Golfing in Myrtle Beach this past September. I had PSU hat on and the guy loading my bag voiced "We Are".
Probably thought he would get a bigger tip.😏. I would assume he would say "Roll Tide" if a golfer wore Bama hat.🤔

Cynic! But probably reality

I was doing a presentation on Crappie fishing to a local fishing club and got one several weeks ago. What's funny is that it was about 15 miles from Clemson University and only a couple of weeks after our bowl game this year.....awkward.....
I’m interested in learning more about your crappie fishing. That’s my favorite fish to target and eat. Have you published articles or books on the topic?

Nope, but I'm the best. The best. ;) Send me a private message and let me know where you fish for them. If I have any knowledge about how to target them, I'll let you know. I'm in South Carolina now where I fish for them a LOT during the winter and spring, but I also fish for them in Pennsylvania and New York in the summertime and they can be fairly easy to catch on the right water.

If you do want books/videos, the Lindners and the In-Fisherman stuff really is good. I'm not sure what they call their company/product these days (it's not In-Fisherman anymore, I think it's Lindner's Angling Edge now), but you can find them on Youtube or they've put out a good many books on the subject.

I was picking up my grandkids from their last day at camp yesterday wearing a PSU Football t-shirt I picked up somewhere along the way when the head of the camp waived me aside with a “We Are” greeting (to which I immediately gave the required response). Turns out his eldest son attended one of the branch campuses and recently graduated with an engineering degree. Penn Staters are everywhere.

Back in April of 2018, my wife and I were in Iowa City to attend our niece’s wedding. We were in the parking lot of the hotel where we were staying and we were wearing Penn State clothes, when we heard a We Are to which we responded Penn State. We turned around to find it was Casey Cunningham giving us the We Are. Later that night we were in the lounge at the hotel and we saw Casey there with David Taylor and Bo Nickal. So I went over and chatted with them for a little and my brother-in-law snapped a few pics for me. It turns out they were in Iowa City for some freestyle competition and were staying at the same hotel.

I wonder how DT responds to WE ARE nowadays. 🤔

I just got home from a week in Columbus, OH (business). I wore PSU gear every night and got three We Are’s.

Not a single person gave me any crap, which may be indicative of a low opinion of our athletic program (outside of wrestling, of course).

Downtown Columbus is quite nice. The Horseshoe was gorgeous - I was surprised how nice. Campus itself is nice, but I much prefer Penn State’s diversity in architecture and open space between buildings.

Rumors are after this year Nationwide Arena in Columbus will become the permanent home of the Big 10 tournament 🤷

Maybe you can answer the question: WTF is going on in Columbus?

Man, you’ve been to a different city than the Columbus I know. I grew up in Ohio and find Columbus to be a cesspool full of bank and insurance buildings. It’s totally devoid of character or a soul. I’m glad you enjoyed your time there, but I’ll take Cleveland over Cowtown all day long.

By the way, am I the only one who has never seen a horseshoe shaped like that? I need to float that one past Chris Cox…

I’ve never been to Columbus, but based on what I know about the geography of the US, I’ll bet it’s pretty flat all around the area.

I liked the hills and mountains around Penn State where you were able to drive just a short distance and see natural scenery. Plus, as I grew up in the Harrisburg area, I loved the drive along the river when I visited home.

WE ARE. …. !!!!!

This is a thread we had on the Rivals site to report where/when we got a We Are outside of PA.

Just got one at Universal Studios.
Well…not outside of PA, but I routinely get about 55,000 We Are’s several times a day on some days at University Park!

My grandson was less than 1 at the time and had an episode that ended in a helicopter ride to UPMC Children's. The medical team was brilliant and great and diagnosed the problem and how to address it. So I thought it appropriate to get him a Pitt shirt to say thank you. I walked down to the Pitt bookstore on Forbes and after looking around a clerk ask if she could help me find anything. I gave her a brief summary of the need for a shirt and then not being able to help myself I ask her where they kept their Penn State attire. She smiled and said not here sir, but my entire family except for me went to Penn State, so they only thing I can offer is "we are".
So my favorite "we are" is the one I got in the Pitt book store.

Got one in Tbilisi, Soviet Georgia back in the 1990's attending the tournament and had a PSU hat on. Ironically it was a very accomplished Russian wrestler no longer competing who gave me the shout out! It was Sergei Beloglazoz. He had worked the Russian Houk camp at Camp Maple Lake outside Williamsport (Gene Mills held his Pin2Win camps there after Russ passed away) and knew a lot of PSU guys.

That’s pretty amazing. I think “very accomplished” is a bit of an understatement for Beloglazov. He’s one of the very best wrestlers ever.

A number of years ago I was dropping a package off at a FedEx location near where I live in Massachusetts when a guy entered the drop-off location and called out “Who’s PSUFAN”? I responded that that’s my car (PSUFAN is my vanity plate), wondering if I had somehow blocked him in. He walked over, shook my hand and introduced himself “I’m Jon Williams, very nice to meet you.” We had a very nice conversation during which he offered to get me onto the sideline to meet Joe at that weekend’s homecoming game. Unfortunately, I couldn’t go - I had to be in Buffalo. Great RB and wonderful individual.
Awesome thanks for sharing

I also have a vanity plate…”PSU*WRES”. That plate has lead to many nice convestations.

I just got back from the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ. While walking through the parking lot, I saw a SUV parked in the valet parking area with the AZ license plate PSU87 and it had a Penn State frame around it. When I went inside, I asked the nurse for a blank sheet of paper and a blue magic marker which she happened to have at her desk.

I wrote WE ARE. …. ! on the paper and left it tucked under the windshield wiper. Hopefully the valet didn’t remove it when he delivered the car to the driver.

Crazy cutting and packaging was part of the deal 🤷 wish I knew these guys years ago 😁

Come on Corby, I thought you were a strict innocent until proven guilty guy. How do you know they weren’t just cutting and packaging gym chalk so students could keep a solid grip on all of the books that they carry to class? Perhaps the local stores only carry substandard chalk so they had to travel to Philly & New York to get the quality magnesium carbonate that the students need for their academic success. Perhaps their garage door closer was malfunctioning and they had to crawl on their hands and knees to leave the house in order to deliver the chalk to their needy customers.
