    OT: New call letters for Cincinnati radio station - can you guess them?

    Oh, the humanity!

    Rise Above - Penn State Adaptive Athletics

    Yes indeed. A good friend of mine is involved behind the scenes with this effort, and has worked with Sue on other projects as well. After last year's event, I said to him, 'well, here's proof that if you want to raise a lot of money fast, get Sue and Dana and bunch of former players together...

    Letter to the Editor: Penn State’s Failed Experiment (The Curse of Joe Paterno)

    Not disagreeing, just considering how very, very close PSU came, undermanned to some extent in any given season vs the uppermost echelon, to beating Ohio State, Weaselrines, Oregon, and now Indiana last season. I think an argument could be made that the difference in those excruciating losses...

    Letter to the Editor: Penn State’s Failed Experiment (The Curse of Joe Paterno)

    hiring a coach who never won a single championship or qualified for a single playoff game while coaching in an inferior conference for a decade? Well, Cignetti shattered that mold. In this new era, the old resumes may not be the best resumes anymore. All TBD. Who among the realistically...

    Letter to the Editor: Penn State’s Failed Experiment (The Curse of Joe Paterno)

    I'm of the opinion that your OpEd in defense of Franklin would have been better presented had you started with the paragraph "When James Franklin took over...", and omitted the preamble about Paterno. The NIL/Xfer Portal era is in many ways a clean break from all that came before it...

    Seriously....do I have to do everything around here?....

    As the Senior HR guy for a number of smaller-to-mid-sized tech firms over my career, I always advised against testing for pot. My thought: We would probably lose 1/2 of the current Creative Dept., and maybe a few others as well, and hiring would become 10x more difficult. Handle problems...

    I am optimistic about the future.

    What about "FTW" backwards?! :sneaky: ;)

    2025-26 PSU Women's Ice Hockey Thread

    I don't think he will, but I agree 100%. I think Athletics should create visible, fan-friendly "Rings of Honor" in all our stadiums and arenas. Along with that, rather than retiring any numbers, make certain numbers honorary in the sense that players need to earn them on a yearly basis. e.g...

    2025-26 PSU Women's Ice Hockey Thread

    I don't know what the recruiting situation is for the team, but this post-season should only help tremendously. We lose some solid leaders and big talent in Janecke and DeSa and others, and have some solid players returning. I'm looking forward to seeing and reading about the incoming class...

    2026 NCAA Championship Session V Thread

    Thanks, Tom. I did think about that briefly, but figured (apparently incorrectly) that the placement points would take care of rewarding the Championship side. I appreciate the explanation. I didn't understand what the I Love Lucy gif was trying to me, so this helps! ;)

    2026 NCAA Championship Session V Thread

    Does anyone know why they don't use the regular-season team points per match (3, 4, 5, 6) in tournaments? I didn't do the math, but the scoring differences are relatively close enough that I don't think it skews the standings or the come-from-behind chances by very much. Every year with every...

    2025-26 PSU Women's Ice Hockey Thread

    OT at 3-3. We are on par with the best programs in the country now. Well, probably a notch below Ohio State, but we are in the national conversation regardless of this outcome. By far the best women's college hockey game I've ever attended. Ever seen, really. The crowd is like a men's crowd. PSU...

    2025-26 PSU Women's Ice Hockey Thread

    3-2 Badgers after 2 periods. SOG 28-11 them. Usually takes about 6 or 7 games for us to give up 3 goals. Fast, physical game. Different style and pace than our usual. But, we are hanging in and are very much in it.
