2001: Penn State vs. Ohio State: Joe Paterno breaks Bear Bryants record wins 324th game

Ten years ago today, I was sitting with my girlfriend (she’s my wife now) and friend Brad in section SEU, row 80. That is directly under the scoreboard in the top row of the south end zone upper deck. There were occasional flurries and a big 18 point 2nd half deficit. I promise it isn’t [...]

#22 Penn State Nittany Lions 34 NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS 24

Just before the game began last night, my wife asked me who had the first possession and I said, “hopefully, us, Northwestern is kicking off.” So, naturally Chaz Powell fumbled away a good kickoff return and Dan Persa and Northwestern quickly converted to go up 7-0 before Penn State QB Matt McGloin could even get [...]

Blue White Roundtable: Penn State vs. Northwestern

Bolden and McGloin debate unsettled by Joe Paterno, rock, paper, scissors, rock’em sock’em robots…

Everybody but Penn State head coach Joe Paterno seems to have concluded that Matt McGloin is the best or “least bad” option as Nittany Lions quarterback right now. While Rob Bolden may continue to get the start, just about everybody figures that McGloin will get the majority of snaps against the Purdue Boilermakers this week, [...]
