Some things you may have missed in this week's Fanposts and Fanshots:

Joe Paterno is talking Big Ten expansion, and says if he was 20 years younger, he'd be giving Jim Delany the whatfor. (TheMightyErik)
Former Penn State LB Derek/Cameron Wake is finally in position. Good luck to him. (psupride)
After one year of fleeting football glory, Indiana may very well suck forever. (QBsneak12)
Interestingly, CFN names Penn State #3 in its "Tailback U." rankings. (psume06)
Les Miles, taking Twitter way too seriously. (baconway9)
Anthony Morrelli doesn't die. He multiplies. (millzners)
Have to agree with this in a way, because I remember helplessly screaming "but, they suck!" at the Big XII teams when Penn State was 9-0 and getting bagged on in every conceivable way. Then there was Iowa, and, yeah. (Sevay)
Birmingham, Alabama Penn Staters, unite. (Paige2PSU)
Our old friend Chris Dufresne pops up with highlights of USC's spring game, and tells us why L.A. is too good for spring football. (PSUhomer)
Finally, your management needs a little help.

And this wasn't addressed anywhere else in the Fanposts / Fanshots, but exactly what the hell is going on with the women's tennis team ?

I think I screamed “But, they suck!” at least fifteen times during that horrible video game-esque game known as “Oklahoma 61, Oklahoma State 41”

They did once play defense out there, right?

or did Scout.com leave out Lenny Moore on their list of great running backs?

The ONLY thing that needs to be discussed today is the fact that JoePa gave JOE TORRE’s older sister the WHATFOR back in the day. “Chubby, but cute?” Oh, I’ve been there, done that. I mean, not with Joe Torre’s sister; just as a general theory.

JoePa apparently ruined her for all other men, as she became a nun knowing she couldn’t get any better than Mr. Paterno. Or, at least, that’s how I envision it.

BSD Mike

I am a little pissed at Mike and his request for help.

I offered multiple stories of getting wasted in SC, hooking up with large college ladies, doing the walk of shame, throwing up on the way to Friday morning class, urination on people’s toothbrushes/shampoo containers, you bring you break it sledge hamer party, etc….no response.

And he wants our help for a story on State College/PSU…I am trying to bring to light the real PSU…or from what I recall in the 90’s.;)

by SweepTheLeg on May 1, 2009 1:43 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

I'm sure the '90's were fun,

but the mid-’70’s were…..umm…….freewheeling? Yeah – that’s it. Freewheeling. Keg parties allowed in dorms, lots of coeds digging the freedom the Pill provided, smoking in classrooms……a whole different world.

Alas, not what Mike’s looking for, methinks.

sledgehammer parties

sound about as safe as that stump game for tailgating

Sledgehammer - You bring it....you break it.

Was one of the best parties ever….Ruts would hand out the sledgehammer to party guests…someone brought an old car….another person a toilet….classsic fun

Ohhhhh... you bring it/you break it!

I think I either brought an old clock radio or a lamp. Needless to say, many of my memories are shrouded in a fog of malt liquor and whiskey.

Loved your old place on W. College Ave. Good times, good times.

Didn't we also throw stuff out the windows or fire escape to the sidewalk?

Or am I thinking of a different party? I mean, we broke a lot of shit in our day.

by Tailgate Shogun on May 1, 2009 5:42 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yep...lots of stuff was broken there. I really don't remember that much from college

If I didn’t graduate when I did, the liver would have shut down. Seriously, I got hammered 26 days per month, still can’t believe I graduated.

RUTS, that tennis story might be the weirdest thing I’ve read in a while. YOU DON’T WANT PEPPERONI!? SUSPENSION!

I agree

one part of me thinks that the story got blown out of proportion, but considering there were 3 or 4 of the top players that seemed to have similar problems with the coach.

by The JuggerNitt on May 1, 2009 3:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

That coach needs to chill out

Someone should introduce her to Bowman, Evans, and Koroma.

I can’t believe that no one’s done a photoshop of Evans and Koroma as Cheech and Chong.

Yep. Can’t believe it.

I think the coach is right

Who doesn’t like pepperoni? Clearly, not someone we need on the team.

by Tailgate Shogun on May 1, 2009 4:27 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Agreed

Pepperoni? Not good enough for suspension.

Bacon? YOU DON’T WANT BACON? GIVE IT TO ME, AND THEN GET YOUR ASS OUT OF HERE.

The coach is absolutely right

I once shot a guy in the face for not eating the banana in his banana split. I like how this tennis coach thinks.

I thought is was going to be another poll to rank the players

Okay, I checked it out

There are some cute girls on the team, and some, well… not cute girls. I didn’t want to be the creepy guy posting pictures of 18 year old students, only to have a bunch of fat, drunk, and stupid people posting about how some of them looked like dog-faced gremlins. ‘cause some of them do. Let’s not go there, shall we?

However, I will post a pic of Coach Prevette. Blonde, young, potentially batshit crazy? Aw yeah, I’d drink a tub of her bath water.

Great pick up line - feel free to use it.

Of coure, you need to say it in your best Barry White sexytime voice. “Baby, you’re so fine, I’d drink a tub of your bath water. Mmm hhmm.”

Works every time. Now, I don’t endorse actually going through with said act. My guess is that’s not good for anyone. But it’s good to let a girl know you’re committed to doing anything it takes for the one night stand.

Smoking hot, but potentially as Wayne’s World put it, a psycho hose beast. She sounds like the type that is probably going to be caught beating some guy chained to the bed with a tennis racket. Assuming all this crazy is true of course.

I'd let her be my psycho hose beast...

at least for a while. Once she shows up to the dunkin donuts with a gun rack though……welllll, then its time to really cut ties. I mean I dont even own A gun,

Not when the person with the gun rack is potential nutcase

Then you delve into the area of why gun control is important in this country, which I wont get into, except to say, crazy = no gun for you.

Believe me, us who do not suppor gun control do not agree with the principle of allowing crazies to own guns.

Let’s keep “dog-faced gremlins” anonymous because according to the Code Duello of 1777 if I think you’re talking about my girlfriend we might have to have pistols at dawn, she’s one of the cute ones…. on a lighter note you’re funny, but you don’t want to see Dawna without the make up on and on a normal day at a match or in a bath ::shudders::

PSU Women's Tennis

As one of the boyfriends of a player on the team, I’m glad that nobody posted a pic of her and started leering or I’d have to challenge you to a duel to protect her honor. Onto the allegations against Coach Dawna Prevette however… they’re 100% true if not worse, because the Collegian article was just the tip of the iceberg, and some things they couldn’t print due to space and legal issues. Some stuff you guys should know…

A) Do not drink the bathwater, or the Kool Aid for that matter. Coach Prevette is a deeply disturbed individual who has a past history of committing mental abuse at a previous school. She was fired from there in a forced “resignation”, lied in her interview to get the PSU job and is now mentally abusing a new set of girls, and PSU won’t fire her because the backlash of admitting that they made a mistake and didn’t vet their choice correctly…. let’s just say Susan Scheetz the Women’s AD is already probably on thin ice after the Rene Portland fiasco she let last for twenty years.

B) Contrary to popular belief the girls didn’t just wake up and decide “hey I think we’ll go to the press and attack our coach today”. After suffering for two years and speaking to counselors and members of the athletic administration they decided that since Dawna wouldn’t change, and the university doesn’t give a “beaver home” about a Women’s non-revenue sport that just fulfills Title IX, that they would go to the NCAA and the press to try and get her removed from the school and hopefully banned from coaching period.

C) Sorry to break it to you, Dawna is not that pretty in person. That’s a hell of a picture from having seen her in person the past two years at every home tennis match you won’t want the bathwater, plus she’s married.

D) I’m really glad to see some if not all of you are supporting us. There is an investigation underway as well as possible legal action and it’s nice to know that there are fans out there that may not care about Women’s Tennis but at least about the players enough to not want to see them abused. You’d be surprised at some of the threats the girls have been under. So we sincerely thank you.

Any further information you guys desire if you want to run an in depth story or if you just want to help, email myself at psutennisstory@gmail.com and I would be more than happy to share it with the girls. FIGHT ON STATE!
