Paul Jones might not be a Nittany Lion anymore
StateCollege.com’s Nate Mink tweeted earlier that Paul Jones was not with the rest of his Penn State teammates. It was just one practice that he missed…didn’t sound like a big deal. But here we are five hours later and it’s looking more and more like Mink’s source was right about the Nittany Lions losing their backup quarterback and tight end.

Chillax: McJones is not going to be McBolden
Bill O’Brien seems to be taking the Herb Brooks approach to coaching because he doesn’t seem to have a problem pissing people off…guess if everyone’s pissed at him, they won’t have time to be pissed at the football team? Something like that. His newest move has the same people pissed that were tilted because he was adding names to the jerseys.

He talked about how he knows he’s not going to be Joe Paterno - that was pretty obvious from...
3-way PSU QB race heads into offseason

Keeping (grades) up with Jones
Paul Jones walked into his apartment, headed to his room and fell lifelessly onto the bed. His bag, thrown on the floor surrounded by mangled laundry, crumpled papers and empty Gatorade bottles. Practice ran late and he knew he had to wake up for a 7 a.m. workout the next morning, but couldn’t resist to get a few rounds of NBA 2K12 in on his Play Station 3 with his roommates...
