Linebacker Derek Wake was one of the shocks of the 2005 NFL combine when he turned in a 45 1/2 inch vertical jump, the second highest of any player in attendance. Come Sunday, it will have been 14 days since the Lady Lions were knocked out of the Big Ten tournament's semifinals. For match-going fans of the Penn State men's volleyball team, there may be some confusion as to who's running the show during the Nittany Lions contests. Editor's note: The second session of yesterday's National Championship meet concluded too late to include results in today's edition.

Be Cool thinks it's cool to point out its own shortcomings, as if acknowledging them somehow forgives them, but I don't really think it works that way. Let's get this out of the way first: Kasabian isn't a band with an original sound. Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen's 1813 comedy of manners, has been reworked so many times in so many different contexts it should be way boring by now. Ah, progressive rock.
