Midweek Musings - Predicting Penn State’s Record via Mascot Madness

The season is almost upon us, and record predictions are coming out left and right. There are countless methodologies, such as FPI, S&P+, returning productivity, etc.

Hands down the best record predicting tool would be to have the two respective mascots enter a gladiatorial arena and fight to the death, in my humble opinion. Not the dudes wearing foam suits, no, that’d be ludicrous, what’s wrong with you? But the actual animals, people, weather phenomena, and colors that comprise college football.

Our own Nittany Lion is based on a puma. Not the car from Halo, but a mountain lion.
