Another casualty of the scandal? Other Penn State sports. People like me are so heartbroken we’re not giving them their due. It isn’t fair I suppose, but my motivation for the alma mater and everything about it is at an all-time low. Let me me correct that this morning — the Nittany Lions beat Illinois [...]
Members of Penn State’s Trustees Recall Painful Decision to Fire Paterno – The Times
I don’t think this article about the collective discernment that the Board of Trustees will change anybody’s opinion of that body and I am not suggesting that either. What is the important about this report are the details of Graham Spanier’s overwhelming [...]
How The Song “Seven Nation Army” Conquered The Sports World – Deadspin
“Seven Nation Army” made a beachhead in American sports in State College, Penn. According to a 2006 story in the Harrisburg Patriot-News, Penn State spokesperson Guido D’Elia—who is still the director of communications and branding for the embattled football program—was inspired by hearing a [...]
Blue Band Scraps Glitter’s “Rock and Roll” – Onward State
The Penn State Blue Band sort of dropped Rock n’ Roll Part II from its pregame. I wanted them to do this years ago because Gary Glitter was convicted in 2005 of the things Jerry Sandusky is accused of right now. The article linked above says [...]
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.

Tom Bradley, past interim coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions, is likely going to be elsewhere moving forward. A lifer at Penn State, starting as a player and then a graduate assistant, position coach, defensive coordinator and ultimately interim head [...]
I was saddened to learn that one of my former professors, Jeanne Hall, died this past week.
Dr. Hall was a film professor — I only had her for COMM 150, the introductory film course. However, I knew her a little bit. In fact, even before I took her class, she introduced herself to me [...]

Yale Accepts Coach Williams’ Resignation – Yale Sports Publicity
Yale Bulldogs head coach Tom Williams has resigned effective the end of the year. A controversy over Williams’ Rhodes Scholarship claims that came up in November is the official reason.

The branding of Penn State athletics (if not the whole university) is probably going to go through a major overhaul following the Jerry Sandusky scandal (just named AP’s #1 sports story of the year – pennlive.com). The familiar “chipmunk” logo may be phased out.
Twitter user @CasaNoVApsu knows what he wants in a new brand identity [...]
UPDATED: Maybe the story didn’t quite go down like it was originally reported:
Penn State Pools Closed Over Break To Everyone, Not Just SuePa – Onward State
So, maybe somebody pulled a fast one on the Patriot-News reporter Sara Ganim, perhaps as “revenge” for breaking the Jerry Sandusky story. We’ll see.
ORIGINAL POST:
It just gets worse at my [...]
