There’s No One To Blame But Yourself
In The Bleachers - A College Football Blog and Podcast —
For weeks Penn State fans talked about the possibility of getting shut out of a National Championship Game like they were in 1994, now they don’t have that worry after Iowa crushed the Lions’ title hopes will one swift kick.
It’s funny the range of emotions a fan goes through after an upset win. I was watching the game in a bar in downtown Pittsburgh. Immediately after the game, I left the bar (it was full of Pitt fans who were more happy to see Penn State lose than their team win). The rest of the night I spent in denial. I refused to watch any highlights or watch ...
