When a team shoots better than 50% from the field, wins the rebounding battle by 11, and is perfect from the free throw line in an away game, you normally wouldn't expect them to lose. Then again, Penn State isn't a normal team.
Once again, coaching ineptitude cost the Nittany Lions players a victory that they rightly deserved.
This sign over an Allen St storefront has been hanging since pretty early in the fall semester. We at Onward State are certainly fans of Chinese food, but I want to know... When exactly is soon anyway?
CATA announced on Monday that they were exploring the possibility of expanding its fare-free routes beyond the traditional Loops and Links. The general idea would be that on routes that traditionally service student apartment complexes (Vairo Blvd, Aaron Drive, Waupelani), where bus passes are paid by the apartment complexes, would become fare-free with a Penn State ID card. The cost of this would be picked up by the University. CATA plans to use a $100,000 federal grant to conduct the survey.
My question is, why is CATA trying to mess with a system that, in general works? The fare based routes (according to CATA's own end-year report) account for only about 40% of the ridership on the system, and seem to work decently well on the whole.
