September 3, 2010 – | View Comments

With less than two weeks until Penn State takes on Youngstown State, the mixing and matching of the spring and summer is starting to die down. The starting lineup and rotation is mostly set, and we’re taking a look as just how each position stacks …

To the East Side, to a deluxe apartment in the sky

Well, Penn State just keeps on taking care of business, and we got some help this week.  With Texas beating Oklahoma, Oklahoma State squeaking past Mizzou, and Florida taking care of business against LSU, Penn …

Saturday, October 11th (8:00pm) Camp Randall

Wow!  I fully expected Penn State to win this one, maybe by a couple of scores, but definitely not by 41 points.  For comparison, that’s one point less than our margins of victory against Temple …

There Goes our Strength of Schedule…

Early games have not been kind to PSU opponents:
Illinois fell to Minneosta in a surprisingly compelling game, 27-20.  So much for them running the table.  Damn it Illini, I put my neck out on the line for you, rank you at #16, and you lose …

Wisconsin Band to play Saturday
October 9, 2008 – 7:53 pm | View Comments

Hat tip to the always phenomenal Adam Rittenberg.
We can only hope they’ve learned the Badger Badger Badger song.
This is probably more symbolic than anything.  It obviously doesn’t affect the play on the field, but if Wisconsin was really concerned with the hazing they’d have acted …

Blue-White Roundtable: Badger Badger Badger Edition
October 9, 2008 – 11:07 am | View Comments

Thanks to Tangled Up in White and Blue for this week’s round of questions.  Penn State gears up for it’s most important game of the year so far this Saturday against Wisconsin, and I can’t wait.

NittanyWhiteOut’s Top 25

Okay, guys and gals, we here at NittanyWhiteOut are completely unassociated with the blogpoll (seriously, congrats for joining forces with CBS), but I’ve always wanted to put out my personal rankings and have someone read them.  I also don’t think that having preseason rankings mean …

Camp Randall does not hold a candle to Beaver Stadium
October 4, 2008 – 10:43 pm | View Comments

If anyone tries to tell me that the atmosphere at Camp Randall rivals Penn State’s and their White Outs, I will smack them over the head with a bedpan. Watching the game now, the place is silent except on third downs or big offensive plays.
I’m …

Penn State Lands Two Verbals

Penn State Lands Two Verbals

Penn State’s victory over Illinois and jump to #6 in the polls did more than just excite a fanbase.  It landed two pledges from recruits who liked what they saw from the Nittany Lions.  In the past couple days, LB Glenn Carson and WR Devon …

Shredding the Illini: Play of the Game

You almost had to feel a little sorry for the Illini having been subjected to the punishing Penn State attack on Saturday. Once again the rest of the country swooned over Penn State’s White House (White Out! White Out! Sue me twice Coyotes!) while Lion …
