Anyone remember Nick Horvath from the old Patriot News? He hated PSU. I’d have him above Jones
Oh yeah, Nick was a huge Oklahoma fan. His anti-PSU bias aside, he was very good guy, treated everyone well.

I remember he was an Oklahoma fan. Only judged him by what he wrote, and usually pissed me off. But I always read his articles so I guess that was the idea. Nice to know he was a good guy. Thanks Ceasar.

That article was written by the BTN's own Nicole Auerbach. Using the photo of AK implies he was faking his injury. Sure, gotta slow down the plodding, huddle-up offense of Iowa.

Nicole works for The Athletic, not BTN.

Thanks. I've seen her on BTN and thought that was her gig.

Yeah, she's been on there a few times. I don't really know her. I do think it's unfair to use a photo of any injured player for that story. I understand why they did, but PSU player or not, I absolutely don't use an injury photo if I'm typing that story. There are a ton of NCAA photos you can use of their headquarters or whatever. I wasn't a fan of that this morning.

Any of the Philly sports talk radio personalities (except for Ray Didinger). But, it really does not matter much in the end because they are so light-weight when it comes to college football coverage.

As for tv, Mark May
Is Mark May even working any more?

Found this on his Wiki, had no idea he was such an upstanding young man:

Legal troubles[edit]​

In January 1979, as a sophomore at Pitt, May was arrested for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, criminal mischief, inciting a riot, and making terroristic threats. May reportedly was jumping on top of parked cars, threatening police officers and encouraging a crowd of onlookers to fight the officers.[18][19] He was found guilty of criminal mischief and disorderly conduct, while the other charges were dismissed.[20]

As a member of the Redskins, May was twice arrested for DUI. The second instance occurred in March 1990, and the first in 1985 in Arlington, Virginia.[21]

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
Tosser. If anyone dares speaks the truth or their opinion and not verbally ********** the PSU line, then you think they are haters.

Heather Dinich, seems to enjoy giving negative Penn State opinions. Wasn't she at the Patriot News at one point.

Booger McFarland

Joey Galloway: " I have PSU in over OSU. Won toughest conference, toughest division and beat two other best teams in the league. How can you say they deserve no consideration?!".

Booger: "I just hate Penn State".

Words may be slightly different(actually I hope they were cause that shouldn't stick word for word) but it was said. Good analysis, Booger.

Audrey Snyder. She’s always taking passive aggressive shots at the program. She has Joe’s worst moment of his life as her Twitter background. (Still).

Wow, what a POS. In 2022, there it is.

Hope you're well bud.

She was actually at the CDT years ago
IIRC, Dinich attended Indiana U. I'm not certain but she may have been a PA native who returned after college and eventually would up at the CDT. The only thing I remember about her is she apparently had no respect for women's basketball. In 2004 PSU's Kelly Mazzante became the career scoring leader among Big Ten basketball players, men or women. Dinich threw a hissy fit since the prior scoring leader was Calbert Cheaney of her beloved Hoosiers. She wrote an article explaining how men's and women's basketball couldn't be compared therefore there's no way Mazzante should be above Cheaney. She acted as if people said Mazzante would destroy Cheaney if they went one on one. Of course nobody claimed any such thing nor did they claim Mazzante would have had the same success if she played on a men's team. It was a bizarre train of thought by Dinich.

I believe Mazzante's conference record has since been eclipsed by a couple other female players. I wonder if Dinich wrote articles about them which diminished their accomplishments.
