Penn State mascot may miss bowl after arrest
The Penn State senior who plays the Nittany Lion mascot was arrested on a DUI charge and his status for the Rose Bowl is in doubt, police and school officials said. James Sheep was pulled over on campus around 3:15 a.m. on Nov. 22, hours before Penn State's 49-18 win over Michigan State, University Police Capt. Bill Moerschbacher said Monday. The officer who made the stop saw that the vehicle was overloaded, with passengers piled onto each other and blocking the driver's view.

Time for a new suit, anyway. That one doesn't look very well made. Oh, I see, like you said....so he could drive in it.

I didn't realize the "nittany" part meant drunk. Why don't they just say the Penn State Drunk Lions?

I haven't seen the Nittant Lion depth chart.... Is there one?
Also-----> when does a Sheep act like a Lion? When it is from Penn State!!
OK, I already got my Rose Bowl Package. Regrettable, but I had to laugh when I read about the Lion. Kids do some crazy things in college, believe me I know!

Yea, and I didn't know "gators" meant jailbirds. Why don't they call them Florida Prison **** after their record 12 arrests in 2007.

Seriously, they can't just find some other kid to put the suit on? I mean I can't believe they have such a raggedy mascot, can't they knit a more updated suit, since they ARE the Knitting Lions, right?

The depth chart, where's the depth chart? You think just anybody can lead the Stadium -> "WE ARE...... " cheer?
And as for the Lion, he's great, much better than an SC (silly Californian) mascott who deficates all over the playing field!

You should have picked a different team well digger. I doubt any team could compete against the 2008 Penn State Drunk Lions for arrests.

Well check it out. It's really easy, even for a gator fan. If PSU has more than 12 arrests in 2008 they are the new "Thug Champion". If not, your boys still hold the crown.

Well our mascot is a real animal so he has an excuse for sh*tting himself. And a Big-10 team beats USC in only dreams.
Pete Carroll is 5-0 vs. The Big-10. And none of those games were even close.
