It isn’t every Monday that I find so much blog-worthy material on the web…
Well, like Ron Bracken’s call for the resumption of the Pitt-Penn State series, Eric Moneypenny’s ranking of Five Teams That Will Bother Me by how bad they’re going to be (on FoxSports.com) is required reading… if for no other reason, for this epic blast at Dear Old State (#1 on his list)…
Since Joe Paterno is now practically delusional and incapable of running a major college football program, then at the very least, can somebody please put this school in the now-awful Big East? Penn State is so bad right now that it needs to go back to what put it on the college football map from the 1960s to the 1980s. And that is beating the absolute hell out of Rutgers, Temple, and Boston College. The problem is simple, too. Penn State can not recruit like it used to, and it’s killing the program. The best kids in Pennsylvania aren’t going to Happy Valley, they’re going to Michigan, Virginia, Ohio State, and Virginia Tech. So, JoePa should be canned. Oops, I mean “retire.” And it should happen soon, before he tries to turn everyone around him into a linebacker.
Dude, I don’t even know where to start agreeing with that quote.
Finally, Hail to Larry Fitzgerald for allegedly pulling down the most lucrative contract ever for a rookie. The kid deserves it. Now just don’t forget all of your old fans back in Pittsburgh, Larry. Stop by and see us some Saturday when you have a bye week.
