I really hate this story but it can't be let to get away. Dead or not Paterno's legacy should be reflective of the truth.

And I wonder how all the A holes who protested and rioted when Paterno was fired...I wonder how they feel now. I'd like the ESPNs of the world to go around and put a mic and camera in their faces now.

I always made fun of Paterno, but I respected him until this whole incident. If a tornado destroyed Happy Valley, no one would miss it.

Anything short of the death penalty is a joke

I saw Bielema was on the twitter complaining about Andre Ware's Top 5 list of explosive players. Ware defended his list on ESPN pretty nicely. I am thinking Wisconsin coaches should just stay away from social media.

LOL

Are those last three "just in case" rankings? If one of those teams turns out to be pretty good, they can move up fast instead of having to chug their way into the 25?

I fully expect Notre Dame to last until they reach .500 in week 6.

Herbstreit doled out his preseason watch list and predictions: http://espn.go.com/college-football/preview12/story/_/id/8284250/top-players-coaches-teams-honored-herbie-awards

Predicts Ball as POY, and MSU over UW in championship game. MSU will have a good team, but I think Michigan might be the class of that division, with Nebraska having potential to surprise.

Unless Purdue or Illinois suddenly get really good, Leaders is UW's to lose.

Herbie. LOL! Go Urb!

yeah with Penn st. and ohio st. on probation, it pretty much has to be Wisconsin winning that division. Ohio st is banned from the conference championship game too right? or is it just for the bowl game this year?

They're banned from both.

Ball won't be POY since he'll probably end up in jail. #thug4eva

Being a Michigan fan, shouldn't you hate Ohio State more than Wisconsin?

I don't hate any team except Penn State. I hope they lose 100-0 every Saturday.

And then aliens blow up Beaver Stadium and everyone of their "woe is us" fan.

Don't have to hate any team to not like them.

Gotta give everyone else grief.

Speaking of Penn St

My alma mater's football coach...my go..d what the he..ll is wrong with people.

He also coached UWEC

Well that makes sense. No Minnesotan would do anything that bad.

I hope the program gets severe sanctions.
