Take Out The Papers And The Trash



It's hard to imagine college football without JoPa roaming the sidelines. Last season Penn State's icon suffered a broken leg late in the season on a sideling play. The always rough , tough and rugged JoPa nearly had to be forced off the field. He limped off on his own power and into the locker room. Following positive xrays, the coach had to coach the final season game and the bowl game from high above in the coaches booth. This season JoPa's back in the news as he is as disciplined as ever. Nice to see these principle's still existent in today's society.Following a brawl at an off campus apartment complex, involving nearly 15 Penn State football players (2 of which face criminal charges) JoPa has stated that
the Penn State football team will clean Beaver Stadium after each home football game this fall. It'll gather garbage, sweep stairs and maybe even hose parts down. This task is normally done by the club sports teams to raise money. They will still get paid.

Pac Ten Baseball Update




With their second consecutive conference sweep, the Sun Devils clinch at least a tie for the pac ten conference championship. The Devils swept Oregon State this weekend and lead the pac ten by 3 games over archrival Arizona, and the two teams meet this weekend in Tempe. The teams have split their two previous games this season. The Sun Devils will most definately host a regional, and with a series win this weekend, the Devils may very well end up with a top 8 national seed, thus securing a super regional bid as well. Arizona is currently in second place in conf 3 games back from the Devils. UCLA, is in third. The Bruins and the Cal Bears remain on the bubble for postseason. The Beavers will most likely get in despite their poor conf record. For a list of the conf standings, click here.
