The Morning After: December 17, 2008
Goooooooooooood Mooooooooooring!
You’ve got 8 more shopping days til Christmas, 4 til Hanukkah, and 3 more years of Joe Pa in Happy Valley. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan the ol’ man, but this isn’t what Penn State fans wanted is it? Consider this. Joe Pa is 81 years old, when he ends this contract he’ll be 84. It’s not a question of WILL HE RETIRE, but more like WILL HE MAKE IT. (I know too easy, I’ll get better)
Well the world wide leader is at it again. Playing up a situation in Dallas where there is really nothing there.
Oklahoma starting running back Demarco Murray is out for the BCS Championship Game…while…
Florida Offensive Coordinator and newly hired Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen will call plays in the National Championship game. The question remains, how committed will he be?
Another person joins the I hate Rich Rodriguez bandwagon. Michigan defensive coordinator Scott Shafer has quit after one season. It’s not like he did all that well in the position though.
Buffalo keeps Turner Gill around for at least one more season, but I wouldn’t expect him there much longer than that. Louisville, Arizona, WVU, and Virginia could all be open next year.
I fine Irish man Padraig Harringtonis your PGA golfer of the year, and he’s thanking Tiger for getting injured as we speak.
The Pro Bowl rosters were announced. In other news, this is the last time you’ll see anything pertaining to the Pro Bowl being newsworthy on S&F. (Unless of course there is a severe career ending injury…or Bill Belichick is eaten by a shark) And your snubs (who will be added to the roster in the next few weeks)
What if I told you they’re making a swimming video game? You’d:
a) Call me a liar
b) Beat me up
c) Scream like a girl
d) All of the Above
Well I’ve got news for you.Michael Phelps ‘10 on your favorite vidya’ game console.
Hasn’t this been the most boring hot stove ever? Well it’s about to heat up. Mark Teixeira says he’s making his decisionsoon. Word has it, it’s between the Angels and Sox, with the Orioles and Nationals as an outside shot.
Manny to the Yankees is gaining some steam. Like a fart in the wind. (I just wanted to say that)
Meanwhile, the Braves brought Rafael Furcal back at a hefty price. The Braves haven’t been the same since he left.
As if we needed more reason to believe that bowling 300 is too easy. Way too easy. At least chest hair is making a comeback
Man burglarizes a house. Decides to cover tracks by setting fire to the house. Burns himself to death. Scoreboard!
I fell asleep before the end of this game but congrats to the Tennessee Vols for winning the big intersectional game in Nashville last night. If there is ONE thing I learned it’s SEC > Big East.
…and to the Lakers, who pulled one out against the Knicks.
Don’t forget to sign up for the Sparty and Friends Bowl pick’em(pw: spartans) and The Big Lead’swhich unlike ours, has a prize. The first bowl game is Saturday, so get crackin!

What we need is Bowling Linebacker Terry Tate. I’d like to see someone bowl a 300 with him in their grill.

Alyssa Milano interview would have been better than Marbury. At least she can play defense.

snowed last night here, should be melted by noon. what a great game last night. The Spartans didn’t trail at any point, and just took care of business while Mateen Cleaves got his ankle re-taped after being attacked by future felon Teddy Dupay.

The snow last night is melting in the rain. Very slick conditions here on Long Island. I used to love the cross country skiing in the winter when I lived in Syracuse. At least here on LI I can cycle outdoors through most of the winter.

I don’t mind riding in the winter, although it was a chilly 39 yesterday when I rode. As long as it’s not raining.

The Laker’s are getting too lucky now. There were good the first few games, but they need to get their defense consistent if they want to knock off the WCBBBC.

We went to the Final Four with him, what’s your point? if you said Marcus Taylor,who like an idiot, bailed on us and left us without a PG for 3 years, then I would have been upset.

i dont think the lakers play defense well enough to beat the BBWCBC (/correct’d)
in fact, i say that if the lakers dont pick up a defender at some point during the season that they will be swept this time by the BBWCBC
and I am a laker fan…but i have stopped drinking the kool aid with all of these come from behind wins….the celtics arent the knicks

Hopefully they’re not thinking about picking up Marbury on the cheap. I was kinda hoping for Artest this last summer.

You are wrong. More JoePa is what Penn State fans want. In my eyes as long as he’s in good health he should coach as long as he wants to. And aside from the hip thng which has been repared he’s in great health. He’s not hurting the program and the kids still love him

Johnny,
One of my best friends is a PSU alum, I remember 2 years ago sitting next to him in class and he (and whatever message board he was looking at) all wanted Joe Pa gone.
Things are great when PSU is 11-1, but 2 more 9-4 seasons and Joe Pa is too old to coach again…

So…JoePa getting an extension is a situation in Dallas?

And so it is.
It took 2 1/2 hours for someone to point that out. I’ll fix it when I get a sec.

a three year extension is most likely a lifetime deal for JoePa.

That’s strange as the majority of people I’m connected to do want him. those 9-4 seasons had less to do with him but with Morelli and if the alumi did blame a paterno it was Jay and not Joe durning those times

I can’t believe Josh Cribbs got snubbed and all of the “Snubbed” articles don’t even mention him! Poor guy gets ignored because he’s a Fudgie. Sure he’ll get the complimentary “add”, but this is ridiculous.

Congrats to Welker making the pro-bowl, 102 catches with two big games left.
Boo for Farve making it over Rivers and Cassell. I guess those 17 picks were counted as votes and that pushed him over the top

As usual, way late to the game (seeing as though I never get up before noon), but I agree 100% with sae. The F’n union is going to tell “Tex” where he ends up playing, just like CC Sabathia. No one is going to convince me that the Yankee’s were the team he really wanted to play for.
