Just an observation here, now, and then I’ll move on — also, I raise no point about the commentators’ support from this. But have you noticed that it’s hip to support the Troops? The Fox guys are in Afghanistan today. They’ve been running tributes all day — and that’s great, really. I just question the […]

Got yours yet?

Story here.
Leafs fall to Pens, 5-2.

Detroit. Steelers win, 28-20.

Penn State 52, E. Illinois 3.

There were the two Penn State victories, hockey and football. In the season opener, the Pens rocked the Rangers. On Saturday night, the Pens played the Islanders, and won in a shootout 4-3. Tavares is the man to watch, Islander or no. And where was Doug Weight?
The Steelers haven’t started the season well, with […]

The Icers played the Townson Tigers yesterday afternoon, the first Saturday home game of the season. Penn State has almost a whole new team, and there’s a rising star: Dominic Marrone, a freshman, who scored (at least) two goals in yesterday afternoon’s game, and one in Friday night’s game. I say “at least two […]

Today’s the Iowa game, and State College wants blood for last year. The traffic is going to be insane, so we’d better do errands now. At least after today, this ad won’t be running constantly on the local channels.

From Pennsblog. “British hockey fans avoid knowing the score of 2009 game 7 so they can watch a rebroadcast at the Maple Leaf Pub in London, UK.” One is wearing a Steelers jersey.

That’s how many Terrible Towels were waving at the NFL season opener at Heinz last night. The Steelers canned the Titans 13-10 in an overtime game. Gee, this sounds familiar.

Writeup in the local rag. These fans came all the way from Chihuahua to wave the Towel.

Steelers’ stars barely sweat, beat Panthers 21-10

I was just thinking the NFL and NHL needed to get together and offer something like this.

Order yours here.

That’s how many screaming Penguins fans lined the Pittsburgh streets yesterday for the parade. It’s also 25,000 more than lined the same streets for the Steelers Super Bowl win.
Throw a victory party for 375,000 fans on three days’ notice?
Yeah, the City of Champions can handle that.
Penguins fans lined up 20 deep Monday along Grant Street […]

First, the Super Bowl in January.

Last night, the Stanley Cup!

Mad Max Talbot for the two goals, and Fleury for shutting Detroit out, especially that last minute save. Max with the Cup.

The handshake line.

Gives a whole new meaning to this.

And of course, a link to the crazy guys at […]

That was a hellacious game last night, and the Pens beat the Welfare Queens 4-2. Speaking of and forgive the French, but Mike Babcock is a shitbag, which I guess is appropriate for the coach of the hockey team in America’s sewer town. What a nasty piece of work.
And Bob Errey’s having fun on […]

The Pens beat the Lightning last night. Guess who was at Mellon watching the game?

Big Ben Roethlisberger.
So do you suppose it was his good mojo that led to that final Malkin shot and win?

Let me preface this by saying that there are two things you would not be surprised to see in any store of any kind here: Penn State merchandise and Steelers merchandise. That’s not to say that every store carries either or both, just that if you walked into, say, an appliance store and saw a […]

The Pens won!
The Steelers won!
The Eagles lost!
Fleury the Steeler:

Run!

I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but does anyone — could anyone — look more like a frog than Therrien? Other than the fact that he is a frog, seriously, look at the frog lips.

The Pens made a video for the Steelers:

Bye-bye, Ducks. And if you’re going to Mellon for Sunday’s game, take note:
The Pittsburgh Penguins are encouraging fans to bring “Terrible Towels” to Sunday’s 12:30 p.m. game against the New York Rangers at Mellon Arena, in a show of support for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Penguins’ game will be televised nationally by NBC.
The Pittsburgh Steelers […]

Hat tip to Darren for pointing to these whiners.
The Irwin Academic Services Center helps only about 550 of the school’s 37,000 students. And places like this in schools across the country leave critics fuming.
“These athletic tutoring palaces perpetuate resentment and stereotyping on campus,” said Allen Sack, a University of New Haven professor and former football […]

Nittany Lion mascot charged with DUI.

First, McCain, now Penn State:
Iowa kicked a 31-yard field goal to complete a comeback and beat Penn State 24-23.
Undefeated no longer.

This weekend was good for college football. For the first time in 30 years, Penn State defeated Ohio State 13-6 in Columbus, in Ohio State’s Homecoming game. That’s schadenfreude, ja sure. And in Memorial Stadium, IU beat Northwestern 21-19 in IU’s Homecoming game. Course, it remains to be seen what happens at Heinz Field when […]
