Philadelphia Eagles - Penn State Nittany Lions

It seems like over the last 4 years the professional football team and college football team that I
follow the most always seem to go in opposite directions. In 2002 & 2003 Penn State had 2 losing seasons while the Eagles made the NFC championship game and the Superbowl. Then last year in 2005 Penn State had an 11-1 season, won the Big Ten, and won the Orange Bowl, while the Eagles stumbled to a 6-10 season and didn't make the playoffs for the first time since 1999. This year, Penn State is 8-4 and likely going to a new years day bowl game (most likely the Outback Bowl) and lost 2 games to the 2 best teams in the country (Michigan and Ohio State) and 2 games to two other top 10 teams (Wisconsin and Notre Dame) The Eagles are 5-5 and their quarterback Donavan McNabb is out for the year, and it looks pretty likely that they will miss the playoffs for the 2nd year in a row. One of these years both teams will both have good seasons, but seems like they are always going in opposite directions.
