In the course of every season, the point known as the homestretch begins. With the loss of All-Americans Josh Moore and Pat Cummins, the Penn State wrestling team is being doubted, as evidenced by the No. 17 preseason ranking, and the Nittany Lions do not like it. It's just about that time again. The leaves are falling, the temperature's dropping and sports fans everywhere are getting ready for another season of college basketball. A trio of Penn Staters -- Andrew Guman, Paul Jefferson and Paul Posluszny -- have been named to the Academic All-District Football Team as selected by members of CoSIDA, the College Sports Information Directors of America. The Penn State men's cross country team says this is the only time of the season that matters. All the hard work goes toward the meets from October through November. Following a disappointing loss at the Big Ten Championships, however, the Nittany Lions have backed themselves into a corner. When the Penn State Lady Lions tip-off their season against No. 3 Texas on Sunday afternoon, the minds of the Penn State nation will be on two players who are not on the floor as much as the five players that are. All season the Penn State men's soccer team has struggled against Big Ten competition, and all season the players and coaches have stuck to the mantra that they were a much better team than their mediocre record in the conference suggested. Coming off its tough loss to Ohio State in the final of the Big Ten tournament, the No. 5 Penn State women's soccer team (18-2-1) is anxious to get back on Jeffrey Field. When the first puck drops tonight at the Greenberg Ice Pavilion, the Penn State ACHA Div. I Icers will be in an unfamiliar position. The Penn State women's cross country team hasn't quite had the season it envisioned in early September. Statistically, you wouldn't realize it, though. In the doom and gloom of a random week in the life of a 2-7 football team, the players get to answer all sorts of uplifting questions. Cornerback Alan Zemaitis has a memo for the offense: show me a little something I like in these last two games, so I can be excited about next fall. It seemed for a second that Joe Paterno, the crafty wordsmith, had trapped himself. Here he was, sitting at his weekly teleconference and discussing his Nittany Lions' upcoming game against Indiana, and he began describing how the Hoosiers were a different group from last season. History says that, in nine tries, Indiana has never defeated Penn State. Predictions My Opinion: Sirage Yassin My Opinion: Wade Malcolm

"Pure entertainment" is how director Dan Carter describes Noises Off, an anomalous show that allows the audience to see it from a backstage perspective, the opposite of the conventional play. TV Review Album Review Let me tell you why I love kids' movies. A good kids' movie works on one level as exciting, funny escapism for kindergartners. First off, I must apologize. I've just realized that, apparently, I was sent to see Alfie to review the movie, not to exhaust my salivary glands while reveling in the inhumanly beautiful Jude Law. The first reason you should be excited about the new Destiny's Child album doesn't have much to do with music: Beyonce Knowles is the most beautiful woman in the world, and listening to Destiny's Child makes you think about Beyonce, which is never bad.
