We've Got Your "Seven Nation Army" Right Here.
I originally was going to do a quick Akron preview but soon realized how unmotivated I was to write up a bunch of regurgitated facts that the other PSU bloggers have already covered. Instead, I’ll just go ahead and do a quick run-down on my picks for the triumphant return of the Big Ten Bloggers’ [...]
The New York Times has been doing it’s own Top 25 college football preview all summer long and recently featured Penn State in the No. 10 slot. Since we’re talking about the NYT of course, the previews are ridiculously long but informative and are certainly well worth a read. One of the features in each [...]
With the start of the football season less than two weeks away, season previews are beginning to flock out of the woodwork. Needless to say, 99 percent of these previews follow the same formula: Say a few nice things about your opponents, throw out a key stat or two, predict the final score, rinse, wash, [...]
Wow, quite the performance by Michigan State’s Stephen “Batman” Holman, I must say. Too bad his team in typical Sparty fashion, blew the game in the end, practically setting the tone for the next 16 years of PSU dominance in the fake rivalry (12-4 since joining the Big Ten).
Or take this video from an Illinois [...]
Yep, It’s That Time Of The Year: Time for a new crop of incoming freshmen to learn the meaning what it takes to represent the best football student section in the country. The picture above, courtesy of Jay Paterno’s twitter page, was taken from last night’s “Be A Part From The Start” re-education camp organized [...]
That’s right, I’ve finally come up with a name for all future segments involving me putting up a bunch of links and cracking corny jokes wherever possible: “Not-So-Deep Thoughts.” In case you’re not familiar enough with your old-school SNL, here’s where I drew the inspiration for the name. Now, let’s get started, shall we?
Here’s Something [...]
POP QUIZ, HOTSHOT: You’re the coach and your team (a three-touchdown underdog, mind you) is clinging to a three-point lead with 2:30 to play in the game. It’s 4th and inches at your own 30-yard line and your opponent features a tenacious defense otherwise dubbed the “Blackshirts” that’s ready to blow up any attempt to [...]
It’s July, there’s no meaningful football talk yet, and since C&C is doing a fine job covering Talor Battle’s Serbian escapades, I’m going to start a running segment designed to carry me through this proverbial dead month for college sports bloggers entitled Reasons I Love College Football.
The basic premise of course, is to highlight the [...]
It’s the end of June, which means it’s that time of the year where the Big Ten Bloggers make their annual preseason predictions (most of which we’ll be dead wrong about). Because it’s a slow news period and for tradition’s sake, I’ve decided to participate for a second straight year. A hearty “thanks” go out [...]
So, the last couple of days have featured some news-worthy happenings and since I’m busy procrastinating from studying for my upcoming exam I figured “Hell, might as well dispense my two cents.”
All The BCS Cares About is Money “Student-Athlete” Welfare – For those of you that were unaware, representatives from the Mountain West Conference proposed [...]
