Dog Daze of August: So Much to Write, So Little Inspiration.

There is a lot going on in the world of sports. The summer Olympics, NFL camp has opened, college football camp is in, PSU, Tebow, you name it, theres a lotta stories going on. The WVSI however is running on fumes. However, I wanted to check in and give my two cents, mabey 1 cent.
PSU- Do not be suprised if Penn State hasn't been hurt so bad they won't be competitive for the next 4 years, cause they will. Take it to the bank, PSU will not post a losing record during the sanction years. Everything coach Bill O'brian is saying is true. Every PSU home game will continue to sell-out 108,000 seats. Losing 10 scholarships isn't going to be as detrimental to  this team because coach O'brian is used to dealing with a smaller roster. He did come from the Patriots, one of the most successfull teams in the NFL. The games are still going to be televised, and the ratings will probably be better. People will be tuning in record numbers to see if they'll lose. The old addage, "no press is bad press," is absoloutley true. The kids that go to Penn State want to make the pro's and tv exposure is exactly what will get them there. Mark my words, PSU is going to have a good year.
Olympics- China is cheating as usual. Update on Mary Lou's Corvette, she has it. I've been told by good authourity she has it in storage. Michael Phelps has broken the record for cumulative medals-no suprise.
Tebow- Mark sanchez has to hate this guy. Tebow is the back up and anything he does becomes front page news. NEWSFLASH... Tebow ate a salad. Tebow took a dump. Tebow likes cheese. ESPN must have stock in Tebow, I swear it's sick.
WVU football. Early prediction for the year, 8-4, 3rd place finish in the Big 12. Plus, don't overlook Marshall in the opener. Marshall has never beaten their in-state big brother and this is their last shot for quite a while. Right now Marshall is preparing for this game like it's thier bowl game. I wouldn't be suprised at all if they pull it out. If there was ever a, "trap," game this is it.
NFL- Look out for the Steeler's. With a new offensive coordinator look for the boy's from the burgh to be hard to handle for the opposing defenses. Rothlesburger and Wallace are in the prime of thier carrers and could re-write some records this year. Mike Tomlin just got a 5 year exstension and he will show why!
To be continued......
