It’s official now, according to Dear Worldwide Leader’s Joe Schad. We all held out hope that Navorro Bowman would eschew those millions of guaranteed dollars from being a first round pick in the NFL draft and providing financial stability for his kid and mother in order to come back and help PSU defend their Capital [...]

After a tease of a loss at Minnesota (albeit, a game I never expected us to hang around in), the Fighting DeChellises will make their Big Ten home debut today against Wisconsin. In case you weren’t aware, Wisconsin is one of two teams that Ed DeChellis has yet to clinch a victory against. In fact, [...]

However, being able to recruit him to Happy Valley with the UCLAs, Dukes, and Indianas of the college hoops world vying for his services is probably a pipe dream. But hey, it’s Christmas Eve so we can always hope for a miracle of some sort…Right?

Tonight marks the non-conference finale for the Fighting DeChellises as they prepare to take on an American University team that if all goes according to plan, should end up getting beat down like Old Man Potter in the lost ending to It’s A Wonderful Life. This current American U squad is an empty shell of [...]

In homage to George Constanza, you can enjoy yourselves a nice double-dipping of Penn State sports action tonight beginning at 8 PM on ESPN2 when the women’s volleyball team and their coach of a thousand expressions* vie for a three-peat when they face off against Texas in the national championship game. I don’t know much [...]

One thing that’s become painfully obvious from watching the Fighting DeChellises so far is the lack of true post players that can defend and score down low. Andrew Jones is doing his damndest but his production has left more to be desired, not to mention he gets very little support from his fellow “forwards” who [...]

IT’S PENN STATE! IT’S VIRGINIA TECH! EVERYBODY WEAR WHITE! WE’LL EVEN GIVE YOU “BLINKING SHAKERS” TO MAKE YOUR THE OPPONENT FEEL LIKE INDIANA JONES IN THE SNAKE PIT! COME ONE, COME ALL! BASKETBALL MEDIOCRITY AT ITS FINEST!
Alright, I think I did my part to advertise Penn State’s latest quirky promotion for tonight’s game (7 PM [...]

Yes, there’s a basketball game tonight at the Jordan Center (6:30 PM, BTN). Despite the dismal weather reports (snow with sleet/freezing rain) and UMBC’s crappiness (0-7 overall), there should be plenty of hype behind this game because Gus Johnson will be announcing this one for the Big Ten Network. If you have no idea what [...]

In case you’ve been living under a rock with no internet for the past few days: Penn State lost a heartbreaker at Temple, 45-42. Yes, the game was as boring and painful to watch as the final score makes it seem. I would know because I actually made the excursion down to Philly to watch [...]

So a bout of blogging apathy consumed my desire to slap together a detailed preview of the Fighting DeChellises’ excursion to Temple (which Yours Truly will be in attendance for). Really, all you need to know is that PSU is a 7-point underdog at a Temple team that according to a lovely interview between BSD [...]
