46 hours and $9.56 million later, Penn State is unmistakably changed by THON. However, some are so dumbfounded that they no longer have anything else to talk about. Words literally escape these desperate THONers, they are at a loss for words. Join Marcus and I as we try to get to the bottom of this puzzling dilemma.
After the basketball team's three memorable performances last week, which included upset wins of #18 Michigan State and #16 Illinois and a heart-breaking three-point loss at #2 Ohio State, we here at Onward State wanted to go behind the scenes and follow the brains of the operation, Coach Ed DeChellis.
Tiger Woods, famous golfer, sports icon, and man whore will be coming to Eisenhower next week to speak to students about the dangers of 'sexting.' As everyone on the planet is aware, Woods was recently involved in a incredibly entertaining scandal, in which it came out that he had a multitude of mistresses and it ended with him attending a sex rehab clinic.
But Woods should know more than anyone that 'sexting' is a dangerous game to play, and that all information transmitted via the internet or cell phone can always be retraced and then shown on ESPN or CNN over and over again until your career is pretty much destroyed.
Penn State officials have said that Woods had made a few unorthodox demands. Find out what they are after the jump.
The UPUA announced today that they will be forming a new representative body within the Assembly, made up of both on and off-campus students that are known by their friends to be "champion drinkers." The initiative is the latest move by the UPUA to try to control the dangerous drinking habits of Penn State students. Recently, they found that oppression is not the answer, and thus they formed the committee in their attempts to assimilate those of the heavy drinking community into the student government. They will be responsible for representing the drunk mess students that plague the campus and invent drinking holidays.
The drinking culture of the student body has long gone underrepresented in the student government, and newly elected President Christian Ragland feels it's time to give those drunk bastards a voice.

The results from an exhaustive CNN study have shown that State College's own College Avenue was deemed "Most Beautiful Street in America".
"It was a tough decision," said Steven Kroznyk, the CNN analyst who conducted the study, "But we've determined that no street in the United States can match State College's pristine beauty."
College Ave., which narrowly beat out several streets in both Detroit and Cleveland, is bringing great pride to the Penn State community. Martha Williamson, a sophomore in civil engineering, said, "It's really a wonderful looking street. I've heard that it's currently undergoing construction, but honestly, I can't even tell!"
