WE ARE! NOT GOING TO LOSE!

Oh, what a college football gameday. As you know, if you’ve read this blog at all on Saturdays this fall, we are (WE ARE!) Penn State (PENN STATE!) fans. You may have also caught onto the fact that we are living somewhere in Ohio State country. And, in case you missed it, Penn State, ranked #3 and undefeated, is playing Ohio State, ranked #9 and, ahem, not undefeated, tonight. There are no fans like Ohio State fans in terms of inappropriate behavior so we haven’t left the house today as we’re all decked out in Penn State gear. I didn’t even send BigBrother to preschool in his gear on Thursday as I didn’t want his first heckling experience to be without me present.

All the same the Fire Family is jazzed for tonight’s game. See?

(Note: Not sure where the last d in FireDad went or the closing parentheses. Those frames were right on the project. Very strange, no doubt.)

LittleBrother even got in on the action. (His huge smile is due to the fact that he kept throwing his sign on the ground. BigBrother thought this was hilarious and was laughing those big belly laughs that he is known for.)

Ah, raising little Nittany Lions.

All the same, yes, I’m nervous about tomorrow’s game. I thought about not posting. Because I’m sure that even if we win, certain friends of ours are going to have something (or, lots of things) to say. But, come on. Undefeated! Going into a big, big game! Of course I had to post!

If I have to eat crow tomorrow, well, so be it. But as one of our OSU fans said when discussing the game two weeks ago, what kind of fan would I be if I wasn’t supporting a win. And so, with that, the Fire Family predicts a very close, very interesting but, ultimately, Penn State prevailing game.

BigBrother says so. “BEAT A BUCKEYS, KAY?!” Right on, BigBrother.

Edited at 11:21pm EDT: Nerve-wracking, nail-biting, totally awesome game. WIN!
