Wow, this streak is kinda...kinda big

Penn State's 100-match winning streak is getting so big that even sports bloggers are starting to take notice! That's right. Anybody can be recognized by the boring ol' "traditional media," but if you want to really make a splash in today's go-go-go culture, blogs are where it's at, dude. Blogs and the X Games. And not one of these lame, one-person "I got somethin' clever to say!" blogs like...well like this one, but big blogs! Respected blogs! Blogs with ads!


And so it is that Bleacher Report -- and their intrepid, obviously highly intelligent writer Samantha Cooke -- mentioned Penn State in her 12 Days of Christmas post:

In honor of the 12 Days of Christmas, I will be highlighting a new story each day until Christmas. 

Super. 

I will start with day one and finish with day 12.

Really? Start with day one and finish with day 12? Did ya' come up with that on your own? OK, cheap shot, but you can hardly blame me. And I am complimenting Cooke for recognizing the Nittanies.

On the first day of Christmas, ESPN gave to me....a streak that will not be broken.

Amen!

Yes, it is college women's volleyball and most people do not care or even realize that is a competitive sport. 

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not a great start there, skipper. There are 320+ D1 universities with women's volleyball. The entire state of Nebraska is offended.  

But this is the most impressive streak I have seen, even more impressive than Cal Ripken and Brett Favre.

Aaand nice recovery! Especially with the invoking of The Ripken and The Favre. Cooke goes on to talk about the streak, thankfully leaving out the nearly ubiquitous (SAT word) mention of UCLA's bball streak, UNC's soccer streak, etc., and wraps it up with this little nugget of blogtastic goodness:

It is one thing to continue playing; it is another to continue to win.

BLAM. Love it. Love her. Love it as described by her.
