Stupid beer throwing Pi Kappa Alpha frat boys make Penn State look bad

More is coming to light about an infamous beer throwing incident at Pi Kappa Alpha that has been covered by all sorts of media and blogs. Basically, some Ohio State fans in team jerseys got beers thrown at them by Pi Kappa Alpha “brothers.” I’ve seen the video and you can too if you [...]

Blue White Roundtable: blah

Alex at The Nittany Notebook has this week’s questions.
1. After being embarrassed by Ohio State at home, where does Penn State’s program as a whole go from here?The program goes on about its business, uninterested in changing anything. That isn’t what I want to happen, but it is what will happen. Oh and neither Daryl [...]

Free "taco" day

From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Taco Hell Bell is giving out free tacos. Apparently, it has to with MLB somehow. I may go after work and before my flag football game because that would be the best decision ever.
