You'd think they'd be sick of each other.

The game plan may be a bit different for the No. 2 Penn State ACHA Div. I Icers -- but the outcome remains all the same.

Four years ago Joe Battista tried to get Paul Mammola to be the feature goaltender for the Penn State ACHA Div. I Icers. "Coach I appreciate it, but I want to play Division I hockey," Mammola said at the time.

With two big rematches against last year's Final Four teams looming this weekend, the defending national champion Penn State women's rugby team welcomes the challenge.

There will be no such thing as dipping those Lady Lion toes in the proverbial water this season.

The No. 5 Penn State women's volleyball team (16-2, 7-2 Big Ten) will have to develop short-term memory loss as it travels to Illinois for a match with the No. 24 Illini (13-4, 5-3), the team right behind the Lions in the Big Ten standings.

With a seventh straight regular season Big Ten title already in the bag, the No. 3 Penn State women's soccer team is aiming to do something that has not been done since the 2000 season: finish a regular season undefeated in the Big Ten.

Organizers have declared a "White Out" for Saturday's Big Ten clash with No. 25 Iowa. Kickoff is at 12 p.m. in Beaver Stadium for Penn State's 85th Homecoming contest.

Some cried that night. A few yelled out in frustration. Others simply kept quiet, unwilling to expend the energy to express their emotion.

Such a clever disguise, those thick glasses and plain dress shirts are.

Levi Brown was lying on the Metrodome turf and Joe Paterno began his pacing. Though this wasn't the first member of his team who Penn State's coach had seen injured in the game, this was the one he called the biggest loss.

A few weeks ago the letters M and J held no special meaning. Now, however, these letters bring to mind the athletic, blond, easy-going guy from Real World: Philadelphia. Yesterday M.J.
