Re: The plague of free throw shooting

I really like the second graph you got here. It's nice to see a comparison between the number of missed free throws and the margin of loss. I have stopped watching Penn State games since 06 with the exception of a couple games during last season's magical run. It was just too embarrassing to watch our team constantly throw up bricks at the charity line when the game is on the line or we were holding onto a slim lead only to give it away at the line. How does Ed not force his players to shoot free throws until they bleed?

Penn State wins the Lambert Trophy for a record 28th time. Penn State took the top spot over Cincinnati, Pitt and West Virginia. Take that Big East!

Good pick of Levi Brown. He has been a rock at Penn State and now in the pros.

You think? Last inside rivalry stunt was done by Sue Paterno. That just doesn't look like Sue to me. Could be a fraternity prank though. Still think it's a Gopher fan

I agree, you should switch Missouri and Nebraska at the #16 and #20 spots. USC and Ohio State should be higher up than Boise too

I'd kill myself if I ever grew up in that show. So fortunately no.

Way to go Penn State! DeChellis does it the right way and you can only be happy for his success

Re: Numbers, Polls and Voters: Week 5

Agreed. The blogpoll reflects people who probably watch alot more games than reporters covering specific conferences or teams, but AP voters are actually getting paid. Their votes should be taken more seriously. I can forgive voters for moving teams back above/below others that have beaten them in weeks past if they earn an impressive victory or suffer a humiliating upset like Miami/Georgia Tech or USC/Ohio State, but not the week immediately afterwards unless the underdog is clearly not Top 25 material. But leaving Iowa below Penn State is plain stupid. They either didn't watch the game, or didn't do their research.

I like the Lion logo in between Penn State.

I agree with you on most of them except Michigan State. If last week was any reflection that this team is still the John L Smith Spartans, they will come out and romp Notre Dame this saturday.
