The Man, The Myth!

Joe Paterno is quite frankly the man. This is a great article about why! However, elsewhere on CNNSI they predict an upset calling for a 31-24 spartans win. This will simply not happen.
Everybody I talk to today mentions that msu is playing for a bowl berth, and it is completely true msu is playing for a bowl berth. HOWEVER, PSU is playing for the BIG TEN TITLE! The team has been focused all year and that focus will continue with lazer-like intensity on Saturday. I'm not saying the spartans are a bad team, in fact for 5-5 I think they are good but PSU has beaten better this year!
CNNSI does have a good article about the Joepa vs. Bowden battle for winningest coach. This is a great article and basically completely true.
The battle between Paterno and Bobby Bowden for the Division I wins lead doesn't get much attention because Penn State hasn't been very good lately. Paterno passed Bear Bryant in 2001. Bowden overtook Paterno during the 2003 season. Back then it seemed the two might be trading the title of "winningest coach in Division I history" several times a season. And it would have been a perfect back-and-forth because of the contrast between the two programs: Paterno's no-names-on-the-jerseys student-athletes versus Bowden's tomahawk-chopping, look-at-me pre-professionals. It's not really good versus evil, but it's close enough that if you wanted to pretend it was, you could just go ahead and enjoy yourself.
IT IS GOOD VS. EVIL! (just as it will be in a possible PSU vs. miami game!)

GO STATE!!!
