Jay Paterno represents one of the more intriguing Penn State figures I have ever encountered. There may not be an individual who loves this university the way he does, yet it seems sometimes he receives no love in return from the Nittany Lion faithful. All but four years of his life have been spent in State College; however, until recently, the younger Paterno was never able to fully endear himself to many Penn State fans.
As was mentioned yesterday, it's a testament to the world we live in when watching a Ticketmaster loading page is the most nerve-racking experience of the day. At approximately 10: 01 a.m. on Tuesday morning, anxiety turned to disappointment as "Your Wait Time is Less than One Minute" transitioned to "Sorry No Matches Were Found."
Penn State dug themselves an early hole. Later on, Pat Chambers picked up a technical foul and Tim Frazier struggled to put his shoe on at one point. It was that kind of night for the Nittany Lions (10-12, 2-7) as they lost to No. 4 Ohio State (18-3, 6-2) 78-54.
To all Penn State Football fans scheduled to graduate this spring, does that 17-14 loss to Nebraska on Senior Day that played a role in costing Penn State a Leaders Division title still sting? Through a limited time opportunity, you can get that bad taste out of your mouth by securing season tickets for 2012. A note posted on the Paternoville Facebook page explains the opportunity after the jump.
I have not frequently eaten at Burger King for quite some time. The last two times before now were April 29,2010 and November 18, 2011. The former was while returning to State College after the NFL draft; the latter was on the road home for Thanksgiving break, both somewhat rare occasions. That is part of the reason I was very intrigued for a Burger King to open up inside the HUB
Five days ago, Penn State hired Bill O'Brien as its 15th football coach in program history. That means after two long months, the hard part is over right, well no, not exactly. The importance of that hire cannot be underestimated; however, sometimes even more important, is the people that a coach surrounds himself with.
