    “Joey Chestnut to defend hot dog title while on probation”

    While I am not defending Chestnut slapping some guy at a bar, I would like to know more about the story. Chestnut said he was drunk and doesn't remember and accepted full responsibility, however, I bet the guy he slapped was being an arseclown instigator like we have seen so many times where...

    Team GPA

    Hmmmm, I wonder how the upcoming demographic cliff is going to effect this? The “demographic cliff” is upon us. The number of teenagers graduating from American high schools peaked last year. It will begin declining this spring and keep falling steadily through at least 2041. The trend is...

    Team GPA

    I have always heard rumors they put kids on the team that a very good academically but will most likely never see any playing time. I mean that is a good number I guess and congrats to the team but I would like to see the data behind that number. Did all the players with low GPAs enter the...

    RIP Dr. Wayne Sebastianelli

    Can't get to any of the obits. How old was he? Was it sudden? Very sad. Seen him a few times and know many people who he helped can back to physical activity after an injury(old people not athletes). R.I.P.

    OT: National Lampoon Magazine.

    How many people are triggered that they are holding a gun to a dogs head? Back then no big deal because its a joke, today I feel that people would be upset because some can't take a joke anymore. :cool: 😂 🤷‍♂️

    OT: Has anyone rage quit their job...

    ..and regretted it. I am a few years from retirement and tired of the corporate ******** to deliver yet not being provided enough time or resources. I wrote down a saying I saw on a retirement blog. "You can always earn more money. You can not earn more healthy years." - which is pushing me...

    Terry Smith on Drew Allar: “Our system wasn’t built for him.”

    Terry also mentioned in this interview that decision making was taken away from Allar. That tells me that Allar was usually playing tentative. I have seen this at all levels of coaching where kids play tentative because they don't want to make a mistake for one reason or another.

    '26 Blue-White Game thread

    When I first moved to SC back in 2005. I would notice the gas stations would raise their prices on the big event weekends, especially football games. One old timer life long SC resident used the words "captive audience needs gas to get back home so they have no choice" - however, there were not...

    No Announced Attendance This was the second straight year that Penn State did not announce the total fan attendance for the Blue-White Game. In 2023, the total attendance was around the 63,000 mark, with prior years eclipsing 60,000. This year, although it wasn’t announced in Beaver Stadium, the...

    '26 Blue-White Game thread

    I suppose Campbell could have but if it was still a game during Franklin's tenure then the status quo would have been kept as a game I would think. Then again it may have not been Franklin's decision to make it practice. Who knows what went into making the change to just a practice instead of a...

    '26 Blue-White Game thread

    I partially blame Franklin because he got rid of the game aspect of Blue White. They used to have a lot of other things going on around the stadium and things for kids to do. I remember bringing my kids up to Blue White, I am thinking early 2000s. Parking was free, Game was free, and they had...
