I can't believe that it's almost here. This is looking to be a very awesome tailgate. We've got plenty of people coming. The carnival from last year will be back and right next door to our tailgate. There will also be some interest new things, like deep fried pickles.

Items we still need are in red on the equipment list at http://dieseltailgate.no-ip.org/images/psu/BWW06/bww06_equip.xls I will also be making the ritual Friday morning run to Nittany Beverage. I can pick up a case for you if you let me know.

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.

Brainwashing campaign officially underway



For the next generation of PSU fans... As I had previously reported, Katie has already visited campus, the Corner Room, The Tavern, and her favorites, Animal Kingdom and The Growing Tree.

Katie and her little sister got PSU sweatshirts for Christmas (Santa is so on board). Kate enjoys wearing her sweatshirt she knows it makes me "so happy" and she loves yelling "Penn State!" Her parents (who, if I haven't mentioned are not Penn Staters) usually pair the sweatshirt with a matching pair of navy sweatpants - it's fabulous - she looks like a little wrestler.

Here's a picture of Kate in hers, practicing her "Don't I really deserve an A" look.

Those stinkin' Penguins are red!



And here I thought they'd be black and white and wear top hats and tails - Nope - the Penguins of Youngstown State (I still have to shake my head and smile about their mascot choice) don red and black uniforms.

So, the reality of this observation is that we have 2 NO red tailgates this season - Penguins in Sept and Temple Owls in Nov.

Ya know - Tressell coached at YSU for 15 years - the seeds of the evil sweatervest were planted there.
