Who Coaches Penn State?

1. Ohio State's offense looks like Jim Tressel draws it up in the dirt, so I wasn't all that surprised to see Penn State win. That said, who actually coaches Penn State? I'm not being facetious or hateful. I think this is a legitimate question. To believe that the game passed Joe Paterno by for nearly a decade only to have him take the college world by force with a 30-years delayed view of playing freshmen and a modernized offense is pure folly. So is it coaching by committee? Is there an assistant head coach that's really running the game.? Does JoePa gameplan? I can't imagine Joe Paterno burning the midnight oil at the office trying to scheme against Lloyd Carr when he could be at home eating a Werther's Original and cleaning the gnats off his lenses. If anyone has the answer to this question, I'd really like to know. As far as I'm concerned, he's nothing more than a figurehead.
2. Aside from being the "greatest story in the world" (Phil Fulmer's words, not mine), we all need to congratulate Tennessee quarterback, Rick Clausen, on being named "Vols Scholar Athlete of the Week." It's been a long, arduous road for Clausen who, after graduating last December, now masters the daunting challenge of "Recreation & Leisure Studies," which is likely Vol for "watching NASCAR while getting blown."
3. While watching the Houston-Atlanta series over the weekend, I realized that Astros' Outfielder, Lance Berkman, looks like Kelly Clarkson of American Idol fame.
   
4. You'd think someone would issue a red card just for the hazard.
