I was born in PA and my favorite color is blue. This is a terrific tribute to a team that doesn't know how to lose. Happy Blue Monday!

Sweetie, I love your Penn State blue and white. congrats on your team's record this year so far. We are gator fans which includes our children who graduated from UF as did their spouses. Also my dh who also graduated from there. The Gators are having a good year thus far too.

Do you remember in the 1980's when the Univ. of Miami and Penn State played for the National championship? UM players came out with camo's and game faces making fools of themselves? They were favored and Penn State beat them. I loved that game because Miami beat themselves with their bad attitude. A lesson for all!!!

Go Penn State.

Hugs...Jeanne

PS. We were in Jax for the FL. - GA game. It was great. We won Big!
I wonder if there is a chance FL. will play you for the National championship this year? Hmmmmmmm.

Good Morning Sweetie (oh what a lovely name) So nice to meet you and your family.
Football is not a big hit like in the U.S. but I know how much you all like it.
I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter Sherry Jo. I tried to read about it but it won't allow me. My heart feels sick about it.
Your family is beautiful and so many Grandchildren...you look way to young for that!!.
Have a great day and thanks for visiting me and Barbie.

Hi Sweetie,
How fun to have fun blue to follow and enjoy in your state. I really love college football. Our team in Washington is just so painfully bad this year :0(

I read a book a long time ago, I think it was called "Something for Joey" about a football player at Penn state whose little brother gets cancer. It talks about your coach in it and I remember thinking then what a good guy he must be. I'll have to pull the book out again and read it.
What a sweet blue monday post!

good for you for being such a fan. We're USC people over here. I had to laugh about your mention of tailgating and such. That is exactly what my hubbs was doing Saturday morning/afternoon. lol
Happy Blue Monday to you and have a fantastic day!

Wow! Beaver Stadium is huge -107,000 seats! I'm a Minnesota Golden Gophers fan (I know, nothing to brag about....and not a serious one at that though) but I hope you have a Happy Blue Monday! ~ Robyn

I certainly never meant to bring you pain with my post. You're in my prayers daily. I pray that they find who did this to your sweet daughter. I cannot even begin to imagine your pain and suffering. Your love for your family shines through in every post you do. God bless you Sweetie, I know this anniversary will be a rough one and I'll keep praying that there will be a break in the case so that your heart can be at peace about your beloved daughter.

Hi there Sweetie..

Your post today was great. How perfect that your states college football teams colors are blue and white. Thanks for the sweet comment you left on my blog about my teapots. I love them too and can't seem to keep myself from buying more when I find ones I really like. They don't just collect dust either. I use them all of the time. If you are ever visting in Minnesota, I would love to meet you in person and have you over for tea. That would be so much fun!!

When we lived in Howard (around 1997) we learned quickly to NEVER try to drive to town on football Saturdays! You all have some football fanatics there! LOL
