That makes three! Last night, legendary linebacker and head coach of the San Fransisco 49ers selected Navorro Bowman 91st overall in the third round. Bowman registered 93 tackles during the 2009 season while battling a groin injury.
The linebacker should fit in well with the 49ers' defensive scheme, but off-the-field issues weigh on the former Nittany Lion-- a possible reason why he wasn't selected sooner. Bowman was suspended for two games in 2008 for fighting.
Bowman knows those problems are in the past. "I know what type of person I am. I've had so many teammates that love playing with me and love me being part of a team. I'm glad the 49ers see that I'm a good guy, and I bring a positive attitude," Bowman told Mercury News.
Stay updated. Daryll Clark could be next!
If you are looking for something to do this Blue and White weekend other than the football game, you should check out the All-Sports Museum.
"That place is sweet," said Robert Turchick, a sophomore studying politics who obviously enjoys the museum.
Today, the All-Sports Museum will host the Lion Cub Zone outside from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Activities will include photos, trivia, and face-painting. On Sunday, the museum will be open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Tally up another one! Sean Lee is the newest Nittany Lion to be selected in the 2010 NFL Draft-- he has been selected in the second round by the Dallas Cowboys.
Dallas made Lee the 55th player to be chosen after moving up in the draft from a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. Lee's hometown Pittsburgh Steelers passed on him to select Virgina Tech linebacker Jason Worilds, just 3 spots earlier.
The Cowboys, who employ a 3-4 defensive scheme, will likely play the former Lion as an inside linebacker-- a position similar to the one he played in at Penn State.
The waiting game continues for the remaining Penn State players. Navarro Bowman, Darryll Clark, Andrew Quarless...who will be next?
The Old Main bell stopped tolling in 1892, and today it rang again. The dedication ceremony for the restored and now displayed Old Main bell, the senior class gift of 2009, was held at 10.15 AM today at the west side of Old Main lawn. In addition to the bell, two other gifts were inaugurated: the Student Life Promenade, the 2005 class gift which illustrates 150 years of Penn State student life, and the 2008 gift, the Atherton and Curtain Gateway. All three projects were completed within the past month.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Labor released a document clarifying the roles of for-profit employers and colleges in students' unpaid internships. The document includes a six-part test from the Fair Labor Standards Act (which derives from a 1947 Supreme Court decision involving railroad-company trainees). If the following six factors are not met, then an employment relationship exists under the FLSA and minimum wage and overtime provisions must be given to the intern.
