Overheard on Twitter: Darren Rovell Loses a Bet FTK

Darren Rovell, a well known ESPN business reporter who is rather easy to mock for his ridiculous Twitter polls, is a proud Northwestern grad. Like any important man, Rovell has a parody Twitter account (@notdrovell), who just happens to be an equally proud Penn State grad.

Penn State beat Northwestern, Darren Rovell looks foolish, and 263,000 followers are exposed to THON for a day. All is right in the world.
