Brent Yarina, BTN.com Senior Editor, May 1, 2012

Next up on our Twitter Tips series: Penn State. We've already featured nine schools (see them all here), and now it's time to turn our attention to the guys who tweet about the Nittany Lions. Just as a refresher, this is a 12-installment series that spotlights every Big Ten institution, in alphabetical order. Our goal is to share some of our favorite school-specific Twitter accounts with the fans. Without further delay, let?s get to the Penn State handles.

The Nittany Lions feature plenty of worthy follows, from informative beat writers (@BobbyFlo7) to dedicated bloggers (@EpicTripod) to passionate coaches (@Coach_Chambers). Basically, whatever it is you're looking for, Penn State has a presence on Twitter.
