Small Victory and Big Defeat for PSU
Posted on 2 Sep 2012 by Stephanie Geosits.
Penn State took the field shortly before noon on Saturday to thunderous applause in their season opener at Beaver Stadium vs. Ohio. To say it was emotional is an understatement; close to 100 thousand fans came out to show they care – care about this team, their university and all those caught in the disaster that is Jerry Sandusky and his horrible acts. Saturday was about playing football...

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...

Joe Might Go – And Soon
Posted on 8 Nov 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
With the cancelling of Joe Paterno's weekly press conference on Tuesday, the New York Times reported that PSU is planning his exit in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky arrest on multiple counts of molesting children. The Nittany Lions are the only undefeated team in the Big Ten and they host Nebraska on Saturday, but really, no one cares. In what was looking to be a redemptive season for JoePa ...

PSU’s Good, Bad and Ugly
Posted on 5 Nov 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
First the good news – PSU (8-1, 5-0) beat Illinois 10-7 last week in the waning moments of the game to somehow head into this bye week as the only unbeaten in the Big Ten in conference play. The Nittany Lions' only loss of the year was to Alabama – not too shabby if you haven't watched the games. Derek Moye came back unexpectedly from a foot injury to help lead Penn State to victo...

PSU Looks for Payback Vs. Illinois
Posted on 27 Oct 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
Illinois spoiled Penn State's Homecoming last year, and the Nittany Lions would love to avenge that loss. PSU (7-1, 4-0) hosts the Illini (6-2, 2-2) after beating Northwestern 34-24. Penn State is the only undefeated team in the Leaders Division. Illinois is coming off two losses to Ohio State (17-7) and Purdue (21-14). The Nittany Lions dispensed with the Boilermakers 23-18 two games ago and f...

PSU Heads to Northwestern
Posted on 19 Oct 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
Miraculously, Penn State has managed to compile a 6-1 record thus far, with its only loss coming against Alabama. It is somewhat unexpected considering the Nittany Lions lost their star receiver (Derek Moye) and are still doing the Quarterback Shuffle ™ more than halfway into the season, however, when you look at their opponents, only the Crimson Tide are anywhere to be seen in the Top 25...

Four QBs Slated for Purdue at PSU
Posted on 14 Oct 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
The Paternos have found a kindred spirit in Boilermakers Head Coach Danny Hope. Purdue will play two quarterbacks, just as Penn State will, in Saturday's matchup. The Nittany Lions have eked out a 5-1 record so far this season while the Boilermakers come to Happy Valley 3-2 with losses to Rice and Notre Dame. Leading PSU receiver Derek Moye broke a bone in his foot this week in his apartmen...

PSU Opens Big 10 Season in Indy
Posted on 30 Sep 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
Joe Paterno's 700th game on staff at Penn State will be spent in Indiana as the 3-1 Nittany Lions take on the 1-3 Hoosiers in the Big 10 opener. PSU won last year's contest at FedEx Field and hold a 14-0 overall series advantage. After beating Easter Michigan last week, 34-6, the Nittany Lions press on with their two QBs, Matt McGloin (34-54, 421 yds, 3 TD, 0 INT) and Rob Bolden (33-71, 388 yds...

No QB? No Problem
Posted on 20 Sep 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
For the coach of a 1-1 team, which came very close to starting out 0-2, Joe Paterno is unconcerned. The Nittany Lions' problems are multi-faceted, but just to recap: 2 Quarterbacks – Paternos Joe and Jay have yet to declare either Matt McGloin or Rob Bolden THE QB. Instead, they alternate between the two, seemingly with no rhyme or reason, not allowing either one to get in a rhythm nor le...

Three Turnovers Seal PSU’s Fate
Posted on 12 Sep 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
Sure, the Nittany Lions weren't necessarily expected to win on Saturday vs. third-ranked Alabama, but the way they played in the 27-11 loss was particularly disturbing. If you hand the ball over three times to *any* team you might as well just concede defeat. Enough said. Secondly, the two QB garbage needs to end. You can't be a little bit pregnant and you can't have more than one starting quar...

Bring on Alabama
Posted on 5 Sep 2011 by Stephanie Geosits.
After a fairly routine 41-7 win over Indiana State, the Nittany Lions get to the first “meat” of the season. The Crimson Tide rolls into Happy Valley on Saturday with high hopes. They're beatable, but PSU needs to pull a few things together. While the offense cruised against the Sycamores, you can bet that Alabama's D is a million times better. The line gave up three sacks, but Sila...
