Ring The Bell

With each win, the victory bell rings for Penn State football.

Ring The Bell captures the 22 greatest victories of the past four decades--remembering the greatest players, reliving the greatest plays, recalling the greatest opponents. The stories you've heard told and the stories you've shared with others all can be found in this one thrilling volume of Penn State history.


Two national championships, seven undefeated seasons, and the sport's winningest coach. Linebacker U, Beaver Stadium, and Happy Valley. Paternoville, the white helmets, and the blue buses. Success with Honor and the Grand Experiment. All these stories and more await inside.

While focusing on Penn State football, Ring The Bell is also a virtual history of college football. The greatest schools in college football have battled against the Nittany Lions--from Notre Dame to USC, from Michigan to Ohio State, from Nebraska to Miami--and Penn State has conquered them all.


Ring The Bell takes lifelong fans on a trip through their fondest football memories and will introduce young fans to the proud traditions of Penn State football.
