This article could have started with a quote from the movie Rounders, the poker film that got a new generation buying in with the hopes of cashing out big. But that'd be too predictable, and this game is at www.collegepoker championship.com, not Teddy KGB's.

This weekend all the questions will be answered. Contenders or pretenders? Chumps or champs? It could be the toughest conference in the nation today. Top to bottom, it has the crème de la crème. Norfolk who? That may be the question that most Penn State students are asking themselves when looking at this weekend's match-up between the Penn State baseball team (1-1) and the Norfolk State Spartans (6-5). The format is nearly the same, the trip is just as long, and this time, the Penn State women's softball team has a little bit of practice going into the Aggie Invitational II. Is this weekend really what the Penn State men's gymnastics team needs with the Big Ten and NCAA Championships only a little more than a month away? Since 1966, the series history between the women's gymnastics teams from Penn State and Pittsburgh can be summed up in one word: dominance. Pessimists would say that tomorrow marks the last dual meet for the Penn State fencing team, but for most of the team, the glass is half full. To be successful in the Big Ten, the No. 70 Penn State men's tennis team (3-1) must be sure to bring their "A-game" on any given day. The Penn State Lady Icers still have hockey to play after this weekend's Eastern Collegiate Women's Hockey League (ECWHL) tournament in Kingston, R.I. For the past three seasons, IUP and the Penn State Ice Lions have taken turns winning the University Hockey League (UHL) tournament. There will be no time for adjustments, no time to gel, no time to learn each other's strengths and weaknesses. That is what the preseason was for. No. 16 Notre Dame will head into Sunday's match-up untested in regular season play and coming off a performance in which it scored 11 consecutive goals en route to a 14-11 exhibition win over Major League Lacrosse's Boston Cannons last weekend. Tomorrow is senior day for the Penn State men's basketball team. Memo to all women's basketball coaches in America: Do not tick the No. 6 Penn State Lady Lions off. What is conference dominance? As expected, Minnesota and Michigan are off to a fast start at the 2004 Big Ten swimming and diving championships. Coming into the season, not only did the Penn State boxing team have little expectation -- it actually had no expectations at all. Penn State's women's tennis team has been saying that last weekend's win over Princeton was a turning point. Anticipation -- that's the operative word for this game.

It wasn't a parish community center. It was a movie theater. But it was hard to tell the difference. Rock band Train will make a stop at 7:30 p.m. on April 6 at the Bryce Jordan Center. The third Musica Nova concert of the year will take place at 8 p.m. Saturday in Esber Recital Hall. The concert will feature vocal, instrumental and electronic contemporary concert music of Penn State composers. You might remember The Walkmen as the group responsible for "We've Been Had," a major artistic achievement and minor hit from the band's breakthrough record, 2002's Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone. The infectious song was the highlight of the otherwise middling Everyone, but now The Walkmen is back with another record set to prove the band can make a name for itself in the crowded world of gloomy NYC indie-rock. You might remember Kylie Minogue as the woman responsible for "Can't Get You Out of My Head," a major hit and minor artistic achievement from her stateside breakthrough record, 2002's Fever. The infectious song was the highlight of the otherwise middling Fever, but now Minogue's back with another record set to prove she can make a name for herself in the crowded world of synthetic-pop. Apple enthusiasts everywhere love to brag about the company's constant bar-raising ingenuity and powerful, yet easy-to-use products, be it software or hardware. The big red fruit has set the curve yet again with the release of iLife '04, dubbed as "Microsoft Office for the rest of your life." Watching Welcome To Mooseport is like sinking your teeth into a plain piece of Wonder Bread; both are soft, flavorless and ultimately leave you with an empty feeling in your stomach. The Indigo Girls were big way back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when Tracy Chapman and Melissa Etheridge were just breaking into the mainstream and most of us were barely out of preschool. Yes, those were the days, between naptime and Hypercolor T-shirts and quality music that was way over our heads. I like chick flicks. I like teenybopper movies. I like silly movies that usually involve some over-privileged, beautiful 16-year-old girl who's 25 in real life, suffering through some incredible trauma, like a pimple on prom night.
