For once, the light at the end of the tunnel may not be an oncoming train.
Penn State opens up the Big Ten basketball season with consecutive road victories. Recap from Black Shoe Diaries. Video and other statistical brilliance from the minty-fresh Happy Valley Hoops.

Sometime this week, assuming the deities of scheduling and free time conspire, we’ll have a Q&A with UncleLar, the proprieter of Happy Valley Hoops.









Good link, I’ve already added HV Hoops to Google Reader.
The looks like the esculator at Dupont Circle Metro.
I think it may be. I know the picture is from the D.C. area somewhere.
Who really cares about this football nonsense anyway? I mean, PSU is really more of a basketball school these days.
Hey, I’ve heard rumors of a 4 tix, 4 sodas, and 4 hot dogs for $40 deal for this Saturday’s game against Minnesota. Anyone with info on this? Couldn’t find anything through the PSU site.
At that price, I’m thinking of getting four tickets…for myself.

If they beat Minnesota, that Wisconsin game next week is huge.

If we can actually keep this up, we won’t NEED gimmicky promotions to get fannies in the empty blue seats.
Hell, we might even bring down a curtain or two…
When it comes to hot dog & soda packages, I always get results:
Follow link, then click on 1/12 Minnesota game for info. Apparently, you need to call the PSU ticket office for this deal. If you buy tix through Ticketmaster - no soda for you!
Who’s with me? Let’s gooooooo!

I went to about a dozen games when I was a junior-senior-supersenior. I might have paid to get into half of them. I’d show up right before tip off, they’d wave me in and I’d meet up with friends in the student section.
By the way, Pennsylvania’s favorite columnist has a blog called Basketball Jones up on pennlive.com now.
