Big Nut Has Finally Accumulated Enough Flair To Be Employable At T.G.I. Friday's
Jon Peters—known to those in Ohio State enthusiast circles as Big Nut—makes regular appearances on television during Buckeye games due mostly to his ridiculous appearance.

Eight Of 10 Alleged Sandusky Victims Claim They Were Molested On PSU Campus
In January, Jerry Sandusky's attorney, Joe Amendola, asked prosecutors for more information about the alleged victims in the case.

With Landon Donovan unfit to take the pitch, the U.S. wasn't given much chance to beat Italy in today's international friendly match in Genoa.

Memo: Weeks After Sandusky's Arrest, PSU President Was Really Pumped That Only Eight Prospective Students Had Withdrawn Their Applications
Less than a month after Jerry Sandusky had been arrested and the Penn State damage-control thresher had mowed down Joe Paterno, newly installed PSU president Rodney Erickson began sending out stupidly triumphant memoranda to the university's board of trustees.
