The blue game buttons will not be available for the next games, but what does that mean for the future?

<i>South Park</i> Slams Penn State University

Last night's season finale of Comedy Central's animated satire series, South Park, stuck to its timely moniker with jabs at the recent media shit show surrounding Penn State and the Sandusky child abuse scandal. Did Trey Parker and Matt Stone go too far with this one? Are child abuse jokes too soon? Find out more after the jump.

Sources: Spanier Requested to Resign, Not Fired

Penn State Basketball Improves to 3-0

"Free Big Macs for everyone!"

That was the sentiment shared by most students that attended the basketball game last night at the Jordan Center in which Penn State (3-0) defeated the Long Island Blackbirds (0-3) 77-68.

It had taken 28 games dating back to early last season for the Nittany Lions to reach the 70 point threshold required for the beloved Big Mac Attack promotion to kick-in. Penn State would need most of those points in a back and forth game in which Penn State didn't pull away from until the very end.

Franco Harris Wants Stickies with a Side of Answers

Last night, @RBecklerPSU and I received a tip that former Penn State football great Franco Harris would be meeting with University officials at The College Diner (Yes, the Diner). As he was leaving, we were able to sit down with the Penn State legend to discuss the recent events surrounding Penn State and to talk about his purpose for coming here. And boy, did he have a lot to say.

<i>Sports Illustrated</i> Cover Misses the Target

Allow me to begin by saying that I enjoy Sports Illustrated. They do not just simply report the news; they bring it to life and provide meaning behind it. When I was younger, I used to have a yearly subscription. At some point, I cancelled it, no longer having the time to sit down and read a full magazine, but I still followed much of their coverage.

With all of that said, I was disappointed when I saw their cover page for this week's issue. Do not get me wrong, I fully expected that it would involve Penn State, but something is not right about it. Some words and phrases featured on the cover are: Penn State, failure, shame, scandal, painful, and Paterno legacy. What is missing you might ask? Maybe some mention, if not a picture, of JERRY SANDUSKY?! You know, the gentleman who put us in this mess.
