Missouri is ready to go to the SEC, and the Big East has voted to raise exit fees as if it matters. The Big East’s floundering commissioner, John Marinatto, has a conference call with the media scheduled for today at 1:30 p.m. to discuss “current information on conference realignment,” as stated in the Big East release sent via email yesterday.
Personally I think that is great news for Temple fans, some who have this crazy mindset that Temple has a right to be invited to the Big East. And Houston as been extended an invitation to the conference, according to the Houston Chronicle.
It’s really amusing at times, but we’ll see where this all is heading. For now, here are a few Penn State links to check out, in case you missed them.

As noted last night on Twitter, wide receiver Derek Moye is listed on the injury report this week with “out” as his status. This was expected all along so nothing really ground-breaking here.

Penn State Fan Tab Confidence Rating: 64 – Nitany Lion’s Den
Yesterday we formally introduced the Penn State Fan Confidence Score, which takes a pulse of the Penn State fans about the team. When it was posted the score was at 64 but an early check this morning has the score down two points to 62. Considering the team is 6-1 I’ll admit that I’m a bit surprised at the low score, but I get it The offense has been struggling and there are some tough games ahead. Feel free to add your score to the mix as well.
