Joe Pa Will Fight You If You Don't Watch This
The Sporting Blog —
... startling, energetic force staring through the camera lens at you?
All fine performances, but we'll even pass up the light comic banter and excellent prop work of Rich Rodriguez for the obvious Oscar performance here: Joe Paterno, whose concluding "COME TO PENN SHHHTATE!!!" uttered between gritted teeth contains meaning a thousand words only begins to describe. Old and wise, furious in the face of advanced age -- he is an Ahab for our time, that man.

The Last of the Famous International Undefeated Playboy Teams
The Sporting Blog —
... Penn State: The undefeated Lions face any number of landmines between now and the end of the season. This weekend's Illinois team is a suspect, since being a Ron Zook team means winning the games you shouldn't while dropping the gimmes from time to time. (Hey! Just like USC!) So are Michigan State and Ohio State, for that matter; the Spartans in particular could nip up and COME TO PENN SCHTATE and help the JoePa replay the one-loss scenario of 2005 thanks to the merciless running of Javon Ringer. ...
