    '26 British Open at Royal Birkdale thread

    I envy the people who have had an opportunity to attend a British Open. I happen to believe the the US Open is the most enjoyable sporting event I have ever attended. The British Open is usually played in weather in the sixties or low seventies. No boiling hot summer weather. Mixing...

    AKB Who lives in an extended family house as a parent or grandparent and do you dig it?

    Having grandkids come and visit is great. My friends all agree. Having them go home with their parents at the end of the day is even better. Again, my friends agree.

    OT: Wawa potentially coming to State College!!

    Maybe twenty years ago a Wawa coming to town was something to look forward to? Their quality has sunk a great deal from the days I would drop in a suburban Philly store and take a couple subs home with me. I am not the only one to think this way. Their rolls and sandwich ingredients have...

    PRAYERS ANSWERED. (Update) Asking for prayers. For myself.

    I missed this somehow. All my best for a quick recovery. The Docs do things every day that seem incredible to us patients. I am sure that you will sail through this and have a good story to tell us all. I have included you in my daily prayers, right after world peace and before success for...

    What's your "gut" season outlook as of today July 11?

    This team has many questions. So many transfers from other programs. Some of them were good contributors and others never proved all that much. Whenever your quarterback misses much of the spring and is coming back from surgery you have to question what you have at the position. If they...

    FC: New James Franklin article in The Athletic.

    "Big Game James" is right about staying at Penn State too long. He should have been fired years before he was.

    You apparently have reading comprehension difficulty. You are arguing with me about something I did not write.

    It would be very difficult to have a worse record than “Big Game James” in big games. At the same time James did have a very good record against inferior teams. That will be difficult to match. Time will tell with the new man.

    2027 Recruiting Thread

    I would guess that 80 percent of the fan base has come around to the conclusion that Franklin did less with more than any coach in recent memory. His positive is he recruited well. His obvious negative, shown by his record, is that he was woeful when confronted by a coach with comparable...

    I'm curious, are you someone who uplifts or negative who breaks down moments and thoughts of others?

    Knowing what most people do in hot tubs I never go in one by my own choosing.

    OT: You turn on the boob tube (cable) and scroll through the guide. What 5 movies make you stop and watch till the end?

    Casablanca (Julius and Philip Epstein, Penn State grads, wrote the screenplay) The 39 Steps (1935) (Madeline Carroll is beautiful and Robert Donat is perfect. Hitchcock directs.) War of the Worlds (1953) (The colors, the sound, the acting are all top notch and so memorable) Lawrence of...

    My rules about peeing when swimming is it is ok to do in the ocean or a large lake. Never pee in a swimming pool or pond.

    OT: A gentle reminder, get over yourself.

    Frankly, you seem to be a horrific husband. I would seek counseling. OK, that was for public consumption. I am with you 100 percent. Women can be a real pain to live with, but there are laws for doing something about that. So you did the right thing to go out and let off some steam. They...

    I'm curious, are you someone who uplifts or negative who breaks down moments and thoughts of others?

    Good managers learn what their people do best and then put them in a position to do well. Bad managers fail to do that. It sounds simple, but it took me years to find that out. When I was young I burned thru time and effort trying to have people accomplish things that were beyond them. Once...
