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 …

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 …

Like everything worth doing, we here at Penn State adopt it and do it better. (cough, White Out, cough) So it was only time before we here at NittanyWhiteOut were given the chance to host the weekly Big Ten Bloggers Roundtable. We have the following …

Yeah, I’m playing off that cheezy Penn State commercial.
Since Charlie was generous enough to provide the questions for this week’s Big Ten Blogger’s Roundtable, let’s go to the answers, as given to you by me.  It’s a tag team effort from the folks at NittanyWhiteOut …

Me and Charlie have both been really busy this week, but for the sake of transparency, I’ll give you my Week 9 ballot.

No, not in presidential polling.  That would be scary.  Actually, it’s in ESPN’s INTERACTIVE TUESDAY! poll, asking fans who’s going to win the Rustbelt Rumble on Saturday.  Polling results showed PSU in the lead, by a 12% margin.  Let’s go to the map:

Northwestern returns to the top 25 entering at #24 in …
