Former Cornell University Men's Lacrosse coach Jeff Tambroni has become the newest member of Penn State Athletics. In the 10 years that Tambroni was the head coach of the the Big Red, he led his team to a record of 109-40, eight Ivy League Championships, and three NCAA Final Four appearances. Under his tenure, Cornell shot to the forefront of college lacrosse and became a national powerhouse. Tambroni's departure from Cornell was a complete shock to many, including his star player at Cornell Rob Pannell, who told the Elmira Star Gazette that he was "kind of in shock a little bit. Kind of upset, but coach Tambroni, he has his reasons for doing it. I'm behind him and support his decision."

Making movies is not what students at the Penn State College of Medicine signed up for. However, it has proven a unique tool in truly understanding patients' diseases.
Dr. Dan Shapiro chairs the Department of Humanities at the College of Medicine in Hershey. In order to get more in touch with patients, he has his students interview and make documentaries about their own lives with their chronic disease, and those of their family. Said Shapiro of the project's philosophy, "I wanted our medical students to learn from patients who had serious chronic diseases or ailments. These patients would be teachers and our students would be filmmakers."

Joe Paterno was slated for an appearance today in Philadelphia, but could not make it due to illness. It appears that our beloved coach/local deity is suffering "lingering effects of an adverse reaction to antibiotic treatment for dental work," says GoPSUSports. He is also recovering from a bout with the flu which caused him to cancel the last two "Evening with Joe" events held (These events are sponsored by the alumni foundation and Nittany Lion Club).
All ticket holders can get refunds to these events in the same way they were purchased, and it should be all taken care of within four weeks, according to a press release issued by Penn State.
Fortunately, JoePa is feeling much better now. His doctor is advising him not to leave State College until he's fully recovered, but it's definitely still great news!
Texas saved college football from further major expansion on Monday as it announced it was staying with the Big 12 after the conference came up with a new TV deal. The Longhorns dispelled Pac-10 and even some Big Ten rumors and became the de facto emperors of the now 10-team conference by securing $20-25 million dollars a year in TV revenues (with help coming from the school's own network). Oklahoma and Texas A&M will make around that number, with the other seven teams making a "measly" $14-17 million a year in the uneven revenue sharing system.
