Even if you didn’t really care who won the Super Bowl this year, you more than likely watched the year’s biggest television event. Super Bowl XLVI featured more of the same traditions American sports-lovers have come to expect: tailgate food, football jerseys, yelling at the television screen, Madonna trying too hard, and good commercials.
In another great event hosted by SPA LateNight, hypnotist Tom DeLuca performed his ImaginAction show to a packed audience in Heritage Hall Friday Night. Going into the event I was hoping to see some classic one on one hypnosis with a guy waving a pocket-watch in someone’s face, but that’s not Tom DeLuca’s style.
Key 3-pointers from Alex Bentley and Zhaque Gray, along with a team-high 20 points from Mia Nickson propelled the Penn State women's basketball team past Minnesota on Sunday. The 68-65 victory kept the Lady Lions, who have won seven of their last nine games, in the hunt for a Big Ten regular season title. Next up is a home game against Wisconsin on Thursday.
Lady Antebellum’s “We Own The Night 2012 World Tour” stopped at the Bryce Jordan Center on Saturday Night. The tour’s name was fitting, as Lady A, along with country superstar Darius Rucker, and Thompson Square, owned the night in State College.
Venues not named the Bryce Jordan Center have not been kind to the Men's Basketball team so far this season. That themed continued on Saturday as Penn State (10-14, 2-9) fell to Iowa (13-11, 5-6) by a score of 77-64 at Carver-Hawkeye arena in Iowa City. The game was not as close as the final score indicates as Pat Chambers' squad dropped their fourth straight game. One has to go back to February of 2010 to find the last time a losing streak of that nature existed.
PRIDE, the Penn State sportsmanship team, has organized an event to welcome new head football coach Bill O'Brien and his family to Penn State.
