I have got to say that I am with Mills on this one.

"The excuse is disingenuous at best, and if you want to use the "L" word, go right ahead. One hour on a Wednesday afternoon was going to make the difference in passing and failing a course. Just how gullible are we?
It's amazing how the school's basketball players, volleyball players and wrestlers, many of whom had to travel to compete last week, could survive academically."

I think the captains can handle 60 minutes with the media, Paterno is being petty.

Well, when you've got the media calling you a "has been" and telling you that you need to go, and then 364+ days removed from that, you're the toast of the town because you turned thing around, you'd be petty, too.

On another PSU-related note, tonight's Sportscenter was the 2nd time this week ESPN has run a feature attacking Rene Portland and the woman's basketball program, (with respect to the accusations of sexual harrassment and the lawsuit being brought against her and the university). I don't know why ESPN is trying to make a big deal of this. I mean, Rene has been getting accused of this type of stuff for years, but it seems like ESPN is really enjoying the story. I feel like a Tennessee Vols fan these days....
