I had to take a car in for an engine check yesterday and got thrown off my game like an Anthony Morelli pass. So let’s get back to it today.
No time to mess around, so let’s get right down to business. First, if you missed it, I joined the Men of the Scarlet and Gray podcast to talk about Penn State’s recent recruiting class, how Penn State dominated the state, Twitter beefs and best cheesesteaks in Philly and more. Check it out, and also get a dose of Michigan commentary if interested.
In news you may have missed, Bill Parcells says he was contacted by Penn State to gauge his interest in taking over the program following the dismissal of Joe Paterno. Also, Penn State saw attendance rise in James Franklin’s first season on the job.

On the trail, Penn State has extended an offer to a three-star linebacker out of Georgia, Emanuel Bridges. Bridges recently de-commited from Tennessee.
Two-Minute Drill
Michigan got a nice endorsement from none other than Jameis Winston… Some storylines to pay attention to around the country this spring… Madtown Badgers previews the running back position in the post-Melvin Gordon season… So much for Rutgers hiring a booster… NCAA cracked down on phone calls and text messages at West Virginia… Not a good look for Auburn… DirecTV customers will be getting FOX Sports Go… What if I told you ESPN was going to made into a movie?
