    “Penn State names Reggie Bustinza new CEO of Alumni Association”

    Seems like some sort of Penn State connection might have been a key qualification for this position. But apparently not.

    FC/OT: New York Times' 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters.

    In my view, Lucinda Williams is the best songwriter of the past generation (post-Dylan). Yeah at times some of her newer stuff can get tedious and dark but at her best, few can compare. Here's a few of her songs that I think highlight her songwriting ability: 2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten Side of the...

    2026 PSU Men's Gymnastics thread

    I had Randy Jepson as an instructor in one of my Penn State Phys Ed classes (volleyball/squash) back when he was a graduate assistant. A good guy but he gave me a B :). Surprised that he didn't retire rather than be replaced.

    Beaver Stadium reconstruction thread

    Overruns should not be expected. Construction managers face challenging environments all the time. You factor in estimated inflation rates and contingency to help cover unforeseen issues. I worked on very large capital projects most of my career. We rarely overran and when we did, the...

    Suffering thru CLE courses today so my License isn't suspended. I p-ll this sh-t every year.

    It's also PE (Professional Engineer) license renewal season. I'm behind on my continuing ed requirements but only by a little bit. Fortunately my AIChE membership provides me with free credits for on-line courses and you can select some interesting content. Over the past few days I've viewed...

    OT: Has anyone rage quit their job...

    59-1/2, in the middle of covid. I had a great 36 year run with one very large company but it was time. There were only a couple times in my career where I got fed up and felt like I needed to make a change. In one case, I actually signed up for a voluntary downsizing. I managed to find...

    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.
