JoePa should be close to Eddie Robinson's Division I record of 408 wins in November. He's starting the 2011 season with 401.

Penn State loses Massaro for the season

Penn State has already lost wide receiver Curtis Drake for the entire spring thanks to a broken tibia -- the second year in a row Drake has suffered such an injury -- though it's possible that he'll be back in time for the season. The same likely cannot be said for defensive end Pete Massaro. Massaro suffered a knee injury on Friday, and the school announced on Monday that he's torn the ACL in his left knee and his season is over.

It's a big blow to the Nittany Lions, as the team has already lost Jack Crawford and Eric Latimore for the spring, leaving the defensive line rather thin at the moment. What makes matters even worse is that Massaro was one of the most productive defensive ends Penn State had in 2010. Massaro started the last 11 games of the year, making 37 tackles along the way, including 8 tackles for a loss. He also had 3.5 sacks.

This is the second time the redshirt junior has suffered an ACL tear, tearing the ligament in his right knee during the Blue-White spring game in 2009. That injury cost him the season as well.

Cont'd ...

If anyone was looking for birthday ideas for me, nothing says Happy Birthday better than watching the Bucks beat the pussycats in The Shoe!

Wow. 16 in each pack, in a 3 pack... Enough for the first and second stringers and some of the coaches.

Last year the Bucks didn't come out ready to play in the first half and McGloin was completing everything. That guy is one of the cockiest dudes ever. I guess Tressel lost his religion in the locker room and after a couple of pick 6's by Torrence and Howard, Mr. Cocky was walking off the field with his head down. Priceless.

I admire and respect Paterno. He's a dinosaur, doesn't seem to be able to grab the best talent, and they seem to only be able to field a top 10-15 team every few years, but he does things the right way.

Bull shit. He does things the same way everybody else does. He does things the same way Bear Bryant did them.

Can you work that cool-sounding lion roar into your video?

Bull [Mark May]. He does things the same way everybody else does. He does things the same way Bear Bryant did them.

No violations of bylaw 10.1 - which is why he has been there since the Eisenhower administration. :)

I just think he is a good guy. I hope he walks away before he dies on national TV. He's a legend, and I'm going to appreciate him while I can. No one will ever be able to coach that long in one place again.
