Little went right for Penn State today as mistakes and missed opportunities plagued it early and often.
[ Friday, Sept. 8, 2006 ]
Last week is in the books. And despite Anthony Morelli's three-touchdown performance, there's still a few questions surrounding Penn State's first-year starter.
Tomorrow, some 95 student-athletes will don golden helmets while others put on white, nameless jerseys -- but only a few will be mentioned on both sides of the ball.
Well, maybe this will silence some critics. Maybe now some will stop questioning if this young team can win. Maybe they will finally acknowledge these freshmen as legitimate forces. Maybe the team can survive without an experienced libero and setter.
That's part of the speech that Joe Paterno gave his players before they beat Notre Dame in 1982, and its sentiment still rings true. It is impossible to separate a matchup between Penn State and Notre Dame from the history that surrounds both programs. The Golden Dome, Old Main, Joe Montana, John Cappelletti, Touchdown Jesus, Paternoville -- none of that matters tomorrow. The field at Notre Dame stadium is still 100 yards long 24 years later, and tomorrow the two teams will meet on that field, not in the history books.

Letters to the editor
Accepted, perhaps fittingly named for a movie about a bunch of kids that didn't make the cut for college, is best described as wasted potential. The movie's flaw is that it can't decide if it wants to satirize the educational system or just sit on a DVD rack next to Old School, settling for a disappointing mixture.
I'll admit -- when I heard Outkast was making a movie and recording a soundtrack to coincide with its release, I was excited. I grew more excited when I found out bad ass zombie killer Ving Rhames was signed on for the film. Color me disappointed when I discovered he wouldn't be featured on any tracks. If there's one thing a jazzy hip-hop album can use, it's Ving Rhames.
I did not go see Bob Dylan this past week when he came to visit Happy Valley, mostly because I am a poor college kid, but also because I saw him a few years back.
The 1920s -- a time when liquor was taboo, women were clamoring for a voice and floating white sheets and burning crosses plagued the South.
Ladies, gentlemen and children of all ages are welcome at tonight's rock carnival that is this year's Back to School Roustabout!, headlined by a New York band on the rise and Roust veterans Locksley.
Bar Bleu, 114 S. Garner St., will feature Plush. Specials include half-priced happies from 9 to 11 p.m. and $2.50 Miller Lite 23-oz. drafts (237-0374).
