This is based on the true story about the relationship between Penn State football player John Cappelletti and his younger brother Joey, who has leukemia. John and Joey's bond is a strong one. Joey hangs out with John in the Penn State locker room, and inspires him to be the top college football player in the country. Their bond knows no boundries and goes beyond making touchdowns and winning awards. Sorry for the bad picture quality, it came from an old VHS tape. No Copyright infringement intended. Made for fun, not for profit.

Penn State Football History

A video depicting great moments in Penn State football history. If you are a Penn State fan you will love this video and even if your not you can not hate their legendary coach Joe Paterno. If you understood how much money he gives the University you really would begin to understand just how great of a man he is. Although Penn State only had 2 national Championships, both of which were under Paterno they had 7 undefeated seasons, five of which were under current coach Joe Paterno. Each season they were undefeated many believe they should have had a national championship although the past is gone and their is no changing that. Something that Penn State is known for is their distinct tradition. There are no names on the back of their jerseys because each jersey has its own legacy. Every Penn State fan from every generation can incorporate a name when they see a jersey. Number 32 may be KiJana Carter to some and Franco Harris to another depending on your age. Also #22 Evan Royster to a newer generation and legendary John Cappelletti to another. Cappelletti was Penn States only heisman trophy winner. And of course we can't forget Penn State has been termed Linebacker U simply because they have a tendancy of churning out Grade A Linebackers like an assembly line. From Jack Ham to LaVar Arrington to Sean Lee. The most recent team to go undefeated was Quarterbacked by Kerry Collins in the 1994-95 season, most Penn State fans hopes were crushed when they were not awarded a ...
