Us Penn State bloggers are a tight-knit-crew. Indeed, it's hard to imagine a blogosphere more robust than the one Penn State has, with dozens of news, sports, and comedy blogs all serving our beloved Nittany Lions every day. We write, we edit, and we bitch about each other on Twitter probably more than normal people should. But bloggers tend to be bonded in a fraternity fueled by the passion that drives alternative media everywhere.
And it's all online. Well, until now.
