    Saturdays Hospitality Pass

    About 2 weeks ago I received from Athletics an opportunity to purchase passes for a Hospitality Suite in the Club Lounge at Beaver Stadium. It’s basically a place to kill time between Saturdays sessions from 2-6. Free food and drink, beer included, not Liquor though. Passes were $125 each but I...

    F.C. - Does The CIA Make People Disappear? CIA Spy Reveals his duration in the agency

    Damn you for introducing me to this guys videos. I find them to be absolutely fascinating. I’ve wondered how accurate Hollywood has been in portraying life as a CIA spy.

    OT: If you had to choose a 5 year span of music to listen to exclusively (nothing else), where would the years fall?

    I would take the same time frame, which coincidentally are the years I attended Dear old State. My Sirius/XM channels will bear that out. 80’s on 8, First Wave channel 33, and Classic Rock channel 25. All presets, along with College Sports channel 84, on my car radio.

    Beaver Stadium reconstruction thread

    Also, who’s in charge of updating the out of town scores. Because cell service is so $hitty, I didn’t know Klimpson had lost until I left the stadium.

    Beaver Stadium reconstruction thread

    I sat in the new temporary section yesterday. Lots of stairs, but you can take an escalator to the concourse, and then deal with the stairs to get to your seats. Funny moment yesterday, as everybody was standing up for the National Anthem, there was an obvious “swaying” of the section...

    HVU Donation

    I feel your pain. My son just graduated from Dear Ole State 9 months ago. I am well aware of the cost.

    HVU Donation

    I have been thinking about making a donation to Happy Valley United lately. I guess in this new world of NIL all of us need to step up and start writing some checks. While I am by no means a millionaire, I do have some disposable income. Some questions: Does 100% of my donation go to benefit...

    2023-24 PSU Men's Ice Hockey Thread

    Anyone know why PSU goal in the 3rd was disallowed last night? The refs mic wasn’t working very well and it was at the far side of the ice from where I was sitting.

    Excellent article on Jerry Sandusky’s probable innocence. It really isn’t hard to see

    The reason Curley and Shultz were dragged in to this mess is because their testimony would contradict that of McQ (“we were told it was horseplay and not sexual in nature.”) The AG’s office needed to silence them and charging them was the best way to keep them quiet. Paterno and Spanier didn’t...

    Michigan/FSU

    I think that had UGa won, the committee would have taken the 4 undefeated conference champions, that means FSU would have been in. Bama winning derailed those plans. The CFP wanted the SEC champ, but they couldn’t take Bama without taking Texas because we were told all along that head to head...

    RIP: Marty Kroft

    I swear these guys were on acid when they were coming up with the concepts for these shows. I was Sigmund the Sea Monster fan, along with Land of the Lost as a kid.

    In The You Can’t Make This S*** Up Category

    Diaz should at least have been nominated. Best team defense in average yards against in the NCAA in 12 years is pretty good.

    Outrage

    I wonder if they did. I have not seen it since the first time I saw it.
