| To the people that want Penn State to play a tougher pre-conference schedule ... shut up. . I'd rather be 4-0 playing home games against the Washington Generals and the Steelton YMCA, than 2-2 playing home & home against heavyweights. . I feel a whole lot better on Saturday evening having just routed Creampuff State, than I do losing to Alabama or Texas. The "business" of college football has become get to 10 W's and hope for a January 1 payout. Bring on the Generals! |
