Rising sophomore quarterback Rob Bolden remains uncertain of his future at Penn State, accordingto an interview done yesterday with FightOnState.com's Mark Brennan. Many expected that Bolden's decision to return for the spring semester indicated that he would be sticking around for his sophomore season, but Bolden's comments on Sunday suggested that a transfer may still be an option following spring practice.
You may have heard of an organization that has been growing in popularity on campus. They market themselves as entertainment promoters and producers. OnPoint Ent. is an organization that aims to help students unwind and relieve their stress, primarily through dance parties. If you've been to one of their events, you know their DJs lay down some serious tracks. But OnPoint is looking to expand its horizons, and to do so its members are holding a meeting this Sunday for anyone interested in joining.
The Academy Awards are tonight, but if you're looking for last-minute advice in your Oscar pool, well, we're not here to help you.

Whoever said State Patty's day was just for the kids clearly didn't have their heads on straight, because as of 10:30 a.m. this morning, there are old-timers taking part in today's activities. How old do you ask?

In honor of State Patty's day, I thought I would hit the streets to see the fashion do's and don'ts that are running rampant around state college. As I predicted, everyone looks like a hot mess. But I think that's part of the charm of State Patty's day. You can walk around looking like Ke$ha, doing things that are usually covered by the dark of night or just by an RV at tailgating, and it's OK to look like a cross between Snooki and a leprechaun (or are they the same thing?).
