CURIOUS INDEX, 11/5/2008

The BCS Case For and Against Penn State
The Sporting Blog — For a college football fan, the only sure thing is a conference title. Everything else past that is gravy ladled out by a grumpy, arbitrary cafeteria lady who might, like a Seinfeldian Soup Nazi, decide you get nothing for no reason -- or as we like to call her, the BCS. Enter the subject of Penn State. Now, JoePa may lose at Iowa and make this simpler for voters like myself everywhere. This would be fine with me, because all a fan can really root for with the BCS is chaos, chaos, and more delightful chaos. A Penn State loss clearly does this, as it leaves Texas Tech and Alabama as the only remaining major conference teams ...

Hate Penn State Week Continues

Now please disperse peacefully before we break out the water hoses and tear gas. It took dear Bob Smizik exactly 24 hours and 45 minutes to add the "but" to his "Last Laugh Goes to Joe Paterno" post from the day before. Anyone who says Joe Paterno is the greatest college football coach of all time doesn’t know what he or she is talking about. No, I'm pretty sure they know they're talking about Joe Paterno being the ...
