From the article: Penn State will be without four players for its TicketCity Bowl game against Houston, among them receiver Curtis Drake, who was involved in a locker-room fight earlier this month, interim coach Tom Bradley said Tuesday. Drake, who fought with starting quarterback Matt McGloin after a Dec. 17 practice, did not make the trip for "personal reasons," Bradley said.

So...the Penn State WR who gave the Penn State starting QB a concussion has been "bowl-froze."
Also, another receiver. Same thing. (Not sure why on second receiver).
And the starting QB with the concussion...not sure if he'll start.

And this is the exemplary football program "of character" heralded by so many @ Penn State?...one where the players weren't to bear the load for what their coaches and campus officials did (and didn't) do?

This is the Bowl game -- vs. Houston -- where 99.8% of the nation is rooting for Houston.

I don't even think the scripted wrestling associations (ya know, "Big Time Wrestling") had those kind of ratios rooting against its most "villainous" wrestlers...even in its peak!

Sounds like there are plenty of potential State Penn candidates in “Gay” Valley.
