    If Clemson destroys OSU again ...

    Sideways, huh? This group of graduating seniors (2016-2019) has the highest win total since the 1997 team (1994-1997). So that's the best 4-year stretch of Penn State football in over 20 years. 1-2 in our last 3 bowl games? C'mon - talk about cherry picking low sample sizes. You know who...

    SIAP: PSU drops lawsuit w/ TSM

    At the center of debate was money paid to those who stated they were a victim of Jerry Sandusky -- Second Mile's Founder -- and if the Second Mile Foundation and insurance companies were liable. A settlement was reportedly in the works, but it fell through when Penn State filed a motion to...

    Talking heads

    10/20 Pundits: Penn State isn't that good because they barely beat a clearly overrated and underperforming Michigan team. 10/27 Pundits: In beating Notre Dame, Michigan might be the best 2-loss team in the country. Clearly the most underrated team in the rankings. 10/13 Pundits: Let's see how...

    We have been in this bloody conference for 26 seasons.

    Bitch slapped? Dude...here's a really tough question for you. We've lost twice to Ohio State over the past 2 games by a combined total of HOW MANY points? Hint: use your pinky finger and thumb.

    Conference Champs and Playoff

    Interesting arguments all around, but I'm noticing a few contradictions. Some are arguing that winning your conference automatically qualifies you to make the playoffs, unless you're playing in a minor conference, in which case - sorry, you're not worthy. Which is odd. You could be Boise...

    SIAP: Wendy LTE.

    Wendy is a real person and many people on these boards have met her in real life. Can anybody say that they've honestly met Andrea in real life? Has she EVER been spotted in person in the courtroom? Or is it another fake alias by a professional troll?

    SIAP: Wendy LTE.

    Its probably the same person. Jonathan Jacobs probably has 10 different aliases.

    FC: Stacy Parks Miller: Charges likely in deadly fall at Beta Theta Pi

    All their successes were due to their diligent, hard work. All their failures were somebody else's fault. I can probably start listing examples, but I'd get pretty tired after listing the 8784th name.

    MM never used the term "horseplay" and conveyed it WAS sexual (just NOT to his dad or Dr Dranov)....

    Hey, guys - I forget. Does anybody know what the number for 911??? Don't you just HATE the fact that Joe Paterno met with Mike McQueary on Saturday that he ordered the McQuearys not to call the police on Friday night? I know I do.

    25 best beers of 2016

    Lagunitas Born Yesterday was a limited release in November. I'd look for it next year - it was amazing

    25 best beers of 2016

    Really good list. I've had about 15 of these. The only complaint is that the list is HEAVY on local (philly) beers, but that's probably based on what the author was able to get his hands on.

    7th in final AP poll

    Well - that explains it. A bunch of idiots had us ranked as low as 11th. And some kind folks had us as high as 4th. Need proof to see the bias in the media against Penn State? I wish someone calculated the standard deviation of those votes - I'll bet Penn State had the widest range of...

    7th in final AP poll

    Not sure how they can justify putting Ohio State ahead of Penn State in this poll (Ohio State only had 2 losses, Penn State had three?) when they put USC at #3 with three losses (10-3) when Penn State even had a better record at 11-3. Looks like USC made the biggest leap in the poll - when all...

    Shooting at Ft Lauderdale airport. Multiple casualties *

    I'm not sure what that's going to accomplish...just encourage nutjobs to go to the mall instead?

    OT: Not to take away from Jagr, but here's your Gretzky stat of the day

    Most Assists in one season: 163. Next highest is 135. Next highest from anybody not named Wayne: 114.

    OT: See link below, Phil Ivey beats casino at its own game only to lose in the end..................

    I'm not sure if he cheated or not. For example, counting cards could be considered "cheating" but its not against the rules. Its the casinos fault for having ANY piece of equipment that is anything but completely random. If the roulette table has a bias, for example, and I discover and...

    "Disney Could Sell ESPN, Due To Massive Subscriber Loss"

    I dunno. Marvel and Lucasfilm seem to be working out just fine for Disney.

    I think the argument here is: THEORETICALLY, if Penn State played Washington's schedule and if Washington played Penn State's schedule - would they have the same records? Probably not. Washington might have 3 losses and Penn State might have 1. In which case, strength of schedule doesn't...

    So did the polls. So the committee is pretty much useless...except for flipping #2 with #3 in the "rankings" which means zilch.
