Had this immediate vision of Paterno bringing levity to a presser and pulling a Ditka from his Saints' days.   Call it a momentary lapse of reason. 

That's why you'll never hear me gripe about a thread title that creates a little mystery.

""He does a real good job," Mauti said of Evans. "He's a real good athlete. He gives us a real good look. This kid is shifty and he's making guys miss all week. Obviously, he's not going to have the blazing 10.2 100-meter speed (of Robinson), but he's shifty and he's making guys miss."

If the scout team guy is making them miss, I'm optimistic for Saturday

was using irony to critique and challenge the way that American society treats issues of race.  It's a pretty huge stretch to suggest that's what PSU was doing with the dreds wig.  I have no doubt they did mean it as a joke.  But, like, Amos 'n Andy was a joke too. That something is intended as a jok doesn't mean it can't also be offensive. (and no, I don't think this is anywhere near the level of Amos 'n Andy). 

Again, I don't think this is a huge deal.  But it does seem to me to be a bit tactless.  And with that, we're getting dangerously close to the "no politics at Mgoblog" line (if we haven't crossed it already) and should probably just agree to disagree.
