OUR LONG NATIONAL LETTER OF INTENT DAY NIGHTMARE IS OVER
I say that every year at this time. Here is the Nittany Lions recruiting run-down from Black Shoe Diaries.
I don’t follow recruiting and doubt I ever will, but there are significant energy in following it. There are 2 major national outfits focused primarily on recruiting. Me, [...]
I am only getting to my obituary for Joe Paterno now because I wasn’t sure what I could add to the thousands of tributes already out there. I’m going to try and fill in something that I think has been overlooked. That aspect was also a little hard to find online until late last week.

Paterno’s final days: no bitterness, just marveling at his fortunate life – Sports Illustrated
In the moments after Joe Paterno died, it became common for people to write and say that he died of a broken heart. He did not. Joe Paterno died of lung cancer and the complications it caused. He did not die a [...]

Joe Paterno finally put out his side of the story nearly two months after a grand jury indicted Jerry Sandusky on many counts of doing horrible things to boys. I am glad that Paterno finally spoke, even though he doesn’t say much. It needs to be mentioned that the journalist, Sally Jenkins, was handpicked by [...]
Closing Statement…for now from Jay Paterno
To the surprise of no one, Jay Paterno is leaving the Penn State Nittany Lions coaching staff by mutual agreement with new head coach Bill O’Brien. The former quarterbacks coach issued a statement on his blog which is worth reading. Nobody, probably including him, expected him to remain after his [...]
