Stadium cleanup ends quietly

It's nice to know, officially, that the Penn State players' cleanup of Beaver Stadium is now history.

You might recall that Coach Joe Paterno called for it in a speech before alums in Philly over the summer, so of course we got interested in it.

Then, when the season arrived, we attempted to photograph it like we do stadium cleanup any other time.

But no, not this time. We we're invited. It was just for us, Paterno and Penn State said.

So there. We stayed away, not bothering sending resources to stand around outside.

So I'm glad for the update today that the cleanup is, in fact, over. We wouldn't know any other way.

We'll see what makes headlines next from a big alum speech in Philly or elsewhere, and how long that initiative lasts. This one didn't make the full season.
