My name is Aaron Yorke and I graduated from Penn State in 2008. I sort of came to PSU from Central New Jersey for the football, but I stayed for the basketball. OK, I would have stayed no matter what, but the point is, I didn't realize how much I would enjoy Penn State Basketball back in 2004. I jumped on the bandwagon when it was empty, and I've been rewarded so far with an NIT title as well as an NCAA tourney appearance. Of course, I still love the football as well as pretty much everything else Penn State.
