#25 penn state nittany lions

not just any lions, guys. lions of Nittany. which i had to google because my geography is shit.
i was told by my Penn State-obsessed friend that Nittany is a mountain near the stadium.

colors: blue and white
conference: Big Ten - Leaders Division. now that Nebraska is officially no longer part of the Big 12 but a member of the Big Ten (which i will bitch about later), the conference is divided into two divisions now:
1. Leaders: Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, Wisconsin
2. Legends: Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern
DUMBEST NAMES EVER
mascot: Nittany Lion - original name, guys

huzzah!

coach: Joe Paterno, aka "JoePa." IT IS HIS 45TH YEAR TO FUCKING COACH THIS TEAM. coached five undefeated teams to major bowl games, holds the record for most victories, most bowl games, THE MAN IS A LEGEND.

i'm 130 years old and still kicking your ass!

quarterback: still undecided - Rob Bolden started last year as a freshman, then suffered a concussion against Minnesota and didn't play much after that, so Matthew McGloin took over and Bolden peaced out. Penn State didn't heavily recruit quarterbacks this year, but one scholarship was offered to this guy, Skyler Mornhinweg.
the low-down: they just made the cut, but it's hard to say if they'll stay. their schedule is pretty difficult - they play Alabama, Nebraska, Ohio State, Wisconsin. the fact that they're even ranked pre-season is kinda surprising, since they were an unimpressive 7-6 and lost the Outback Bowl to Florida - it was definitely a building season. but people seem to see potential in their young players this year. the season really depends a lot on their quarterback.
first game: Indiana State at home. will probably win because who is Indiana State?
