Moving to Pennsylvania and hoping to become a Penn State fan

If he's from Mississippi, I'm sure he's aware of what yazoo clay does to the roads there.
How sweet of you to ask! To my best understanding and belief, not a chance.
Welcome to your new position! Such an awesome responsibility, but you’re the man for the job.
What is this basketball being discussed?
Sadly, Penn State has what they promote as a basketball team. What they do on the floor rarely resembles basketball.
Fixed.
You have to admit that only a newcomer wouldn't have been laughed off the board for asking such a question.
Hey I did coach a church league basketball players of 3rd and 4th graders to an undefeated season. I could use some extra work, I suppose.
Not that it's a big deal to defend myself, but I am a pretty regular poster on sixpackspeak, the Mississippi State message board that goes back several years.Has anyone considered that preacher_dawg is a troll? No one just decides to become a Penn State fan. You make the mistake of attending Penn State and then become a fan by default, all the while wishing that you had made a better choice.
If you stick around you'll notice that Bob and many others share a certain kind of sarcasm.
Lykens is certainly “out there” but I grew up a little east of there along the blue ridge mountains. It’s breathtakingly beautiful IMO. Lots of opportunities for hiking adventures, camping, and exploring. As I look back now, it was the perfect place to grow up - I thinj it’ll be a good experience for your boys. The good news is that you’re not TOO far away from Allentown or Harrisburg if you need a bit more civilization.
Take the boys up to Jim Thorpe one weekend in summer to raft down the Lehigh River. There’s also Paintball. And train rides in fall, although you’ll be surrounded by New Yorkers.
FWIW: I recently spent a few years working in Hattiesburg. I really enjoyed the people of MS. Good, welcoming folks. Great food. I’m betraying my PA roots here, but I don’t love our food outside of what you can find in the larger cities.

I was a 13 year transplant in Brandon by the reservoir. I didn't get to that part of Mississippi very often.
Ever eat at The Shed? I know it’s not in the northeast, but worth the drive.
