This Aggression Will Not Stand – Black Shoe DiariesSomebody in Minnesota clothes wrapped up the Nittany Lion Shrine up in a maroon blanket or something. Oddly enough, the person in question is wearing Penn State blue underneath the Minnesota shirt, so perhaps somebody got a little Sue Paterno in him.
Real or not, the Golden Gophers [...]

Kevin from Penn State Clips has this week’s questions.

Minnesota-PSU officials discuss changing game date – Minneapolis Star Tribune/CDTThe Oct. 7 game between the Nittany Lions and the Golden Gophers may be moved due to a possible Twins appearance in the ALDS. This is an ongoing problem for Minnesota, but it will be remedied when they moved into a new outdoor stadium.
One possibility is [...]

Nittany Lions lack energy in loss to Minnesota – CDTSo much for beating #6 Illinois and charging to the NIT. The cagers dropped one to Minnesota at home last night.
