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.
THON supporters have been tweeting up a storm lately nominating the philanthropy for a Shorty Award in the charity category. Currently The Trevor Project is in first place with over 1450 votes, whereas THON is quickly making its way up the list, moving from 13th to 6th place in less than a day.
Let’s hear it for the boys! This week I couldn’t decide between these dapper dudes, so I decided to show both. It’s not always easy to find well-dressed men on campus, but when you do they really catch your eye.
First we have Justin sporting a fusion of hipster and hip-hop in his red/white sneakers and his awesome khaki blazer, that made me want to run to Express and see if they have any on sale. I love the color combo he’s working with and it really makes him stand out in a crowd. The black bead necklace is a little 2008 Enrique Iglesias, but overall he’s look’n quite natty today.
Check out another Natty Nittany photo after the jump.
As Penn State junior Clayton Blunk was finalizing his order from Uncle Chen's this past Sunday night, he was greeted with a familiar sight: the "Special Instructions" box on Lion Menus. Instead of asking for extra duck sauce or fortune cookies, Mr. Blunk typed the following: "Draw a geisha fighting a dragon on the box."
