The Lions' Pride

They said the same things last year, and the year before. I'll wait until we see it on the field.

True but like PSU12 mentioned, we have a new S&C coach that has likely changed a lot in the form of the overall S&C process moving forward.

If he goes through the entire roster and individually says each one is in the best shape of their PSU careers, I will puke all over my keyboard.

MESSAGE FROM BWI PUBLISHER PHIL GROSZ!

BWI has been unable to confirm the internet rumor that redshirt sophomore lineman TY HOWLE [6'6, 295] of Bunn, NC has run a sub 4.6 40 yd dash. Sources have indicated to BWI that Howle has been having a wonderful winter workout session and is in the best shape of his Penn State career. He has added 8 inches and 30 lbs of muscle to his frame while maintaining his legitimate 5.50 speed. However, in my 31 years of covering PSU football, I have never heard Joe Paterno say that a lineman has run such a fast 40 time before. When BWI receives any confirmation from its sources, it will be immediately reported by Nate Bauer on twitter. Two hours later, I will post it here in the Den.

LOL... that one always made me laugh. Way to glorify something that should be expected at every school.

As a side note, I remember these kind of tweets for fall conditioning, not winter workouts.

ANOTHER STATEMENT FROM BWI PUBLISHER PHIL GROSZ!

I believe that when pre-season practice begins, Penn State will have the best LB core in the big ten. I also believe they will have the deepest WR core in the big ten. In addition, they will come into pre-season camp with the best Defensive line in the big ten. It wouldn't surprise me if the secondary is considered one of the top 5 in the nation at that time as well. Sources are also saying that the offensive line has made incredible strides this off-season and come into camp probably deeper than they have been in the 45 years I've been covering Penn State Football.

My sources have also confirmed that penn state has been working on a variety of new formations during the pre-season. They have experiment with a formation that included 5 receivers, 4 running backs, 1 center, 3 tight ends, and 1 quarterback. This is the type of offensive scheme that I have been waiting to see from penn state given that this is the most talent I have scene on this side of the ball in over 25 years. There have also been formations where McGloin, Bolden, Bench, and Paul Jones are on the field at the same time. This type of formation can provide incredible amount of confusion for the opposing team.

You can read more about it on my next inside look coming in December.

No problem. I wasn't sure if you were serious or joking? haha

"Relative to the situation, these tweets have already made me jump Penn State to #6 in the pre-season G&W Report".

I'm sure Fitz knows how to send emails entailing the workouts he wants. He's also friends with Butler so I'm sure he's communicating though him as well.

My favorite Phil quote EVER...and I forget what it was in reference to...

"BWI has spoken to every single one of its contacts in Old Main and in the Lasch Football Building and has nothing to report at this time."

That was the most hilarious thing ever.

This part right here is so money.

that was my favorite bwi Phil post of all time.
