Today is the first day of classes at Penn State. They already recorded 148 new Covid-positive tests last week, so the show is just getting started. Any guesses as to how long before the students are told to pack up and go back home? I give it a month.

I thought for sure the position would go unfilled until it is determined if there is a season. Congrats to the new asst coach. Meanwhile, Notre Dame announced it might send kids home.

Well, it's not hockey, but it might be a sign of things to come for hockey - the Big Ten cancelled Fall sports, including football, soccer, women's volleyball, cross country, and field hockey.

"The Big Ten Conference will continue to evaluate a number of options regarding these sports, including the possibility of competition in the spring. Decisions regarding winter and spring sports will also continue to be evaluated."
