    OT: AKB Bicycle knowledge/recommendation

    All look good, be careful about riding a true road bike on gravel/dirt even if it is smooth. So easy to get flat tires on that stuff. Carbon fiber is great, lightweight, fast, etc. but you gotta be careful with that too. It is easily dinged and dented when storing or riding. I am pretty tough on...

    Basketball and Football: PSU vs Indiana 1993

    Was in rec hall that night in first row on baseline. What an awful call! Maybe the worst call in history against PSU hoops. Bartrum's jersey was grabbed and he got the foul. We drank away our sorries later over many Lagers at Zeno's. We heckled the hell out of Bobby Knight that night after he...

    Official PSU - Michigan game thread

    Only thing I take away from today's game is that Auburn is REALLY REALLY bad.

    Postgame (Mich.) bltch thread

    Losing sucks, but this wasn't just a loss. It was a beatdown. 41-17 really could have been 55-7 or something like that. Offense sucked, D sucked, etc. Lack of beef on D Line and really work LB play really got exposed today. Guys like Elsdon and Sutherland just aren't big time LBers. Terrible job...

    Banff / Canada Rail Pass - anyone ever done it?

    My mom and niece planned to do the train from Banff to Vancouver a few years back. Unfortunately, that was when those massive floods hit Banff. They got stranded in Banff for about a week. It got pretty grim, town was running out of food, etc. She was not happy.

    FWIW: This Bill passed the State Senate Committee yesterday:

    About a decade ago, the University of Delaware admin looked a bit into going private. While the Univ. owned all the buildings, the state actually owned the land the campus was on. It would have been much too expensive for the univ. to buy the land from the state at a fair market rate so the idea...

    Sedona

    I did it in the summer, no snow at all. But in Dec it would be tough, it gets a good # of snow in normal years. It was a fairly long hike, but not technical and no really steep parts. Just a long slow climb up, but spectacular views. Weel worth it but not in Dec. Fires can be an issue up near...

    Sedona

    Sister lived in Flagstaff for about 15 years so made some trips to Sedona and the area. Some suggestions already mentioned like Wupaki, Meteor Crater, etc. Some other not mentioned: 1. Drive over to Jerome. Cool old town on the side of the mountain. Unique place. 2. If you like hiking, drive...

He is also a tour guide for the battlefield. Dude knows his battle of gettysburg and civil war history inside and out. I remember...

    OT: Philly guys, MBB question

    Like this Nova team, Jay got just about as much out of them as he could. If Slater and Samuels get hot and make 3s, they become a very tough team to guard. Can put 4-5 guys on the court at once who can make 3s. Opens up the driving lanes when D must extend. On D, they are 1 big guy short. Eric...

    Who was the best college QB you saw play in person?

    Kerry Collins Joe Flacco, that guy had a cannon in college. Tom Brady Blake Bortles, that guy lit us up Again, only based on how they were in college.

    OT: Anyone have any favorite quotes. Here's one "Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go."

    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. Coach Finstock...
