    Quitting Smoking

    Quitting smoking is supposed to be harder than quitting heroin. One of my college roommates at Penn State smoked and I tried to get him to quit in coliege back in the late 70’s. I told him if kept on smoking he would die from lung cancer. He just couldn’t break the habit and only a couple of...

    OT:Florida Woman LoL

    The Champ. What an easy course! LOL. So easy that the touring pros complained it was unfair and they changed a couple holes to make them a little less difficult. I played ita few times and it destroyed me. My father used to work in scoring at all the tournaments as a volunteer. He was a...

    OT:Florida Woman LoL

    My parents lived at PGA National at that time. I don't remember them telling me about that story, but probably because they thought it was so stupid it wasn't worth mentioning. They had a place there from 1981 to 2007.

    “At Big Ten spring meetings, coaches lobby for 24-team playoff”

    A 16 game playoff would make more sense. However, these college athletic administrators are not rocket scientists.

    OT Does anyone on the board own a classic car or a muscle car?

    Nice. I had always wanted a 1969 or 1970 Boss 302 Mustang. My neighbor’s 69 Corvette with 3 deuces, one of only a handful made, has cured me of wanting a true vintage muscle car. He has had nothing but problem after problem with it. Eventually found out it had a cracked engine block. Other...

    Allar & Steelers.

    I was surprised to see him drafted as high as he was. Most experts (NFL scouts and talent evaluators) had him as a day 3 pick. The Steelers reached for him, which is what desperate organizations do. He has the measureables, but also has a lot of flaws that I am not sure are fixable. We will see.

    100 Greatest Guitar Solos of all time.....

    As a guitar player myself, this list is absolute garbage. Also, a forum I participate on that is basically comprised of guitar players, professionals to beginners has widely panned this list. Definitely some of the solos deserve to be on the list, but some for the listed artist isn’t even...

    OT: National Lampoon Magazine.

    I remember when they lost a lawsuit with Ted Kennedy over a comical “ad” for a VW Beetle that said if Teddy Kennedy had a VW Bug Chappaquiddick would never had happened. That’s when VW used to advertise that the Beetle was so well built that it was watertight and would float.

    FC/OT: Univ. of Alabama unveils $47mm golf facility....

    I know someone who was a varsity golfer on scholarship for University of Alabama in the late 70’s. I bet he would have loved to have had that facility.

    Chaz Coleman and Tennessee in the News

    Warren, OH is about the same drive time to Penn State as it was to O$U. That’s why he didn’t have a problem going to PSU. TN is about double that time so obviously he is more isolated from his home boys.
