    Pregame Predictor: Friday Night Lights

    | Posted by Eric Herrold

    And now we interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you an event that our eyes haven’t in several decades: Friday Night Lights, Penn State-style. I know, I know, the concept is just as strange to me as it is...

    Kent State. Penn State. The two team names sound so alike that out of desperation to discuss the game we started referring to the teams as “us” and “them” in our house. A bit frustrating to talk about, but certainly...

    Yesterday afternoon I saw a glow. A twinkle in someone’s eyes we rarely see, even if he vehemently denies it. As I watched James Franklin partake in his post-game press conference, he was trying to be “all business” but trust...

    I’m just going to come out and be frank about this folks, Round 3 in Pittsburgh scares the bejeezers out of me. Long before App State rolled into Happy Valley and almost crushed another giant, I’ve been giving this one...

    James Franklin started his postgame press conference by remarking “I started the game at 46 years old and ended it at 51.” I think we all lost a few years on this win. Or, at the least gained a few...

    First things first, hats off to App State. There’s a reason they have gained the nickname ‘Giant Killers' over the years and on September 1st 2018, we nearly became their latest victim. They rolled into Happy Valley with reckless abandon...
