Unofficial student-run blog on Penn State topics. The only basis for notability is winning a "Best Alternative Media Outlet" online poll at USNWR's side-blogs, not the main periodical. The website was not even substantially profiled. It was not selected on any other basis than online votes, which the blog attributed to ''"Facebook, families, a giant student body, a legitimately good blog."'' That's not enough for notability.

- Keep: U.S. News & World Report is a notable magazine in print and online. Winning a poll against Yale is a sign of notability. To quote Kristen Karas' report from Collegian Online: Yale student Max Uhlenhuth, the self-described "go-to guy" for the Timothy Dwight blog, had expected his blog to win because it had been leading in the poll. "It was a rough loss," he said. "But Penn State has a great blog, so no hard feelings." Even their closest competitor admitted Penn State has a great blog.
