Sean Lee ComebackWhen the Nittany Lions kick off preseason practice Aug. 10, it will have been 16 months since Lee previously took part in full-contact drills. And by the time the fifth-year senior co-captain from Upper St. Clair High School finally slips on his No. 45 jersey for the Sept. 5 non-conference opener against Akron, it will have been more than 20 months since he last played in a game.No player on Penn State's roster is more eager for the start of two-a-day practices than Lee, who had surgery to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in April 2008. Now he is a nervous bundle of energy who admits he has struggled to control his emotions. "I can't wait to be playing football again, smelling the grass in August, putting the pads on, getting the little nicks on your nose from hitting, busting your fingers a little bit," he said. "I just am ready to go through it again. "Whenever I look at the [preseason] magazines or anything college football, thinking about the season, I get hyped up, worked up. Sometimes, if College Football Live is on [ESPN], I have to change the channel because my adrenaline starts running so much." Lee, 6 feet 2, 236 pounds, was primed for a big senior year last season. As a junior, he was named a first-team All-American by Pro Football Weekly and finished second in the Big Ten Conference in tackles (138) behind former teammate Dan Connor. Lee also was named defensive MVP of the Alamo Bowl in December 2007 and NFLDraftScout.com ranked him as the top outside linebacker in the 2009 NFL draft, as well as the No. 6 player overall. But those projections were cast aside when Lee was injured while blitzing quarterback Daryll Clark in a scrimmage April 11, 2008.Penn State's Sean Lee, right, with Maurice Evans during a football practice at State College in March of 2008.

Try this. Go a month without watching ESPN. Find your sports fix in other places. MLB channel, NFL channel, Fox Sports, SI.com, Satellite radio etc... See if you are a more informed sports fan for doing so. PS You are going to miss some TO, Farve and Ochocinco stories, but you might just make it.

For what its worth, I attend a certain training camp in Latrobe every year and they use watches and air horns. They seem to have good success with it. I see a couple hardhats moving around on a Saturday morning.

Nice job AZB!

Nice job JZ84. Only problem I can see, the originator of the song went to Ken+ State.I actually watched a recent movie last night that he did the soundtrack for.

They are Mack Rhoades seats.

Selling two tickets for $500 to watch Morgan State play in this economy = salesman of the year.

Nice job Rowdy.

One, Zeke is a top recruit. Two, he seems to be a good person. Three, we get "exclusive" updates here at ZN. Four, I have his autograph already. When you add up all these things, Zeke may be my favorite Zips athlete and he hasn't even played a game for us yet!Seriously, great article. Thanks for posting.

Information Coming Soon??? Let's go already!

Like most answers...$money$Eastman and Beaudine is the recruiting firm that is helping.This article does not bode well for Hunter.''I have charged the search committee with the responsibility of conducting a national search and evaluating the applicants,'' Proenza said, ''with the goal of recommending . . . the final candidates who are best equipped to advance our athletics programI believed this statement since Mack announced he was leaving.

I expect the same, IF the Zips can stop the run early, I would hope to make a game out of it.

Personally, I'm tired of playing the Big Ten, I would welcome playing teams like Wake and NC. Yes, I realize the pay day thing. Doesn't change my thoughts though. Big Ten is boring football IMO, and we can't stop pound it up the middle teams with our stack. Don't we get blasted enough with B10 on tv around here?!?! I went down to FLA last year for an NFL game and got to watch three great college football games on tv the day before, I forgot how fun college football is to watch on tv living in NEO.

With the amount of work they have done on these, they will be the nicest stairs in all of football!?!

That's kind of the point.So you want to market "zip?" and when people google it and don't come up with The Akron Zips, and that's the point?I like our current marketing plan compared to that one.

I hydroseeded my yard last year this time, it still isn't ready to have a party on. Next year.I don't have a watering system though, I had to water by hand. So if they seed, it may look okay, but I would guess nobody would be able to walk on it this year.It usually takes about a month for sod to take root with proper watering.

I would be surprised if they didn't lay down sod.

Whack!

Buy.

ESPN doing what they do best...

If JD decides to run the stack against Royster & Company, it will be 'Roos Choose to Lose'

Where's the plea bargain?

Dude can catch a ball in traffic. I like his slant route too. Seems like he has a pretty good QB too.
