    What are you watching on Netflix, FX, Peacock ( etc )

    If you like cooking shows, The American Barbeque Showdown (Netflix) is a great watch. Lots of smoking meats!

    FC/OT: Dabo Swinney dying on hill of tradition....

    Similar story ... I would see Paul Posluszny at Sunday morning Mass during my time at Penn State. Usually sat near the front of the church on the left hand side.

    Book(s) you are currently reading.

    Getting that spring training itch. Lots of good tales in this book. Not the usual retelling of things that everybody already knows, but some quirky, interesting, and heartwarming stories that make me want to hear the gloves popping.

    War Flick recommendations

    I believe we've talked about this before on the this board, but the new remake of All Quiet on the Western Front on Netflix is great. Worth the watch.

    FC/OT: The Caitlin Clark Incident.

    Agree. I think muscle memory took over here. Her natural response to drawing contact is to get the foul call!

    My Peach Bowl Experience

    Thanks for another nice writeup. I don't go to away games, so these blogs always give me a real feel of the different venues and cities. I appreciate it!

    Why Can’t Penn State get to the National Championship Game?

    The most crucial position - QB - is where Penn State has historically underperformed. We've had superstar WR's, RB's, LB's, DB's, DL's, come through the program at times ... and strong enough offensive lineman (though that area lacks as well), but haven't had a superstar QB since Kerry Collins...

    Why Can’t Penn State get to the National Championship Game?

    This is the answer. Go back to December of 2017. Penn State vs Washington in the Fiesta Bowl. We all know the outcome. Since that day, Washington went 10-4, 8-5, 3-1 (covid year), 4-8, 11-2, 13-0. What changed for Washington after the 4-8 season? Michael Penix from the portal. The...

    I wonder if FSU fans are screaming to fire Norvell. If Olu and our starters at secondary played today....

    I’m often critical of CJF, but I agree that yesterday‘s loss isn’t on his shoulders. There was really nothing to point to that would shift the blame to him. I think the kids who played yesterday really played hard. There was a ton of effort that I saw. But the opt-outs did us in...

    Bowls are not the same as past decades

    I was a proponent of this for a while too … until I watched the D-III championship. What a difference in talent level. I’d lose all interest. Probably end up watching the “other place to hang out” Instead of college football.

    Bowls are not the same as past decades

    You’re spot on. But my answer to that would be that the infrastructure is already in place. For example, the universities own the stadiums, facilities, etc. so unless they would be bought out somehow (highly unlikely) the schools will have to remain a part.

    Bowls are not the same as past decades

    Here’s another solution: Do we really need 108 bowl games? Had to look it up, but in 1970, there were 11 bowl games. What if the top-25 (or I guess 26 to make it even) went to a bowl game, and each were included in the playoff? If you‘re not ranked at year end, sorry, try again next...

    Bowls are not the same as past decades

    True, but it may cut down on mid-tier players opting out. Some of these guys might be 3rd-4th round and they’re opting out. If I’m Olu, I’m opting out regardless with a chance to be a top 5 pick. But if I’m somebody like Sam Hartman, I may think about it a bit more.

    Let’s look ahead to 2024 PSU Football. 😀

    True, though I would argue Hack’s freshman year with BOB wasn’t all that bad. Once CJF’s offensive style came into play, Hack was toast. Why do we always end up with the overrated guys? Other programs pump out QB’s like a factory.
