    I’m taking this 21-7, under the lights, white-out-energy win with a little slice of humble pie. We don’t need to tear anybody down to build ourselves up. Let our success with honor stand for itself. Our White Out energy is truly unrivaled. We are Penn State!

    All in all, the win was more than just a blowout; it allowed the Lions to play many of their backups and prepare for tougher competition later in the season.

    Hi there #firefranklin friends! You guys were quiet last week but you’re back in full force today. I get it. The 34-27 win against Bowling Green was a clunker to be sure. These are the kind of games that get...

    "As James Franklin quipped, “ducks accepted, spirals preferred,” pretty much sums up the game. He was referring to the late second quarter 55 yard bomb in which Allar appeared to launch the ball into space hoping for the best and Omari Evans fought through the contact to make the catch. You could look at the whole game through that comment: a jittery start and some kinks to work out but overall many promising looks for the season ahead."

    Well, this season didn't go as we'd hoped it would and it sure didn’t end as we would have liked: losing 38-25 in the Peach Bowl. Losing the game, losing a chance at becoming the first and only team to...

    What a game! Make all the qualifications you want, we don’t care because we are choosing our focus, and that is how you finish a season strong. Who doesn’t love a 42-0 dismantling of the Spartans and the good ol’...

    One morning in 1995, I walked into my junior high homeroom wearing my white Penn State Rose Bowl Champions sweatshirt. The kid who sat behind me looked up and said, “Penn State stinks.” An undefeated, untied season, and a Rose...

    Sigh. Well, we answered that question: no, it wasn’t enough.  What started with so much promise– the momentum of a great win against Maryland, the second largest Beaver Stadium crowd in history, 110,865 fans, an absolutely gorgeous day, and winning...

    Hey, what can I say? It was a great win against a team we definitely do not love. The score was awesome: five-one, one-five. The Beau and Drew “Philly Special mixed with a Chiefs shovel pass” was awesome. A perfectly...
