I don’t want to talk about football.So it’s probably a good thing that basketball season is finally upon us, as the Nittany Lions look to build upon one of their best seasons of all-time, a 27-win, NIT Championship season that saw Ed DeChellis lead this team to new heights.Over the pa...

Penn State just could not stop Ohio State in key situations Saturday.Every piece of the Big Ten and BCS puzzle was falling into place for Penn State (8-2, 4-2 Big Ten) on Saturday. Oregon was dropped by Oregon. LSU had lost to Alabama. Cincinnati had struggled with Connecticut. Iowa was upset b...

It’s not hard to grasp the impact that Daryll Clark has had on this Penn State football team, even as someone who’s only seen meaningful snaps in two seasons.  After the struggles of Anthony Morelli, Daryll Clark stepped in and guided this team back to where it belonged. He brought th...

What's a Buckeye? It's a f'ing nut!With Penn State and Ohio State squaring off for their annual rivalry game, I exchanged questions with Jeff, who writes for the phenomenal Ohio State blog The Buckeye Battle Cry.  To be fair, that’s only in comparison to other Ohio State blogs, who focus ...

"The Fumble II" Oh snap. Can. Not. Wait. No related posts.

Last Monday, we brought you back to 2005, a simpler time, back when Penn State was 11-1 in the regular season and en route to a Big Ten championship, though Ohio State, even having lost head-to-head, claimed a share, and that they were in fact “co-champions.”  We saw title dreams fall...

Penn State. Ohio State.The names beg to be recognized as elite powers each year and since Penn State joined the Big Ten the rivalry has really taken shape over the better half of this decade. Tamba Hali's sack, and forced fumble, of Ohio State's Troy Smith is a classic image to fans.Sure, the 19...

This week, a tradition will end. Did you know that, coming into this year, the College Gameday Crew had visited either State College or Columbus each of the past four years for the Penn State-Ohio State showdown, the longest running stretch in college football?  While Herbie, Corso, and Fowler wo...

Evan Royster's 69 yard touchdown run was the icing on the cake SaturdayIt was not pretty but Penn State (8-1, 4-1 Big Ten) left Purplepalooza at Ryan field with a blowout victory over Northwestern (5-4, 2-3), 34-13. The win was Penn State’s fifth in a row and fourth in straight in the Big...

The front, as designedMore than 8 months ago, Penn State held a contest: design the next “White Out” shirt, and win something.  I think it was free textbooks for a semester, or maybe football tickets.  Either way, the genesis of the recent “controversy” is in events whic...

Last time Penn State visited Evanston, they were 3-0, unranked despite victories over South Florida, Cincinnati, and Central Michigan in the preseason schedule.  The year was 2005, and Michael Robinson showed what magic the season would have in store, when he led the Lions to an incredible come-f...

Evan Royster helped Penn State dominate MichiganIt had been over a decade since Penn State (7-1, 3-1 Big Ten) last left Michigan Stadium with a victory. All, or some, of those painful memories were washed away Saturday as Penn State used a potent air attack to hand Michigan (5-3, 1-3) their fir...

I know, right after a dismantling of Michigan, you’d think the focus would be on football.  Of course, we’ll have to be a little contrarian here at NittanyWhiteOut.  Yesterday morning, before the big game, Ed DeChellis and the basketball team held an open practice for season ticket ho...

Forget the North / South divide. It seems the country is torn right down the middle when determining whether the Big East or Mountain West is the better conference. Although the Big East is a watered down version of the middling ACC, it is still clearly the superior conference when compared to th...
