◊ There is a big game tonight. Sure, not big like what Michigan State is hyping up for; but it's big for Penn State. Remember this is a program that is historically terrible, with mediocrity being viewed as a major achievement. Here are a few links to get your blood going for tonight's game, some football links to note, and a link to the great new addition to Zombie Nation... our own

Basketball
? Nittany White Out throws some questions around with a Notre Dame blogger.
? The Nittany Line presents a pretty dig at Notre Dame and the Big East; definitely worth reading for the entertainment value.
? Crispin & Cream, being the only basketball-only Penn State blog out there, gives the best technical look into the matchup.
Football
? Former tackle Phil Taylor (kicked off the team in 2007 for fighting) took a hard dig at Penn State and Joe Paterno in a recent interview by the Big XII ESPN blogger. (HT: Adam) Now, I realize Paterno's not as peachy as the ice cream suggests, but you can't really feel for Taylor. He said he was treated unfairly. Well, maybe he shouldn't have put himself in that position in the first place. Just sayin'...
? Syracuse doesn't think it will win at Penn State this season, so it's going to use it as a learning experience for a new quarterback. Yup, the Orangemen are going to start a true freshman signal caller this year. His second game will be in Beaver Stadium. Welcome to college football, pal!
? CFN came out with its very early Heisman contenders, not including the "Big Three." It's a short, but good list, and strikingly similar to another one floating around out there.

Penn State's Simon Birch, Joe Paterno, was on hand last night to see Penn State's Men's hoops team advance to the NIT finals. During an interview, JoPa spouted about the good old days - when basketball was a Jew sport: "Everyone says it's a black mans game. When I played it was a Jewish mans game." Bill Raftery: "Yeah a city game right?"

◊ Penn State played a fantastic first half against Notre Dame in the NIT semifinal game tonight at Madison Square Garden. Even though the Lions got a bit sloppy during their runs, it was still about a 18-point margin most of the half. Talor Battle is having his way with the Irish defense, while Penn State's defense is doing just enough (also due to Notre Dame's horrid...

◊ I guess Penn State just wanted to make things interesting down the stretch. If so, the Lions succeeded, as Notre Dame was able to close a one-time 19-point deficit to four points with only a few minutes left. But, in true Penn State style, the Lions didn't roll over and die under the pressure. Jamelle Cornley, Talor Battle and David Jones weren't going to let that happen...
