IIt’s the most wonderful time of the year. December is the time we start to trade in our notebooks for everything peppermint flavored and North Face. It’s also the time of year when you begin receiving invites to everyone’s holiday themed parties. Everyone knows about "ugly Christmas sweater" parties, but there are so many more different types of holiday parties to throw. Here's a rundown.

We hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner and are ready for one final installment of staff predictions for the 2012 season.

With all that said, it is time to hear our writers' picks one more time as the Penn State Nittany Lions (7-4, 5-2) are set to host the Wisconsin Badgers (7-4, 4-3) in what is sure to be an emotional Senior Day at Beaver Stadium.

In an interview with the National Review, Rick Santorum said that he tried to donate a collection of his personal papers to Penn State but the University denied his contribution.

Before Thanksgiving break really gets underway, there is a football game to play at Beaver Stadium tomorrow as the Penn State Nittany Lions (6-4, 4-2) host the Indiana Hoosiers (4-6, 2-4) in a noon kickoff. Check out what our writers are thinking about the Big Ten Leaders Division contest.
