Kudos to CFN

College Football News doesn't boast the best writers in the country, nor does College Football News look all that great. But College Football News does deserve credit in this respect: They offer the most comprehensive coverage of college football, for free, that you'll find anywhere.

A good example is the site's ongoing coverage of the Big Ten media week. A full week after the event ended, CFN continues to post great short interview pieces with some of the conference's top coaches and players. Some of these pieces are truly entertaining.

Check out this blurb from Joe Paterno, responding to a reporter's question about what he'll do when he retires:

"I really haven't thought about it. You pick up the paper and you hear about the hunger and the problems, and you want to do something. My wife and I are currently involved with helping out in Sierra Leone. A kid we recruited has a father over there, a kid by the name of Ryan Scott, and his grandfather died. The father became the chief. They're trying to do some things over there with the young people and the farmland. So Sue and Mr. Scott got involved in it sending someone over from the Ag department to help. We've tried to help and set up scholarships and things like that. Those are the sorts of things we'd like to be doing. But hell, who knows? I might just find a young girl and take off to Aruba."
