This was, to put it mildly, an emotional year for Penn State football fans.
I won’t pretend that I can list all of those emotions nor the depths of them here, but for most of you, it probably went something like this: The excitement of lofty preseason expectations in August turned to nervousness during sloppy performances in September turned to a strange blend of anger, disbelief and shock went it all went into the toilet in October turned to an admiration of how the Lions regrouped in November.
Saturday’s outdoor hockey game in the world’s most famed baseball stadium no doubt elicited some mixed emotions, too, bringing the past and the future of Penn State football into simultaneous focus even as the present-day Lions played one of their most complete games of the season, shutting down a similarly shorthanded group of Clemson Tigers, 22-10.
