    10-2

    There was a time when Joe was well into his career that he was on a 4 year cycle of being a top team. He used to tell recruits that every player that played 4 years for him either played on an undefeated team, played for a national championship, or won a national championship. This is where...

    Advice sought, pros and cons of T-Mobile vs Verizon cellular.

    I've been with T-Mobile for about 5 years no and am very happy with it. We're on the unlimited over 55 plan, no taxes, no fees, unlimited text, voice, and data for $30 per phone per month. As a result of being a T-Mobile customer, I also get $10 per month off my monthly YouTube TV bill as well...

    Two notes from PSU subcommittee on compensation meeting

    I wasn't suggesting firing her, I was just questioning why did we add more years to her contact BEFORE we see any level of sustained success. If she doesn't have success at Penn State it just means Penn State will owe her more in the buyout. I said the same thing when Penn State gave Franklin...

    Two notes from PSU subcommittee on compensation meeting

    Penn State women's basketball finished 11-18 last season. At this point, why would Carolyn Kieger's contract be extended? Is the AD's success measured on how much money she can give away?

    Aikman and Buck sign with ESPN for Monday Night Football

    I truly don't understand these huge dollar contracts for announcers. in all my years of watching sports, I have never once turned a game on or off because of who was announcing it. I even suck it up and watch Penn State games when we get stuck with Pam Oliver, Beth Mowins, or Matt Millen! All...

    Steeler Fans Should Enjoy This

    I was in that line too, only I was a lot further back as I didn't get there till mid-morning the day they went on sale. I bought 2 for the Raiders game and 2 for the AFC championship. It's funny to think about it with today's inflated ticket prices, but I think the total cost was less than...

    Steeler Fans Should Enjoy This

    I was at the game, sitting in the upper deck in "center field", watching the whole play develop in front of me. The main thing I remember from the moment was screaming like crazy for Franco to get out of bounds so Gerela could kick a field goal. The Steelers had no time outs and if Franco got...

    QB room is solid - what is your outlook

    I think scenario #1 is the most likely. #4 is what I would prefer.

    David Ortiz elected to HOF. (Just Ortiz.)

    Any HoF vote that keeps Barry Bonds out is OK by me.

    Story: Three takeaways from Penn State basketball's narrow loss to No. 3 Purdue

    Agree 100% on that foul call. Harrar gets bumped back twice by a Williams shoulder then Williams fades away while shooting that little jump hook. This play was THE turning point in the game. Cannot believe the BTN announcers totally ignored it. It was great defense by Harrar, there's nothing...

    2021 PSU WVB Thread

    Maybe she was very interested but she wasn't offered the job. This makes more sense to me than her picking up and moving to South Bend to coach in the ACC.

    2021 PSU WVB Thread

    Does anybody have a feel for why so many players entered the portal and accepted offers from other schools before the new coach is announced? The basketball team did that when Chambers was let go, but from my understanding, the large number of players entering the portal was a response to how...

    OT: FYI no more ESPN platform on YouTube TV

    Deadline is Friday. I think Youtube TV knows they need alll the ESPNs plus the other Disney owned networks so they will be motivated to settle. I just hope Disney isn't asking for a ridiculous amount. Given how much ESPN pays for rights these days and how many talking heads they send to major...

    Lyme disease vaccine in development/Tick thread

    Had it a few years ago. Felt like I was slowly dying at one point. Never had the bullseye pattern, just a 3 inch diameter red ring on my calf. In addition to some other symptoms, at one point, it took away my ability to sleep and allow my body to fight the disease. Fortunately for me, the...
