See see!!! I give Wanny credit for following through on his evaluation of why his team gave up 800 yards of rushing to WVU.

Go ahead, respond with comments about "alleged" sexual assualt, for this guy put it best:

One Friday, they ran up the hill from Second Avenue across the Swinburne Bridge into Oakland. Another time, they ran the steps inside the Cathedral of Learning -- all 36 floors -- twice. One time, they showed up at 5:30 a.m., only to be told to run down the walking path next to the Monongahela River, even though it was dark and cold. Their instructions were to keep running until they ran into the other coaches -- who were a few miles down the path.

The only other rule is that coaches can't ride the buses because Wannstedt said: "I want the players to be able to grumble about it and air their grievances, and they won't do that with coaches around. Open communication is a good thing, it really helps bring players closer together."

Last Friday, about 85 players ran up the steps -- one player counted somewhere in the neighborhood of 180 -- from the bottom of University Avenue to the top despite a chilling wind. They did that 10 times, while injured players who can't run, did their crunches and sit-ups and stretches on the sidewalk at the bottom.

"Occassional Crime Story?" out State College. Now that is funny. I recall a stabbing death and now sexual assault to add to the long list over the past couple of years. It is funny how the victim was conveniently out of state until the player's career was completed.

I think it is funny how Palko says after the Fiesta Bowl the team felt they could just show up and win!

Didn't they lose the Fiesta Bowl by something like 40???????

It's called an offseason conditioning program. should I make a topic called"penn state players learning to seminole" yeah that's right you beloved righteous Penn State is looking more and more like the seminoles.seems that the team cannot handle one winning season in the new millenium, instead of parlaying the winning year into more success they are turning themselves into the "bandits in white"

Step foot inside an english class @ your beloved PITT University. Maybe that will make your posts more legible.

No, I'm trying to help d-nice. He is an idiot. And as much as I don't like Pitt, it's a hell of an academic school.

That's my boy D-Nice, yall haters leave him alone. His stances make him one of the best posters on this site, so back up or get smacked up.

Frosty, I see they are runnin' faster but what about tacklin' good???? Maybe that's next year's conditioning program.

We're pretty far away from FSU status, guys. I know there's some shady stuff in State College, but let's not get carried away. Plus every team in the SEC is worse than Penn State.

A COUPLE OF YEARS!!! If there has only been that little bit of crime in a couple of years then PSU is doing great. That's a pretty good rate if you ask me. I'm sure every large university has had some stabbings and most definitely sexual assaults.
