    OT: 50 years ago today...

    As a freshman, I brought this album with me to Penn State. First time I played it, the guys in the room next to told to stop playing that crap. A month later I couldn’t get them to stop playing the album. They played it so much I got sick of it and couldn’t listen to it until years later.

    I just saw on the ESPN scroll that a Cleveland Browns player . . .

    Sounds like fake news. I follow the Browns to some degree and have not seen or heard anything about this.

    NFL Preseason

    I see he has regressed back to his usual self. Ever was excited after his first preseason game performance. I think now, not so much. Lots of work to do to become an NFL quarterback.

    AKB Tell me about your Sprinter van/camper

    We just sold our Pleasureway Ford Transit based RV. It was not a dually and designed to be able to park in a regular parking spot. More convenient than the majority of RV’s. We decided not to get the Sprinter based RV after talking with a lot of people, because we were going to use our RV...

    RIP Frank Beard, ZZ Top Drummer

    Down to one member. A lot of bands from their early days (contemporaries) have lost a lot of members. Skynyrd has no original members left.

    14 Arrested at PSU for major cocaine trafficking ring at 2 fraternities...

    My only experience with either of these frats was in the late 70’s when I rushed frats on the encouragement of my father. I attended a few events (mainly parties) at Sigma Chi and I was a legacy. The parties I went to were in the middle of the week, and as a science major, this was not really...

    That was generic beer. I used to buy it in Value King grocery stores in NE Ohio. It was brewed by the Pittsburgh Brewing Company.

    PSU as TE U in the NFL, trend looks to continue

    Yesterday on a preseason game broadcast it was stated that Stanford was TE U. What? I bet Penn State has put more final roster TE’s in the last 30 years than Stanford, unless someone can prove differently.

    I hate our world. “Daniels sends cease and desist to LSU after Pickett given No. 5”

    To me, this is so absolutely absurd, it’s funny.

    “Penn State to award one millionth degree Aug. 15”

    I guess I’m in a million.

    Did student tickets sell out?

    I don’t know how exactly they do the lottery at Penn State, but when my daughter went to UF, your class standing had a lot to do with getting tickets. So priority was Senior>Junior>Sophomore >Freshman. Her freshman and sophomore years she got tickets to only a game or two. Once she reached...

    Allar struggling in camp so far...

    Or a 6 pack and a bag of chips.

    College- will anyone go in ten years?

    I have 2 daughters who were good in art, music and science. The oldest has a doctorate in NucE from GA Tech and has a very good job at a national laboratory. The younger daughter wanted to go the art route (she is very talented) but also thought about engineering. I told her she could...

    Isn't flying under the radar right where we want to be?

    I have had the same handle since ‘95. IIRC, the reregistering worked seamlessly for me.

    Isn't flying under the radar right where we want to be?

    Yes the board existed 25 years ago. I’ve been on it since 1995 (when it was on the plotit site).
