NEWS

Greg Behrendt said single Penn State students have no reason to complain about their lack of a significant others.

Spending about $3,000 and losing anywhere from 15 to 40 pounds, Epic Flop, Spicy and Gantz trekked the 2,160-mile Appalachian Trail for almost half of 2005.

Hordes of Penn State students sporting their black and gold made their way down to Beaver Canyon last night as the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 21-10 in Super Bowl XL.

With the Steelers up 7-3 going into halftime, energy was running high last night during the Super Bowl. And what better way to keep the momentum going than with a rock band decades past their prime?

While Super Bowl fans were getting ready for the big game, some students were chowing down on chicken wings in another type of bowl.

Lessening the country's dependency on oil was a major talking point in the president's State of the Union Address last week -- and some Penn State professors are already working to solve this problem.

At first glance, Erin Hayba appears to be a typical Penn State alumna -- she comes from a family of Penn Staters in Northern Virginia, and she enjoys running and hiking.

"Here we go Steelers, here we go" chants could be heard throughout Happy Valley last night as the Pittsburgh Steelers' 21-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks gave fans another reason to bleed black and gold.

Police charge student in girl's assualt

Super Bowl commercials, although not the main focus of most football fans, provide a little laughter in between the tense times of praying for a touchdown or cursing at a referee's call.

Jury selection is scheduled today for the retrial of former Penn State student and wrestler Jean Celestin, who was convicted of an August 1999 sexual assault.

SPORTS

Travis Hill was making basket after basket sitting on Technology Chair Reid Exley's shoulders.

Four friends who allegedly worked together to break into and steal items from several vehicles in State College were arrested and committed to Centre County Prison last week.

After 20 minutes it was time to collect proof. Shortly after the Penn State men's basketball team shocked No. 6 Illinois, after the Nittany Lions' travelling party had celebrated both in front of cameras and in private, a student manager came back onto the court in Assembly Hall, camera in hand. The manager took pictures of the scoreboard, recording forever Penn State's 66-65 victory over the No. 6 team in the nation, the highest-ranked opponent the Lions have ever defeated on the road in the 110-year history of the program.

The Penn State wrestling team found out how the Philistine army must have felt as it watched Goliath fall to the ground after being struck in the head by the stone of David, as it fell to No. 8 Iowa State 20-18 yesterday.

The best way to prepare for a big competition is another competition. The Penn State men's swimming and diving team competed in its last dual meet this weekend before the Big Ten Championships in late February.

Just moments earlier, a sea of orange engulfed Illinois guard Rich McBride while a vortex of familiar darkness washed over Ed DeChellis and the Penn State men's basketball team.

While Penn State fans celebrated the program's most storied road win in school history Saturday night, students in Champaign were in complete shock.

If basketball really is a game of runs, as Purdue junior Katie Gearlds alluded to yesterday following the game, then the 21-5 Boilermakers' run at the start of the second half must have felt like the 26th mile of a marathon for the Lady Lions.

Doing their best 12th-man impression, 2,372 fans stood up anxiously and clapped in hopes that they were truly witnessing what looked to be a momentous upset for the Penn State men's volleyball team at the Penn State Invitational.

The No. 1 Penn State ACHA Division I Icers played about 119 minutes of improved defensive hockey this past weekend.

For most of the athletes on the Penn State women's track and field team, this weekend's competition was the first away meet of the season.

Rule No. 1: No excuses, play like a champion.

Two days prior to the Lady Lions' game against No. 8 Purdue, sophomore guard and co-captain Kamela Gissendanner said the key to winning was to stop an opposing guard from scoring 28 points.

It was a nail-biter. Four members of the No. 15 Penn State women's gymnastics team had finished their routine on the balance beam. Two had fallen, leaving the Lions in doubt of a victory over the No. 21 Arkansas Razorbacks Friday night.

Illinois fans clasped their hands, as if silently appealing to the basketball gods, while players on the Fighting Illini had their faces dripping with desperation after letting a 16-point lead slip away -- 2.2 seconds left, down by one point.
