Welcome to Bleacher Report. I know you've been here for a while, but I've been sick and caught up with things and haven't been on in nearly a month. I'm always glad to see another Penn State fan. Read your latest article as well. Curt Warner was probably the best back at PSU (other than possibly Capelleti and arguably Franco Harris). I also always loved D.J. Dozier...he basically led us to that 1986 win over the Canes.

Mike,

I tried editing your info, but each time I did it, the chart was messing with the formatting, so you can disregard the changes I made. I'm not sure why it's doing that, but if you can figure it out, let me know because I've never had to edit something like that before and it would be nice to know to make that look good.

Mike,

Would you be interested in writing an article previewing 2009 PSU football for the College Football Crackhouse blog located at http://www.collegefbcrackhouse.blogspot.com

I really hope you'll consider it!

If so, don't post it here but rather, email it to me at:

HD@blockonation.com

It will be posted on the blog with your name and a link to your profile here on B/R

Thanks,
HD
