PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS

Although the off-field problems that hurt the Nittany Lions in 2007 are a thing of the past, the speculation about Joe Paterno's future continues. Penn State's leading rusher Rodney Kinlaw will be leaving, but sophomore running back Evan Royster should do a great job of filling in. With quarterback Anthony Morelli leaving the offense might slow down a little bit. That is not a big problem though because the defense got better with the additions of Michael Mauti, Michael Zordich Jr., D'Anton Lynn, and Michael Yancich.(What is up with Penn State and the name Michael)

Key Returns

-Sophomore Runningback Evan Royster

Last Season = 513 yards, 5 touchdowns

- Derrick Williams, Deon Butler, and Jordan Norwood could possibly be the best receiving core in the country.

Brett Favre Saga

Are you sick and tired of hearing about Brett Favre? Well, I am. Last month when Brett Favre showed interest of once again playing football people began to rejoyce. Why not? One of the greatest quarterbacks of all time was coming back. If we only knew what would come of his "return." Reportedly Brett left a voice mail on the Packer's GM's phone. But the GM happened to be on vacation so the Packers told Brett he would have to wait. The Packers showed some interest in Favre. Favre began to get angry with the Packers and said he wanted out. The Packers offered a backup role to him, which he obviously found insulting. Can you imagine Brett Favre being a backup?!?! The only options that the Packers had left was to trade or release him. They strongly did not want to release him because he could join a NFC team. That team could end up beating the Packers in the long run. Trade. Trade. Trade. Trading Brett Favre was the only option left. Just when we thought everything was going good, the Packers charged the Vikings with tampering charges. The Packers reported they traced the calls on the Packer phone they gave to Favre. But, now there are reports that Favre was not issued a phone from the Packers. Whose lying? Nobody is sure. If the Packers are lying they may have dug themselves and even bigger hole. Is this the greatest or most annoying sports story ever. Now there is a possibility that Favre could be a Buccaneer as soon as Sunday. Also, the Packers might postpone Favre's jersey retirement. Yesterday on 1st and 10 Skip Bayless said this is the greatest sports story ever. I disagree. If the Packers are going to do anything, Favre has to get reinstated.

WAKE FOREST DEMON DEACONS







Once again Wake Forest is in the hunt for an ACC Championship and BCS bowl berth. Although the Demon Deacons have had two straight winning seasons,(ACC Champs in 06) history is not on their side. Since the ACC was established Wake Forest has never had 3 consecutive winning seasons. If Wake Forest and their 15 returning starters can win a couple of key ACC games they will be in the hunt come the end of the season.
