If Jittany 1 was considered a success, than Jittany 2 was recognized as a miserable failure. Featuring a Jittany Saturday that lasted some 14+ hours due to afternoon thunderstorms and lengthy events, many were left feeling mentally and physically drained. Don was spot-on with this Saturday night quote: "I wish I was dead." Despite the downside, Jittany 2, aka The Mustache Jittany, was not without its cherished memories, including DF's leaopard-clad running of the bases, GSil not showing up, Player's dance party, live weigh-ins with individual entrance songs, playing bocce ball and drinking Miller Lites in a little league dugout, and of course, those uncomfortably sexy mustaches. Uber competitiveness, overall length, and boredom for those knocked out early in events led the Jittany to abandon its Individual format in lieu of the modern-day team structure. Oh, and KMan went wire to wire for an impressive Jittany title and we then feasted like Kings in Pollock Commons Dining Hall. Overall it was a bad Jittany, but boy did it ever stir up some smiles.
