Penn State on the Big Ten Network: Aug. 18-24, 2008

With the 2008 football season just around the corner, Penn State will be featured this week (Aug. 18-24) in multiple programs on the Big Ten Network. One of the highlights of the week will be a special edition of Big Ten Tonight from Nittany Lion football pre-season practice at 9 p.m. on Thursday (Aug. 21). Among other highlights are two classic Big Ten wins by the Lions -- a 1994 come-from-behind victory at Illinois that preserved a perfect season, and a 2001 victory over Ohio State that made Joe Paterno the winningest coach in big-time college football.

The following is a list of Penn State programming on the Big Ten Network for the week of Aug.  18 – Aug. 24. This schedule can also be found at:
