MMQB – We’re Not Special

The University of Pennsylvania's Penn State team, known for their blue and white colors, faced a loss against the Wisconsin Badgers on September 26, 2026. The article emphasizes that the authors, who are themselves fans of the team, do not consider themselves to be the same as the players and coaches who perform on the field. The team is not special, despite the fans' desire for their success.

They acknowledge that despite their best efforts, mistakes happen such as poor play-calling, time and roster management, missed tackles, and blocks. If they were truly exceptional, they would have closed out a 17-0 season against Wisconsin, completed a comeback against Oregon in 2025, held onto the lead against Notre Dame in the College Football Playoffs semifinal, and not lost to Michigan State in 2017.

The article concludes that the team is likely just a middle-of-the-pack Big Ten team and recognizes that this is likely where they will remain indefinitely. It is okay to be average, the authors state.
