I'm going out on a limb here: You probably noticed something different about our home page.

The look as you know it is still there; it's just lower. The first thing you see is what we call our Game Day page. We've been using it on days of football games this season.

Part of working at a newspaper is knowing your readers, and it doesn't take an expert to know that our readers love Penn State football. It's the reason our football videos have been increasingly more popular and circulation skyrockets after a big Nittany Lion win.

So we adjusted our homepage to focus on our football coverage. And just in time. Our football writers have been working around the clock to keep you informed.

Since we know you're always looking for more football, don't forget to check out the Footblog. While you're at it, keep our photography blog, Exposure, in mind. Senior photographer (and Californian) Nathan Smith will be chronicling his experiences photographing the event. Just check out all the equipment he needs.

It's about time to settle in for the Alamo Bowl. And, of course, a Happy Birthday to my dedicated reader (right?) of a sibling.
