Shredding the Buckeyes

Keep your head up, you’ve got a bright future ahead of you

In a game like this, there aren’t too many glamorous plays. No 70 yard bombs for touchdowns, no 50 yard halfback runs for touchdowns, and no wide outs running roughshod over defenses. This is …

Absorbing the shots

What a defensive battle. Traditional Big Ten football at its finest. No turnovers until late in the fourth, 0 penalties on Penn State, grind-it-out, smashmouth football. Call me a traditionalist, but I love games like the one that played out this past saturday. Add that …

I just got back a day ago from my trip up to Columbus for the game and I’ll have details on that later in the week. Needless to say other than a run in with law enforcement in the parking lots (open container laws?!?! What …

Notes from a Rout: 46-17 Penn State
October 18, 2008 – 10:38 pm | View Comments

It’s great to finally get the Michigan monkey off our backs, but who wasn’t holding their heads, and cursing when Michigan got out to an early 10-0 lead.  When Michigan led 17-7 and the uber-reliable Kevin Kelly missed a 45 yarder.  But Penn State got …
