Inside PSU's Practice

I didn't find this, and it is to my eternal shame, but there is some awesome video of PSU's spring practice up at GOPSF.com. (HT: Swindle @ EDSBS). Or, you can watch if for yourself right here. It also confirms that Joe is a fiery golden god of coaching. I've said it before and I'll say it again: PSU needs to let Joe coach for as long as he wants to!

Compare and contrast, rippling young recruit: Pete Carroll, singling out defensive end/nightmare machine Everson Griffen in a meeting Tuesday, and Joe Paterno, running his 59th Spring practice, and both men's records this decade: ...

Has he decided?

We debated it earlier this year, but it is nearly official now. Joe Paterno channeled his internal Lloyd Carr and put off his contract negotiations until after the 2008 season. From where I sit, this can only mean one thing: Joe Pa is retiring at the end of this season. You heard it hear first. (Maybe not.) ...
