This week's Alister Mackenzie Invitational in Fairfax, Calif., left the Penn State men's golf team looking for answers.
It could be said that the Penn State women's golf team is entering a lion's den this weekend at the Mercedes-Benz Collegiate Championships.
The competition is fierce and the stakes are high. The Penn State men's cross country team has been consistent this season, earning second place at its first three meets, but heading into the fourth meet, the team will face its first real challenge of the season. The Nittany Lions will be racing against the top teams in the Big Ten and regional conferences in the Pre-National Invitational at 11 a.m. tomorrow in Terre Haute, Ind.
The last time the Penn State men's rugby team played on the road, it resulted in a less-than-stellar effort.

Sometimes, a little bit of home is all you need to get back on track.

Letters to the editor
Those who sought shelter from the cold in the Waring Commons study lounge last night may have been surprised by the warmth of a wall-to-wall crowd and an intimate rock show instead.
Absurdity is coming to State College this weekend, and it's shaped like a rhinoceros.
Based on the previews I saw for The Departed, I pretty much had no idea what I was getting myself into when I went to see it. I didn't think I would see much more than a gun-filled action film with some famous actors thrown into the mix.
A book about a frat -- how much of a realistic portrayal can this book really offer?
If I've learned two things from watching Michel Gondry's (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) semi-autobiographical The Science of Sleep, one is that Gondry can look at any everyday object and turn it into a piece of a fantasy dream-world puzzle. The other thing -- once Gondry gets going with his intrinsic mindscapes, there's no telling where he'll go, or when he'll stop.
It's been awhile since the last good upbeat Beck album. 2005's Guero was just Beck on autopilot, trying to recapture the goofy joy of Odelay with none of the fun. Four years ago, 2002's Sea Change was good, but it's string-drenched break-up songs were far from typical Beck.
Homecoming weekend may still be a week away, but for Penn State alumnus Taylor Traversari, this weekend is a chance to bring his band back to Happy Valley and help cheer on the Nittany Lions.
I haven't gotten excited for new "Weird Al" Yankovic albums since I was in sixth grade, but when I saw the track list for Straight Outta Lynwood, I felt like I was twelve again.
Tonight's all-ages Roustabout! show at 9 at the Tall Shiva Hookah Lounge, 224 W. College Ave.,will feature three bands including The Bullet Parade, Olivia Mancini and the Housemates and The Minor White.
