Who will Penn State's 12th opponent in 2014 be? My money is on Syracuse

Penn State fan asks ESPN's Bob Ley if Joe Paterno faked his own death
I honestly don't even know what to say about this. A Penn State fan mailed a letter to ESPN's Bob Ley, most noted for his role as host of Outside the Lines and his soccer coverage, and asked if it was at all possible if Joe Paterno was secretly alive somewhere.
I'm used to strange mail, but this one is this year's leader in the clubhouse twitpic.com...
