**Hereโs a good laugh. Some rules to live by from the basketball coach in โTeen Wolf.โ
"There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that and everything else is cream cheese." pic.twitter.com/SJpsK0TOVL

**Could Penn State’s season opener at Indiana be played on Friday night, Oct. 23, instead of Saturday? Hoosiers coach Tom Allen apparently isn’t sure.
All schedules list the game for Saturday the 24th. But the Big Ten certainly could be looking to move games to Friday nights this year, and the PSU at Indiana contest would be a reasonable and good draw on a Friday as perhaps the league’s opening game of the season.
Allen says IU still doesn't know if its opener vs. Penn State will be Friday night or Saturday. #iufb

I received this message from a PSU spokesman about the possibility of a Friday game:
โThe Big Tenโs schedule announcement referenced the season opening the weekend of Oct. 24. We have not received additional information from the conference office at this time.โ
