Pathetic.
I could end this recap with that word alone. Penn State (6-4) fell to Lafayette (4-5) in what was by far their worst effort of the year. This game ranks up there with Maine from last season as one of the worst losses over the last decade.
UPUA held a meeting on Wednesday that was mostly uneventful, with the biggest piece of legislation being one to endorse sexual abuse reform in the Pennsylvania Legislature.
A small idea from two graduate students at Penn State spread like wildfire to over 100,000 people to help spread awareness about child abuse, and what can be done to help. Today, a check will be presented to them and the Prevent Child Abuse Pennsylvania organization from the proceeds of the Blue Out Shirts from McLanahan's. McLanahan's presented a check from the money raised from the shirts, totaling an impressive $25,000.
Jerry Sandusky was arrested today on additional counts of sexual abuse, in addition to the 40 he previously faced. Two more victims have stepped forward and accused Sandusky of abuse, and they have been added to the Grand Jury presentment released in November.
The Bellefonte police are preparing for the inevitable media swarm to descend on their city next Tuesday when the Jerry Sandusky preliminary trial is set to take place. And they're not playing any games.
Yes, Penn State was "snubbed" by a handful of bowl selection committees. But the fact of the matter is, we're still playing in a post-New Year's bowl, against a Top 20 team, in a decent location. Dallas can't be all bad, if the NFL saw it suitable to host the Super Bowl just last year.
