Fill in the blanks. But the top slot is pretty obvious. There may have been media members from the past that I’m not aware of. Can be local or national media

Here's the ones that come to mind, mainly from the 2011 timeframe. Not sure if they still are outwardly anti-PSU but their short-term actions back then made me categorize them that way and permanently despise them nonetheless.

  • ESPN (good call, Classof09)
  • Keith Olberman (total a--hole)
  • Desmond Howard (& wife... from Twitter)
  • Christine Brennan
  • Sarah Ganim
  • Bleacher report (pick a person)

Who's the Terd from the Altoona rag?

Sarah Ganim, PC pick. How's her Uncle Tonoose?

For sure David Jones, and the best part of his hate is that he has helped to turn both PennLive.com and the Harrisburg Patriot-News into non-profitable fish wraps.

I admit I do hold grudges a VERY long time. I have no problem with it.
Okay, I'll see you one and raise you a Jabba the Hutt.

BOB FLOUNDERS, going all the way back to his time at the Easton Express, has crapped on PSU.

It's been alluded to previously on this board regarding Herstreit. I'm not sure if he hates PSU or for that matter likes PSU as much as he's an OSU homer who will build up or cut down PSU based on what benefits OSU.
Most OSU announcers have been kind and respectable to PSU Chris Spielman spoke highly of JVP , Herbie is good mostly except for Buckeye games, and Joey Galloway is good.

Have to add Wannstedt and his porn star mustache to this list.

That was 39 years ago. You hold a grudge a long time.
He's right, though. I remember watching a game against Boston College in which he all but accused Penn State of paying off the referees. He started to say as much, and then backed off by saying he wouldn't voice what he was thinking.

Ron Cook, although he will put on a game face for us once in a while. Back a little longer Bob Smizik. Both from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette for those not from there.
Have to disagree on Smizik. Cook, you have a point. I'll add to your list PSU grad, Gene Collier.

Joey Galloway is a snake. He turned his nose up at PSU when the scandal hit. Pretty sure he threw his 2 cents in and it wasn’t good. So, did Trev Alberts(dbag), and Trevor Matich. Yet, I haven’t heard any of them bad mouth Michigan State, Ohio State, or Michigan despite recent revelations that they had similar egregious things happening on campus for years and it was known by many. It’s crickets from all of them. Same with Dan Bernstein from Chicago. I e-mailed that dirtbag when the OSU stuff came out and he claims to have covered it, but he made PSU a daily target for a long time.

Don't remember that about Galloway i stand corrected , Robert Smith seem OK.

Watched a Monday Night Football game where a former PSU player had a great play, between Ridick and Griese restraining from mentioning Penn State nearly caused both of them to explode .

Anyone remember Nick Horvath from the old Patriot News? He hated PSU. I’d have him above Jones
Oh Horvath did big time! When he was the sports editor at the PN and the late Ronnie Christ retired, he jumped at it having Flounders and Jones handling that beat.
