Hope you had a good holiday weekend. That’s right, Super Bowl Sunday is a national holiday according to one PSU professor. It certainly does a good enough job getting people to come together. I watched the game in a dorm with some friends, including one annoyingly happy Steelers fan. Though we like to think its [...]
Here at Penn State the women’s basketball coach has continued to coach despite being accused of discrimination against players, but a comment from Joe Paterno is making all the headlines. These comments have lead some to call for his resignation. Here’s what the old man said: “There’s some tough — there’s so many people gravitating [...]
I am back in State College now and hoping to get back into the hang of posting regularly, but I wanted to talk a little more about my trip to Miami first. In my last post I tried to stay positive about everything that happened. And I did have fun in Miami. It was not [...]
I have a lot to say about my whirlwind trip, but I won’t get to it all now. Bottom line: Good trip and worth the trouble. I am going to focus on the positives tonight and talk about the problems and lessons learned later. Pat, Chris, and I arrived in Miami after midnight on Tuesday [...]

So pretty exciting day today as Penn State beats Michigan State 31-22 to qualify for the Bowl Championship Series. Now my friends and I can seriously talk about how we’re getting to either Atlanta, Tempe, Miami, or if we get really lucky, Pasadena. People were going crazy downtown. I don’t have a lot more to [...]
Last night was a big night for my father. After 20 more than years of coaching football at Archbishop Carroll and Strath Haven he won his 227th game, making him the winningest coach in Delaware County history. He passed a legend he coached against in his early years at Strath Haven, Joe McNicholas of Ridley. [...]
I saw SportsCenter yesterday had this clever animation demonstrating how T.O. is unlikely to be picked up by many teams in the league, except maybe Denver. Maybe he will be looking for a career change. My friend Rob sent me this piece from Information Week. Supposedly this is a real memo from Oracle CEO Larry [...]
