I have not blogged in the last two weeks since I wrote my tirade about Penn State’s handling of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. My reaction has gone to shock, anger, numbness to increasing ambivalence about my university and its football team. Sure, I have watched the Nittany Lions (the Nebraska game a day later) and [...]
Adam Collyer of Black Shoe Diaries writes the questions because bloggers don’t take bye weeks…
BSD: The Nittany Lions now sit at #15 in the polls, having won 7 straight. Think back to the morning of September 3rd. What were your expectations for this team? Are they were you thought they would be [...]
Bolden’s mom: He’d be content as backup – Nittany Extra, Reading Eagle
A bit of bombshell came out last night in the link above — Rob Bolden’s mother said he would be okay with being a backup right now. Now, this is not from Bolden himself, but his mother is as good a source as any [...]
In the last 3 minutes of the Penn State Nittany Lions victory over the Illinois Fighting Illini, I noted that I feel my heart racing and wondered aloud what my heart-rate was then. I had not expected to actually measure it, but there just happened to be tools where I watching the game, so there [...]
This week’s questions from Adam Collyer at Black Shoe Diaries
BSD: The “Bend-But-Don’t-Break” defense is supposed to prevent the big play and force the opposition to put together a long, mistake-free drive if it wants to score. Last week against Purdue, the Nittany Lion defense did the opposite, giving up multiple plays of 20 yards [...]
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, [...]
After leading the Penn State Nittany Lions 90 yards down the field, QB Matt McGloin threw an interception in the end zone late in the third quarter. Iowa took over at the 20 yard line and I thought to myself, “this is where the Hawkeyes turn it around and come back to beat Penn State.” [...]
Week 5 of Blue White Roundtable — Isn’t it weird that the Nittany Lions are traveling to play the Hoosiers, but not going to suburban Maryland to play the game? I was all ready to get on the Blue Line to FedEx Field.
BSD: Is it worth starting Matt McGloin this week at QB? Will [...]
Wow, we’re already 1/3 of the way done with Blue White Roundtable for the season. Football season moves faster than any other season. Black Shoe Diaries Adam Collyer’s weekly questions are below:
BSD: Penn State was 6-17 on third down against Temple on Saturday. What can the team do to fix that? Is it [...]
PHILADELPHIA — Prior to kickoff yesterday, the Temple Owls played the theme from “Rocky” a movie about an underdog Philadelphia boxer who goes the distance against the heavyweight champion but loses.
Temple followed that script yesterday — they went the distance, but lost in the end.
Penn State traveled to the city of brotherly love for its [...]
