Where did the Land Grant Trophy come from? Origins of the 'prettiest block of wood'
Is Penn State-Michigan State a rivalry? There's no debating one thing: their Land Grant Trophy is unlike anything else in college football.

Sparty might be the only team in conference that I know nothing about. The only game action I’ve seen was part of Youtube TV’s quadbox when they played Michigan & Ohio St, two games (among many) that didn’t work out very well for them. What I do know is that their offense is as bad as many others in this shallow conference. It’ll be interesting to see how split the fandom will be at Ford Field. Good seats still available at very affordable prices on TM resale. I’ll call it another dull 30-6 game and wait for the bowl announcement.

I haven’t watched them this season either.
I’m also interested to watch PSU play on indoor turf.
For some strange reason, I think PSU excels…almost as if they’re playing at Holuba Hall.
On past Thanksgivings James Franklin has thrown a large Thanksgiving dinner for the team. With a game on Friday, did the team get a big dinner of Turkey.? What would be the effect of the Tryptophan?
Requiem for the Land Grant Rivalry
Both a creation and casualty of Big Ten expansion, the manufactured Penn State-Michigan State rivalry never truly flourished.
