They're seeded higher. If we were seeded higher and didn't get a home game because someone draws more fans than us, we'd be angry as well. They should get the home game, they earned it and we didn't.

I don't think I've ever seen a fanbase that thinks there is such a rampant conspiracy against them.

They're dumb. I did a semester in Australia and they have them instead of 4 way stop signs. It's nice to never really stop but they're just annoying/confusing

So we finally get that big OOC win against a good team...and boom. Losses to stinkin Valpo and Duquesne. Good teams, but still. Disappointing.

We stink coming out of the half.

27-3? this is pathetic. Ianello has to go. We've gotten worse every game.

It can get worse, and it can create a mess that even a great coach down the road wouldn't be able to come in here and clean up. I guess. We can win 1 or 0 games in a two year span instead of 2...If they can be 8 all conference guys, I don't care how bad they hate each other. How many all-conference players do we have now? At least they like each other right? Low-risk, high-reward, imo. Although I will say this- it's only a short term fix. Someone needs to figure out a way to sustain some success.

I'm sorry, and I respect your opinion as a former player, but it can't get worse.

Student attendance is good, they just don't sit down low. I won't start an argument on why that is, but there's plenty of students at each basketball game.

Not to be contrary, but Pauley is getting renovated, so they're playing in the LA Sports Arena this year.

Yes, the chemistry we have going right now is producing at the highest level. **** the locker room, let's try and get some wins.

If I was a coach, you couldn't pay me to play at 8 or 6 AM just to get on ESPN.

Sandusky is doing a phone interview on NBC at 10 with Bob Costas

Paterno's name removed from the B1G championship trophy

Cleveland State punched an over rated Vanderbilt in the mouth. To be fair, Vandy played without their All-American point guard. Still, an excellent win for CSU. Ball State nearly punched out Arizona having led most of the game. That would have given the MAC two road wins over SEC teams. BGSU struggled against SEC team Georgia and pulled close at the end. If BGSU and Ball State capture victories the MAC would have a great RPI. Darn, there's that old woulda, coulda, shoulda. Dream on Zips. Zona is in the PAC-12. Still would have been a nice win...better than the SEC.

The Judge who set bond at 100K unsecured (he doesn't pay unless he doesn't show up) was a 2nd Mile volunteer. sheesh. The prosecutors wanted 500K and an ankle bracelet since he was a flight risk. This is all messed up. The Patriot News will also have a story Monday on why it took so long for this to actually happen http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf..._report_co.html

I post on a pittsburgh penguins board a good bit, and am the resident Akron fan there. Someone commented on the game to me.. "What about your Zips? That was a sweet road win over Miss St. They have the look of a Top 25 team. I will probably go see them play WVU later this month." Nice to see a little respect from people who aren't Akron fans.

One of the victims' mothers is saying the police told her not to speak with reporters...this was in 98 i believe.

lol really? What did MSU think we were doing at practice, playing tiddly winks?

paterno and spanier are out.

JoePa did everything he was legally required to do. But as a man who preached the Penn State Way, always doing the honorable thing, and morality above all else...he failed. Legally he was right, but morally, way off. Tell someone Joe, this was bigger than a football program.This is the quote behind his statue outside Beaver Stadium... "They ask me what I'd like written about me when I'm gone. I hope they write I made Penn State a better place, not just that I was a good football coach."

Nothing surprises me when it comes to college athletics.You'd be amazed at the amount of crimes that were reported as soon as the AP opened in State College. JoePa ran the whole town until then, including his newspapers. He isn't the sweet old guy that everyone would want you to think.

Exactly. No one wanted to be the one to bring PSU and JoePa down. Going the whole way from McQueary to JoePa himself to Curley/Spanier/Schultz the whole way to the DA who decided not to pursue the case when he had a confession from Sandusky.Ray Gricar, this DA, went missing in 05...talk about a weird twist that hasn't been talked about much.

Tell that to Notre Dame.They're allowed to be independent. They just can't join another conference for football so long as they're in the Big East for everything else.You didn't mention independence."If your primary conference sponsors a sport that your school also sponsors, then you must participate within your primary conference for that sport."

Tell that to Notre Dame.
