A Nittany Lions football game is going to happen tomorrow, whether we're ready for it or not.

A Curated Selection Of Jerry Sandusky's Writings From The Annual Reports Of His Youth Charity
Jerry Sandusky founded The Second Mile in 1977. The charity probably issued some form of an annual report from the start.
