Penn State Practices at Bishop Lynch High School for the TicketCity Bowl

This week I will be covering Penn State's activities, for The Associated Press, as they prepare for the TicketCity Bowl. Penn State is using the Bishop Lynch High School facilities for practice this week as they prepare to take on the Houston Cougars Jan. 2 in the TicketCity Bowl at the Cotton Bowl in Fair Park. Penn State Interim Head coach Tom Bradley gave a rather lengthy interview before the practice discussing a wide range of topics including the scandal involving Jerry Sandusky. Bradley wouldn't comment on the matter, instead focused on how they are excited to play a team like Houston.

Dallas Mavericks fall to the Denver Nuggets 115-93 Monday night at the AAC.

The Mavs are off to a rough start this year. Down nearly 30 points at one point, they looked nothing like the championship team they were last year. Khloe Kardashian, Lamar Odom's wife, was in attendance as well. She was swarmed by fans while leaving at the end of the game.
