Over the past few weeks, I have tried to avoid posting on this incident — as I’m trying to be more understanding of my wife’s alma mater. But God help me, I just can’t help myself from making hay every time some idiot Nittany Lion screws up. This particular incident was choice.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State starting center E.Z. Smith was kicked off
the team Friday for his role in an incident in which arrows were shot through a
dormitory wall during a party. Smith is off the team at least until the end
of the summer, and coach Joe Paterno will decide whether the senior will be
allowed back on the team.

I’m somehow going to look past the issue of how, exactly, you can shoot an arrow through a wall at other human beings and yet remain possibly eligible for football next fall (remember when Penn State used to at least pretend to hold itself to a higher moral standard?). Instead, I’m going to ask at what kind of hick-assed school would students actually keep a 60-pound compound bow and arrows handy?

I know that I’ve said this on this site at least a dozen times, but you don’t have to make Nittany Lion football players screw up. You don’t even have to want Nittany Lion football players to screw up. You just have to sit back and watch Nittany Lion football players screw up.

Hail to Ted Nugent enrolling his kids at Penn State.
