It’s about damn time we got some good news during the war against coronavirus. With every day that has passed over the last couple weeks, it seems like we just get more and more bad news.

Now, we’re learning that Penn State doesn’t have a single positive case of the virus. That’s exactly what we needed to hear during these trying times.

PSU is also one of the biggest and most powerful athletic departments in America. They’re a Big 10 program, have a ton of money and can move the needle.

We need programs like that to stay clean. Those are the teams that are going to lead the way to make sure football happens in the fall.

While I’ll cheer against PSU on the field, I’m damn happy to hear they’re clear of coronavirus. That’s a reason to crack open a beer and celebrate.
