*Florida beats FSU: "This mangled one-eared pit bull of a team with vertigo, oil in its fur from sleeping beneath the car and none of its shots is 11-1."
(SBNation's Spencer Hall)

*Florida has wins at A&M, vs. LSU, vs. South Carolina, at FSU. Only loss by 8 to third-ranked team. Often ugly ... but mostly effective. (ESPN.com's Travis Haney)

*Penn State ends with a W: Well, that is sure as hell the weirdest and most compelling 8-4 football season I've ever seen. (Grantland's Michael Weinreb)

*The chaos-lover in me wants ND to lose. As someone who wants to watch the BCSNCG, I can't root for an all-SEC game. What to do?

Sandusky's Final Desecration on 9/10/12 | Tipped by Quickish |
#jerry sandusky +4
This was Sandusky bathing them in his narcissism, reminding everyone, and his victims in particular, that when he leans back on that prison bed, no matter how thin the mattress, uncomfortable the conditions or inedible the lunch, no can stop him from reliving it all. He wanted them to know: They'll remain his. Forever. That part of Touchdown Jerry, clad in red, remains safe and secure. Dan Wetzel(via Yahoo Sports) , adding: "The only hope is that it wasn't effective, that it won't stick with those frightened kids who became powerful men, and that the hateful, harmful words of Jerry Sandusky just drifted off into the Bellefonte air, soon to be forgotten like the shrinking pathetic man they took away on Tuesday to die."

This just gets more and more fun. (Grantland's Michael Weinreb)

Poor, poor [Penn State kicker Sam] Ficken. Left 13 pts on the board in 17-16 loss. Of course, O'Brien could have tried for a few more yds to get him closer.
(PresnapRead.com's Paul Myerberg)

Fortunately Sam Ficken is a student at a campus that has rediscovered value of perspective over slavish devotion to football. He'll be fine.

On the Scene: Penn State on 4/9/12 | Tipped by Quickish |
#penn state +4
The fact is, there wasn't a single moment walking around Happy Valley on Saturday when I wished that the cold hand of NCAA bureaucracy would wipe all this away. Drew Magary(via GQ.com) , who went to Happy Valley for this weekend's season opener, adding: "Something tells me a lot of people here don't want Joe Paterno defined by child molestation because they don't want to be defined by child molestation. This place has essentially been branded the Child Rape Capital of America. Would you be happy if it were your hometown? Isn't having Mike McGloin as your QB punishment enough?"

"One game. That's all it is. I gotta do a much better job. We gotta coach better, we gotta play better, and we've got to stick together. Nobody ever said it was going to be easy. Nobody ever said anything was easy. That's one game. We learn from our mistakes in that game, and we move on to Virginia. We keep doing things the right way." Bill O'Brien(via Ivan Maisel/ESPN.com) , in his locker-room speech after Penn State lost its opener of the post-Paterno era to Ohio University.

After the game, after O'Brien blamed himself over and over again for his first loss as a head coach, a reporter asked him what he thought "Joe" would have thought of this game. O'Brien peered at the questioner from under the brim of his cap and said, "I have no idea." Eric Adelson(via Yahoo Sports)

*Penn State loses. I think we'll say that a lot the next few years.
(ProFootballTalk's Michael David Smith)

*Meanwhile, PSU is at Virginia next week. Big challenge for O'Brien to avoid 0-2. (SI.com's Stewart Mandel)

*Seriously, congrats, Ohio. Downhill to 12-0. Just don't trip.

Posnanski on Paterno on 16/8/12 | Tipped by Quickish |
#joe paterno +4
No, I don't feel about Joe Paterno the same way I did when I started writing the book. But I don't feel about him the way his most blistering critics feel. He was a human being, filled with ideals and flaws, honesty and hypocrisy, charity and selfishness, modesty and the refusal to abdicate his throne. There was little simple about him. I chased the complicated story of a man and his long life. Joe Posnanski(via USA Today) , on his complicated relationship with the biography he wrote about Joe Paterno, which began before the Sandusky scandal started and was filed before the full scope of the punishments were meted.

[The day after being fired], Paterno met with his coaches at his house. He sobbed uncontrollably. This was his bad day. Later, one of his former captains, Brandon Short, stopped by the house. When Brandon asked, "How are you doing, Coach?" Paterno answered, "I'm okay," but the last syllable was shaky, muffled by crying, and then he broke down and said, "I don't know what I'm going to do with myself." Nobody knew how to handle such emotion. Joe had always seemed invulnerable. On Thursday, though, he cried continually. "My name," he told Jay, "I have spent my whole life trying to make that name mean something. And now it's gone." Joe Posnanski(via GQ)
