HIGH ROLLER Beaver Stadium prepares to host its first concert By Gabrielle Barone THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Beaver Stadium has held football games, chicken baskets, and thousands of screaming fans. Now the stadium will hold fans of a different nature for its first concert, the Happy Valley Jam. The concert will feature artists Blake Shelton, Chris Young, the duo Big & Rich, David Ray, and Adley Stump. For two of the performers, Happy Valley Jam will serve as a re- union. Shelton, a Grammy nominee, served as a judge on the television show “The Voice,” where he chose Stump as part of season two’s “Team Blake,” giving her the chance to expand her vocal talents. “It feels great to be reunited with my Voice coach and such a great lineup of friends and artists I look up to,” Stump said via email. Stump also performed at 4th Fest on Tuesday and will perform at Downtown State College’s ‘First Friday’ event alongside Ben Gal- laher, so her set during the Jam will mark her third performance in State College. “This will be our first time coming to play the area and I couldn’t be more excited for the week,” Stump said. “We have some amaz- ing shows planned, radio has been incredibly welcoming, and we are honored to be able to ring in the 4th of July with Central [Pennsylva- nia]. I look forward to getting to meet as many new people as I can during our week in PA.” Penn State Deputy Athletic Director Phil Esten said he and Di- rector of Athletics Sandy Barbour hoped to plan an outdoor concert since their placement at the university.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • New York Times 1 November 5, 2011 Former Coach at Penn State Is Charged with Abuse by MARK VIERA
    New York Times 1 November 5, 2011 Former Coach at Penn State Is Charged With Abuse By MARK VIERA A former defensive coordinator for the Penn State football team was arrested Saturday on charges of sexually abusing eight boys across a 15-year period. Jerry Sandusky, 67, who had worked with needy children through his Second Mile foundation, was arraigned and released on $100,000 bail after being charged with 40 counts related to sexual abuse of young boys. Two top university officials — Gary Schultz, the senior vice president for finance and business, and Tim Curley, the athletic director — were charged Saturday with perjury and failure to report to authorities what they knew of the allegations, as required by state law. “This is a case about a sexual predator who used his position within the university and community to repeatedly prey on young boys,” the Pennsylvania attorney general, Linda Kelly, said in a statement. Mr. Sandusky was an assistant defensive coach to Joe Paterno, the coach with the most career victories in major college football, who helped propel Penn State to the top tiers of the sport. Until now, the Big Ten university had one of the most sterling images in college athletics, largely thanks to Mr. Paterno and his success in 46 seasons as head coach. A grand jury said that when Mr. Paterno learned of one allegation of abuse in 2002, he immediately reported it to Mr. Curley. The grand jury did not implicate Mr. Paterno in any wrongdoing,though it was unclear if he ever followed up on his initial conversation with Mr.
