Basketball....Are we getting better?

Penn State Fans-
The men's team is now 5-3....one of the best starts in years. But is the program truly in better standing? Will our mens basketball team EVER be GOOD...a player on the National scene??

The normal excuses are:
1. Penn State is a football school, therefore basketball players don't want to be overshadowed.
2. Penn State is not in or near a large city, where the best basketball talent resides. And the best players don't want to live in "cow country"

If these reasons are true, then please explain how these other schools have both a solid Football and Basketball team:
- Texas
- Florida
- Oklahoma
- Michigan
- Iowa
- Michigan State
- Maryland
- Ohio State
- UCLA

What are these schools doing that Penn State can't seem to replicate?

Ed gets one more year by my calendar. Then, if we aren't better, it is time to bring in a big name coach. Not a dirty, scum dragging, NCAA rules breaking coach. But a big name to help us recruit big time.

And yes, the team has suffered transfers and injuries over the years, but that is part of the game...one the coach must prepare to handle.

It is time for Penn State to have two Nationally Ranked revenue generating programs. It will help continue to fund all the other sport teams, who bring great pride to Penn State due to their accomplishment on and off the field.

Go State, beat the Florida State Penitentiary
