    RIP Frank Beard, ZZ Top Drummer

    That Allentown Fair bill is a quintessential summer of 1973 lineup! Fun stuff.

    Was looking @ Projected Temple Football depth chart

    Joachim had an excellent career at Temple. I believe he won the Maxwell (National MVP, pre-dates the Heisman) Award his senior year. Ok, so maybe some home cooking on the votes there, but still. I think before Shuman, Joachim had lost out to, or could not beat out, John Hufnagle, who was our...

    It’s August 1st. 35 days until PSU’s first game of the 2026 season.

    The college factor was the only part that was tilted the wrong way. Otherwise.... I can only hope to reach that high someday.

    It’s August 1st. 35 days until PSU’s first game of the 2026 season.

    Also on this date: 45 years ago wifey and I got married. St. Paul's Catholic Church in Princeton NJ. (We were maybe 8 or 9, if I recall correctly :sneaky: ). Wifey is Catholic, I am not. Therefore the Monsignor declared us a "mixed marriage" and 'hinted' that he had concerns about that. At...

    Growing momentum for college football collective bargaining

    Barry, please confirm/clarify if you know.... The NIL deals are paid as 1099s, I believe. So no taxes taken up front, and the tax liability is on the player. Unless the payments were in cash (!!), the contributing businesses would make sure the paperwork was filed so that they can claim their...

    Growing momentum for college football collective bargaining

    it seems the "SAVE" act is fading under the lack of SEC and B1G support. Collective Bargaining is probably the only way to avoid a stream of lawsuits around NIL and comp., imo. 5-for-5 is a great first step to cleaning up the one-year free agency mess, too. Once those two ugly aspects of the...

    “Sources: Michigan regents to discuss investigation Thursday” (“culture of its athletic department”)

    Could this be for cause and negate, or re-set, any buyout?

    What's your "gut" season outlook as of today July 11?

    I think the "M" of the MNC is no longer applicable. Not mythical anymore with true(ish) playoffs. So nothing short of an NC, in that case. Note: Notre Dame will argue that last year may have still been an MNC, as they likely had a good shot at a deep playoff run, but were kicked to the curb in...

    Anyone going to arts fest?

    Very generous of you, Potter. Wifey and I will go at least once, probably twice between Thursday and Sunday. To Boalsburg, also. If it looks like our schedule may match up Thursday or Friday, I would enjoy meeting you. My food advice (fwiw) is to stay away from the Snyder's (I think that's...

    Has anyone heard this will Jack Ham's last season?

    He worked with Bobby in customer relations for the suites and other ticket holder "things".

    Has anyone heard this will Jack Ham's last season?

    On another retirement note, today is the official retirement day for both Bobby White and Brad "Spider" Caldwell. Great guys. They will be missed. Here's to much happiness for them both for many years to come!

    Has anyone heard this will Jack Ham's last season?

    Byers for PxP, right? Not color. If Jack and Steve are in fact leaving.... Goon... I know he is well-liked, but sometimes a little of him goes a long way for me. Of course, you never know what you might get from him in the late 3rd quarter of a 52-3 game vs. UMass. That sound bite might be...

    Landon Tengwall - entertaining interview with Brandon Noble

    Yes, he was (not sure he still will be?) part of "The Obligatory PSU Pregame Show". Landon wasn't part of that panel. The panel has been Noble, Mike The Mailman, Chris Buchignani (really good, imo, and a PSU football/athletics historian), and Kevin Horne. I'm not as familiar with Horne, but...

    Landon Tengwall - entertaining interview with Brandon Noble

    Brandon Noble, 90s PSU football, 9 years in the NFL including 3 seasons as starting NT for Dallas. Many coaching gigs post-playing days. Currently D Coord for Div. III Delaware Valley Univ. in Doylestown, PA. Noble is a great interview: Smart, funny, has opinions. Landon does a really good...

    2026 Stanley Cup Final: Vegas Golden Knights vs. Carolina Hurricanes

    This has been as entertaining and exciting as any Cup series I have ever paid attention to. Even casual fans can really appreciate the end-to-end skill and speed on display every minute. I'm a big Sean McDonaugh fan. Imo, great announcer for the Cup Series. He adds to the viewing experience for...
