Backup QB Steven Bench isn't happy with either of the candidates running for President, so he's taking matters into his own hands.
Penn State is a special place before primetime home football games. The mental buildup leading up to a White Out is unlike anything I've experienced, and this last week was no different with a record-setting number of Nittanyville campers and a game day atmosphere that only a WhiteOut could induce. Although the score didn't go the way I would have liked, here's my observations from this weekend's game.
Believe me, I'm just as excited about this game as anybody could be. I'm a senior, camping out at Nittanyville for the 20th time, and I plan on painting my face, as always. Something else I always do? Carry with me a sense of sportsmanship.
Just six weeks ago, I was one of the biggest National Football League fans that you would ever meet. There was nothing that excited me more than the prospect of a new football season. I bled green and white as a die-hard New York Jets fan. But over the course of the last six weeks, a revamped Penn State football team led by Bill O'Brien has transformed into a huge college football fan.
This weekend was one for the history books: Football earned its first win over a ranked team under Bill O’Brien and the now-NCAA women’s hockey team recorded both its first win and loss ever as a varsity team. Elsewhere in Penn State athletics, men’s soccer tied Michigan at Ann Arbor and field hockey and women’s soccer picked up wins at home, while women’s volleyball knocked off yet another two teams.
The soundtrack at Beaver Stadium is no better this year than during the reign of Guido D'Elia. Some changes had been made, but for one writer, the new music being played at Penn State football games is striking the wrong chord.
