The Penn State, UCF, Cedar Cliff and Penn Manor football squads have all embarked on their transatlantic trips to Ireland.
But these four pigskin parties aren't the only teams headed to the Emerald Isle. PennLive's Penn State football coverage trio of beat writer Bob Flounders (@BobbyFlo7), columnist David Jones (@djoneshoop) and photojournalist Joe Hermitt (@JoeHermitt) have also arrived in the land of St. Patrick.
Starting Wednesday, Hermitt will be your eyes on Ireland, capturing images from Penn State's practices Wednesday and Thursday, the team's tour of the Guinness Storehouse, the Friday pep rally and Penn Manor Cedar Cliff game, all angles from Saturday's Croke Park Classic and much, much more.
Bob Flounders has his ear locked on the football side of things, piling in update after update on the events of James Franklin's first game as Penn State head coach.
PennLive's Bob Flounders and David Jones.
David Jones is our man on the rainy Irish streets and in the lush countryside. He is capturing the mood of the trip that will be taken by tens of thousands of PSU alumni and fans.
Their coverage will be augmented on PennLive by frequent stateside reports from Audrey Snyder and Dustin Hockensmith, the musings of our 50-Yard Lion blogging team and by the fine works already being filed by the eight students from Penn State's John Curley Center for Sports Journalism who arrived in Ireland a few days ago.
As always, check out our Penn State football page throughout the week for all things Nittany Lions.
