QBs: Official flowers of PSU (the SEC). Often planted in Beaver Stadium (the desert).
–We decide when OSU hears the snap count
–Hate Ohio State? 110,000 can’t be wrong!
If you have any additional suggestions, just let me know! I’ll post what sign I’ll be going with (if any) sometime on Friday, if not earlier.
