The Penn State women's tennis team will look to its veterans this season in hopes of returning to the highs the team reached in 2001. The women's tennis team will get a taste of competition and settle the score with an instate rival in the first weekend of spring competition. The Patriots and Panthers have rested for two weeks before their big event this weekend. This is it. Home sweet home. The Penn State men's and women's swimming and diving teams will look to win its final home meets of the season tomorrow. Highly touted quarterback Daryll Clark, of Youngstown, Ohio's Ursuline High School, committed to Penn State late yesterday afternoon. There was an entirely different type of crowd in an entirely different type of arena. And the Penn State women's basketball team was facing a squad it could not seem to get off its back last season, holding just a five point lead at halftime in that matchup. But last night, it was simply a No. 5 team facing an unranked Atlantic 10 conference team, and Penn State's 80-44 win at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia made that undeniably clear. Finally! That is exactly what the No. 11 Penn State men's volleyball team (3-3) is thinking as it begins its home schedule against Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association foe Rutgers-Newark (2-3, 1-0 EIVA) Tomorrow night, the No. 18 Penn State women's gymnastics team will be looking to build on its success from last week's meet against Central Michigan when the Nittany Lions face Rhode Island, West Virginia, and Yale at Rec Hall. Tonight at 8 at Carver Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa, the Penn State wrestling team will line up across the mat from the vaunted Iowa Hawkeyes for the 12th time since the arena opened in January 1983. In looking to define the word "dominate," one would find that it means to control, to rule, to occupy a more elevated or superior position. It's a question that anyone associated with this program has trouble answering -- why can't the Nittany Lions win on the road? Everyone knows it's easy to win games in front of a home crowd. What really separates the good teams from the average teams is an ability to win tough games on the road. At 6 a.m., most college students are snoring in their beds, dreaming of being far away from the dreary, cold weather of Penn State. Senior Connie Moore faces the toughest competition of the year this weekend with a chip on her shoulder the size of Mount Nittany. My Opinion: Chris Korman

I'm a sucker for bad movies. I'm as likely to go see the latest Tom Hanks drama as I would Carrot Top's most recent direct-to-video bomb (Chairman of the Board, anyone?). So it is with great pleasure that I recommend to the Penn State masses that Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! is one of the best bad movies I've seen in a long time. When I agreed to see The Butterfly Effect, it was mostly because I was curious to see if Ashton Kutcher is more than a pretty face and the leader of the trucker hat fashion cult. "I Got That Fire." "Back That
Thing Up." "Ha." "From Her
Mama." I'm going to hate on Juvenile

that it comes from love. Television Review Album Review Album Review
