Perspective on Penn State’s dominance this season:
Nebraska (12) + Wyoming (7) = 19 team points scored against PSU.
Every other opponent combined = just 20 total points.
That includes:
Oklahoma
Drexel
Lehigh
North Dakota State
Stanford
Rutgers
Iowa
Northwestern
Indiana
Maryland
Michigan
Ohio State
The Nittany Lions totaled 579 team points.
Absolute separation.
He didn’t just play for one half. He played for the entire 60 minutes. Tacked on a couple huge sacks in the process, too.
In a game where so many people opted out on both sides, Dani Dennis-Sutton left it all on the field. Much respect👏
If we never win a national championship in my lifetime, I will see this play in my eyelids when it’s all fading to black.
At least I never leaked audio from my teammates who trusted me. And you should hear some of the shit Mike the Mailman says off the air! @ObligatoryPSU
Pat Kraft this week:
-whiffed on Sitake
-fans lost faith
-zeroed in on Campbell
-audio leak to hurt him
-audio leak backfired and restored love, faith and passion
-secured Campbell
-secured Terry Smith
-secured 30 million NIL and 17 million for coaches and staff
WE ARE 🦁🦁🦁
Nick Singleton: Penn State all-time touchdown leader

A special duo

My father once told me the secret to a happy marriage.
“Stay out of the kitchen. Let her handle the holidays.”
I was 19. He was in his recliner.
My mother was cooking for 14 people.
She’d been up since 5 AM.
He’d been up since the football pregame.
I didn’t think anything of it.
That’s just how it was.
Fast forward 20 years.
I’m in the recliner.
My wife is in the kitchen.
She’s been up since 5 AM.
I’ve been up since the pregame.
My daughter walks by and I see her watching.
Not the TV.
Her mother.
Then me.
Then her mother again.
That’s when it hit me:
She’s taking notes.
My father taught me that holidays were for men to rest and women to work.
He didn’t say it.
He showed it.
Every Thanksgiving.
Every Christmas.
Every Easter.
The recliner passed from him to me like an inheritance I never asked for.
This morning I woke up at 4 AM.
Not for content.
For the turkey.
My wife found me in the kitchen at 6.
She didn’t say anything.
She just stood there.
Then she cried.
Your kids are taking notes.
Not on what you say.
On where you sit.
The recliner is an inheritance.
Be the generation that stands up.
Brother let’s not get this twisted. He played his role, but he did not storm the beaches. He was much needed reinforcements. The trajectory defining wars were fought in 2012-2013. Full stop.
