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, [...]

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 [...]

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!

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 [...]

Tonight marks the opening of the 11th Annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge* and who better to tip off such a prestigious one-sided affair than two schools that will be battling for supremacy in the bottom halves of their respective conferences? Penn State will have to travel tonight to Virginia in their first true road game of [...]

So, I had no idea whether Battle Does It Again would awaken from his blogging coma in time to get up a prediction for tonight’s game, being that it was Sacred Heart, I wouldn’t have blamed him. However, BDIA god bless his little soul, has his preview up and is calling for PSU (-17.5) to [...]

So, this is what it’s culminated to: All those months spent trouncing Canadians, delivering season tickets to fans’ doorsteps, and shooting “This is SportsCenter” style commercials (not to mention all the blood, sweat, and tears endured in practices and games) have led the Fighting DeChellises to this moment: A chance to secure the program’s first-ever [...]

So once again the lack of any intriguing news along with my busy real world schedule has led to another week-long posting drought. Time to put it to an end…
The Fighting DeChellises will of course, be playing their NIT semifinal game tonight against Notre Dame. Bus loads of students and numerous other PSU alums in [...]

Penn State an 11-point underdog at Florida? The unanimous decision amongst the counsel (i.e. HHV, C&C and John) is that Vegas is trying to sucker in unsuspecting sports betters to take the bait by propping up Florida’s recent basketball success (i.e. the back-to-back national titles in 06 and 07) and the Gators’ current 18-1 home [...]

Yes, I’m still alive, I’ve just been too caught up in “real world” activities…and by “real world activities” I mean watching the first couple rounds of the tournament the Fighting DeChellises should be in. While Yours Truly’s bracket has taken a few hits, it’s still very much intact as all of my Elite Eight teams [...]
