    Big Ten Conference Voter registration initiative.

    This quote, which I have seen in many places attributed to Franklin, may or may not be accurate. But I am glad to have posted it since it brings a lot of people out of their somnambulance. Yes, the founding founders did start the Rutters stores. Little known fact. BTW, capitalism is not...

    This is how you handle things in mother Russia!

    Some pundits have said that this Navalny guy is only well known in the West, where the press builds him up. Some have even suggested, sarcastically, that the Western Press did this to him so media can have a martyr.

    Big Ten Conference Voter registration initiative.

    The founding fathers did not want, or permit, all people to vote. I believe it was Ben Franklin who said that the nation would end once people found that they could vote money to themselves.

    OT: Sheetz vs. Rutters

    Greedy was the word I used and meant. You decide if that is good or bad. Since I shop at a Rutters three or four times a week, I guess I contribute to them.

    SIAP. Am I missing something?

    Since football is a sport wherein team A does what team B does, I would think that Penn State was/is not the only team that transports football players out of town the night before a game. One of those things is alcohol/drug consumption. I am not sure if the coaches go with them.

    OT: Sheetz vs. Rutters

    For those who don't know, Rutters is series of convenience stores that competes (geographically) with Sheetz, Wawa, Royal Farms, Seven-Eleven, etc. They have been upgrading their facilities and are as greedy as the law allows. Centered in York County (on Maryland border) and about 60 miles north...

    There is a Youtube video of Pussy Riot getting the snot kicked out of them by a group of young men identified as Cossaks. pretty nasty stuff although I dislike Pussy Riot. Seems like a long time ago, though

    Motley Fool has been touting Amazon, Tesla, Netflix, Facebook and Apple for quite some time. They still tout them in fact. It is more than a gamble to invest in stocks. However, there is really no other way to grow your money at this stage.

    OT: Hazard a guess here....

    Just heard a former Secret Service agent say in a podcast that the Service would begin every first family's code name with the same letter. So the Clintons (just as an example) would be: Eagle, Ermine, Elixer.

    Who were the three best bowl opponents Penn State football faced?

    1972 Oklahoma was outstanding and had the Selmon brothers. However, I can't remember a team with as much talent as Miami "86.

    Who were the three best opponents Penn State football faced at Beaver Stadium?

    1967 NC State. Undefeated and ranked No. 3 at the time. We defeated them at the Beav with a goal line stand late in the game. Great game. Mike Reid did not play in this one as he was out for the year due to an injury he sustained wrestling Granville Liggins (IIRC).

    Feel bad for.....Brisker, Wade, Brown, Simmons, and Castro Fields

    Hope to see Journey Brown succeed. I think he is a great running back and was hoping to see him carry the offense, at least early in the season until the passing fame got its feet.
