DOMINATE THE STATE
Not long ago, the possibility of Penn State’s trip to Ohio State would be a #1 vs. #2 match-up seemed likely – perhaps inevitable. However, what was forecasted as the biggest game of the regular season has lost its luster thanks to the Nittany Lions 0-4 start in Big Ten play. The Buckeyes will be […]
No. 5 Penn State completed the sweep of Stonehill with a 4-2 win on Saturday night. Shea Van Olm scored his first goal of the season to give the Nittany Lions an insurance tally in the third period. Penn State will head to Columbus to start conference play next week with a 7-1 record and […]
Penn State is (mercifully) off this weekend, but there’s a whole bunch of football going on. Hang out with us while we watch all day!
JJ Wiebusch deflected home a shot by Gavin McKenna in the final minute of regulation to lift No. 5 Penn State to a 3-2 win over Stonehill on Friday night. Penn State once again struggled with a less talented team on home ice, potentially a bad sign of things to come in Big Ten play, […]
Now that Penn State’s season is down the toilet, we can focus all our energy in hating the other 17 teams in the conference! There’s always a silver lining! [Ed.

(#8)Ole Miss at (#13)Oklahoma Noon, ABC Two one-loss teams fighting for survival in a crowded SEC field. Both teams are coming off disappointing losses – who is ready to bounce back? John Mateer hasn’t quite been himself since returning from injury, and a win against Ole Miss could set up the Sooners for an exciting […]
Alright folks, time for Yours Truly’s first-ever set of mailbag answers! Big thanks to everyone who posted in the comments thread of our post earlier this week, as this segment wouldn’t be possible without you.

No. 5 Penn State will finish off its six-game homestand with a pair of games against Stonehill this weekend. The Skyhawks are in their third season as a Division I program. With the Big Ten opener against Ohio State looming, this is the Nittany Lions’ last chance to iron out the wrinkles before the grind […]
1. If there’s one thing about me, it’s that I *LOVE* a coaching search. The rumors, the searching of coaches, the flight trackers — it’s what makes college sports great. 2. People forget I connected the dots on Mike Rhoades probably being the hire for Penn State. 3. The most important thing during all of […]
Women’s Volleyball (11-7) The women’s volleyball team dropped a hard-fought five-set match to Washington on Friday night. Gillian Grimes had 24 digs in the match for the Nittany Lions, but a slow start for the offense allowed the Huskies to build a two-set lead and force Penn State to play from behind. Penn State forced […]
Another Vintage Miami Performance The ‘Canes had me fooled. I wasn’t a believer heading into the season, but watching them dominate both lines of scrimmage had me thinking they were the clear class of the ACC. That unraveled on Friday night, as Miami’s tackles struggled to protect Carson Beck all night against Louisville. The Cardinals […]

With 5 games left in his collegiate career (I don’t dare say 6 with a bowl game in thrown in), Kaytron Allen sits in third place on the all-time leading rushers list with 3,489 yards to his name. In second place is Saquon Barkley at 3,843 yards, and in first place is Evan Royster with […]
Well. The herd continues to thin out. But, Penn State football still has a decent chunk of recruits committed to its 2026 class. This is, obviously, subject to change when a new head coach comes to town. As of now, it’s still a top-20 class in the country. Small wins. Four-star running back Messiah Mickens […]

Just how dominant has Charlie Cerrato been for Penn State hockey? Penn State’s second line has been college hockey’s most dominant force this season.

Hello there and welcome to the Big Ten Power Rankings! Each week we’ll rank how the teams across the conference are playing, in the hopes of seeing just who is a contender, and who is a pretender over the course of the season. The rules are few, but resolute: Teams are ranked by how they’re […]
Penn State is 3-4, and is staring 3-6 in the face with the #1 and #2 teams in the nation coming up in the next few weeks. After that, they’d have to go 3-0 in the last 3 weeks to make a bowl, which is possible, but given how things have gone the last month, […]
We head into week two of what’s expected to be around a two month coaching search, and with last week’s post having over 1,500 comments, it felt right to start a new post. I have some news and notes on new and old candidates below, but please use this post as your “forum” for the […]
