Playing Ketchup

I've been really lazy busy the past week or so, which is why I haven't been posting as often. But here's just a quick catch up session before Monday's First Look:

1. The Nittany Line has been doing a very good, very smart retrospective of Penn State's 2007 squad. The best part about it is that he's doing it unit-by-unit. This week's focus is on my personal favorite, the defensive line. Is there any other unit that has so much of an impact on a team? I mean, really, if you can't stop the other team from running the ball, you're screwed (see: Penn State 2003). I highly recommend reading TNL's work on this.

2. Bob Flounders had to pump out something this week. The offensive line will be a strength? Really? Damn people.

3. Dennis Dodd is pissing off Big Ten fans, again. And everyone else, for that matter.

4. 2theLion pointed out this week that Kansas sued (and won) a small T-shirt shop for violating copyrights on the COLOR BLUE. Yeah, it's interesting, and a bit scary that no one gives a rats ass about the First Amendment anymore.

5. And finally, Penn State's recruiting class for 2009 is looking really good. Ok, so it's not USC, Ohio State or Miami good, but you can't say these guys won't be able to win some championships in the near future. Lineman Nate Cadogan (yes, he's Gerald's brother), and wide receiver Christian Kuntz both committed to Penn State this week*. That brings the class total to 16, and it's not even August!

*I linked to BSD on these stories because there's no point in linking to the big two (Scout and Rivals) since it's old news now.

**I'd also like to remind everyone to cast your vote in the poll below the posts. And check out last week's results, too!
