    | Posted by Eric Herrold

    If you paid enough attention to James Franklin during his weekly or post-game pressers, you would have seen this one coming. He alluded to it several times since that tussle with Minnesota. One loss doesn’t kill the quest but suffer...

    Saturday’s game puts another tally in the win column and not much more. We certainly didn’t end regular season play with a bang but a win is always a win. I’m not much of a complainer when it comes to...

    I remember that day in Ann Arbor in late September 2016. I remember the scene all too well. Two warriors were called to duty far before their time and to no avail, but we got our first glimpse of Cam...

    Well, that didn’t go as I’d hoped. I’m sure I’m just as bummed as you are today. Losing to Ohio State feels terrible, especially after that third-quarter run. I was losing hope at the start of the second half. Then,...

    "Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks."-JVP That’s the quote Lions Pride posted last Saturday morning. Honestly, I kind of thought it was an odd choice at first. Was confidence really the...

    Sink or swim, that’s it. There really is no in-between this late in the season. We’ve been down this road before, we’ll be down it again, and if we took off those Penn State blue-colored glasses for just a second,...
