Triple Overtime!

I'm from Philadelphia. So when the word overtime is heard, I run for the hills and hide. I'm not used to winning the close ones. Philly sports are just plain cursed.

For years though, Penn State Football was immune to the curse, despite it's close proximity to the City of Brotherly Love. But over the last few years it seemed that the curse had headed west and blanketed State College, PA.

No more of that talk, though! Not after a nailing biting, 26-23 triple overtime Orange Bowl victory over Florida State! What a game!

Kudos to Joe Paterno and his team. And the same to Bobby Bowden and his FSU squad. It was Bowden's last game and they made it a great one.
