    The NCAA Hockey bracket is out--Penn State vs. DU on Saturday at 7 PM!

    Fair enough (although that week of practice didn't exactly hurt their first game performance vs. Union). I would buy that PSU was wide eyed early on against DU in falling behind 0-2 though. It reminded me of our earlier first D1 games with Minnesota, but they responded well in getting back...

    The NCAA Hockey bracket is out--Penn State vs. DU on Saturday at 7 PM!

    Not sure what Gadowsky is getting at with the "we were not us" against Denver last year. They were a better team, period. I think we held our own for most of the game but came apart a bit late in the 2nd when DU broke open a 2-3 game and made it 2-5 with quick goals. We were fast and loose...

    Ovechkin:. All stats, no rings, just like Marino

    Have to step back and look at big picture of the Caps in the Ovie era. You could not possibly ask for one player to do more than what he has. The issue has largely been the construction of the roster around him and how that has meshed with a coaching system. It's been good and often...

    OT: Northern VA questions...

    Lived in Arlington past 15 years and three years prior in Falls Church. Off top of my head - Positives: - Very vibrant area and may be the biggest melting pot of the country right now in that very few people that live here are from here. - Never run out of things to do. From county parks...

    Pens-Flyers

    Who has won two Cups and two Conn Smythe trophies since the teams last met in the playoffs? Please remind us....and you think Sid loses an ounce of sleep over what happened 5 years ago given what he and his team has accomplished since? Pens had 4 power plays last night. Flyers had...

    Blacknall

    Blacknall was a great player but seemed to have trouble distinguishing himself among a crowded WR corps. Some of this was probably self inflicted with his inability to capitalize on a career spotlight game vs. Wisconsin in Indy by getting suspended for the Rose Bowl and effectively digging...

    Is there any chance we get an at large bid next Sunday??

    If the committee were allowed to use the "eye test" more, I think we'd have a better chance, but based on the criteria set forth with the on paper resumes, records vs. the quadrants and schedule strength, there just isn't enough meat on the bone for PSU to make a case if looking across the bubble.

    Dave Joyner: PSU athletics savior

    This is like a man bragging about the brand new house he built after he got away with arson that burned down his old mansion.

    Interesting link on PSU's chances of making NCAA Tourney

    2-1 down the stretch still sets them up for a pretty good B1G run, so more reason to feel good. Unless I'm missing something, that gives PSU a low seed tournament matchup after a bye, and then Nebraska instead of OSU, MSU or Purdue....and UNL could be a tournament lock by the time that game occurs.

    WINTER. OLYMPICS.

    Probably time for a NHL rant and what their absence has done to the quality of the hockey tournament. Nothing wrong with seeing some of these journeymen get a chance to fulfill a lifetime dream but that OT loss to Slovenia should be generating all hell at the NHL front office. This is...

    TV Alert PSU at Illinois on BTN tonight at 7. Another winnable game if they

    Would have loved to have seen where this team would be at if Reaves had not run into the academic issue. Can't be understated the influence he has when in the lineup and I'm thinking we're no worse than 20-6 right now if he didn't miss time. It is what it is though and have to give credit...

    2018 Recruiting Thread

    Someone should tell Lind it's hard to set your players up for life if they're not graduating. OSU is dead last in the conference in graduation rate. PSU is 3rd behind NW and Nebraska. Then have Walker talk to John Reid after his internship with Intel or pull up the Wall Street Journal's...

    Curious quote about Tom Izzo

    I think you can bank on Izzo getting several warnings from university council this past week about how he answers questions and to steer clear of any specifics. He's in a no win situation at the podium. Try to be reasonable and he'll end up sounding insensitive. Deflect and he'll be seen as...

    NHL ASG is a J-O-K-E!

    Baseball may be the only sport that can duplicate the real game product in an all star game. NHL has done a good job of thinking outside the box and at least trying to make the ASG as entertaining as possible. The 3 on 3 tournament was dynamite when it debuted in Nashville...but as the...

    Chambers is still the right coach

    Just some random thoughts.... - I've been a Chambers supporter but after the NW game I had the first notion that it may just not be meant to be for him at PSU. When a coach loses the team it's a very big problem and although I didn't actually watch that game, that was my biggest fear in the...

    Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go! -- Game Thread

    My lack of faith in this team under Tomlin has me wanting the Pats to lose more than the Steelers winning this game....and I think the Jags have a much better chance with that D to go into Foxboro and take NE down.

    PSU men's basketball should hire Tom Crean

    I'm still a Chambers fan and to be quite candid, there is no realistic coaching possibility out there that 1) buys into what the school is about in terms of academics and athletics and 2) has the energy to recruit the school's mission and ties to the areas that PSU needs in order to have a...

    Live from the Peg: rudedude & MaconNitt

    I would classify the Sturtz hit as careless but unintentionally. OSU defender changes direction after Sturtz commits to make a hit. If he doesn't go down (and no need to doubt he's in pain), its probably not even drawing a minor penalty). Hope the OSU player is ok The natural reflex...

    PSU vs OSU in mens ice hockey

    Pretty big win as far as regular season games go. OSU is solid this year and top 10 for a reason.....and save for Minnesota they've always seemed to present the most difficult matchups for PSU. Have to be really happy with the outcome but know will have to play a lot better tomorrow. We were...

    Pitt fans say the darndest things

    ...and the funny thing is they look to be pretty inept at negative recruiting too unless they've talked half their recruits out of the MAC.
