H2K
yep - we've reached hit 2000 - it was fun watching the 1900s "hey so and so was born in 19XX" "hey, I was born in 19XX" "hey, I hate everyone born in 19XX, and after, cause they're younger than me!"
Still working on new website components - We have added a chat room.
I will be sending around a "save the dates" email soon - to get an idea of who may be coming up for which games.
It's time to start planning!!!!!

Exciting changes at 2thelion.com
Our parent website (sounds so corporate), 2theLion.com, is one year old. Awwwwwwwh. And we're closing in on 2000 hits! Not bad progress for the off season.
We've recently acquired the domain "2theLion.net" which we are going to use as a subsidiary site, hosting photo albums, blogs, maps, and other "dynamic" features. Look for that to be up and running sometime this month.

Blue White 2006 - Recap Part One
Well, Rob from Diesel Tailgate has posted his recap of the tailgate/day - so I guess I should catch-up and post mine. I've had this written for weeks (oh yeah?) but am just now finding time to type it...or at least some of it...
Saturday morning began dreary - misting rain and gray. I was particularly peeved because the 2 preceding days had been "perfect!" - we knew that the forecast was for rain - but we were cautiously optimistic that if the weather stayed as it was at 6am then it would be so bad. Sadly, that was (just about) the clearest part of the day.
We left Mom's house at 7:15am and drove to Walmart to pick up ice. We were the first to arrive at the "meeting point" outside of the Nittany Lion Inn. The rest of the convoy trickled in and we were on our way to the stadium before 8am. We pulled into the parking lot on the west side of the stadium and parked in the front row of tailgaters.
The weather was annoying but it didn't dampen our fun. We set up the 3 canopies ("but what if I only have a cup of pee?" - will never get old; never) chairs and tables, collected coolers and various libations and soon had breakfast on the grill(s). Suz had pre-made breakfast egg dishes, the crust of which was Stove Top Stuffing (instead of potatoes) with scrambled egg, breakfast meats and cheese on top; these were quickly dubbed "stuffin muffins". I warmed them on the new grill along with some "meat pies." I also made some makeshift homefries from Birdseye potatoes and bacon grease; I had made a "hashbrown casserole" but I used fresh potatoes instead of frozen and, let's just say, the color of the cooked product was not appetizing - tasted great, just couldn't serve it. Beth and Brian made bacon, sausage and pancakes on other grills.
Suz assembled the group drink "OrangeBowlina" which she had created during the Orange Bowl broadcast in January. The citrus vodka, orange juice and lemon/lime soda recipe translated well into mass quantities and all 5 Gallons were consumed in record time.
The rain did alter eating habits and presentation, but it was all good. A little later we served more meat pies (including keilbasa rolls, sausage biscuits and beef pockets). I grilled up the shrimp - which again, were a big hit. We served mac n' cheese and meatballs in red sauce in our "hot trays" (love them!).

Joe's in the Hall and the brainwahing continues
The College Football Hall of Fame has changed its rules for induction. Previously only retired coaches could be elected into the Hall, but now, any coach over the age of 75 is eligible. So, guess who is in the first class of inductees since the rule change? Yup, Joe Paterno.
As far as the brainwashing goes - Katie's mom told me a great story. After the Kentucky Derby, the Philadelphia Inquirer had a big picture of Barbaro on the front of the sports section. Amy, the 2 year old, LOVES horses and wanted the picture - so Kelly cut out the picture and Amy was running around with her "horsie" - Katie, never one to be left out of the fun, complained to her mother that she wanted a "picture" also.
Tired, she cut out the other "big" photo on the front page, which happened to be a picture of Joe Paterno (having just been elected in to the Hall) - apparently Katie ran around their house touting the greatness of "my Joseph" and the picture was later found tucked safely into one of the family beds. When asked if she was "going to go to Penn State for college" Katie replied "No, I'm going to go with Madeline" - she was then told, "well, that's were Madeline went" so then it was okay. It's working!!!!

Ki-jana on Spring Break?
Got this photo from Dena - whose co-worker's brother (Kevin Bacon?) took this pic with KJ in Fort Lauderdale (we have a place in Fort Lauderdale) this past March. KiJana's still a cutie - but isn't he getting a little old for Spring Break? I love the dynamic of the picture you can certainly tell which one is the former #1 NFL draft pic.
