McSorley Sets Penn State TD Record

The blustery Homecoming weather at St. Joe Memorial Stadium at Beaver kept all but the hardiest students in their dorms. This was apparent by the empty student section in the top corner of the east stands. The cold weather must have frozen delicate little fingers, toes, and brains on the field, too, in the first quarter, but the #14 Nittany Lions (8-2, 5-2 Big Ten) eventually shook off their morning frost and went on to prevail over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (4-6, 3-4 Big Ten), 35-6.

#14 Penn State (7-2, 4-2 Big Ten) hosts the unranked Rutgers Scarlet Knights (4-5, 3-3 Big Ten) at St. Joe Stadium at Beaver on Saturday at high noon. (It’s hard to get high by noon, but when I was at PSU, we were high from the night before. But I digress.) [Read more…]

Whodat Turkey?

The Nittany Turkey is a retired techno-geek who thinks he knows something about Penn State football and everything else in the world. If there's a topic, we have an opinion on it, and you know what "they" say about opinions!
