Recruiting: PSU hurt by Paterno's absence

Joe Paterno could, according to a report, help his program by being more visible in the recruiting of players. Five months ago, Penn State put the finishing touches on a strong 2010 football recruiting class that many experts ranked among the top 10 in the country. Since then, the Nittany Lions have been slow to secure prospects for their class of 2011. ... "Penn State is lagging behind this year in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Ohio, states where they are normally very strong," said national recruiting expert Tom Lemming of CBS College Sports and Maxpreps.com. ... [Paterno] has not visited a prospect since Terrelle Pryor in late January 2008 at Jeannette High School -- Pryor, the country's No. 1 recruit, eventually chose Ohio State -- and offensive coordinator Galen Hall, 69, doesn't recruit at all. "Joe Paterno is an icon, he's the biggest name in a college football," Lemming said. "If he's not out there on the road matching up against the Urban Meyers and Lane Kiffins of the world, it is not going to help your program; it is only going to hurt it. Paterno is the biggest weapon Penn State has. Kids want to see him and say he came to their house or school."

This is why I strongly suspect Paterno will eventually be embalmed. Fifty years from now, kids will be able to brag about Paterno coming to their homes.

Recruit: "Yo, man, you won't believe it. Coach Jay Paterno brought his old man to my house last week. Said they want me to be the next great linebacker!"

Friend: "I thought JoePa died like 40 years ago?"

Recruit: "Yea, he doesn't smell all that great, and one ear fell off, but he looks pretty much the same otherwise."

What a bunch of garbage. He flat out won't come down here to recruit. He's totally given up on recruiting in SEC country.

At least Ohio State sticks there neck out to Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, Orlando, Miami...etc
You might lose more battles than you win, but you truly are a nationwide program. Penn State is can no longer say this.

It's not as if there isn't a precedent for celebrities being stuffed and mounted.



Roy Rogers Auction Keeps Bullet and Trigger Together

I know for a fact that's really Trigger and Bullet. Jury's out on whether that's actually Roy or not.

OK, I admit to switching the headline to BN27's version of the story.

CBS

Navy looks to extend winning streak over the Nits in 2012

Navy, Penn State plan to renew rivalry in 2012 - (BB73 note - this is the actual headline)

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Navy and Penn State plan to renew their football rivalry in 2012.

The schools have announced they will meet at Beaver Stadium on Sept. 15, 2012, in their first game since 1974. Navy won that meeting when former Penn State assistant coach George Welsh led the Midshipmen to a 7-6 upset over No. 8 Penn State in State College.

The Nittany Lions lead the series 18-17-2. The series began in 1894 with a 6-6 tie in Annapolis, Md.

To accommodate the Navy game, a previously announced Penn State home game versus Temple for the same date has been moved to Sept. 22, 2012.
