    PSU MLAX 2026 thread

    Yes. Looks like men's lacrosse is one of the sports the Ivies excell in. Last year's champions were Cornell. Princeton has won it all a few time in the past. I often wonder how the Ivies recruit their players. I understand they don't offer athletic scholarships, so how do they get these...

    Any golf course recommendations east of Denver, CO?

    Only two courses in Denver that I've played are Wellshire, a 100 year old Donald Ross creation, and The John F. Kennedy course, a large golf complex with 27 holes plus a par 3 course. Of the 2, I enjoyed the Wellshire course more. Played the Kennedy course in a tournament. Both are in Denver...

    Army's goalie had 20 saves. Unrealistic.

    FC: Massive Canvas system collapse?

    Kept mine in gradebooks too, until the last 10 or so years. By training and education I was a mathematician. But in the later years I also got into computer science. And during those last years, I moved from normal PCs to machines that ran UNIX or LINUX and developed ways to post my lecture...

    FC: Massive Canvas system collapse?

    You used Blackboard. I remember it from back when I was still teaching, but never used it. Used to keep all my grades in a program I developed and ran on the PC I had that was running LINUX. Backed up data daily.

    Some schools use the quarter system, so get to start fresh 3 times a year.

    Tom is gone and @psuro has fallen asleep at the switch

    Here is a weird funny about Cinco de Mayo that I heard years ago ... Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's Mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next...

    I know today is Cinco de Mayo. But I was sort of expecting a "Who is the hottest" poll from the Met Gala.

    FC/OT: Financial reality of big time college sports hits U Maryland…

    I for one have always been of a mindset that colleges and universities were for educating their students. Sports and other activities were later added because young folk needed physical and other activity to keep going. Today I feel like the sports programs at the college level (especially Div...

    @LionJim, prove me wrong

    Younguns? I'm nearing 80 and @LionJim is retired so you an guess his age (he's somewhat younger than me, since I taught him in college).

    @LionJim, prove me wrong

    Did you know that 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... = -1/8? Here is why ... Let X = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+ 8+9+10+... then X = 1+(2+3+4)+(5+6+7)+(8+9+10)+ ... X = 1+9+18+27+... X = 1+9(1+2+3+...) X = 1+9X X-9X = 1 -8X = 1 X=-1/8

    “Move over, New York and Chicago — one Midwest pizza style is taking over”

    Even to watch PSU play there? Thought you PSU guys would like to mob Columbus and have a PSU whiteout in Buckeye stadium.

    Congrats to Red Rabbit Drive-In in Duncannon...

    I've heard of it, and know it is "famous" ... but have never stopped there for a burger. Are they worth it?
