Heading into the '08 season, the men's soccer team focused on building a new culture and identity. With the departure of long time coach Larry Sullivan and the insertion of new Head Coach Tom Carlin along with an influx of young, heralded players, the '08 team appears quite different than the '07 team.

Athletic Department officials are overhauling the season-ticket policy for the men's basketball program in an effort to transform the student section into a more formidable sixth man.
Starting this year, participants in the annual tradition of The Line - the surprise nighttime announcement and overnight Palestra bash where students trade sleep for tickets - will now get a general-admissions pass to the stud ent section of the Palestra, rather than a reserved seat for every game.

There are many reasons why San Diego Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman has decided to play football this upcoming season instead of having surgery on his torn LCL and PCL. Merriman believes the Chargers are on the verge of a Super Bowl. He also knows that after the '09 season, his contract is up, and missing an entire year would considerably hurt his bank account.

The Joe Sandberg Era is officially over in the Penn backfield. But the mourning period is long over, and the first touch is less than three weeks away for the former all-Ivy running back's heir apparent.
Or, perhaps more accurately, his heir apparents.
Prior to preseason practices, sophomore Mike DiMaggio seemed like the sure successor - he performed more than admirably in Sandberg's place at the end of last season, taking home Ivy Rookie of the Week honors twice.

It wasn't that long ago that the United States of America lost soccer superstar Abby Wambach to injury, just before the Olympics began in Beijing, China. But despite that injury and a previous dispute between USA goalkeeper Hope Solo and the coaching staff, the team went to the games of the 29th Olympiad, and they did not leave until they had a gold medal.

It's a new semester. That means you can count on three things: bad food, freshmen vomiting and the glorious return of Around The Dorm.

Many at the College were stunned last year when beloved men's baseball coach Rick Dell headed east to serve as an ambassador for the game he's always loved. One year later, it looks like the move was a success for Dell, who was a major player at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, even tossing out the first pitch during an opening round game between the United States and Korea.

Seemingly at ease, Jon Kalnas sits, with his feet up in his recliner as he tunes into a primetime Olympic special. After 11 straight months of training, he finally enjoys a night at his parents' house in his hometown.

Recruitment rarely bolsters starting lineups instantly. Coaches draft players with the realistic goal of improving their teams in the long run.
However, this year's incoming class is an exception. Several quality soccer and field hockey recruits with solid backgrounds will make an immediate impact in game-play situations.

After couple of down seasons, Madden 09 returns to playoffs.
Over the past few years, the Madden franchise has gone 8-8. In other words, the game has been rather average. While older versions have featured more in-depth franchise modes and the addition of Superstar mode, overall it hasn't impressed.
