Joe Paterno was released from the hospital yesterday as he continues his rehabilitation from his broken pelvis. He's also continuing treatment for lung cancer. According to a source who told ESPN, the treatments are "really taking a lot out of (him)....he has his good days and bad." Then there's QB Matt McGloin who was beat up by wide receiver Curtis Drake on Saturday. … [Read more...] about Penn St Update: Paterno Released from Hospital, QB Suffered Seizure, Concussion

Penn St. QB Beaten up by Wide Receiver Teammate
Penn State starting QB Matt McGloin's Twitter account was just deleted. After he claimed it was hacked earlier. Why is this interesting? Because rumors are that he got beat up tonight by his own teammate, WR Curtis Drake. And unlike what happened in the Jerry Sandusky shower scene witnessed by Mike McQueary, police were called to the scene ASAP. Which means this really … [Read more...] about Penn St. QB Beaten up by Wide Receiver Teammate
Penn State is “Radioactive” to Bowl Selection Committees; Big 10 Bowl Projections
"They're radioactive," a bowl official told Herb Gould of the Chicago Sun-Times yesterday. "[Bowls] wanted Joe Paterno 's last game, not a nightmare." The Nittany Lions finish the season at Ohio State and Wisconsin. The OSU game looks like a toss-up, and the Badgers will likely destroy them. That season ending tilt is looking like it'll be the Leaders division championship … [Read more...] about Penn State is “Radioactive” to Bowl Selection Committees; Big 10 Bowl Projections
Big 10 Bowl Projections; Much Hinges on Wisconsin Badgers
When looking at the Big Ten conference standings, and trying to figure out the hierarchy for the college football bowl system, I can't help but think of one of my favorite lines from the '80s movie "Fletch." "I'd say we're in a gray area." "How gray?" "Charcoal." We do know this however- the Big Ten bellcow is still Wisconsin (get it bellcow, dairy state?). The … [Read more...] about Big 10 Bowl Projections; Much Hinges on Wisconsin Badgers
Big 10 Football Power Rankings: Mediocrity, Parity, Blah Edition
There are only two times when doing a power rankings can be fun- way early in the season/preseason, or when everything is jumbled, disorganized chaos and blah. Doing a power rankings when the hierarchy is clear cut is a practice strictly for centrist, vanilla losers. In the current Big Ten football world, mediocrity, blahness, national irrelevance, and parity reign. And … [Read more...] about Big 10 Football Power Rankings: Mediocrity, Parity, Blah Edition
Big Ten Football 2011 Power Rankings: Conference Season Kick-off Edition
College football is in mid-season form as Big Ten play begins this week. The Illini are 4-0 for the first time since 1951, and they just completed their first undefeated non-conference season since 2001. That's all we really need for an intro- let's get to the rankings. 1.) Wisconsin Badgers (4-0) Have put in the most impressive offensive and defensive performance so far … [Read more...] about Big Ten Football 2011 Power Rankings: Conference Season Kick-off Edition
Big Ten Football 2011 Power Rankings: Preconference Edition
One of the main storylines in the Big Ten entering this college football season was all the dual threat quarterbacks. Well so far, I'd say it's really only Wisconsin's Russell Wilson and Nathan Scheelhaase who fit that bill. Michigan's Denard Robinson did throw for over 330 yards and 4 TDs, but he is an average thrower at best. He made some really poor throws in that Notre … [Read more...] about Big Ten Football 2011 Power Rankings: Preconference Edition
#3 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. #23 Penn State Nittany Lions: Brutally Honest Game Preview
College football has really done a much better job of pre-conference scheduling these days. Last week we had two national title contenders squaring off in the Oregon Ducks vs. LSU Tigers, and another solid offering in the Boise State Broncos vs. the Georgia Bulldogs. This week is significantly weaker, but if this is as bad as the slate gets- I'll take it. Because next week … [Read more...] about #3 Alabama Crimson Tide vs. #23 Penn State Nittany Lions: Brutally Honest Game Preview
Big 10 Football Season Predictions and Projections
There's four good teams in the Big Ten this season and five more that could be good or just blah. You can call it parity (just don't call it PARODY, I HATE when people make that mistake, it isn't Weird Al Yankovic playing college football here) or you can call it mediocrity. Expect a lot of conference teams to be ranked in the 30s and 20s overall in the nation. On the … [Read more...] about Big 10 Football Season Predictions and Projections
