In his 60 years at Penn State, Joe Paterno hasn't been too fond of freshman quarterbacks.
The Big Ten took its next step beyond expansion Wednesday evening by announcing the divisional breakdowns for the conference.
Ollie Ogbu is tired of hearing the same question year after year.
The State College Spikes took a complete 360-degree turn Wednesday night.
Maddy Evans took a seat on the field, lowered her head and placed it in her lap following last weekend's disappointing loss to William & Mary.
Blair Brown sat on the sideline her entire freshman year.
It may seem strange the words "Youngstown State" were not included in any question asked of Joe Paterno at his weekly press conference. After all, the Lions open their season at noon Saturday against the Penguins.
Students swarmed the HUB-Robeson Center Wednesday and purchased more than 2,000 student tickets for rapper T.I.'s Sept. 24 concert.
Legendary ska band Reel Big Fish is coming to State College -- and the Student Programming Association (SPA) is hoping the show will sell out.

Even in the happiest of valleys, it's hard to resist the temptation of the nearest fast food restaurant when you need a quick meal.
We saw many "pieces of art" come down the red carpet on Sunday at the Emmys, but I have a hard time calling them that.
This book made me laugh out loud on the bus. Enough said.
Katy Perry is living the dream.
Cultural Conversations wants to start a dialogue about the elephant in the room.
Recent energy conservation efforts and building renovations have forced student performing arts groups out of their usual venues -- and members say Penn State needs to help them find new performance spaces.
The 650-person crowd in HUB-Alumni Hall erupted in chants of "We want MMMBop" before Hanson took the stage Saturday night for a free concert.
Monday's lottery for the Penn State vs. Alabama game left some students both empty-handed and frustrated by the university. About 40 students waited in line outside the Bryce Jordan Center were denied football tickets, including the first 16 students in line, leaving those who had been there longest angered at the situation.
My gay friend Jack has been obsessed with Betty White since high school. Honestly, he had Betty fever long before she made her sudden comeback at the ripe old age of 88. It's hard to mark the exact moment when my love for this white-haired lady came into my life, but if I don't count all the times Jack made me watch "Golden Girls," it was probably when she played the eccentric grandmother in "The Proposal" (2009).
Personally, I never thought announcing the individual totals was ever contrary to our cause. Hearing the huge totals had always inspired me to see what I could do the next year to reach their level of success. A healthy dose of motivation in this form does not hurt anybody, especially if it fosters an environment of continuous improvement. In fact, plenty of fundraisers do this.
The police received complaints regarding the Christian organization preaching the Gospel outside of the HUB-Robeson Center on Monday.
In response to Tuesday's article "Cage-free egg battle rages," Director of Residential Dining Lisa Wandel claims that the science does not show that battery-cage eggs are riskier than cage-free.
We, as Americas, are never satisfied with where we are at. We have come to believe that we are entitled to everything and anything that we want.
If a new website that pays students for getting good grades sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Penn State students attempting to use Ultrinsic.com should practice extreme caution. While the website claims it just provides further incentives to earn good grades, Penn State has denounced it as dangerous gambling.
In general, I agree with the use of a lottery system for selling sporting event tickets. It's how a large portion of tickets will be sold for the 2011 Nation Hockey League Winter Classic game that will be held in Pittsburgh on New Year's Day. A lottery system helps to address which Penguins fans or which Capitals fans are the most deserving of tickets outside of regular season ticket holders
I cannot believe that there is still a battle over the topic of Penn State going cage free or not. Clearly cage free is the way to be. There are plenty of studies that support the fact that eggs produced by hens locked up in battery cages are far less healthy than those that come from hens that have the freedom to move around. That being said, there are many other reasons to go cage free besides just the health concerns.
In response to Tuesday's article "PSU plans Catholic Student Faith Center," there were several online comments made about how the $6.5 million donated by many individuals could be used for "better" purposes. Specifically, Derek Morr said, "That $6.5 million could be so much better spent. How about donate it to relief efforts in Haiti or Pakistan, rather than build a monument to supernaturalism?"
Take one look at Russell Gutch, and you'll know he's a New Yorker. He's a charismatic, smooth-talking Italian -- collar popped, hair combed back -- with a slight accent that has The Bronx written all over it.
On his way to a party during his senior year of high school, Mike McCourt had no idea what he was about to stumble upon.
David Clavens stood surrounded by a group of students in the lower level of the HUB-Robeson Center. Fanning out a deck, he asked each person to draw a card.
A passionate Penn State football fan, Brianna Lang was disappointed when she had to miss the home game against Purdue in 2007. But to her, the opportunity to tailgate in the nude wasn't such a bad consolation prize.
Katie Knobloch was ready to proclaim her message to all of campus.
For Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Dance Marathon family relations captains, it's hard to stand out.
If you know Penn State sports, you know Dean DeVore. If you've been to a Penn State football game since 2000, you know him. If you've been to a women's volleyball game or a men's volleyball game or a wrestling match or a men's gymnastics meet or a men's lacrosse game -- you know him.
It's early in the morning, and a small herd of goats is following Mike Negra. The executive director of the State Theatre and self-proclaimed "up-and-coming goat farmer" is wearing a denim shirt, a thick pair of jeans and a hunting cap straight out of "The Catcher in the Rye," and he's carrying a bucket of food that every goat really wants to get at.
He left the Penn State Activities Building after classes, preparing to get food. But by day's end, Penn State student Paul George was in a hospital bed, preparing for a life with a prosthetic leg.

Receiving cortisone injections to play on an injured foot that requires surgery while also dealing with a separated shoulder in most sports would keep players out indefinitely.
Coming off a disappointing 2009 season, the Penn State men's cross country team is looking forward to a more successful year in the fall of 2010. After finishing the season by placing 16th at the Mid-Atlantic Regionals and failing to qualify for the NCAA Championships, the team is looking to rebound with a positive mentality this upcoming fall.
The 2010 season for the Penn State women's cross country team looks very promising. After ending the 2009 season with a 14th-place finish at the NCAA Cross Country Championships, the Nittany Lions hope to do even better than that in the upcoming season.
