    If we lose, cont'd.....I'm actually calm....

    I get too nervous to watch the game so I didn't look at the score until Sunday morning. With PSU track record in big games, I was fully prepared for the results. But you know what? I'm one of those fans that is happy with an 11-win season. People who call for Franklin to be fired are...

    How old am I now?

    69 1/2. Always thought I would die before I hit 80 because of family history. Still relatively healthy but it gets scarier every year knowing its 1 year closer to death.

    Do you think if there was proof of aliens, that Mankind would come together?

    Just this past week I watched an old Outer Limits from season 1. In the story, they were modifying Robert Culp genetically to make him into an alien. The hope was to scare mankind into coming together as one. Didn't work - they shot the alien on first sight.

    Curiosity to OdShowtime collection of Vinyl, sparked if other posters collect anything.

    Interesting story on the Honus Wagner baseball. My Dad was 11 yo and was at a boy scout banquet in 1939 at the Kaufman Hotel in Zelienople. He approached Wagner at the bar to get his autograph. Wagner was drunk and very rude to him but signed the ball. My Dad never followed baseball again...

    Curiosity to OdShowtime collection of Vinyl, sparked if other posters collect anything.

    I'm trying to downsize. My daughter is not interested in much of anything my wife and I collected. I sold off a small collection of baseball cards, the 1st edition of Playboy, and a baseball signed by Honus Wagner for about $2000. Stuff that we collected as collectables (beanie babies...

    AKB: Difficult Question... "When do you know it's time to say goodbye to your dog?"

    WE went through this in May with our pup Cody(15yo). We had his annual Vet checkup 3 weeks before we put him down. He was doing great and we thought we would get another 2 years out of him because he was so healthy. He went downhill quickly. My wife, an ex-ER Nurse, really believes in...

    Hillgrove to Retire.

    I was just out of PSU in 1979 when I worked for a small AM station in Ebensburg. My boss was trying his hand at a golf tournament and had invited a crazy number of famous people (Arnie, Nicholas, Joe, etc.) Of course they weren't going to play for free. However, we did get Jackie Sherrill, Bob...

    Pittsburgh Sports Legends - Bob Prince

    Back in 1979, I was fresh out of college and working at a radio station in Ebensburg. My boss wanted to have a golf tournament fundraiser so he invited Bob Prince, Jackie Sherrill, and Bill Hillgrove to come. I had the pleasure of picking them up in Monroeville. I was like a fly on the wall...

    Congratulations Sean, James, and entire team

    Thanks Guys for the GREAT effort in the Rose Bowl. I thought PSU should have been ranked in the top 20 before the season started. A lot of doubters proved wrong.

    Would you buy your kid a house if….

    I gave my Daughter and future SIL $40000 to help with their new house. I vowed that I would never do that because what kind of lesson would that teach them. However, the way the market was crazy during Covid and houses going for a huge premium, I didn't want them buried under a huge mortgage...
