Penn State won the Big11Ten! Everything is coming up roses! The Nittany Lions throttled Michigan State 49-18. It seems like everyone we know was at the game, but e watched it over at my parents house with a nice warm fire. We had a great time, though a Yale win would have been nice too.

Today is big day for two college football fans named William Yurasko. I’ll be over at my dad Bill’s house for a doubleheader feature our blue and white alma maters. The third William Yurasko is a little too young to understand all of the fuss, but we’ll teach him about it in due time.

I just have a bad feeling about this game and I probably should not based on Black Shoe Diaries analysis of the game. Michigan State is not exactly a one-trick pony, but outside of Javon Ringer, they cannot run the ball. Penn State seems to be equal or superior to the Spartans in most respects, [...]

Zombie Nation provided this week’s questions.
1. So, are you freaking out this week? Did you honestly think Penn State would be in this position, going into the last week of the season? How about Michigan State?
No, I’m not freaking out, though I could be. Oh, you meant about the Penn State game, no I am [...]

Though the ESPN/ABC College Football coverage map is not updated as of last night, I have confirmation that Penn State vs. Michigan State is scheduled on WJLA-TV 7 in Washington D.C., so I know what channel I will need.

Lions spring upset – Patriot-NewsHubris can be funny:

“Welcome to the Northwestern of the East where, before 6,000 fans, the Spartans whipped [...]

VS.

Penn State Nittany Lions 31 Michigan State 35
This loss is on the defense. Giving up 35 points?! They only times they stopped Michigan State was when they got turnovers which they didn’t even necessarily cause. When was the last time the defense had such a bad half?
It was good to see Sean Lee [...]

#22 Penn State Nittany Lions vs. Michigan State
LAST WEEK
Penn State somehow shutout Temple, 31-0 in Philadelphia.
THIS WEEK’S OPPONENT: MICHIGAN STATE
You throw the records out when the Land Grant Trophy is on the line. Michigan State is 6-5 and looking for another win to guarantee a bowl berth. With new coach Marc Dantonio at [...]

Michigan State is technically our “rival” but it is hard to get into that even though there have been some exciting games over the years. Black Shoe Diaries tries to make it better, but ultimately that entire program is so dysfunctional and bi-polar that it is hard to take them seriously. Take a look at [...]

Mike from Black Shoe Diaries came up with this week’s questions.
1. Why did Temple make our defense look like another MAC team in the first half?
The usual, noon start, road game, etc. I also think Temple caught Penn State off guard with their aggressiveness.
2. Should Penn State burn Stephfon Green’s redshirt if Evan Royster is [...]
