SHOW TIME

Apologies for the lack of posts this week with the Lions date with Norte Dame looming, you can rest assured it wasn't due to the lack of enthusiasm.

The team is in Manhattan and the students are in route for one of the biggest Penn State basketball games in recent history. All of the Lions will be playing in Madison Square Garden for the first time, while Notre Dame just played their a few short weeks ago for the Big East Tournament.

It's obvious the excitement levels around this program have never been higher since their 2001 Sweet 16 run. WJAC in State College posted this article and video clip this afternoon, as the 12, yes 12 buses full of students prepared to depart from Curtain Road in State College. The video literally gave me chills when I saw how many students are making the trip to support the team, after their snub by the NCAA selection committee.

The team's excited, Happy Valley is excited, and New York is excited as Penn State fan's will look to "White Out the Garden" tonight. See you there.
