Guy Gadowsky, the head of the Penn State Nittany Lions Division 1 hockey team, wants his team to know that goals, statistics, and saves -- in other words, the stat sheet -- is not what's most important to him.

The date was October 9, 1999 and most current members of the Penn State Football team were in their early years of elementary school when the Nittany Lions (4-2, 2-0) last defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes (4-2, 2-0) in Kinnick Stadium. While these players have only made one or two visits, they remember it well-- the screaming fans, the cold weather, and ultimately, the disappointing end result.

Their goal is to get people to join in and hopefully spread some cheer to people's bus rides.

Last week I told you all about the places you could order a café-mocha-latte-frappa-whatever-the-hell-you-drink on campus. Which is cool for all of the Penn Staters living on campus and everything, but I didn't even jump into all of the places that you can go to caffeinate yourselves off campus. So here we go. Downtown coffee shops, listed just for you apartment dwellers, or for the more adventurous dorm residents.
