Head coach of the men's soccer program Barry Gorman unexpectedly announced his resignation Monday. He leaves a legacy of 22 years of coaching and three Big Ten titles in his wake. Citing "personal reasons," he has left the team to a nation-wide search for his successor.
"We expected Gorman to be there," [rising Senior and Co-Captain Andres] Casais said of next season. "He was a father figure to us."
Oof, that can't feel good. The move isn't completely out of the blue, as Gorman was periodically absent during the past few weeks without notice. But from all accounts, his intention to resign was only revealed yesterday. On the abandonment scale, this registers just slightly above "going to the store for some cigarettes and never coming back."

Countless laps, 24 hours, an El Nino-esque weekend, and $101,273 later, Penn State’s 2010 Relay for Life did in fact earn the right to be called an "incredible success."

As a student, you know one thing for a fact: You are poor. There could be many things that tipped you off. Most of your dietary intake comes from eating Ramen noodles, Taco Bell, or McDonalds. You have to choose between buying beer or doing laundry (enough Febreze would make anything smell nicer!). Sadly, not only do you not have any Febreze left, but you don't even have money to buy beer, so you are stuck in your apartment, hungry, sober, and in smelly clothes. Shit.
