Penn State Football Game Stats go Moblie

UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn State fans, alumni and students can now access free, live game statistics for Penn State Football games via their mobile phones. The Department of Athletics Thursday announced that the service offering real-time stats, scoring summaries and other relevant game information provides another means for fans to follow the Nittany Lions from virtually anywhere.

MyLEADERBOARD, the product's official name, is compatible on a wide array of "smartphones," including Windows Mobile, Blackjack, Blackberry and Palm devices. The download is offered at no cost with standard text message service, but data usage and carrier fees may apply. Fans can access the service in two ways:

-- Go to Penn State Athletics' official Web site. Click on the banner ad promoting PSU Football Mobile, or fans also can also click here. Upon entry of phone number and cell carrier, fans will receive a message on their mobile phone with a downloadable link. Activate the link and the application is automatically downloaded. A new page appears on the Web site confirming the process.

-- Fans also may access PSU Football Mobile directly from their mobile device. Enter the address http://cstv.myleaderboard.com/psu.html into the browser, and compatible devices will be prompted to download the application (non-compatible devices will be redirected to the WAP version).

The new technology, made possible by myLEADERBOARD Inc. and CBS College Sports Network, was introduced to Penn State by Bob Fiori, president of Janus Marketing and a Penn State graduate.
