McGloin challenges student section to be on time
Starter or not, you’ve really got to hand it to Matt McGloin. He’s got moxie unseen in these parts since a quarterback by the name of Michael Robinson roamed the sidelines at Beaver Stadium. When he’s not rallying a team from a 21 point deficit or enjoying a friendly game of trashcan football, he’s out there challenging the punctuality of the student section...

Redd leads punishing ground attack against Indiana State
Toughness. That’s the mantra this squad has adopted for the 2011 season. And on a muggy, 85 degree Fall afternoon, the Nittany Lions put on a display of toughness often lacking from last season’s edition before the 96,461 fans who braved the heat to watch Penn State rout the Sycamores of Indiana State by a score of 41-7.
Sure, the game seemed to be nothing more than a...

Breaking News: No Penn State Players Suspended for Taking Impermissible Benefits
Pity we can’t say the same about those Buckeyes. But when has Penn State ever done things the way of Ohio State?
I guess it’s true what they say: Meet the same boss, same as the old boss. Anyone in Columbus afraid that Luke Fickell would run a clean ship, well, your fears appear to be allayed. You’ll still beat Akron–you could do that without your entire...

It’s an institution of the Penn State blogosphere, and sure enough, it’s back for the 2011 season. That’s right, what we’ve got here is a genuine, bona-fide, electrified Blue/White Roundtable. There might be fewer seats, what with Black Shoe Diaries swallowing up half the blogs that used to participate, but we’ll forgive them, since it’s BSD’...

Penn State’s Week One Depth Chart is Kinda Weird
The highlights, in bullet-form:
Offense:
Stephfon Green, who was dismissed then reinstated to the team by Joe Paterno, is nowhere to be seen. Instead, it’s Brandon Beachum and Curtis Dukes backing up starter Silas Redd at running back.
Shawney Kersey, not Devon Smith, Curtis Drake, or Bill Belton, is listed as the third receiver. Smith is listed behind Justin Brown, and the...

Preseason Blogpolling!
I’ve got to get to class, so I can’t give these rankings the full explanations it deserves (and probably needs.) But remember, as always, these rankings are totally fluid from week to week, I won’t hold myself to them moving forward, and expect significant changes even after the first set of games this weekend. But your input is requested and typically heeded, so...

Notes From Media Day
Before I begin, I should probably explain why we haven’t posted in a while. Frankly, it’s just been bad timing. I just got back from a study abroad program in Europe, and Charlie is still working his way back from a late-summer vacation. And let’s be honest, aside from the occasional recruiting commitment, there really hasn’t been much going on in the way...

New Hampshire DB Jake Kiley Commits to Penn State
States like New Hampshire are often overlooked by college recruiters scouring the northeast. With a population of a little over 1.3 million (barely 14.5% of the population of New York City), the talent pool in the Granite State is as shallow as it gets when it comes to Division I football players. College coaches just haven’t found a reason to stop in New Hampshire and thus...

Son of a Football Man: Skyler Mornhinweg Picks Penn State
Remember how, after Pat Devlin’s departure, Penn State was pretty screwed because he was the only scholarship QB they’d signed between 2006 and 2008?
Image credit: MaxPreps
Well, I’m sure the coaching staff does, because they’ve made sure to avoid that same dilemma, securing the commitment of Philadelphia’s own Skyler Mornhinweg.
