Maybe you're planning to skip town and head home on Friday after your last class ends, and with 1,915 tickets on the student ticket exchange for as low as $11 already, you're probably not alone. I'm telling you that you might want to think twice about that decision.
“There has been a word that has been thrown around about this team -- resiliency -- a bunch of guys who never quit and never give up,” Carson said of the senior class's legacy. “We have gone through a lot of ups and downs, not only this season but in our football careers, but I think we will be remembered as that word."
In a career that has already been defined by his ability to overcome the odds, Matt McGloin has made another step towards reaching his dream on Wednesday when Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen named him as the team's starter this weekend. McGloin made his NFL debut as a starting quarterback last Sunday against the Houston Texans in place of an injured Terrelle Pryor, throwing three touchdowns and leading Oakland to a victory.
Senior Day is only three days away, which means more than a dozen Penn State football players will say goodbye to Beaver Stadium. Two of those players -- Garry Gilliam and John Urschel -- have become fan favorites among students after five seasons on the team.
When you think of Allen Robinson today, you think Biletnikoff Award finalist, NFL prospect, and record-breaking receiver.

With one year and one Senior Day under his belt, O'Brien knows what to expect heading into Saturday's matchup with Nebraska. He said at his Tuesday press conference that the coaches will bring the seniors onto the field to be honored before going back to the locker room to get re-focused on the game. What's most important to O'Brien though is that the stadium is packed with fans to support the seniors in their final Beaver Stadium matchup. He discussed that, Matt McGloin, selfies, and more at his weekly press conference.
