The Penn State player Ohio State football fans fear most remains a year away​

Hint: he's our second string QB

Nothing divides Lionland like Eagles v Steelers.

Always found it weird that one of the 'big three' (before Chick-fil-A disrupted everything) national fast food chains didn't have a breakfast option. McDonald's has the blueprint and Burger King pretty much did the same thing but with croissants and hash brown bites. Anyway, Wendy's is most convenient for me so the idea that I might be able to grab a breakfast sandwich if need be was pretty enticing. Just to level-set, let me add that my favorite 'fast food' breakfasts (national chains) right now are:

1. Chick-fil-A
2. McDonald's
3. Taco Bell
4. Burger King
5. Starbucks (if desperate)

Anyway - went in to Wendy's this morning (yet another interior renovation has happened since I've last been) mostly because I was curious about the menu. They have some standard items with a few twists - offer a croissant like Burger King, but it's shaped like a traditional bun. Have a couple chicken items on the menu (honey chicken biscuit, maple bacon chicken and egg croissant) as well as sausage and bacon sandwich offerings. Their potato side is seasoned wedges, which are actually pretty good. I ordered the maple bacon chicken and egg croissant and was stunned at how sweet it was. I thought 'maple bacon' meant the bacon might be maple flavored, but they actually drizzle maple syrup on the bacon so it's pretty potent and way too sweet for my tastes. This was disappointing, but still, it's a decent sandwich - the croissant was pretty good and flaky and held up to the chicken and bacon quite well (as a variation on the Seinfeld 'fudge distribution' theory, the croissant allows for near perfect chicken/bacon/croissant distribution). The best part about it was even with the syrup, it wasn't messy. Very easy to eat with zero drippings. The potato wedges were tasty; very hearty and easy to dip in ketchup. But, their saltiness didn't go well with the overly sweet sandwich. I'm stunned that Wendy's, the first chain I can remember to do a spicy chicken sandwich, did not have a spicy chicken option for breakfast (neither does Chick-fil-A, unless you ask, and they may or may not do it for you). So overall, fine, but not great, and probably only slightly above Starbucks in my breakfast fast food ratings. Next time I'll try a more basic sandwich I think.

I will say Wendy's is putting their money where their mouth is - if you don't like whatever item you try, tell them and they will exchange it for another of your choice at no cost or fuss. Ballsy.

Barely any of their team has played at Beaver stadium as 2020 had no fans. When PSU still has playoff/Big Ten aspirations vs Mich or OSU the crowd gets insane. I think that OSU players will assume that its a noon game so the crowd won't be too crazy but they will be wrong.

I thought it might be more than that...17 maybe.

What's the deal with us recruiting there? Was there some issues in the past?

There are things about CJF that drive me nuts and I certainly don’t believe he is beyond criticism. Having said that if he were to leave I fully believe there are a lot of us that would eventually regret it. This is a much more difficult place to win in todays college football than many realize or want to be realistic about. Lest people forget all the times Paterno’s teams were manhandled by Michigan. They were just better than us today and this season.

Based on that it sounds like we may be more banged up at OL than we had hoped. Nice to hear that hes progressing well as a player but he's a true Freshman I believe.

Surprise, suprise! We open the conference slate on the road. Again. Versus Illinois:

It's completely legal for coaches to ask donors to put money in a collective to fund recruiting.

Jeezus, just watched a video about Maryland's new $150mm football facility. This is also probably the minimum a serious P5 football needs to keep up with the Jones's. BTW, wouldn't mind hiring this guy away.

Like me? Sent a rejection letter and most likely had the admissions office laughing their asses off that this guy actually thought Penn State would accept him. Settled on a local juco school that didn't care his SAT scores were less than your average credit score...
