    I don’t know about you, but I had extra pep in my step this week. A victory dance can do that to a fan base and considering how bleak things looked heading into Ann Arbor, Michigan, I’d like to think...

    “Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks.” - Joe Paterno It’s certainly felt like we’ve been locked out this season. I’ve held onto hope each new Saturday, but I have to admit...

    Who would have thought this is where we would be after two weeks of play? Not you, not me, not even the local beat writers, who always seem to follow a Penn State loss with a smirk and an 'I...
