Page 12 OUR THOUGHTS QB’s extension unwarranted Donovan McNabb may not have earned all the criticism he has received about being out of shape or not knowing his team’s playbook. But one thing he definite ly hasn’t earned is his five-year, $7B million contract extension with the Washington Redskins. McNabb hasn’t proven to be a stable presence in the ’Skins locker room this season, even being benched just two weeks ago. The quarterback offers some stability to his 4-4 team one positive that could be taken out of the deal. But most smart teams would probably want some results before handing out big checks. The Daily Collegian captain Drew Cost said. ‘lt’ll be real nice to have our first game at home like last year and hopefully we get the win so we can go down to Maryland which is always a real tough atmosphere.” Penn State was one of five Big Ten teams to earn bids and one of four to be seeded.

Lions host Hawks By Alex Angert :ot lEGian staff writer The No. 1 goal for Penn State this season is an obvious one make the NCAA tournament. To have a shot at fulfilling that, the Nittanv Lions will need to successfully accomplish one of their other main goals defend their home court. With 18 games at the Bryce Jordan Center. Penn State will have plenty of opportunities to do just that. Friday's 70-5(1 win against Lehigh was a good start. Against St. Joseph's at 7:30 p.m. tonight. Penn State will try to do it again at the BJC. "You need to have all your home games," coach Ed DeChellis said Friday. "You need to win them all at home. We’ve got a couple coming up and if we want to do something in March, you need to make sure you take care of business. " Eight of the Lions' first nine games will be on their home court and with the Big Ten strong, it will be essential for Penn State to build confidence early on at the BJC. DeChellis said he doesn't know too much about what to expect from decorated coach Phil Martelli's Hawks since they've only played one game. Coming off an 11-20 season Martelli's worst in his 16 years as St. Joseph's head coach —■ the traditionally successful Philadelphia school is sporting its youngest team since the 2004 National Coach of the Year took over.
