Recapturing the magic of Penn State football
Kiera Missanelli
is a senior journalism major at Pennsylvania State University
"I shook hands with the president and then rode to Beaver Stadium on a blue bus just like the ones coach Joe Paterno and the team used. In the president's suite, I sat behind giant glass windows, shielded from the snowstorm outside. I sipped on a giant mug of hot chocolate and watched Paterno's 409th win.
Nothing could define Happy Valley magic more than that moment."

But rising from the devastating details of last summer's Freeh report, and even with the crippling NCAA sanctions, has come the hope of this year's rebuilt football team.
And when Penn State beat Northwestern in a homecoming victory, the lyrics of the alma mater seemed like were more than just a college song.
They made us feel restored."
