Did anyone witness any behavior like this at Beaver Stadium? I know Penn State fans are regarded as some of the best in the nation; does this taint the image?

Professional Hockey Tryouts in 1 month!!!! Public Welcome!!

mxhockey — Thu, 27 Jul 2006 17:57:18 GMT

There's a new local professional hockey team looking for members. We are calling all hockey players ice or roller to grab some inline skates and come tryout with the team. For the cost of tryouts you get up to 12 hours of rink time. That's cheaper than even open or drop in hockey. You'll also receive professional level coaching, training, drills, work outs, and if you stick with it, a complete skill evaluation for you to build on in the future. The same evaluation we directly use in team selection.

Find out dates and tryout info.

POLL: Should Colston go to Pro Bowl?

JasonBristol — Tue, 19 Dec 2006 22:22:09 GMT

The NFL announced its rosters for the 2007 Pro Bowl. Anquan Boldin, Steve Smith, Torry Holt and Donald Driver are all going to Hawaii, while Marques Colston of Susquehanna Township is not.

The Pro Bowl four all have better numbers than Colston, but due to injury, Colston has played in two fewer games than Boldin, Holt and Driver.

Paterno on CBS Evening News with Katie

JasonBristol — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 19:20:28 GMT

This just in from Penn State:

Paterno to be Featured on
Thursday's CBS Evening News

     UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., September 6, 2006 -- Joe Paterno will be featured on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric on Thursday, Sept. 7 as part of Couric's debut week, which includes an interview with President Bush.

      The program airs on CBS affiliates nationwide, including 6:30 p.m. ET on WTAJ-TV, Ch. 10 in the State College-Altoona-Johnstown market. Check local listings for airtime.

        The network videotaped and interviewed Coach Paterno on football media day last month, with the intention of including the segment during premier week of its changeover to a new anchor, set and format. Senior news correspondent Byron Pitts conducted the interview, which focuses on the "Success With Honor" principles and values of Paterno and Penn State more than football.

CBS News officials confirmed Tuesday that the segment would run on Thursday, barring major breaking news.

       Paterno is in his 41st season as head coach of the Nittany Lions. He is second in all-time victories among major college coaches and fourth in wins across all four NCAA divisions. A member of the Penn State coaching staff for 57 years, he owns a 355-117-3 (75.0) career record. Paterno has led Penn State to national championships in 1982 and '86, five unbeaten and untied seasons (1968, '69, '73, '86, '94) and is the all-time leader in bowl appearances (32) and victories (21-10-1 record).

     A 1950 graduate of Brown University, Paterno also has produced more than 300 NFL players, 71 first team All-Americans, 32 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-Americans (24 first team), 14 National Football Foundation Hall of Fame Scholar Athletes and 18 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winners during his legendary career.

     Paterno was selected the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) National Coach of the Year for an unprecedented fifth time in 2005 after leading Penn State to an 11-1 record and the Big Ten and FedEx Orange Bowl titles.

       Paterno and his wife, Sue, have contributed more than $4 million to Penn State for several academic and athletic building projects and to endow scholarships and faculty positions.

     In December, Paterno will be among the first three active coaches or players inducted into the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame.

        No. 19 Penn State (1-0) visits No. 4 Notre Dame (1-0) on Saturday in the first meeting between the national powers since 1992. The series is tied, 8-8-1. Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. in South Bend. NBC Sports (WJAC-TV, Ch 6 in Centre Region), the Penn State Sports Network and GoPSUsports.com will carry the action.

        All Nittany Lion fans attending Saturday's game are encouraged to wear white and bring Beaver Stadium's nationally recognized "White Out" to Notre Dame Stadium.

Roller Skating?????

sk8coach — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 03:48:40 GMT

With so many TV ads featuring roller skating (quads!) and at least 3 movies (ex "Roll Bounce") coming out in the last year that are based on rollerskating (quads too!) .... why aren't more of us talking about this marvelous sport/recreation?????

Did you know that everything they do on ice skates can be done on roller skates?

Did you also know that you can burn 350-600 calories per hour roller skating?

DUH! that could go a long way toward fighting childhood obesity!!!!

... And you don't even need to be a world-class skater to have fun when you lace up your roller skates!!!!

Kids as young as 2 or 3 can easily learn to skate!

... And roller skating isn't just for kids, either!!!! We regularly see skaters as old as 60, 70 & 80 at our roller rink ... One gent turned 86 last March and is still rolling every week!!!!

So, when it's time to celebrate, make a date to roller skate!!!!

We'll be watching for you!
