Wonder how many players from this team name their sons Charles Michael in honor of this team.

There have been a lot of articles about the way this team stuck together, but this - for me - is clearly the best. Thanks for sharing!!

This is a wonderful article- one of a few in a world full of sensationalism. I encourage everyone to send him an email thanking him for writing this------ his email: sbrown@tribweb.com

The whole Rick "Hawk" Slater thing got started when O'Brien appeared on The Goon Show back in April. It was on that show that Keith Conlin suggested that Slater should come talk to the team. You can hear the conversation at the 30:30 mark of the show segment below.

Amazing article. This really explains a lot about the dynamics of this team of 2012 and the special brotherhood of Penn State players. Keith Conlin who suggested the talk was a former player and the story behind Charlie Mike choked me up. That PSU meant so much to a former walk on that he wore his football belt to each mission is truly inspirational. Stories such as this are the real Penn State not Emmerts skewed impression. There is a reason why Penn State has the largest dues paying alumni association and over 500,000 living alumni and that doesn't even count the thousands of fans who are not alumni. Penn Staters like Slater are why I am Penn State proud.

SSome non psu fans dont get why we put 42 on helmets. Why we put 201242 on ri ng of honor for 8me win team. I get why they dont get it .... but this articcle could help outsiders see why. From rise and rally to an ot win vs wiscky we were indeed one team.
