PENN STATE SIGNS UP FOR THREE MORE YEARS OF JOEPA

From the News of the Unreal Department comes this nugget: Penn State has signed coach Joe Paterno to a three-year contract extension that keeps him there through 2011 (unless he gets a huge offer from, say, Michigan to buy him out and replace Rich Rodriguez).

The 82-year-old Paterno brings quite the resume to Happy Valley: 383 wins (most all-time), 23 Bowl game wins (also the most all-time), two National Championships, and three Big Ten Championships. Gene Chizik, he is not.

Interesting decision by the powers that be at State College. But I wonder, what's a loyal guy like longtime assistant Tom Bradley thinking right now?
