Some quick recruiting notes:
You’ll remember that Ty Howle, a center from North Carolina, became Penn State’s first verbal committment for 2009. A few days ago, he was joined by safety prospect Malcolm Willis from Maryland. A few weeks ago, Willis talked about his preferences:

As stated in the otherwise facetious “Practice Report!” post below, DT Abe Koroma was injured at practice recently. The severity of the injury is still unknown in the sense that it’s “unofficial”, but it appears to be a rather serious ankle problem.
This reduces the defensive tackle rotation to basically three guys — Jared Odrick, [...]

Maybe I’m just a bit clueless, but Dave Jones is giving Joe Paterno a little too much credit. I’m not sure that the PSU Office of Judicial Affairs ever gave a crap about Paterno’s pre-emptive punishment, and that organization’s prior actions indicate that they wouldn’t be swayed by something as odd and conciliatory as the football [...]

Penn State Elijah Robinson forced to leave team due to spinal condition.
Also, in the “I hate to say ‘I told you so’ department”, it seems that Penn State’s football team isn’t completely out of the woods yet with respect to the Spring Brawl of 2007. Interesting sidebar to that story — the Assistant D.A. [...]

Screw this, I’m going to the Denver Zoo. Feel free to post any updates in the comments or visit The Nittany Line and Black Shoe Diaries for breaking news. Also, Fight On State actually sent [...]

Happy Wednesday Thursday, everyone! It’s a belated version of B&W Roundtable today, since I was a little preoccupied with work yesterday. Black Shoe Diaries provided this week’s questions. The Nittany Line posted his thoughts yesterday. A blogger for a semi-popular Pennsylvania news website will probably be stealing our responses, posting them [...]

Hey! Is that a subpoena in your pocket, or are you just hap…oh. That’s a subpoena.

Thirteen football players are among 37 people who have been subpoenaed to testify Friday at a preliminary hearing for six football players who were charged last week in connection with an April apartment [...]
