I’m sure all you dedicated Penn Staters proudly know and say the slogan “It’s ___ o’clock and Michigan still sucks”. I hadn’t heard this hilarious saying until I began school at Penn State; especially having grown up in southeast Michigan in a U of M household where “Go Blue” and “Hail to the Victors” were said more than my own name. My eleven-year-old self probably would’ve disagreed with this statement, but now being a student at Penn State and seeing both sides of the tracks, I couldn’t agree more.

Here are 10 reasons why Penn State is better than Michigan...

1. We have our beloved Nittany Lion mascot, unlike Michigan who call themselves the Michigan Wolverines, although they lack a mascot to lead the crowd.

2. Beaver Stadium may not be as big or have high-quality additions like The Big House, but our crowd and student section will always be louder, more energetic, and more FUN than just about every other stadium in college football.

3. Penn State’s alumni network is bigger and encompasses a wider variety of careers.

4. We have the beloved, fan favorite “WHITE OUT” games.

5. We may have some crappy weather here in State College, but if it’s 20 degrees here, it’s 10 degrees in Ann Arbor.

6. We have Joe Paterno's legacy.

7. Michigan may be an original member of the Big Ten with the most number of wins, but they cannot claim a coach with as many wins as JoePa.

8. We won the Big Ten Eastern division title in football over Michigan in 2016. We also took the Big Ten Championship spot against Wisconsin, and won.

9. We have the famous “WE ARE” chant. We beat Ohio State this past football season.

10. Disregarding the review of the referee calls after the game ended, Michigan still lost. Sorry not sorry.
