Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #7: An Ugly Win is Still a Win
#18 Penn State Nittany Lions 33 – Indiana Hoosiers 28 Welcome to the seventh episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! And here’s my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with the highlights from yesterday’s Penn State game against Indiana. An Ugly Win is Still a Win Following consecutive losses to Ohio State and Michigan State, a game against Indiana may have been what the doctor ordered to right the Nittany Lions season. Sporting a 20-1 career record against the Hoosiers, they seemed like the perfect opponent to get the team ready for a brutal three week stretch coming up against Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin, all of whom are ranked in the…

Michigan State Spartans 21 – #8 Penn State Nittany Lions 17 Welcome to the sixth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! And here’s my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with another disappointing recap of yesterday’s game. A Career Day Still Ends in Defeat What started as a career day for quarterback Trace McSorley ended in a stinging defeat for the #8 Nittany Lions. For a second consecutive year, the Spartans handed them a loss on the last drive of the game and once again sealed Penn State’s fate to play for a National Championship. Starting the day, McSorley needed just 40 yards passing in order to become Penn State’s all…

#4 Ohio State Buckeyes 27 – #9 Penn State Nittany Lions 26 Welcome to the fifth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! And here’s my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with the disappointing recap of last night’s game. Hey, at least we ate well! White Out Disappointment A record attendance of 110,889 packed into Beaver Stadium for the annual White Out game against #4 Ohio State.

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #4: Friday Night Football?
#10 Penn State Nittany Lions 63- Illinois Fighting Illini 24 Welcome to the fourth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! I am turning it directly over to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, as I am rushing off to work in a few minutes! Friday Night Football? For the first time since November 26, 1982, Penn State would play a regular season game on a Friday night. In that game 36 years ago, the #2 Nittany Lions faced their in-state rival #5 Pitt and a quarterback whom most people have heard of…a guy named Dan Marino. The Nittany Lions would come away with a 19-10 victory and go on to…

#11 Penn State Nittany Lions 63 – Kent State Golden Flashes 10 Welcome to the third episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! If you recall from last week’s episode, my husband was taking my older son Archie to his very first Penn State game this weekend.

But I did manage to get some photos of a blue and white outfit for today’s post before my husband/photographer left town for the weekend. Let me turn it over now to my husband, Jeff, the…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #2: A Tale of Two Halves
#13 Penn State Nittany Lions 51-Pittsburgh Panthers 6 Welcome to the second episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback. Turning it right over to my husband to recap the highlights from last night’s Penn State game. A Tale of Two Halves Penn State has played Pittsburgh more times than any other team in the history of their football program. The only team that Pittsburgh has played more times than Penn State is West Virginia. Due to the long history between the two Pennsylvania teams, they have become bitter state rivals. The rivalry was on a 16 year hiatus, but was renewed in 2016 when Pittsburgh intercepted Trace McSorley in the end zone…

Penn State Nittany Lions 45 – Appalachian State Mountaineers 38 I cannot even pretend to understand what I am about to share here. I am relying heavily on sports news websites and my husband to draft this post. While I have no concept about football terms, game rules and regulations, or anything of the sort, I know that there are many women who do understand, follow, and love football. I also know that there are some football-loving men who read my blog. So this new series is for you: Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback. I just wanted a forum to share my creative blue and white Penn State inspired outfits every…
