Penn State Football Media Guide–Not this Year?


I got this in an email this morning, and I am outraged.  We need to let the University know how we feel about this decision.  It is OUR media guide, and OUR record, and OUR history!!  And the NCAA can’t take that away from us!

“I was wondering why I hadn’t received my media guide this year, so I called the office this AM.  I was dismayed at the response.

 The media guide WILL NOT be distributed, not at all, this year.  While it had in fact been printed, there were ‘inaccuracies’ (as the lady delicately put it).  I said, oh you mean the players who transferred late, and she said, yes, that’s part of it, but it was also some statistics that needed to be corrected. 

 It took me a couple nano-seconds to realize what she was talking about.  I told her that my two cents was to keep all those facts and figures in there, and if they felt they HAD to caveat it, then do so…..but KEEP THOSE RECORDS STATS INTACT.  She (surprisingly) told me that’s the universal feeling, not just among callers but there on the staff too, but…..”

Call to Action for Joe Paterno Legacy


I would like to offer my support to the following cause:

Joe Paterno, in a lifetime of giving to others to make them better people, has affected more people than probably any other coach that ever lived. He not only affected his players, but he affected scholars, made athletes scholars, and made the rest of us who were not athletes better because of what he expected of us. He expected nothing but perfection. I would like to think that is what the Big 10, who excels in academic excellence as well as athletic excellence would want to be represented in its championship trophy. Therefore, I believe that trophy should be named after him, representing the best of everything in the Big 10 conference.

Send an email to ddietz@bigten.org  Be nice, and also be sure to sign the petition at change.org, see link below:
