With warmer weather returning to State College this week, and a wellness day Thursday, it is a great time to get outside and enjoy the sunshine.
For myself, I welcome the warmer weather returning, as the frigid wind chill and countless snow storms have forced me to remain inside my apartment for a bulk of this semester thus far.
With only so many places to go with cold weather (grocery store, library, etc.), I have gotten a little stir crazy in my bedroom.
As the temperature is set to reach the mid-60s this week, I plan on taking this as an opportunity to get outside for some fresh air.
Enter the grounds of Nittany Mall and you might be struck by the sheer emptiness of it all. Especially to those of us who grew up going to shiny shopping
Barbour, who
joined the Penn State Coaches Show Monday night, said Penn State hopes to make sure it can have “as many Penn Staters who want to be in Beaver Stadium” and other on-campus venues, like Rec Hall and Pegula Ice Arena, as possible next fall by emphasizing mask-wearing and social distancing today. She said ongoing vaccine distribution across the country will help those efforts, too.
Ultimately, though, Penn State’s plans will rely on the pandemic’s trends and trajectory over the spring and summer.
“All of our efforts, all of our planning, is to be able to have full venues, and we’re just going to have to monitor the COVID situation and the advice,” Barbour said. “But we’re going to push really hard. We’re going to prepare for venues where every Penn Stater who wants to come, and who has a ticket, has the opportunity to do that.”

Disclaimer: The author realizes that the 2021 are probably going to be burning in Salary Cap Hell and can’t pony up much money for free agents. However, you never know what they have planned and it’s the author’s responsibility to highlight the free agent options.
The Steelers have good receivers and draft the position well, But JuJu Smith-Schuster is a free agent and may not be retained. If he doesn’t come back, a lot of the guys on the top of the charts won’t be coming in. But bargains could be found out there with players like Golden Tate now on the market. Should the Steelers decide that they need to address the position in free agency, this is who is looking for a deal at the position.
