Last football season was tough to swallow in Happy Valley, but there's plenty to look forward to when the 2011 Nittany Lions kick off in 78 days. Check out why this football season will be one to remember, and why Penn State will be a contender for the Big Ten title.
This afternoon, the Big Ten released the "single-play" opponents for the 2011-12 basketball season, and Penn State looks to have drawn well. Check out who they will and won't be hosting at the Bryce Jordan Center this basketball season.
Council of Commonwealth Student Governments President Peter Khoury confirmed today in an email to Onward State that starting this fall, voting during Council Weekends will be conducted using wireless "clickers" that can be used to tabulate results instantly.

Finally, the rivalry is back. For the first time since 2000, Penn State will meet former rival Pittsburgh on the gridiron for a home-and-home series beginning in 2016 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh and ending in 2017 at Beaver Stadium.
As Penn State students, we pride ourselves as being the best football student section in the country. However, in the past few years, we've gotten a little lazy. Here's what we need to do to get back on track this football season.
If you're a fan of celebrated indie rockers Dispatch, Penn State has got one heck of a back to school present for you: the band will be continuing their comeback tour and bring their unique style to the Bryce Jordan Center on August 28th, the Sunday after classes begin.
