I hope I don’t jinx anything, but do I detect that this Penn State team is getting serious about playing football? With the SSMNC game a distinct possibility, is the farting around, partying, pot smoking, and underage drinking giving way to a nose to the grindstone work ethic? Has peer leadership finally gained a firm foothold?

I can’t answer any of these questions myself. ????? ????? ?? ???????? However, the evidence suggests that the answers are all affirmative. ??? ???? ????? It’s damn well time these kids realized what a privilege it is to play for Penn State. ????? ??? ???? Maybe it has finally sunk in.
