Hajrá süti! Kapsz egy bátorító lökést.

A Penn State legnagyobb focisikerét a veretlenül lehozott 1986-os szezon végén, a favorit Miami Hurricanes ellen megnyert 1987-es Fiesta Bowl jelentette, ami egyben a bajnoki döntő volt.

Akkora siker volt, hogy 2009-ben könyv íródott róla:

The Perfect Season: How Penn State Came to Stop a Hurricane and Win a National Football Championship
by M. G. Missanelli

The 1987 NCAA championship football game between the Penn State Nittany Lions and the University of Miami Hurricanes is often considered the most memorable championship game in all of college football history. Both teams were undefeated going into the game, but the Hurricanes were heavily favored, as they had demolished each of their opponents during the regular season. Penn State pulled off of the most surprising upsets on January 2, 1987, by handing the University of Miami team its only loss of the season. The Perfect Season, with help from the Penn State players involved, Missanelli retells the story not just of this championship game but also of Penn State's entire season. Beginning with its Orange Bowl loss in 1985 (Penn State's only loss that year), Missanelli recounts the glorious 1986 season through the eyes of those Penn State athletes. The book also focuses on the media's buildup of the national championship, explaining why the University of Miami team was considered the villain in this battle. Numerous anecdotes stories are included, such as the incident where the University of Miami team arrived at the Fiesta Bowl wearing combat fatigues in an attempt to wage psychological war on its opponents. But such tactics appeared to have little effect the Penn State Nittany Lions, whose tenacity resulted in victory in the final minutes of the game. Drawing on interviews as well as his own recollections, the author relates the vivid story of one of the most triumphant seasons in the history of Penn State football. Anyone interested in college football, the Nittany Lions, or Joe Paterno's legacy will find this book impossible to put down.

Mike Misannelli did a fantastic job on this well researched, well written time capsule. It helped me recall my fondest memories of a magical season.
I strongly recommend reading the book, then watching the D.V.D. of the game.

Ez az internetnek hála ma már nem nagy dolog, a könyvet le lehet tölteni innen, a meccset pedig itt is meg lehet nézni 😊 :
