I don't have a whole lot new to add but I have consumed a lot of media around this Penn State thing and I will point you to some of that now. Many of you have already read this but if you haven't, Spencer Hall's article here is a good place to start: Joe Paterno: Bury A Man, Keep The Statue I...
Joe Paterno Diagnosed with Lung Cancer
The story of the Penn State Scandal takes another twist tonight with the announcement that the 84-year old Paterno has lung cancer. Paterno's son, Scott, said in a statement that his father is undergoing treatment and that "his doctors are optimistic he will make a full recovery." The announcement...
The Arab Spring Has Nothing On Joe Pa Fall.
And you're on in 3, 2, 1... Reporter: I'm here in State College. Tonight, it's the end of a legend. You've heard of the Arab Spring? Well this is Joe Pa Fall. Now I'm going to smirk at the camera and let it sink in how clever that was. Anchor: What's the mood on the street? The leafy...
The Unseemly, Sickening Endgame for Paterno and Penn State
This evening brought a report from Fox-Philly that the victims in Gerald Arthur Sandusky's alleged wretched spree have more than doubled based on tips received by investigators since state attorney general Linda Kelly went public with the case on Monday.

The Jesus was dead on about having 2 different operators for those schemes (Shipley and Fozzy so far) and the scrimmage videos at MackBrown-texasfootball suggest that the zone-read is being utilized...
A Remembrance of Things Past, and a reminder that things don’t last
I wrote the following in the Jones Top Ten this week: Texas and Florida are headed to the same place for very different reasons. While I fully believe that Urban Meyer has lost his passion for the game, in Mack Brown’s case, the evidence mounts that the game has simply passed him by....
November 1960
Gunsmoke was the top-rated TV show on the networks. John Wayne's latest film hit the screens. And on November 14, 1960 the AP College Football Poll appeared without Texas, USC, Penn State or Notre Dame in the Top 20. That wouldn't happen again for almost 50 years. This week's AP poll is the...
Pressure Building on Bobby Bowden
From 1987-2000 Florida State was 152-19-1, finishing in the Top 5 for a incredible 14 years in a row. Since 2006, the Seminoles are 24-19, and even the hometown media thinks it is time for Bowden to step down. With the 28-21 loss to Boston College on Saturday, the Seminoles have now lost two...
