Links Roundup

First, we’d like to give a quick thank you to the four blogs you see listed on our sidebar. They’ve welcomed us to the blog community with open arms, and we appreciate it very much. Special thanks to The Nittany Line and Zombie Nation, who both took the time to write a post about us, which was awesome. Make sure to check them all out because they’re all great blogs with unique views on PSU.

Next, despite the calls for bad weather, we are really looking forward to this weekend. It will be WWTL’s first big tailgate of the season, and we’re looking forward to another dominating performance from the blue and white. We’ll have the game preview later in the week, but until then, here are some links to some Penn State news, as well as some news from around college football world.

The Daily Collegian ran a story yesterday stating that Penn State student tickets will go paperless, starting next season. Students will have to swipe their ID cards to get into the games. They can sell their tickets to other students and transfer the tickets using an online system. Why should you care if you’re not a student? If you’re a couple years removed from school like we are, that means you’re probably sitting with the old people the rest of your life. -The Collegian-

In the polls, Penn State has risen three spots to #19 in both the AP and Coaches rankings. -Sportsline-
Here’s a quick shout-out to Tennessee, Virginia Tech and Clemson for being so nice and letting us climb in the polls. Can we all agree that ACC teams should not be ranked in the preseason polls from now on? Good, glad we got that settled.

Also, it turns out that Daryll Clark will be eligible for another season next year. If he’s great this year, then this is potentially good news. But will Devlin stay around, or transfer to a place with more playing time? It’s too early to say at this point, as both are expected to continue playing this season. -E!SPN-

And in the least surprising story of the century, there was a police visit to an apartment of Penn State football players last night. And oh yeah, the police confiscated some weed. We were woefully behind on this story, so we send you to Black Shoe Diaries for the details. -BSD-

What kinda of injury does Beanie Wells have exactly? His mom says it’s his toe, while Tressel acts like he’s surprised to hear that Wells is injured at all. -Columbus Dispatch-
If the guy’s even questionable, why the hell would’ve they even THINK about playing him this week against Ohio U with USC looming next week? Whatever, we hope they give it a go.

It’s 5 o’clock and Pitt’s offense still sucks. -Pittsburgh Trib-

We tried to gather some news about Oregon State’s thoughts on this week’s game, but our heads exploded when we saw their site. -Beavers-

And finally, here’s a fun one. A skydiver was supposed to deliver the gameball to the UNC game Saturday, but dropped in on Duke’s game instead. Whoops. -E!SPN-

Here's the YouTube. Just ignore the more info thing, it's some stupid ad on the actual YouTube page.
