While the news of Penn State sophomore quarterback Steven Bench’s decision to transfer caught me off guard at first, it makes more and more sense when you think about it. Bench informed Bill O’Brien of his decision to transfer after O’Brien informed him that junior college transfer Tyler Ferguson will battle incoming freshman Christian Hackenberg, [...]
Here is the column I wrote about Penn State’s spring practice that ran in Friday’s paper. PennState’s spring practice went as well as could be expected. The Nittany Lions, who end the spring with Saturday’s Blue-White game, saw several players answer question marks, were able to let some talented newcomers get in quality work thanks [...]
Pasted below is the column I wrote as a spring practice preview for Monday’s paper. Also, and I know I’ve said this before, I plan on blogging much more through spring practice, which starts Monday, and even during the lulls of the offseason. I might even sneak out to Penn State media day in August. [...]
I really only have one thought to be honest, but I’ve also hyperlinked Graham Spanier’s statement to the charges filed against him yesterday along with a watchdog blog that has some heavy criticism of Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett and his involvement in this mess. Here’s my thought on the Spanier charges, which included perjury, obstruction, endangering [...]
Just like it did seven years ago against the very same opponent, Penn State has the opportunity to show the nation what its football program is all about. When rival Ohio State comes to Happy Valley on Saturday, the Nittany Lions will have the chance to do exactly what they did in 2005. The Nittany [...]
This was in our football pullout in Thursday’s paper, but thought I’d post it here, too. I didn’t write too long because of space, but was able to say just about everything I wanted to. It’s almost time for football — finally. That has to be the thought of every player, coach and anyone involved [...]
Here is the column I wrote that appeared in today’s paper regarding the sanctions levied by the NCAA on Penn State’s football program Monday. So let me get this straight. All Penn State victories are vacated starting in 1998, the same year that Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar decided not to press charges [...]
In just over a month a new era in Penn State football will officially begin. When the Nittany Lions take the practice field for fall camp on Aug. 6, the focus will finally shift to the football field (hopefully) as Bill O’Brien prepares to lead a program looking to rebuild its reputation after the circus [...]
This is my column that will run in Saturday’s paper, but I figured I’d post it here: Put Bill O’Brien’s first major decision as Penn State’s head coach in the win column. Prior to Friday’s Coaches vs. Cancer golf tournament in State College, O’Brien told reporters that he informed the team that senior Matt McGloin [...]
With spring practice under way, the next era of Penn State has officially begun under Bill O’Brien, but off the field it’s been a rough stretch for the Nittany Lions. Redshirt freshman defensive end Shawn Oakman was kicked off the football team late last month, with charges of disorderly conduct, harassment and retail theft filed [...]
