Good news! If you are planning on getting season tickets for the 2010 football season, you'll be paying less than you did in 2009. But that's only if you buy tickets for all the games; single game tickets will cost more. Confused?
The per game price for public and student season tickets will remain unchanged at $55 and $29 per game, respectively. All season ticket holders will pay less in total for their seats in 2010, since seven games are scheduled for Beaver Stadium this fall compared to eight in 2009. Single game ticket prices will increase $3 to $67 per ticket for the 2010 season.

There are some days that you just wake up at 8:45, have a 9:05 class, and just don't feel like going to class. We all have those days. I have those days every day. The question is, how do you know which classes to skip and which to suck it up and attend?

A Facebook group is "officially petitioning" the Chick-Fil-A Express in the HUB-Robeson Center's Marketplace to rename the nuggets "Chicken Zuggets." They are currently 52 members strong.
I love Chick-Fil-A, and I love Penn State football, but I have no reservations in saying this is stupid. You're welcome to disagree with me and join the group.
