It's hard to say whether it would be harder to prepare for the game
if Joe is forced out before Saturday (50-50 at this point, I'd say) or if 
he's still there, up in the pressbox as he has been for the past several games.  

Bo Pelini has sort of been through this before.  He was the interim coach after 
Frank Solich was fired, and coached the Huskers to a 17-3 win over 
Michigan State in the Alamo Bowl.

Not that it makes prepping for the game easier, but he has been on
the other side of that coin.   

If Penn State declares itself ineligible for a bowl, would they also take
themselves out of the running for the Big Ten Championship game?
