For just the second time in a decade, the Big Ten has a 2,000 career point scorer. Just five minutes into the game, Talor Battle hit a 3 point shot over Northwestern's Davide Curletti to move his career point total to 2,002. He finished the game with a game-leading 19 points, bringing his career total to 2,015.
That proved to be the most interesting part of the game by far, as a hot-shooting Nittany Lion team quickly blew past the Northwestern Wildcats, holding them to a season low 15 points in the first half and posting a final score of 65-41. Penn State shot 49% from the field and had double-digit point contributions from David Jackson, Jeff Brooks, and Tim Frasier.
Wiz Khalifa will be making his first large-scale appearance in State College later this spring when he plays a concert at the Jordan Center in late April. Pittsburgh's Black and Yellow star has performed in State College before, but his appearance on April 26 will be the largest to date. Looks like it's going to be a good spring for music in State College. Let's just hope Movin' On rounds it out by giving us the spring concert that Penn State deserves.
The LION 90.7fm WKPS is up for the 2011 mtvU Woodie Award for the Best College Radio Station. The mtvU Woodie Awards are an annual awards show catered to the college music market, featuring categories like 'Woodie of the Year' and 'Breaking Woodie.'
President Zach Zimbler says that last year, the radio station placed in the top 10 but did not walk away with the big prize. He's hard set on getting them to finish first this year though. Check out the teaser they made to promote the award (spoiler alert: 'Woodie' puns are enthusiastically embraced).

You've just spent the past three months spending every dollar you have flying home to see your family on Thanksgiving... only to discover that your family went to Florida for the holiday... and forgot to tell you. Or shelling out thousands for a wedding ring to propose on Christmas morning... only to have it thrown in your face because it was too small. Or paying hundreds to ensure you jump the line at the club you chose for New Year's Eve... only to find that the girl you were kissing was a guy.
But for those brave male soldiers who still want to venture out of their bat caves, here are a few suggestions and tips to keep in mind when you try to decide where to bring your date.
So you're looking for a cheap pong table for your new and (unfortunately) unfurnished apartment. Or perhaps your printer just crapped out on you, but money is tight. Or maybe you really want an industrial-size food mixer because... um... maybe you've decided to run a bakery out of your dorm room? Nevertheless, what is a cash-strapped college kid to do? Two words: Lion Surplus.
Michigan State gave the Nittany Lions the boot off the proverbial bubble Thursday night after thoroughly taking care of business at the Breslin Center, downing Penn State, 75-57.
