McCoy Rumors

It did not take long for some McCoy to PSU rumors to start. They have been around forever it seems but have just started to surface with more credability lately. Are they true? I don't know. All that I can tell you is that a source close to the situation stated LeSean McCoy and J.B. Walton have bonded. Not only on the field, but off the field while both of them attend Milford Prep.

McCoy is currently verbal committed to Miami.

Minny Game Update

The Twins have thrown an unwanted variable into the equation for PSU's schedule. The Big 10 finally gave a decision today: sort of. There are several different scenarios that could play out, however the two main parts to the story is that the game will play at the normal time or it will be played November 25th.

As a side note, if the game is moved to the 25th (which we will know by October 1st), it means PSU will get a week off before the Michigan game.
