Owl Country?

We just got inside Lincoln Financial Field, and I've got to say --- Temple's about to be embarrassed.

No, I'm not talking about the score here. I'm getting a kick out of the "THIS IS OWL COUNTRY" banners strewn across the field. Because if they actually believe that, they're about to be invaded.

When we walked through the parking lot, Temple fans were few and far between. Corey McLaughlin likened it to the flower gardens at Penn State --- there was beer, footballs, and loads and loads of Penn State fans. Blue shirts outnumbered red about 10-to-1.

There's no telling how many Penn State fans will be inside the stadium, or if this will be like a homefield advantage for the Lions, but one thing is certain --- Penn State fans definitely travel well.

Anyhow, I'm going to grab a cup of coffee. I suggest you grab one, too, because this is bound to be a long one.

The Roster

Mug

Matt Fortuna is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Collegian. He has previously covered the men's tennis, soccer and basketball teams. A traditionalist, he would like nothing more than to see Joe Paterno throw it back to his Brooklyn days and install the single-wing offense this season.

Mug

Nate Mink is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian and a 5-foot-10 sesquipedalian from Allentown who has tried to grow facial hair for 20 years. Sadly, he has been unsuccessful thus far. He is anxious to get a new driver's license in September and hopes the bartenders at Zanzibar in Ann Arbor believe he's 21.

Mug

Wayne Staats is a senior majoring in journalism and history and is a football reporter for the Collegian. He previously covered the baseball and women's basketball teams. He never made it far playing competitive football, unless Nerf football in grade school counts.

Mug

Matt Brown is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Collegian's football editor. He previously covered the Penn State men's basketball, baseball and women's soccer teams. While a fan of most sports, he thinks the 14 Saturdays of the college football season are the best 14 days of the year and all 34 bowl games are worth watching.
