1994 Penn State Nittany Lions Football Team

 Hard to believe that this was 30 years ago. Now it is no secret that I am a huge fan of football, but we all have our moments that introduced us to the game of football. And for me, that was the 1994 Penn State Nittany Lions.

Growing up in the state of Pennsylvania, football was one of the main sports any kid was brought up on and I was no different. I was only four years old at the time and I remember seeing how my dad and especially my big brother Cody were while watching Penn State throughout that season.

And man did this team leave an impression on me! The Nittany Lions went undefeated for the year which included winning the Rose Bowl against the Oregon Ducks which is ironic because 30 years Penn State will be facing Oregon for the Big Ten Championship this coming weekend.

But again, this team was incredible to watch because they just had some great players on the roster. Penn State was so explosive throughout the year as they were blowing out a lot of good teams that season.

I mean, when you have great players like quarterback Kerry Collins, running back Ki-Jana Carter, wide receivers like Joe Jurevicius and Bobby Engram, also there was tight end Kyle Brady, offensive lineman Marco Rivera and that is just the offense. Heck! Offensively, Penn State averaged 47.8 points per game while having an average of 520 yards per game

The defense on the 94 team was heavily underrated in my humble opinion mainly because everybody was talking about the offense so much. But defensively, the Nittany Lions gave up a total of 232 points for the season, which was under 20 points per game.

Man was this team was so much fun to watch, to this very day it still blows my mind that they never won the National Championship. It is a shame, but the memories of being with my family watching this team play and being introduced to the game of football leaves a special place in my heart for this team.

Until Time Next!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody!🙏🙏🙏

The Wacky Adventures Of Joshua and Chad: McVeytown Eagles Championship Parade!

Image
Well tonight was a pretty special night down here in McVeytown as Chad and I along with many other people who live here in McVeytown all came together to celebrate a special accomplishment. And that was how all three of the McVeytown Eagles teams made it to the CKYFL championship games. Winning in both the Peewee and Midget divisions and placing second in the Mighty Mights. Stuff like this doesn't happen often in such a small town where I live so to see these kids have the time of their lives during the parade was certainly a sight to see. One of the things I love about covering sports is when I see kids learn, work hard and turn it into success. And these kids were learning a lot throughout the season and watching them grow and not only become better football players, but better people as well.  Which is why I have really enjoyed covering the CKYFL these last few years for Hometown Sports. People like Travis McCullough who is the President of the league along with Adam Weaver, Rob...

What's going on? Being honest with ourselves!

 I don't like to cause any problems with anybody but there have been a lot of things that I been wanting to get off my chest for a very long time now. And that is in my humble opinion people don't seem to want to be honest about really anything anymore. Now, I could be just a little paranoid, maybe my anxiety is getting the best of me or whatever. But as time has past I have been getting a weird feeling all over me. You see, I just feel as though people no one is really being honest with each other, themselves or to God anymore. I wish I could describe it better but it has been a concern of mine for quite a long time now and I feel like it is getting worse. People would always say things to me like, Josh it is just a different time. But honestly, I think that is just a lame excuse. And the reason I say that is because a lot of those same people who say that kind of stuff to me are the exact same people who then say that they don't understand how things around us are getting...

Nick is a local mechanic who has been serving this community for many, many years and has always been a generous, hard worker and honorable person at the Dickson's Garage along with his father Ken. He and his father are also local racing legends around here in Mifflin County having raced for a couple generations now. Nick and his family have always been honest with me and my family and has helped take care of our vehicles for many years. They are amazing,  hardworking people who now need our help. And according to the go fund me page that was set up by Andrea Baker and Valeri Thornburgh. The doctors had told his family that it will take months at minimum for him to be able to recover and will not be able to work for the foreseeable future. Please support anyway you can for the Dickson family in their time of need. ...
