Could JoePa return home for a game?

A developing story is taking place, and it may or may not affect the Nittany Lions.

Those of you fans who follow Penn State quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno's Twitter page and his HD Journal blog may recall him recently telling a fan that he would love for Penn State to play Notre Dame in the new Yankee Stadium.

Well, Thursday's New York Times is reporting that Jack Swarbrick, Notre Dame's athletic director, said the Bronx Bombers were welcome to opening their new (and pricey) doors to pigskin, and that the Fighting Irish have even asked the Yanks about a potential game.

Swarbick said he would prefer to play Army, given the two programs' history at Yankee Stadium, but it would certainly be interesting to see Joe Paterno return home for a contest. (To coach, not watch basketball.)

At the very least, it's good to see a Big Ten coach making productive use with his tweets, something that can't be said for all.

And, if the conference's coaches aren't entertaining enough, you can always hop on the bandwagon and follow us.

Matt Fortuna is a sophomore majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Collegian. He has previously covered the men's tennis, soccer and basketball teams. A traditionalist, he would like nothing more than to see Joe Paterno throw it back to his Brooklyn days and install the single-wing offense this season.

Nate Mink is a sophomore majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian and a 5-foot-10 sesquipedalian from Allentown who has tried to grow facial hair for 20 years. Sadly, he has been unsuccessful thus far. He is anxious to get a new driver's license in September and hopes the bartenders at Zanzibar in Ann Arbor believe he's 21.

Wayne Staats is a junior majoring in journalism and history and is a football reporter for the Collegian. He previously covered the baseball and women's basketball teams. He never made it far playing competitive football, unless Nerf football in grade school counts.
