Penn State - NIT Champions!

Congratulations to Penn State for winning its first-ever basketball tournament. My Nittany Lions beat Baylor in the National Invitational Tournament at Madison Square Garden tonight, 69 - 63. Before I watched the game on ESPN, I walked past the Garden and scoped the pumped-up Penn State fans entering the arena. Thirty-six buses filled with students and fans (including legendary football coach Joe Paterno) left campus this morning - headed toward NYC. Madison Square Garden was packed with Nittany Lion fans as a result.


I don't follow basketball at all, but I should have - since some of the Penn State players were HOT. First of all, I present to you the MVP of the game ... big man Jamelle Cornley...


And his little buddy, the adorable Talor Battle...

WE ARE ... PENN STATE!!

Daddy Of The Day - Kobe Bryant

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant set a record at New York's Madison Square Garden on Monday night. Bryant not only passed Michael Jordan for the most points scored by an opponent at the current Garden, he passed Bernard King, the former Knicks great, for the most points scored by anyone there. Kobe scored 61 points in the Lakers win over the Knicks - 126 to 117. But more importantly, Bryant is today's Daddy of the Day...
