Move over 2015 Michigan State, because we might seeing another non-Big 2 member of the Big Ten Conference make the College Football Playoff. The Penn State Nittany Lions, your #6 team in the nation, are looking the CFP part; on both sides of the ball. The defense may be ahead of the offense at this point, but they'll probably get there, it all just depends on how fast their … [Read more...] about Can Penn State Make the College Football Playoff?

David Braun Fires Back at James Franklin’s Quiet Stadium Remarks
Congratulations to Northwestern Interim Coach David Braun and Penn State coach James Franklin. You two have entered the chat on this college football season's predominant theme. See Lou Holtz vs Ryan Day and Deion Sanders vs, well, everybody he has played thus far. You know that old cliche: "we don't hear any of the outside noise. We don't pay attention to the critics. We never … [Read more...] about David Braun Fires Back at James Franklin’s Quiet Stadium Remarks
#6 Penn State at Northwestern Game Preview, Prediction
Northwestern has already eclipsed last season's win total, and they did so in just four weeks. They have also finally found a QB again, as Ben Bryant has now locked down the position. They have a legit WR1 now too, in Bryce Kirtz, the reigning Big Ten offensive player of the week. Just in time too, as the #6 Penn State Nittany Lions come to town as massive favorites. It's … [Read more...] about #6 Penn State at Northwestern Game Preview, Prediction
Hurricane Sandy cancels Penn State media day
The effects of Hurricane Sandy, and the Frankenstorm are already being felt long before it made landfall on the Jersey Shore. The effects are being felt well inland- including central rural, landlocked Pennsylvania. … [Read more...] about Hurricane Sandy cancels Penn State media day
Penn St sued for $4 million by Mike McQueary
With all the vacated Joe Paterno wins, the last time Penn State won a football game, officially, Mike McQueary was the quarterback. Today he's suing the school where he made his name for $4 million- which is probably much much more than the victims of Jerry Sandusky will get. McQueary is seeking whistleblower status and wrongful termination damages. Right now he's unhirable … [Read more...] about Penn St sued for $4 million by Mike McQueary
Life after sanctions for Penn State, Jordan Hill and company
Defensive tackle Jordan Hill is arguably the best player on the current Penn State team (assuming Silas Redd leaves as he's rumored to be doing so). Hill was at Big Ten Media Day, so I asked him other than wins how does this team heal? "Being together, being through this. Going out and just playing football. You know if we just sat there and gave up, we would regret it for … [Read more...] about Life after sanctions for Penn State, Jordan Hill and company
Penn State lucky to avoid television banishment
For all the talk of the death penalty, and what Penn State got sanctioned with, (and what they didn't get sanctioned with) one penalty would have hit PSU very hard had it been applied- a television ban. Penn St. athletic director David Joyner was at Big Ten Media Day, and he discussed how much tv coverage of the team means to his program: … [Read more...] about Penn State lucky to avoid television banishment
Feds subpoena Penn St. Univ in Sandusky case; seek financial records
It looks like things are finally getting done in the Penn State Jerry Sandusky child rape case. Now the Federal officials are stepping in and turning the wheels, overriding the inactivity that we've seen from the state and local levels. From the AP: … [Read more...] about Feds subpoena Penn St. Univ in Sandusky case; seek financial records
Penn State’s Tim Frazier has serious NBA potential
In the Big Ten, Penn State is dead last in attendance. The Nittany Lions average about 7,000 but if you ever watched one of their home games on television, you'll see lots of empty seats in the lower bowl; to the point that it looks like they have 700 fans. And they're missing out too! And a bonafide NBA draft prospect in point guard Tim Frazier. Well, we're here to make sure … [Read more...] about Penn State’s Tim Frazier has serious NBA potential
Nike’s Phil Knight Addresses Paterno Firing at Memorial Service
Someone had to talk about it; the elephant in the room. In all the tributes paid to Joe Paterno these past few days, a few talked about his recent dismissal. Little to none discussed it in a substantive sense. Nike CEO Phil Knight at least touched upon it; but ended up doing little more than Paterno/Penn State cheerleading. Maybe it would have been better if he had just kept … [Read more...] about Nike’s Phil Knight Addresses Paterno Firing at Memorial Service
