Welcome to Week 11 of Black Shoe Degenerates, your weekly gambling column written by the smartest gambling expert you know.
I just wanted to use this space to recognize Wally Triplett. I got to meet him briefly when he came to a Penn State practice in 2015, and I’ll remember that forever. Even at his old age, he captured the room from the second he walked in. Not many have had the impact on this program, and the sport as a whole on the collegiate and professional levels, that Triplett had. I hope Penn State recognizes him this weekend, and honestly, I would consider retiring his jersey if I were in the athletic department and in charge of those decisions.
