Penn State drops a player and Suspends three more

The Nittany Lions roster has gotten one player lighter after coach Joe Paterno announced he has dismissed back up defensive back Willie Harriott. In November, Harriott was arrested for driving under the influence and speeding.

JoPa also announced that defensive lineman Maurice Evans, Abe Koroma and tight end Andrew Quarless would be riding the pine for Saturday’s game against Oregon State due to a violation of team rules. The exact cause has not been released but it may have something to do with a little pot that was found in a campus apartment on Tuesday. The campus popo were sent to the apartment, which lists football players as its residents, after a report of loud music. Like I always say, if you’re doing something illegal, don’t draw attention to yourself by having loud music or shooting someone with a BB gun.

This isn’t the first off the field incident for Penn State this year. Receiver Chris Bell was kicked off the team after the popo said he threatened a teammate with a knife in the Dining Hall. Smart move buddy, way to do something incredibly stupid in front of hundreds or witnesses. Bell had already been suspended by the team for another off the field incident.

Defensive tackles Chris Baker and Phil Taylor were also given their walking papers for an undisclosed off the field incident last month.

Looks, like I may have given my Busted award away too soon.

Watch out Penn State football team, because the popo are on your tail!
