One glimmer of light in what has been a rather dark two weeks for the Penn State Football program has come in the mold of Allen Robinson, a 6-3 205 lb. sophomore wide receiver from Orchard Lake, Michigan. He currently ranks fourth in the country with nineteen receptions and twenty first in yards over the first two weeks with 186. These statistics are good enough to put Robinson at the top when it comes to Big Ten receivers. Robinson has certainly evolved from the three star recruit who only received scholarship offers from Buffalo, Minnesota, and Toledo in addition to the Nittany Lions.

During the past few months, I’ve committed myself to a deep cleansing sabbatical of philosophical purification. Suddenly, all of my answers were questioned last week when I learned about the try-outs. I felt I needed to try out and begin my career as a journalist at the Collegian. September, whatever Thursday’s date was last week, at approximately 5:14 p.m, I began to prepare for my try-out. But I didn’t get that interview and I woke up into a nightmare. I didn’t make the cut. That’s when Onward State came to me. At my weakest moment of complete despair, they found a place for me. Sure, I had to re-agree to some ridiculous terms, like deadlines and participating, but they welcomed me with open arms. I shred myself of my Frat-tire, put on a dirty Pacsun v-neck, smoked a Marlboro red and entered the realm of my people.
