"We've had our ups and downs," said Paterno, whose program ranks with academic heavyweights like Duke, Stanford and Notre Dame. "We had some leeway back then. We get more 'advice' these days from what I call the 'website mob'."

50 to 1 odds of winning the Championship

50 to 1 odds of winning the Championship

Take a look at the odds all the teams are getting for winning the NC.

Apparently somebody thinks that Michigan (40/1) has a better chance of winning the national championship than Penn State (50/1) does. And Virginia Tech at 22/1 with how many starters they lost?! Maybe because the ACC is pathetic.

Penn State's awards Noblesville's Muir for excellence

I wanted to highlight this because you never hear about the good kids on the team that just go to class, get good grades, and go on to become decent members of society.

Former football player plans to reopen downtown bar

It seems that LaVar Arrington's involvement in re-opening the Sports Cafe is now official. Great! At three blocks, it is now officially the closest bar for me (other than the one at the Atherton Hotel and the Golden Wok).

The number one stadium in the country, though, is Beaver Stadium, home to the Penn State Nittany Lions. Beaver Stadium may get this one by virtue of its sheer size -- its 107,282 capacity makes it the largest stadium in America and third-largest in the world. It's held more than 110,000 spectators for a single game, and on gamedays, State College, PA becomes the third-largest city in Pennsylvania by virtue of the influx of people.

This is funny.

But with the DA in State College she's lucky she hasn't been charged with third degree rape, Voluntary manslaughter, 6 felony counts of access device fraud and violation of the the three women in the same house is a whore house act of 1794.

Of course it would all be plead down to a summary charge of disorderly conduct. But that's beside the point.
