Since my blogging is ultimately at the convenience of BloggerTM , I have no idea when this pre-Rose Bowl episode of Blue White Roundtable will actually appear. Anyway, this week’s questions come from Zombie Nation.
1. Let’s play a little catch up. How huge was the Kevin Newsomepickup, and what should Penn State do with him [...]
