Thank You, Stewart Mandel

SI.com again comes through with some quality, frank answers. This is a question posed to Stewart Mandel in his Mailbag.

"I'm tired of the mostly East Coast journalists telling us that Penn State is college football's 'story of the year.' Did Penn State lose Nick Saban and Alley Broussard before the season began? Did Penn State survive two hurricanes and numerous displacements? Did Penn State have to rearrange its schedule? Did Penn State have to play a 'home game' at Arizona State? Did Penn State play three overtime games this year? Did Penn State go on the road and beat a then-undefeated Alabama team in November?"

Mandel's Answer: "Did LSU win its conference?"

Thank you, Mr. Mandel. I could not have said it better myself.
