The Family Clothesline on East College Avenue in State College, PA, is taking a jab at Ohio State’s Jim Tressel. Upon Tressel receiving national attention for his lack of veracity regarding the Ohio State five, the Family Clothesline wanted to cash-in with the release of a new t-shirt aimed at Tressel. The retail store designed a t-shirt that showcased Joe Paterno as a “Legends” and Jim Tressel as a “Liars.” The t-shirt features a picture of JoePa’s trademark Coke-bottle...
Word on the street is Pitt found its new head coach to replace the abruptly fired Mike Haywood with the hiring of Penn State staple and defensive coordinator Tom Bradley. Though neither Pitt nor Penn State confirmed the move, sources close to the team say it’s a done deal. Two Penn State players received text messages from Bradley that suggested he was offered the job and will ultimately take it once the contractual terms are ironed out. Bradley was...
Looking back before last season, the Big 10 failed miserably come post-season play. However, this season the Big 10 is looking very strong despite struggles from yester-year. On Tuesday, Iowa took down #12 Missouri 27-24 in the Insight Bowl and on Wednesday Illinois, surprising to some, dominated Baylor 38-14 in the Texas Bowl. The conference is starting to show that it is finally out of its slump and returning back to elite status. To the true fan, this turn-around...
Beaver Stadium was quieter than Pattee Library during final exam week as Northwestern jumped out early for a 21-0 lead. However, the tide turned for Penn State with the Nittany Lions driving over 90 yards for a TD in the final seconds of the half to cut the lead to 21-7. Joe Paterno’s halftime pep talk and quest to reach 400 victories was more than enough inspiration for his players to come out storming in the second half. The...
There are many true freshman making an impact on the gridiron for the Nittany Lions. However, one former true freshman is no longer welcomed on the Beaver Stadium sidelines. Nittany Lion mascot and gymnast Clint Gyory, the first true freshman to win the rights to be the Nittany Lion mascot, has been permanently relieved of his mascot duties and stripped from his scholarship. Gyroy’s issues first became public when he was issued citations in August 2010 for underage drinking, public drunkenness,...
Halloween is being celebrated a little earlier in State College, Pennsylvania. As Penn State is gearing up for the Michigan Wolverines, the coaching staff provided scout-team QB/WR Evan Lewis with some fake long dreads to help further mimic and simulate Michigan QB Denard Robinson. Some PSU players got a chuckle out of Lewis’s new hair-do, but after watching some videotape and Lewis in action, the defense is not laughing one bit at Robinson’s shiftiness and blazing speed. Robinson leads...
QB Denard Robinson, who sprained his right throwing shoulder during a 38-28 loss to Iowa this Saturday, is expected to be healthy for the Wolverines when they face Penn State on October 30th. Coach Rich Rodriguez confirmed that there is no QB controversy and Robinson is still the starter and will play if healthy. For Michigan fans, this may not be a good thing with Michigan 0-2 in conference play. When the shifty Robinson went down early in the 3rd...
The first half of the season has been a blink of an eye for most programs; however, it has been a drawn-out yawner for Nittany Lions fans. With a sputtering offense (ranked 107th in scoring) and virtually no ground game (ranked 85th in rushing), the Nittany Lions are welcoming a much needed bye week. After opening the first half of the season with a disappointing 3-3 record and posting its first consecutive 20 point losses since the 1980’s, there...
