Penn State football coach Joe Paterno had successful hip replacement surgery yesterday, and should be back in the office in a few weeks. This should give him and his staff ample time to prepare for the Rose Bowl. The Nittany Lions clinched a share of the Big Ten title with a win over Michigan State on Saturday. Penn State holds the tiebreaker over Ohio State by virtue of its win over the Buckeyes earlier this season, which gave them the Big Ten's Rose Bowl berth.
