First i'm not a ND fan and will be happy when they are not bowl eligible. You brought up the ND Qb's were pro busts. Since you were mentioning PSU I just pointed out there pro QB success was even worse. The fact that you were able to reference PSU qb's as USFL and XFL stars helped make my point better than I did. My sincere thanks.

I readily admitted ND qbs were better in the NFL...mentioning 3 that were HOFers near HOFers or just very good. However the most successful PSU NFL qb had quite a few problems off the field for quite awhile...Collins. So as I said success is relative. Just because Blackledge stunk in the NFL, does not mean he isn't a success in every other way. I would consider him a "successful" PSU quarterback. My post was meant to be funny. I am a Penn State grad, and I know PSU quarterbacks have not done well at the next level, and I know many PSU running backs have been complete busts also...(Blair Thomas, KiJana Carter, Curtis Enis). I was simply poking fun at my own school. Let's talk about coaches however?? I aim to please in teh sports section here!!

Are you still happy with JoePa? He is one of the 5 greatest coaches of all time, there is no debate. But his last 10 years have not been great. I sense there are a lot of PSU alum who would like to see him step down in a classy manor and not embarrass himself. He has been increasingly surly with the press and his press conferences seem less coherent.FYI-- I attend at least 2 PSU home games a year and my wife is a Penn State Alum.
