The Lions' Pride

Jeff, are people showing up early?

I've been on the beat since 2001, and the only other game I can remember that had this much juice leading up to it was the 2005 Ohio State game. You all know how that one turned out.

If Braxton Miller is feeling sluggish or sore, he doesn't look like it. Solid zip on his throws, good bounce in his step in warmups. It looks like the Nittany Lions are going to get the full Miller experience tonight.

Sean is down on the sideline with the recruits now and there are quite a few of them.

Finally, fans starting to finally fill in stadium (it's 4:55). Student section nearly full already. Ohio State fans always travel well (saw a whole bunch in the tailgate lots) but it looks like they've been relegated to the upper deck in the north end zone.

Thank you students for getting to the game early!!!!!!!

Also, I didn't see a cow in State College all week.

Halfway hoping we don't have many posters here tonight, because they're all at the game. I was pretty pissed when I had to get rid of my tickets.

You'll have the usual home game crowd. We can't all live in PA

I can't remember the last time I was this anxious for a game. For any sport.

Crowd seems pretty loud over the announcers on tv.
