    10 + minutes with Joe….

    Thank you for posting this. I am mostly a reader and rarely post, but I have such fond memories of Joe, and as I prepare to send my daughter back for her 3rd year (she’s the 12th over 3 generations from our family), I am writing her a letter to tuck in with her things. This post reminded me to...

    Well Team At Least Showed Up to Play - Some Bad Breaks - Need Some Recruiting Help

    After Illinois, I was pleased to see the team show up to play last night in a hostile environment against the team that is likely going to win the B1G (again). They showed guts, and despite Clifford's two turnovers (resulting from a collapsed line), we're not in that game as much as we are...

    Took the Plunge

    Likewise. Been a long-time lurker on the McAndrew Board and enjoyed the information, banter, humor, and polls. Part of a multi-generational Penn State family with my son having graduated in May and my daughter currently a sophomore.
