    Happy Birthday to my favorite crossover soprano.

    Agree on Sissel. She's terrific. What a voice!

    2024 PSU Men's Baseball Thread

    So far, the only Penn State ball player leaving via the portal that had an impact this past season is Bobby Marsh. That one is a bit of a surprise and disappointment as he's a local Bellefonte kid who transferred in from FAU. Now he's headed back to Florida to play for Miami where Rob Cooper...

    Beaver Stadium Proposal:

    That story about Hammond being originally designed as a nine-floor building is a local urban myth. The original layout was what you see; it was just a bad design job.

    2023-24 PSU Fencing Thread

    No news out of the AD's office on who will be the head fencing coach in '24-'25. I was expecting Matteo Zennaro to have his "interim" tag removed, and that might still happen, but, again, given that Kraft and team have known all year that a HC needed to be named, I'm a bit surprised it hasn't...

    2023-24 PSU Fencing Thread

    Our Fencing coaching situation is interesting. Matteo Zennaro, who was hired from Harvard in early August to be associate head coach, is now listed as Interim Head Coach and Adam Kaszubowski, who was heading into his second year as Interim Head Coach, has disappeared from the roster and the ICA...

    Penn State Law School

    There's very little detail in the August 14 press release concerning the panel recommendations about how the two-campus/one school reunification will work. This restructuring might offer Penn State Dickinson Law an opportunity to make its legal education distinctive, However, teaching delivery...

    2022-23 PSU WBB Thread

    PSU WBB posted an assistant coach position to the University's HR website last week? I'm not aware that the NCAA has approved a fourth full-time assistant coach for women's basketball, so who has departed?

    The Coast Guard stole from us.

    Our cheerleaders stole "We Are" from the USC cheerleaders. "We Are" had nothing to do with the 1947 Cotton Bowl, which is a virtuous PSU Football story without the "We Are" myth.

    PSU Academic Metrics

    Georgetown's Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW) has taken a shot at developing ROI metrics for colleges and universities and rates 4,500 institutions. https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/roi2022/

    PSU Academic Metrics

    APR has become meaningless in the era of an open Transfer Portal and the one-and-done athlete. If Penn State wants to achieve a proper balance between academics and athletics today, it will have to drop down to Division II.

    2023 PSU Men's Baseball Thread

    No. First, Wheeler was the Temple baseball coach when Temple AD Pat Kraft cut the Owls' baseball program. Might be some hard feelings there. Second, while Penn State is not going to attract a head coach from an ACC or SEC program, it can do much better than Ryan Wheeler. Third, why do we...

    2023 PSU Men's Baseball Thread

    OT: WGOLF's Denise St. Pierre retires

    https://gopsusports.com/news/2023/5/15/womens-golf-head-coach-denise-st-pierre-announces-retirement-following-40-years-as-a-nittany-lion.aspx I'll be very surprised if alum ('03) Katie Futcher, who perhaps not-so-coincidentally announced her retirement as Emory's (D-III) golf coach yesterday...

    2022-23 PSU Women's Ice Hockey Thread

    Jeezus, I hate this portal/NIL crap. Which was a bigger factor in Zanon's defection? The chance to win a national championship with the Buckeyes or the tOSU coaching staff calling her up and offering her an NIL deal that PSU couldn't match before she had even decided to enter the portal?

    RIP Gordon Lightfoot

    Lightfoot's "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" is my favorite folk song. He was a brilliant songwriter.
