  • This is always a fun topic...and,

    We won 2 National Championships to their 1.

    Had 5 Perfect Seasons to their 1.

    Considering that the 1982 MNC we were 11-1...

    Joe has a legitimate claim to 6 national championships since becoming head coach in 1966.

  • The first time PSU played Ohio State, OSU forfeited the game in the third quarter because they were losing 33-0. Oh and OSU was favored.

  • For the record:

    In the last 63 years, Michigan has won exactly one half of one national championship (1998 AP)

    Michigan has a 20-21 record in bowls all time.

    In their last 10 bowls, Michigan is 4-6.

    The great Bo Schembechler won exactly zero national championships. He did win 13 Big Ten championships, but most of those were in the Big 2/Other 8 era.

    Once Michigan gets out of the friendly confines of the Big Ten, they are a good, but not great team.

    Those who say the BIG needs a strong Michigan team - well, I disagree. The BIG did just fine while UM was suffering through the RRod years.

  • Joe Paterno is 24-12 in bowls.

    His 24 bowl wins since 1966 is tied with the entire program bowl history of Nebraska (24).

    And his 24 bowl wins is better than the entire bowl history of programs such as:

    FSU (23)
    Auburn, LSU (22)
    Florida, Michigan (20)
    Ohio State (19)
    Miami (18)
    Notre Dame (15)
    Pitt (12)

    Penn State sits at #4 in all time bowl wins. If Joe Paterno were a University, his 24 wins would be good for 8th place on the all time program bowl wins rankings, surpassed only by Bama (33), USC (31), Oklahoma (27), UGA (26), Texas (26) Tennessee (25).
