[Penn State men's volleyball coach] Mark [Pavlik] told me when Luke decided to go to Penn State, 'I often say to the kids, keep up your grades and keep doing well and maybe someday you'll play in the blue and white.' Mark told me he actually remembers saying that to Luke. For it to happen to Gary and Jay, too, is incredible. |

This really shows students career opportunities. |
To say you're against the war is different than saying you're against the troops. |
We are on the map as part of the nationwide effort to call attention to things going on in the country, and to allow students to express their thoughts in an interesting way. |
When they were off of the court, they had true genuine friendships. They spent a lot of time together off of the court. I think a lot of the time it doesn't happen. We always thought that that was kind of a neat thing. |
