PSU Football - A Complete and Utter Disgrace

17 — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 14:35:43 GMT

If you hadn't heard before going ...

A Simple Question to Ponder on LOI Day Eve

AIW-HS — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 15:29:00 GMT

As LOI Day is upon us a simple question has come to mind that will likely help us explain Penn State's relative lack of recruiting success this year. Head Coach Joe Paterno has made exactly one off campus visit to a recruit this year (the publicity laden visit to Terrelle Pryor last week). Offensive Coordinator Galen Hall has made zero off campus visits to recruits this year.

Here is the simple question: Can anyone anywhere name ...

Who is Ted Sarniak?

Greeny1 — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 10:01:57 GMT

According to a recent article by Scout network's Adam Jardy, a Jeanette businessman named Ted Sarniak was reportedly spotted having dinner with Ohio State coaches in Jeanette.
