A smashing success! 156 Unique Visitors graced us here at NittanyWhiteOut.com for hosting the Blue and White roundtable. I only hope we can sustain such success and people will comment a bit more. But I’m extremely thrilled nonetheless.

Back to our usual programing.

Tell me the warning signs aren’t there. Penn State has no proven quarterback and our suspect defense that let us down in the big games last year loses critical linebacker and leader Sean Lee. Yet, the Big Ten announces that Penn State will be involved in 4 of the 5 prime time contests for next year. Paranoid much? The Big Ten and ESPN is obviously sensing the end of the line is near for Joe Paterno.

Sept. 27 – Illinois at PENN STATE, 8 p.m. ET, ABC, ESPN or ESPN2

Oct. 4 – Ohio State at Wisconsin, 7 p.m. CT, ABC, ESPN or ESPN2

Oct. 11 – PENN STATE at Wisconsin, 7 p.m. CT, ESPN or ESPN2

Oct. 18 – Michigan at PENN STATE, 4:30 p.m. ET, ESPN or ESPN2

Oct. 25 – PENN STATE at Ohio State, 8 p.m. ET, ABC, ESPN or ESPN2

That’s 4 out of 5 consecutive weekends that Penn State will be playing in night games. 3 night games in a row involving @ Wisconsin, Michigan and @ Ohio State. Given our penchant for playing like a high school team when we’re away from Beaver Stadium, this will not bode well for us.

A night game involving Illinois should be interesting as well. I really doubt this will be as competitive as last year given the fact that Illinois will not be overlooked, but it will be fun to dominate the Illini and show them who’s boss again.
