EDGEWOOD, Pa. -- The first sign of fall is finally upon us. Sure, it's still as hot as the Florida State cowgirls outside, but it's the first official day of fall practice for the Nittany Lions.

And while we may not be able to get our eyes on the action with the security around the Lasch Football Building resembling Obama's entourage, we'll try to get the skinny on all the latest stories during media day on Friday.

Today's the day when the quarterback battle starts to unfold and the by now almost mythical "Spread HD" offense begins to be implemented.

Yes friends, we are almost there, less than a month away from the season opener. Football is in the air. It's so close you can almost smell it, well that is if you can pull yourself away from the wafting aroma of pine tar and chewing tobacco, because it still is baseball season. But fear not, tailgating debauchery is right around the corner.
