    OT: Pa Snack Capitol

    If we're including candy, you can't leave out the York Peppermint Patty - created in York in 1940 and once owned by my relatives. We would always have them at family reunions. The company was later bought out by Hersheys. And of course they were the inspiration for the Peanuts character...

    OT: Pa Snack Capitol

    Sometimes when we went out to get in the car in the morning, there would be an almost imperceptibly thin film of oil droplets on the windshield. That stuff is probably running through my veins.

    OT: Pa Snack Capitol

    I grew up in Hanover across the street from the original Utz potato chip plant. Hanover is the snack food capital of the world. I don't eat that stuff much anymore but Snyder's pretzels and Utz barbeque chips are still an occasional indulgence.

    National Duals Retrospective

    My version of a 35 pound vest is a backpack. Heading out for a long trip in about a week (which means I'll miss Big Tens and NCAAs unfortunately -maybe my priorities are out of whack).

    ? What Penn State Player left the program to have better success somewhere else?

    Beau Pribula had a pretty decent season at Mizzou before he got injured. Now transferred from Mizzou to UVA.

    OFFICIAL ‘26 Winter Olympics Thread

    Yeah Klaebo's attack of that final hill in the sprint race yesterday was epic. His legs and lungs had to be burning big time.

    FC: AD Financial Report for 2025

    From the pdf file, it appears "Other" Revenues probably include at least some contributions and royalty/licensing revenues that cannot be directly allocated to specific sports. "Other" Expenses include things like administrative costs and debt service.

    Womens Wrestling Delaware State article

    I didn't appreciate that Delaware State's student population is 65% female. I was wondering how they could justify adding another women's sport program when they already have 12 women's sports teams and only 5 men's. I guess the gender disparity explains it. It would be nice to see some...

    Book(s) you are currently reading.

    Currently reading Black Elk Speaks by John Neihardt. Black Elk was a Lakota (Sioux) visionary. The book is a first-person account of his experiences at the battle of Little Bighorn, the death of Crazy Horse, and various conflicts with the white man. There appears to be some question about the...

    40 Years Ago Today Challenger Exploded - Where were you?

    I was in my second year of employment after graduating with a BS ChE from Penn State, working as a process engineer at the DuPont refinish paint plant in Front Royal, VA. I had just gone down to the plant cafeteria for lunch when news of the Challenger explosion broke. Sadly, DuPont Viton(r)...

    Official '26 CFB Championship, Indiana vs. Miami, game thread

    4 teams have gone 15-0: 2018 Clemson, 2019 LSU, 2022 Georgia, 2023 Michigan (but don't count because they cheated). So it's possible 1 or 2 other teams might have won 16 games if given the opportunity. But 16-0 is rarified air.
