Penn State finishes the season ranked #24, one up from Tennessee. The Patriot-News had a 2006 review/2007 preview today too.

Speaking of 24, Jordan Norwood is trying out for the basketball team (CDT). I’d rather he spend his time remembering how to catch a football. He led State High to a state championship. His brother, Gabe, played for Mason’s Final Four team last year.

Speaking of basketball, there are a lot of people who thought Penn State could be a a bubble team for the NCAA’s this year. Why? Anyway, a good NIT run is better than a one-and-done appearance in the NCAA’s this year anyway.

By the way, the Lady Lions stink (CDT). They lost their last player from the “Jen Harris class.” Things are not looking good for Rene Portland who still has the Harris case hanging over her head in addition to her worst stretch in her tenure. I have to wonder if Susie McConnell-Serio is waiting in the wings.
