"Where’s the decision that we’re going to make that’s based on the Freeh report?" asks Mr. Barron, Penn State’s president. "It’s hard to see that there is one."

So President Barron, were you lying when you said you were going to review the Freeh report, or were you lying about it when you said this?

I've been watching you, not rushing to judgment on my decision to trust you or not. Some will say I'm slow, but I prefer to be certain before I write somebody off. Now I'm certain.

Why has no one had the guts...

to risk "admonishment," censure, even expulsion from the BoT by standing up in open session and being honest about what's really going on?
Hell, anyone who did that would be a hero and would galvanize the alumni to rally to their support. I believe that Larry Schultz will do that. Larry is a noun - not an adverb.

OT - Two terrific documentary films on Showtime

The Spymasters-CIA in the Crosshairs; excellent film interviewing the last 12 living CIA Directors and current state of affairs. Excellent

The Seven Five - The story of the NYPD 75th precinct and the corrupt officers who worked there in the late 80's through the 90's. Focusing on two of the officers and their criminal enterprise. Really captivating.

Both well worth watching if you find the time. Would enjoy reading what you think.

espn: Revisiting Tom Osborne's handling of Lawrence Phillips

See the link below.

"When Nebraska head coach Tom Osborne reinstated tailback Lawrence Phillips from a multi-game suspension in 1995 after Phillips had attacked his girlfriend, many writers (including me) protested with self-righteous fervor. The reinstatement seemed facile, especially as the Huskers drove to repeat as national champions. Osborne never wavered. He took the step because he thought football was the only chance that Phillips had to escape his demons. It didn’t work. Phillips flushed himself out of the NFL and landed in prison, where he died this week at 40. The more we learned about Phillips, the more I understood why Osborne didn’t take the easy way out."

What a load of crap.

Step by Step PSU is moving away from the past toward the Alabama model

....which so many of you wanted to happen in Joes last years. Part of Alabama's sucessful plan (and I believe the most important part) is over sgning and cutting players through transfers. This circumvents the 85 scholarship limit impact on a level playing field. The Alabama staff has taken the PR step of talking with the kids they recruited which failed to reach their expectations and 'doing them the favor' of advising them and helping them find a place where they get playing time. That way we get to bring in 27 or 28 a year effectively cut the 108 to 112 we look at down to the 85 best we recruited. Optimizing our chance of fielding a professional team.

Coaches come and go....they move to other places where they step into predestined success by the circumstances alredy im play thereand PSU get's to report....look how are developing coaches.

Now the next steps are....offer 300+ kids rather than 100....hire a couple dozen consultants like Haslett (our pilot consultant) to evaluate the 300+ to whittle the hoard down to 27 - 28 offers and we are on our way to changing the div 1 landscape from the big 1/and the rest to the big 2 and the rest.

Oh, I forgot 2 important things. Hire our own media mouthpieces and retire David (the Morbid Jones) and redefine how nonqualifiers qualify.

Then someday soon we can watch our players hold up the mythical NC trophy looking as unenthusiastic and bored as the professionals I watched do it the other evening after the Temple game.

Ahh God bless the NCAA and Mr Emmert for allowing these options be available to us we can rebuild quickly....and for Bama for showing us the way.

The new college game

this is the perfect example of the new college football game and why you MUST have a QB that is a multi-threat option. Clemson has less than zero running game but because Watson is such a threat, the field is wide open. And their OL isn't good. They just move the pocket on every play or he moves himself.

Can you imagine a QB like MRob with Barkley and the WRs we currently have?!!? You could have a ham sandwich playing OG and score 30 points a game.

The game has changed.
