    Official PSU - Nevada Game thread

    Does anyone here actually think that Zuriah Fisher is going to play much at all this season? He simply cannot stay healthy and is out today.

    WR Josiah Brown out "long term"

    It was announced that redshirt freshman wide receiver Josiah Brown is out for the season ("long term injury"). He last played a competitive game in September/October 2023 as he was recovering from the injury when he arrived at PSU last year. Josiah sat out the entire season, participated in...

    DE Bam Brima leaves Pitt.

    Yes, he has. He must have another year remaining though as he was still on the roster, and they were anticipating him playing in '24.

    DE Bam Brima leaves Pitt.

    I saw this story today and cannot help but wonder about the timing. Is there any chance that former University of Pittsburgh defensive end Bam Brima is looking to play at PSU? I do not know if a player can leave School X on August 6, matriculate to School Y and be eligible to play football...

    What percentage enthusiasm do you retain for PSU and college football from pre-transfer/NIL levels?

    You took the words right out of my mouth. Each summer, I write a 10-11,000 word preview of PSU football, breaking it down player by player, unit by unit. With portrait photos of each player, it comes out to 30-34 pages in a Word document. It takes me many days to compile it, and I send it to an...

    Going to miss a good bit of the first quarter. Unbelievable.

    Caziah Holmes is no longer on the PSU FB roster

    I figure that Lee thinks about leaving- at the very least. He may decide to return for one last year though. London Montgomery is verbally committed to PSU for '23 and if no one leaves then yes, there would be five scholarship backs in the room again next summer/fall.

    Caziah Holmes is no longer on the PSU FB roster

    I noticed tonight that running back Caziah Holmes is no longer on the PSU roster. He was uniquely listed as a Jr / Fr as he played in '20, redshirted in '21, and was entering his third year on campus (Jr). Since PSU is now counting 2020 as a mulligan for eligibility, he was listed as a...

    Former Penn State W Basketball coach Coquese Washington named Rutgers head coach

    There was a season where she did not bring in a single (!!!) freshman player. Not one . . . and there were scholarships available. I found out later that she declined to recruit because she was pregnant. She destroyed the program and it is taking time for Carolyn Kieger to rebuild. The signs are...

    Zuriah Fisher out for season

    They may have many "bodies" at the DE position, but this team is SHORT on proven DE talent. Tarburton is okay, but not a player opposing OCs worry about. Dani Dennis-Sutton, Townley, and McGraw have yet to play a collegiate snap. Who knows what Smith Vilbert will give them. The reason that...

    Zuriah Fisher out for season

    One step forward (MD DE transfer Robinson), one step back (Fisher). This season-ending injury lessens the boost that Robinson might bring. The DE room is still very thin and while Tarburton is a high-motor player, his pass-rushing skills are almost non-existent. He is a good run-stopper, but he...

    RIP Farrah Forke

    Yes, she was great . . . loved "Wings." They could not come to a contract agreement for her third season and she was written out of the show.

    SIAP: Dan Connor Back At PSU

    No, Joe did NOT make him sit for a year. Dan was calling Joe Sarra very late at night as a prank and did it fairly consistently. It was reprehensible. So tired of the trope- 'Well, didn't we all do things as a kid that we regret." Yes, but I never did something like that. Never would have...

    Is Franklin a 'true' Div. I head coach with his decision making?

    You mean vote your CONSCIENCE, not your conscious.
