City Looks At Raising Money for Services<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
\n
Mayor Tries to Counter Objections to Stadium<\/b>
\n
Details on how ballpark proponents are trying to win council members over on the ballpark plan. Our hero, Jack Evans<\/strong> (Ward 2) says “if everyone knew all the facts, they wouldn’t be against this.” If that is so, get the facts out Jack! I want the whole council saying, “and that’s a fact, Jack,” when you are done.<\/p>\n

Tom Knott<\/strong> – Follow suburban dollar, not ballpark bawler<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
\n
Another argument for the ballpark from columnist Tom Knott<\/strong>, this time in the metropolitan section. “The ballpark is the dollar-seeking carrot dangling in front of the suburbanites. Otherwise, the suburban dollar just could wind up going to a TGIF in a strip mall beyond the Beltway.”<\/p>\n

On another note, the quote from a “new Black Panther” may get Knott in trouble, since he does not do much to identify which new Black Panther said it. I doubt Knott cares though. He should have provided the source.<\/p>\n

O’s-Washington Games Unlikely in ’05<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i>
\n
What a shame, though not surprising. This will just make it that much more intense in 2006.<\/p>\n
Ehrlich satisfied state, O’s are OK<\/b><\/a> – The Sun<\/i>
\n
Ultimately, I do not think there will be much attendance dropoff and not all of Angelo$ terms will be needed. Of course, he may get them anyway.<\/p>\n
\n

ONLY TWO DAYS UNTIL KICKOFF<\/h2>\n

PSU athletics’ goal: $100 million<\/b><\/a> – CDT<\/i>
\n
That’s a lot of money and if they do not start playing better football, they will be hard pressed to get it, methinks.<\/p>\n

Nittany Lion defense searching for remedy to third-quarter woes<\/b><\/a> – CDT<\/i>
\n
The defense has been pretty solid, except for the first drive of the third quarter on the road. Very odd. They have a tall order on Saturday.<\/p>\n
QBs enter Saturday’s game with contrasting success<\/b><\/a> – CDT<\/i>
\n
Zack Mills (8 INTS) vs. Kyle Orton (0 INTS). It looks quite lopsided, but I think Orton will be picked at least once.
