Rose Bowl, Day 6
LOS ANGELES -- Let's jump right to this morning's news on yesterday:
-- When Maurice Evans got in trouble and missed three games, Aaron Maybin stepped in and had an all-American season. Now he's the hot ticket right now, a possible first round pick, while Evans' stock plummeted.
-- Pete Carroll calls Joe Paterno the living embodiment of Benjamin Button.
-- In Talkin', Bob Ford, Phil Sheridan and I discuss the seemingly ageless Paterno.
-- And this is our take on Paterno's whereabouts:
What Joe did yesterday: Joe dazzled a roomful of reporters at his last pre-Rose Bowl news conference and stoked the fire of Penn State fans at a Beverly Hills High pep rally.
What Joe might do today: Joe might kick the new year off by kissing ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews. Then, feeling particularly goosy, he might lead the Rose Bowl parade with his new hip.
This season is Joe's fourth season on the paper's Penn State beat. He previously covered the Nittany Lions for United Press International from 1976 to 1984.
