The end of winter and the onslaught of spring traditionally represent an awakening, and nowhere is this more evident than at Penn State. Aside from the signs of nature springing back to life, the University itself seems to shake off a deep sleep.
Students venture outside, shorts and T-shirts replace winter clothes.
Everything is wide awake. Except for sports. Springtime is when sports at Penn State are just getting settled in for a nap. While the rest of Happy Valley is rolling out of bed, the local sports scene is clocking z's. But they just can't seem to get much attention or respect.
