The Penn State basketball team played their third game in five days Wednesday night, and improved their record to 5-1 by defeating Youngstown State. Over the weekend, Penn State finished their final two games in the Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament, splitting the series with two contrasting performances.
A report claiming that Sue Paterno was told she could no longer work out at a Penn State pool was accurate...sort of. Find out why you shouldn't be outraged by today's report, and why the source should still remain credible.
It was only a month ago that Penn State football fans were trying to understand how a quarterback-less team was having such a surprisingly successful season and few envisioned a Big Ten title and New Year's Day bowl game. Now in light of recent events, should Penn State consider declining a bowl invitation?
While the eyes of most Penn State sports fans were mainly fixated on Saturday's clash between the Nittany Lions and the Ohio State Buckeyes in Columbus, several other sports teams played pivotal matchups with mixed levels of success. Here's a recap of all the action below:
It's shocking and discouraging--if not completely unsurprising, given how this month has gone--to see a major newspaper give a forum to a disgruntled former employee for the voicing of grievances. Vicky Triponey, the former (and disgraced) Vice President for Student Affairs at Penn State, clearly went to the newspaper, selling a story, and in another sad chapter of this affair, The Wall Street Journal bought it.
Wide receiver Curtis Drake headed on to the field like any other play. This was not any other play, however. Drake lined up at quarterback and handed the ball off to Stephfon Green, who ran for a touchdown.
That play was just one of many in a new-look Penn State wildcat formation. Drake and Bill Belton split time at quarterback when the Nittany Lions ran the wildcat. The new formation helped Penn State to a 20-14 victory in Columbus, Ohio, over Ohio State.
