Book Synopsis We Are Penn State by : Lou Prato
Download or read book We Are Penn State written by Lou Prato. This book was released on 2013-09-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No college football program has ever had to deal with the obstacles, hostility, and challenges encountered by the players and coaches of the 2012 Penn State Nittany Lions, and this book is an account of that unforgettable season in which the team rebounded from a disillusioning 0-2 start to surprise everyone and finish with an 8-4 record, third best in the Big Ten Conference. The turmoil at Penn State began in early November 2011 with the shocking arrest of retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky for multiple charges of sexual child abuse, and within days legendary head coach Joe Paterno was fired in what would be termed the biggest scandal in college football history. By the end of January, Paterno was dead from lung cancer and a new head coach without any Penn State connections, Bill O’Brien, began putting together his staff while finishing up his job as offensive coordinator of the Super Bowl bound New England Patriots. We Are Penn State tells the story of how this team overcame unprecedented NCAA sanctions, including a four-year bowl ban and the loss of 45 scholarships over the same period, the transfer of several of its star players, and overwhelming predictions that the 2012 season would be a disaster to put together a successful season and restore some dignity to what was once considered one of the elite programs in college football.

Book Synopsis Penn State Nittany Lions by : Ken Rappoport
Download or read book Penn State Nittany Lions written by Ken Rappoport. This book was released on 2005-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there life after Penn State football? Ken Rappoport, longtime Associated Press sports writer and award-winning author, catches up with a number of former Nittany Lion football players to answer that meaningful question. In many cases, Penn State: Where Have You Gone? not only explores what's happened since these players left University Park, but also what they remember about their college football days and the invaluable "Penn State Experience." All have interesting stories to tell. Some, like Jack Ham and Mike Munchak, went on to Hall of Fame careers in the NFL. Others, like Heisman Trophy winner John Cappelletti, Ted Kwalick, Milt Plum and Pete Liske had successful runs in the pros. And still more, like All-American Charline Pittman, became an all-star in the newspaper business. In this book there are also a couple of doctors, financial advisors and coaches. Some, like Bob White and Wally Richardson, have made the full circle back to Penn State to work for the university. The players herein represent some 60 years of Penn State football history--from the 1940s through the 1990s. Their fascinating tales reflect their times at University Park. Wally Triplett remembers what it was like to break the color barrier in the 1948 Cotton Bowl. Sam Stellatella talks about Penn State's first bowl victory, the 1959 Liberty Bowl triumph over Alabama. And Greg Garrity recalls his famous catch in the 1983 Sugar Bowl that gave the Nittany Lions their first national championship. Of course, many of the players have something to say about Joe Paterno.
