Week 8 of the college football season opened with a bang thanks to No. 10 Oklahoma State’s close 13-10 overtime victory over Texas. The day continued with several defensive wars, dominant performances by Penn State and Notre Dame, and close calls in the country’s top conferences. Here is a look at the highs and lows […]

At one point in time, former Penn State kicker Joey Julius was a national sensation. Unfortunately for him, while the public enjoyed playing up his size, it was his weight that forced him out of the game. For every highlight that saw Joey Julius tackle someone, a commentator would make a comment about how he […]

Jon Gruden, man. End column! Fine. We kid, but did Jon Gruden ever get caught up in a moment during Monday Night Football. First, let’s watch the video: “ROLL TIDE” -Jon Gruden pic.twitter.com/uKBFkQ243V — The UMP (@UMPsports) October 10, 2017 Roll tide? That would be great if, you know, the player making the hit went […]

Penn State talent Saquon Barkley was having a rough go of it on Saturday. The key part of that last sentence was the emphasis we should acknowledge in its tense, as he “was” having a rough go of it. He no longer is. Saquon Barkley had -1 rushing yards during the first quarter of the team’s […]

Saquon Barkley is emerging as a Heisman Trophy favorite right in front of our very eyeballs. The electric Penn State talent, who is quickly becoming must-see television, is already making splashes on Saturday. How so? How about returning Penn State’s opening kickoff return for a touchdown? Does that work for you, friend? https://twitter.com/Schutte_B1GFB/status/914212122795667458 Saquon Barkley […]

Penn State will don what it calls Generations of Greatness uniforms this weekend. You can save whatever jokes you want for somewhere else, because if you’re able to put some emotional responses to the wayside, you will realize these are fire. Does that not move your soul to its very foundation? Do the Generations of […]

In what is some of the weirder news coming out of Happy Valley this weekend, Penn State coach James Franklin claims he is not comedian Keegan-Michael Key. Wait… there’s some context to why this is a thing. And no, it isn’t as awful as you likely presumed it to be. Notable New York radio gasbag Mike […]

Penn State somehow managed to defeat Iowa despite the Hawkeyes playing the role of the better team for most of the game. How exactly did this all happen? A walk-off touchdown sure as hell helped. Before discussing the game, let’s look at the walk-off TD together: Just amazing pic.twitter.com/EkKWLaAo4Z — Jack Crosby (@JCrosbyCBS) September 24, […]

People are constantly talking about the NFL’s ratings these days. For whatever the reason, and everyone has their own opinion as to why, the numbers have dipped. For college football, however, that discussion has yet to leak to the sport. That might change now, though that conversion may appear slightly different. The Iowa Hawkeyes are […]

Penn State coach James Franklin is probably coaching the best roster he’s had since leaving Vanderbilt for the program. Despite that, he’s come under some fire recently for (maybe) icing a kicker during a Penn State blowout victory over Georgia State. Oddly enough, James Franklin has heard your gripes and he has decided to deny […]

Penn State coach James Franklin not only led his team to a victory over Pitt this past weekend, but he decided to add some fuel to the in-state rivalry fire. That’s right. Now that Penn State is supposedly good, James Franklin is hurling some shade toward the general direction of the Pittsburgh Panthers. You know, […]

For the second season in a row, the Pittsburgh Panthers will prevent the media from being able to discuss the next game with Panthers players. That next game just so happens to be against Penn State. Head coach Pat Narduzzi will be the sole voice heard from the program this week as the Panthers prepare […]
