The Nittany Lions average about 7,000 but if you ever watched one of their home games on television, you'll see lots of empty seats in the lower bowl; to the point that it looks like they have 700 fans. And they're missing out too! And a bonafide NBA draft prospect in point guard Tim Frazier. Well, we're here to make sure … [Read more...] about Penn State’s Tim Frazier has serious NBA potential

Nike’s Phil Knight Addresses Paterno Firing at Memorial Service
Someone had to talk about it; the elephant in the room. In all the tributes paid to Joe Paterno these past few days, a few talked about his recent dismissal. Little to none discussed it in a substantive sense. Nike CEO Phil Knight at least touched upon it; but ended up doing little more than Paterno/Penn State cheerleading. Maybe it would have been better if he had just kept … [Read more...] about Nike’s Phil Knight Addresses Paterno Firing at Memorial Service
Penn St. Alums in State Capital: JUST DON’T GET IT
Everyone gets the "death bounce;" no matter who they are or what they've done. And by death bounce, I mean the mainstream media, and with it John Q. Public, just going ahead and glossing over everything that person did wrong while they were alive. Well, hopefully a monster like Jerry Sandusky doesn't get the death bounce.

Penn State Still Nowhere Close to Finding New Coach
Forget all those rumors you've heard about who is to be the successor to Joe Paterno at Penn State. Eric Mangini? Nah, not gonna happen. They're no more closer to finding their new college football coach today than on the day Paterno was fired. Penn State's acting Athletic Director David Joyner said during a Ticket City Bowl public event in Dallas that the search to replace … [Read more...] about Penn State Still Nowhere Close to Finding New Coach
Joe Paterno’s 1992 Letter to College Presidents Reeks of Fraud
Given what kind of year it's been for Penn State, Jerry Sandusky and Joe Paterno, this old letter I saw republished on Athlon seems perfect for revisiting. Sandusky looks guilty as sin for the crimes alleged against him, and Paterno looks like the complete opposite of the man who was named Sports Illustrated "Sportsman of the Year" in 1986. Think about that for a second, … [Read more...] about Joe Paterno’s 1992 Letter to College Presidents Reeks of Fraud
