Paterno must face the obvious

Wed, 10 Oct 2007 16:38:34 GMT

clipped by: BobbyDelray

During his Tuesday press conference, Joe Paterno said the media are creating the perception that Penn State has an image problem.

The reality is this, though:

After an off-campus fight in April involving several players, Paterno said he wasn't tolerating this type of behavior. Since then, he's suspended two starters, with senior tailback Austin Scott being the latest last week.

Another starter, sophomore tight end Andrew Quarless, and three other players were cited for underage drinking. Two of them - freshmen Ryan Breen and Joe Suhey - were cited this past weekend.

Paterno, 80, is also looking into a situation in which two players might have been involved in a fight after Saturday's Big Ten win against Iowa.

University Park, Pa. -- After almost two years in design, development and construction, Penn State's MorningStar, an ultra-efficient solar home, will travel this week to the prestigious international Solar Decathlon. Twenty universities are entered in the U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored competition, each striving to design, build and operate the most attractive and energy-efficient, 100 percent solar-powered home possible. All the homes will be on display on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., forming a temporary "solar village" for judging Oct. 12-20

Skin: the Human Fabric

"It isn't good to take for granted something as important as skin," writes Nina G. Jablonski.

With the publication of her most recent book, Skin: A Natural History (University of California Press), Jablonski—professor and head of Penn State's anthropology department—delivers a thought-provoking remedy to our nonchalance about the human body's largest organ. Her book, which she describes as "more an idiosyncratic guidebook" than a "systematic treatise or manual" is an engaging tour of skin's evolutionary history and cultural significance.

Is the Farmers' Almanac accurate?

As anyone who's been caught in a downpour without an umbrella knows, predicting the weather is no simple task. This is especially true of long-term forecasting. Yet since 1818, the Farmers' Almanac—published annually from its Lewiston, Maine offices—has been trying to do just that for the continental United States. Can you really predict the weather a year from now?

Penn State meteorologist Paul Knight is more than a little skeptical.

STATE COLLEGE - We are months away from crowning college football's coach of the year. Let's end it right now, 2 weeks into the season. Tom Bradley is the coach of the year. Heck, give the man the hardware for the past 4 years because without him, without the Penn State defense, the Nittany Lions never get out of the dark years.

Quotes from Penn State Players after the 45-24 win over Buffalo

#40 Dan Connor
Sr./Sr., Linebacker

Q: Has this been the biggest test the defense has had all year today?
A: Yes, I think so. We knew that coming into it. The coaches knew this was a high-powered offense and a well-coached team. They had a good plan against us, attacked us, and did a great job.

Q: Was there any lack of focus with the defense in the second half?
A: Yes., I think so. We came out strong defensively. We held strong up until about the 4th quarter and then we got sloppy and gave it up. Luckily we had the offense to pick us up a little bit.

Q: How good does it feel to be 3-0 going into Michigan?
A: We were not worried about that. We knew each game required us to be focused. This is like another week for us. We just have to stay focused and go out there and win.

A Penn State contest owns the top four spots and seven of the top 10 all-time among the highest rated Big Ten football games on ESPN. The Nittany Lions' win over Michigan State during the unbeaten 1994 Big Ten Championship season remains the highest rated Big Ten game on ESPN with a 5.40 rating. The 2005 primetime battle between Penn State and Ohio State earned the conference's second-highest rating (4.91), followed by the 1994 Penn State-Indiana game (4.70), with the 1995 Penn State-Michigan State thriller (4.10) in fourth.

A Penn State game also owns the top four spots and six of the top 10 all-time among the highest viewed Big Ten football games on ESPN. The Nittany Lions' pulsating win over the Buckeyes in 2005 is the conference's highest viewed game on ESPN, as 4.435 million U.S. cable households tuned in. The 1994 Penn State-Michigan game is second with 3.397 million households, followed by the 2005 PSU-MSU contest (3.446 m.) and last week's clash with Notre Dame (3.31 m.).

It's too early for some to put a label on Penn State's defense. The term that fits best, though, is special.

Skeptics point out the 2-0 Nittany Lions have collected a pair of questionable pelts.
