I'm not surprised by Malkin's resurgence, at all. He's probably incredibly relieved that the only thing he has to focus on is "playing hockey," probably the number one thing that he loves in the universe. We need to remember that this is a 20 year old kid that spent the last eight months in a brand new city, with only a few people to talk to without the use of a translator (except GwennJen). Now, he finally gets to go home and play for his national squad in his nation's capitol. Any one of us would find ourselves invigorated with fresh legs if put in the same situation. The local media needs to relax and find some perspective on this one (i don't mean you, Raul).
Well, not suprised we were an (dis)honorable mention for underacheiving bball programs.
We Are.
Anyway, Joe being ranked 18th behind the likes of:
Nick Saban-Has done nothing at Bama yet.
Frank Beamer-Where has VA Tech been in the BCS picture? They've collapsed the past 2 years, and before that, to Pitt!
Steve Spurrier-Puuhhhhhleasee. stop the love fest. SC has also done jack squat since he showed up.
Dennis Erickson-Who? Arizona St.?
Kirk Ferentz-Um? I dont get the infactuation with this guy. Iowa has never been THAT good.
I understand some of the coaches like spurrier and saban are boosted by past accomplishments, but if THAT is how this clown is compiling the list, it should be Bowden 1, Paterno 2. Hes holding accomplishments to a double standard. Stupid.
Also, Rodriguez is waaayyyy to high. 3 is excessive when there are guys with multiple national titles behind him. Plus, hes turned out fine products like Pacman jones and chris henrey. Shouldnt their bad behavior be considered?
And if anyone here thinks urban meyer should be 12, then you are screwed up.
Bill Callahan at 21 is a joke.
Bret Bielama at 39 is boader line insane. Hes one of the best in the big 10.
Weis aka wuss at 42 makes me smile tho.
The stache is about where he should be.
My top 10?
1. Urban Meyer.
2. Pete Carroll
3. Jim Tressel
4. Lloyd Carr
5. Joe Paterno
6. Bobby Bowden
7. Mack Brown
8.Rich Rodriguez
9. Tommy Tuberville
10. Nick Saban
wow, i'm an unabashed PSU fan, but Paterno isn't one of the Top 5 coaches in the game (disregarding the question of how one is actually supposed to rank coaches). State's been trending downward since 2000, and it's no one's fault more than Joe's. He's given his son too much input into the offense over the last few years, and they've struggled because of it. It's scary to think where the program would be without Sandusky and Bradley. Plus, the program has become increasingly tainted by off-field problems.
I love PSU football more than just about anything, but I don't have nearly enough blind allegiance to support your claim, adam. Sorry.
a BCS win and New yEars day bowl win the past 2 years is trending downward?
I dont know about you, but these past 2 years have been one hell of a ride, and i'm already counting down the days to FLA INTL. (112 days).
Penn State is one of the favorites in the big 10 this year, and to jump off the JoePa ship now would be a mistake, just ass it was prior to 2005.
Jared is a nappy-headed ho.
Anything containing the words "Penn State" is now officially known as "Adam Bait".
Seriously, does he EVER comment on anything else? Does he even watch other sports?
