The season comes to a horrific close, with Penn State's demoltion at the hands of Deebo Bielema, Montee Ball, and Russell Wilson. Listen as Kevin F**king Powers and I discuss the various forces conspiring against Penn State's present and future, including:
- The fine art of Big Ten officiating
- The uselessness of search committees
- Urban Meyer's noble crusade to save college football from itself while also destroying Penn State
- Truly dark, horrific possible destinations for PSU's coaching search
- Russ Rose's amazing ability to multitask the coaching search and his team's NCAA tournament run
- The weirdness of the "Senior Woman Administrator" job title
- Dan Mullen, Charlie Strong, Tony Dungy and anyone else willing and brave enough to save us
- The fine line between firing coaches and administrators
- The burden of being Tom Bradley
- And much, much more. It's an hour. Much of it spent crying on each others' shoulders.

It was all a dream, I used to read Word-Up magazine.
You have no idea. And I’m pretty sure Chris cut out the real depressing stuff.

Light Trolling...
Does a fanbase good.

Personally, I think our archaic trolling program here at BSD is really setting us behind against our peers.

How do we recruit better trolls?
Should we have a Troll Friday?

Well, we could always head over to VaTech's SB Nation page.
Run.

Oddly enough
The dude who runs Gobbler Country is actually pretty good at trolling.

Why not create a Trish Grovich - a really annoying Temple fan?

Jay is going to end up in the NFL

From what I hear
The Eagles may be a loss or two away from a new coaching staff soon…
I'm on the Internet cause I'm an Internet thug.

Surely you're not serious
I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.
I, for one, plan to continue my life long contempt for the powers that be and I fully expect to be disappointed with whatever choice is made. ~PSUgirl
Hiring committees are often used for executive positions
It’s not very uncommon, and I think it’s more been announced to make a non-negative press hit. The rationale is that more heads are better than one.
All these people might not be making the decision, and they’re not equal votes as you say, but they’ll be consulted and active in the interview process.
I think it’s a perfectly good idea.
I wouldn't trust old rooster me neither.
I'm seeing rumblings that PSU hired the Spencer Stuart Agency for this.
If that’s true, they’ll be the ones driving this train with Joyner, Erickson, and Lubert’s guidance.

Whatever ends up happening
If this goes south, we all know we’ll have one person to blame: Charmelle Green.
Finally listened
Dave Joyner — Board of Trustees likes having one of their own in charge. Part of the many power grabs that everyone is making for the foreseeable future. I think he’s here for quite a while.
Rodney Erickson — a “statesman” who knows he just has to hold it together, will bow to the board for the most part.
Al Golden — Let’s see, I can recruit a state full of talent, go to the beach on Christmas day or go into a place where the sun does not shine November – April, has been turned upside down by worst scandal ever. Might be willing to be the coach after this coach though, coming back the conquering hero?
Cost of living — cost of living can’t be too bad in State College.
Ron Vanderlinden — probably the cleanest hands of the coaching staff in the sense that he wasn’t around at all for Sandusky’s tenure.
Ivy League coached worked out okay in the past…
Strong music selections this week.
Washingtonian and heartbroken Penn Stater -- My blog features the triumph of hope over experience that is being a DC sports fan (especially the Nats) as well as the Nittany Lions, life in BeltwayLand and other things I find interesting. @doubleuefwhy
