If nothing else comes out of 2020, the record will always show that an 0-5 Penn State squad rolled into Ann Arbor, Michigan, and promptly defeated our old nemesis Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines. Now, how’s that for getting back on track in the...
Good grief. This season stinks. So many things about this year are unprecedented and not in a good way. In all of Penn State history we’ve never gone 0-5. It’s a false comparison of course, because this year is not like any other year and...
Well, it wasn’t the outcome any of us wanted. I would rather be here today talking about a shiny new W rather than some of the signs of life we all witnessed in the second half of last Saturday’s game, but it is what it...
