	What's a Nittany Lion?
		Since Penn State is located in the Nittany Valley at the foot of Mount Nittany, the lion was designated as a Nittany Lion.
		In regional folklore, Nittany (or Nita-Nee) was a valorous Indian princess in whose honor the Great Spirit caused Mount Nittany to be formed.
		Penn State's Nittany Lion shrine was dedicated on Oct. 24, 1942, during Homecoming Weekend.

	Nittany Lion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The origin of the name "Mount Nittany" is obscure, the most commonly accepted explanation being that it is derived of Native American words (loosely pronounced as "neet-a-nee") meaning either "single mountain" or a protective barrier against the elements.
		The Nittany Lion is the mascot of the Pennsylvania State University in State College, Pennsylvania in the United States.
		In 1907, the first tangible lion symbols appeared with the placing of two alabaster African lion statues, left over from the Pennsylvania exhibit at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, atop the columns at the main campus entrance on College and Allen streets.

	Bill's Pennsylvania Hiking Journal
		Mount Nittany in State College is a nice day hike since it's very steep and has a lo0t of nice views, but it's too populated to really enjoy the 'hiking experience'.
		Shingletown Gap offers another nice vantage point to some excellent hiking, especially in the fall, but it too is quite popular, so you might want to explore some of the more off-beat trails from there.
		There are thousands of miles of trails in Pennsylvania, and many of them are kept secret in Centre County, near State College.

		In Centre County, home of Penn State University, you can take the Mount Nittany Express (Route 322) or the Nittany Parkway (Route 26) to tailgate at Beaver Stadium.

		Phoebus was not a major factor in 2000-01 for the nittany lions, and did not ride at any of the shows in 2001-02.
		Phoebus winning at the beginning of the day may have sparked the nittany lions, as Alyssa Srock (third in novice fences), Kara Spengler (second in novice flat) and Nicole Connolly (first in walk-trot) all helped lift Penn State to 25 points and third place.
		The "Equiterps" as they are known in zone 4, region 1 thus were officially fifth place, though Mount Holyoke and Maryland both claimed 18 points (one wonders what would have happened if neither Douglas nor Quarles had placed in intermediate flat.
