PITTSBURGH -- If ya got tickets for this season, consider yourself lucky, because the 2008 Nittany Lion home football slate is officially sold out. No more tickets available, unless of course you're willing to pay about a grand or donate a kidney.

If you don't have tickets, don't worry about it. You can still head to the Valley every Saturday and partake in the fun, heck for some of the games (cough, cough Coastal Carolina), the tailgating should be more exciting than the action inside the stadium. So pack up your RV, grab a case or two of your favorite, um, soda, and come join the party. If you need a place to stay, just give me a call, I got a futon.

Also, the athletic department has announced there will once again be a football eve on Aug. 29th at 7:45 in the stadium. This is pretty cool, you might get to see a student shank a field goal attempt for free books. And the highlight is watching good ole JoePa address the crowd. I can still remember him telling his team "We walk like men," during the 2005 football eve. It's pretty cool and fun for kids who get to see their favorite players without helmets and pads.

Here's his speech at last year's football eve, gotta love the fire and humor

P.S., lil' Jack doesn't have big enough hands for the knuckleball yet, but he sure does like chewing on wiffle balls.
