TNL Said: 27-10Actual Score: 31-20 Take away the garbage TD for Indiana at the end of the game and I pretty much nailed that score, but more importantly I said this last week in my preview:Expect Penn State to have a hangover and play poorly, particularly early in the contest, but...

Another ugly week of upsets makes for another ugly poll. No one is separating themselves from the pack, which leaves us with a huddled mass of blah. I painted myself into a corner with Oregon, USC, Ohio State and Penn State so it was settled with the transitive property. I know, I...

Allow me to start this rant off by stating for the record that Ohio State deserves all the credit in the world. They outplayed Penn State in every aspect of the game and I don't want to take anything away from that. Having said that, I'm officially done rooting for this team...

For once it's looking more and more like it's going to be a beautiful day Saturday. Take that with a grain of salt, I got the forecast from not-so-AccuWeather who I'm losing faith in at an alarming rate. At the very least it won't be bitterly cold.

I guess all those rumors about the way Penn State fans treat Ohio State (fans, band, and football players) must have some merit to them. At least that's what OSU offensive tackle Jim Cordle would have you believe. "The term we use around here is black flag city. You obviously...
