Alan Zemaitis didn't know what to make of it. Penn State football coach Joe Paterno doesn't like to point fingers. But if he did, he would have singled out the special teams as the main reason for the loss against Wisconsin Saturday. The blue school buses pulled up to Beaver Stadium just like for every other Happy Valley Penn State football game. This week though there was one difference, Michael Robinson was the first one off the bus. They went over right tackle, over left tackle and up the middle, but the Lions' defense was nowhere to be found. After a weekend split the Penn Statefield hockey team is left scratching their heads. A popular defense for the Penn State women's soccer team's opponents has been to try and stop Joanna Lohman. With the play of Tiffany Weimer this weekend, however, Big Ten teams may start having to rethink their strategy. The Wisconsin men's soccer team, resembling a red army during pre-game warm-ups, dissected the opposition and unleashed an offensive attack that could not be contained. Over 6,000 fans made their way to Rec Hall this weekend to watch some prime Big Ten volleyball action. The Penn State men's rugby team has had the good fortune of staying healthy this season, but the only downside of that is they haven't been able to test their depth. A one hour documentary, "The Season: Joe Paterno" on the life and career of legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno will air on ESPN on Friday, October 10. The program will air at 7:00 p.m. ET and will re-air on Thursday, October 16 at 4:00 p.m. ET. He said they would. He said they expected it. He said it was a must. The team did it. Penn State basketball is offering more options this year for fans to purchase tickets. Two new 'mini-packs' are now available for the 2003-04 Men's and Women's Basketball season. Maybe it was the jet lag, or maybe it was the strong winds and soaking rain that fell throughout the race. Whatever it was, the Penn State women's cross-country team's first ever trip to the Adidas Notre Dame Invitational didn't go exactly as it had planned. The men's cross country team must be used to the weather in State College, because it doesn't affect them anywhere else. On Friday half the team ran at the Adidas Notre Dame Invitational in South Bend, Ind.
