If you're looking at this post, you probably have some interest in joining Penn State's premiere student media outlet: Onward State. We're happy to inform you that with the spring semester quickly approaching, there is room on our staff for new members.
For the second year in a row, James Franklin will appear on ESPN in advance of the national championship game. He'll join a coaches roundtable Thursday and tape segments for Sunday's Championship Drive.
After a brief scare over the past week, it appears that Penn State defensive coordinator Bob Shoop will be staying in Happy Valley after all. Shoop was connected to the vacant LSU defensive coordinator position and was reportedly on the short list for the job.
As I'm sure all of you are aware, the college football season (and by extension, bowl season) is not officially over yet. Oregon and Ohio State are playing for the National Championship on Monday, January 12th. However, the Associated Press has already named its All-Bowl team for this season, featuring one Nittany Lion with a flair for the dramatic.
Casey Bailey and Taylor Holstrom were nominated for the Hobey Baker Award, a fan vote deciding the best player in college hockey. The two are among the top scorers in the league, and are the first two Nittany Lions to receive the distinction.
Penn State can add yet another accolade to its long list -- No. 1 online bachelor's program.
