Cup of Joe

It's Friday, and a Hurricane is about to make its way up the Eastern seaboard, meaning Beaver Stadium could be a quagmire by Saturday's 3:30 p.m. kickoff against Oregon State.

Along with the weather, a developing story includes a loud party and a small amount of marijuana found at the Nittany Apartment where A.J. Wallace, Maurice Evans and Abe Koroma live. Wallace technically lives in the Apartment, but he maintains he has been staying at his girlfriend's place.

More at the story can be found at ESPN.com. Koroma, Evans and oft-troubled tight end Andrew Quarless will miss Saturday's game, and university president Graham Spanier agrees with Paterno's decision.

Back to the game -- there actually is one scheduled between the Nittany Lions and Beavers on Saturday -- for a moment. Despite the suspensions and bad weather possibilities, Joe Hermitt of the Patriot News writes about injured linebacker Sean Lee's new role in Penn State's season.
