The annual big tease began yesterday with Joe Paterno’s first spring press conference which you can watch online through goPSUsports.com (Windows Media). The Post-Gazette has the transcript.

Paterno looks and sounds good and no bombshells were dropped. The QB job is Michael Robinson’s to lose, but as of now Anthony Morelli will not be redshirted.

    2 football players charged in incidentThe Collegian
    Two senior players, G Tyler Reed and DL Scott Paxon were charged with minor offenses after shooting arrows from a hunting bow into a dorm wall. While this minor, it is still pretty stupid and not appropriate behavior from people who should be team leaders. Paterno is going to wait and see what happens before he deals with them.
