Some
of Penn State’s most ardent fans (read Joe Paterno fans) would like
you to think that the “Outside
the Lines” report on
our player’s recent legal woes is nothing more then a ratings
driven media witch-hunt on a great man and the program he founded. In
some respects, they might even be correct. Whether ESPN had an agenda
does not matter, what matters is the how this segment will shape the
future of Penn ...

Preseason Penn State Recruiting Report Card - Defense and Final Grade

2008-11-01T00:30:32Z

Defensive Line:

Current Grade: C+
Current verbal commitments: Sean Stanley

With
the recent departure of Phil Taylor and Chris Baker, the defensive line
has gone from one of the deepest and most talented in the nation, to a
very good one defensive line with new questions. The DT and DE depth

on Sundays. A few short weeks ago, securing a stud DT was seen as
luxury; now it has become a necessity ...

2008-11-01T00:31:40Z

With the season starting in just a few days this is the perfect time
for a look at where the Penn State football team stands in the
recruiting race. There is certainly a long away to go until signing

predict how the Class of 2009 will end ...

PSU Football - A Complete and Utter Disgrace

2008-11-01T00:33:45Z

Penn State Football. In the past those words have been synonymous with honor, integrity, and doing things the right way on and off the football field. Today when someone says Penn State Football the words bring to mind mediocrity on the field, lawlessness off the field, a stubborn old coach that has lost control of his once proud program and an Administration that doesn't have the guts to do anything about it.
