The concept is simple. It's hard to get 18 teenagers from different parts of the country to synchronize their busy schedules to meet up for a weekend. Even though he lives five minutes from University Park, Kevin Suhey remained a mystery man throughout the recruiting process this season. In 2001, the Penn State men's basketball team lost to Pittsburgh by 30 points. Last season, Pittsburgh again devastated the Nittany Lions, winning 82-60. It was supposed to be another weekend of two top 15 teams, perennial ACHA National Tournament qualifiers and another set of tough tests for the No. 1 ACHA Div. I Icers (18-0-0). They don't get much bigger than this. Jake Strayer was ready to repeat. If there was any question whether the holiday season had officially arrived, Penn State's wrestling practice this week delivered the answer. This weekend's showdown between the Penn State Lady Icers and Massachusetts will showcase two of the ACHA's better teams in the East. It used to be a right of passage in sports, the incoming freshmen being taught a lesson in humility (and respect) by the upperclassmen that have been through the ropes. The Penn State men's women's swimming and diving teams head to Athens, GA this weekend to participate in the Georgia Invitaitonal. An easy way to tell a program is headed in the right direction is when an 11-point victory is just not good enough. He’s got a couple of sayings he likes to throw out every now and then. “You can only worry about the things you do control,” he’ll say. Or he might tell you, “If you don’t like something, don’t do it anymore.” Coach Rose ... The team that Russ built. PDF version. Posted: Dec. 10, 2003 at 2:13 p.m. My Opinion: Jenny Vrentas

Tuesday was Britney Spears' birthday. She's 22 now. Freshman year rocks. Everything is new-fangled and exciting, and even those 8 a.m. recitations don't seem so bad, because for the first time in your inconsequential existence, you're living on your own, man, by your own terms, so if you want to eat pizza for breakfast, more power to you. If there's one constant in the history of video games, it's that even the hardcore gamers who typically get their fix on complex games like Halo or Final Fantasy have a soft spot. For most, including this gamer, that soft spot is the Mario Kart series. After a few years of waiting, the next generation of the well-received racing series, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, has sped out of stores and into GameCubes for the holidays. 'The Black Album' 'Tales of a Librarian' '21 Grams' Sunday marks the 75th birthday of Noam Chomsky, one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century and the most cited living person, according to The New York Times. To celebrate, the Collective Information Alternative, an independent local human rights organization, is hosting a birthday party for Chomsky at 7:30 p.m. Sunday in 128 Sackett. There will be refreshments and the screening of a lecture Chomsky gave Tuesday night. In the spirit of the celebration season, Jay-Z and Musiq Soulchild are having a little get-together at Crowbar, 420 E. College Ave., tomorrow. Sorting out costumes, setting up microphones, laughing and eating Christmas cookies is the way the Pennharmonics starts its final dress rehearsal.
