Remembering JoePa
Posted on 26 Jan 2012 by Stephanie Geosits.
As a girl growing up in North East Pennsylvania, I can't remember a time when I didn't know who Joe Paterno was. He was like a member of the family, one of my childhood heroes and the person I cited when people spouted about college sports being corrupt and coaches being evil exploiters of athletes. He was JoePa. He lived in a house with Sue and his kids on campus. You could walk by on game day...

O’Brien Moves Into House that JoePa Built
Posted on 12 Jan 2012 by Stephanie Geosits.
With the hiring of Patriots' offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien as Head Coach of the Nittany Lions, the Paterno Era has officially ended. Gone are most (but not all) of the assistant coaches from Joe's staff including his son JayPa, who probably wouldn't have been coaching at a school like PSU if not for his dad. No one could have imagined the circumstances that led to Joe Paterno's demise as h...

A Season in Review: Michigan Football
Posted on 9 Jan 2012 by Casey Phillips.
The Michigan Wolverines’ 2011 football team far exceeded the expectations of even the most optimistic fans, myself included. The general consensus amongst most analysts was a likely 8-4 regular season record with a possibility for 9 wins if the transition from the spread to the more pro-oriented offense, run by Al Borges, went better than expected. Not only were the Wolverines able to finis...

Sugar Bowl Recap–Hokies Lose the Game
Posted on 4 Jan 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
For Virginia Tech fans last night's Sugar Bowl loss will sting for a while. In a game that went back and forth with the lead changing hands while players and coaches matched each other step for step, the Hokies consistently put themselves in losing situations. Ultimately paying for it in the end, losing 23-20 in OT. I'll try to make it simple. Looking at the statistics from last nights...

Sugar Bowl: VT vs. Michigan—For the BCS Decreed
Posted on 3 Jan 2012 by Frank Sullivan.
I know, okay? I know no one wanted these two teams in this game. Virginia Tech lost to Clemson, twice! They didn't win their conference or win any big, marquee games this season. They fell backwards into the millions of dollars that come from a BCS Bowl bid, so don't expect them to apologize for being selected; it's not their fault, blame the damn BCS. Michigan also didn't win their con...

This marks the 30th consecutive year that the Seminoles have been invited to a bowl game, clearly a historic mark for their university athletics.
