No Whitehouse game for Penn State in 2010

We were dismayed when we saw photos of the 2010 season tickets, courtesy of Justin C, the founder of Nittany Nation.

Temple as the Whitehouse game??? So much for tradition!

If you embiggen the image by clicking on it, you'll see "EVERYONE WEAR WHITE!" for the Temple game and that it's listed as Whitehouse, All-University, Varsity "S" Day.

For Temple? No thanks! What's next, Indiana State as a Whitehouse game?

Not to worry, Penn State has dumped this dog of an idea says it's a big misunderstanding and the next Whitehouse game will be against Alabama on September 10, 2011.

According to Alex Cohen, the president of Paternoville...

"Honestly, it was just a ticket misprint. There was no Whitehouse planned for this year."

Nice spin job. We're just glad the tradition won't be watered down.

Smith was diagnosed in 2002 and given two or three years to live. His body is wasting away and he needs a computer to communicate, but he's still fighting.

Steve's body is nearly useless, but his mind is still sharp. According to his wife, Chie...

"He'll send me this e-mail, maybe only twice a year, that says, 'I'm really tired of being sick, but I don't want to give up because I want to play basketball with Dante again, and I want to be able to take Jazmin out on a date.

"'I want to go on vacation and sit on the sand and watch the ocean like we did before.'"

You can help the Smiths by making donations to help defray the cost of Steve's treatments. Former offensive coordinator Fran Ganter will make sure the money gets to them...
