I was anticipating a quiet week in the Penn State football world. That was certainly not the case. A first fight, recruiting updates, and coaching search speculation dominated the headlines, leaving several questions unanswered heading into the holiday (and bowl game) season.
So, with the Philly/Pittsburgh rivalry at Penn State, there's no way you didn't see this post coming, right? Here's a list of things to do this break in Pittsburgh.
Penn State (8-5) was able to hold off Cornell (4-6) Wednesday night to close out their non-conference schedule, coming out on top 74-67.
Our legendary former coach turns 85 today. So much has changed since JoePa celebrated his last birthday, but we can only hope that he is surrounded by family and friends on this special day.
It's hard enough to save money while at school, but have you ever noticed how you seem to fly through money when you leave for break? It's not an unusual phenomenon, especially when all of your buddies from home want to get together every single night. Don't even get me started on the holidays; how could you possibly save money with all of those presents you have to buy? And your Aunt Cindy never seems to just give you cash on the big day...instead you're stuck with a pair of pajamas with little penguins on them. With my help, you can see your friends, pretend to be happy with your less-than-mediocre presents, and manage to save a few bucks for your bar tab on syllabus week.
Penn State (7-5) put an end to an ugly three game losing streak, predictably downing Mount St. Mary's (1-9) Sunday night in front of a sparse winter break crowd at the Bryce Jordan Center.
