    Poll: Interest in the football program post-Joe

    I am a 1969 grad. In the years since Paterno was essentially "executed" by the media and PSU trustees/administration, I have not slit my throat with every loss, as used to be the case. I still watch the games on tv; and, I still root for them, especially against hated teams like Ohio State and...

    Best Sports Books You Have Read

    Surprised no one mentioned "Paterno" by Joe Posnanski. I've read it four times over the years. There are a few passages whereby I put down the book and just pondered what I had just read. Probably the one that most "got to me" occurs on Pages 319-321. That last comment by Joe, on Page 321...

    Rutgers math professor drops the hammer on 126 students cheating in his class

    Reminds me of when I went to a lot of trouble to confound a student who tried to cheat on a test. It was in an anatomy class at a university. I allowed students to make up tests that they missed. Well, a student came into my office to make up the test, and I left the completed test on my desk...

    Any Coal Crackers still out there?

    We lived in Hershey at the time. We attended the Reading and Hickory Twp. games at the Harrisburg Farm Show Arena. That Reading game was really something.

    Any Coal Crackers still out there?

    I attended the State Street School which was just a few houses up the hill from our tavern. It no longer exists. My mother also attended that school. I have a very distinct memory of my days there, probably while I was in second grade. Me and another kid were outside in the back of the...

    Any Coal Crackers still out there?

    I was born (1946) in Nanticoke and lived there through the second grade. My grandparents ran a tavern on Main St., next to the Armory (my mom and dad and I lived upstairs). I miss Stuccio's Pizza, Diamond's ice cream (on the square), and Stookey's Barbeque (which still exists across the...

    Board of Trustees and Paterno family statements

    I agree with what PSURO said, squared. My hate runs deep and widespread.

    Any suggestions for a trip to France

    Speaking of anniversaries... the wifey and I went to Las Vegas for our honeymoon some 40 years ago. We went back for our 20th anniversary; and, we are scheduled to go back (Mandalay Bay) for our 40th in the spring. We like the lights, the hustle-bustle of the crowds, the opulence, watching...

    Cotton Bowl attendance wasn't very good

    My daughter and I drove down to Dallas on Friday from Wichita (5-6 hours). Stayed overnight at a Hilton, then drove home after the game. We were actually rooting for a Cotton bid over the Rose (which is simply not doable for us, although it's on my bucket list). We did the same in 2011/12 for...

    I am happy about the Cotton Bowl..

    Do not underestimate Memphis. I have watched several of their games this year. They will likely score somewhere in the high 20's or low 30's. PSU needs to be ready for a high-power offense. I am not at all disappointed in not going to the Rose Bowl. From Kansas, attendance at the game and...

    No Hard Copy Rose Bowl Tickets?

    I am considering going to the Rose Bowl, assuming PSU makes it. I looked for tickets on StubHub and VividSeats only to find that one must own a smartphone in order to make a purchase and get into the game. I am a senior citizen without a smartphone. How the hell is it possible that I can't go...

    A Football Parking Question

    Now that I've considered some of these suggestions, I should think that trying to get to the downtown area from Clearfield would get us tied up in a lengthier-than-necessary traffic jam. The most reasonable option seems to be the Fullington bus shuttle from North Atherton (is this the same as...

    A Football Parking Question

    I am now retired after working 45 years in Kansas; so, I can actually attend a football game in Beaver Stadium this year (the first since 1971). I have zero experience with attending a game as a non-student; and, the stuff I occasionally read on this site about parking at the stadium terrifies...

    Rose Bowl Question

    Is it still possible we go to the Rose Bowl if we win out and Ohio State goes to the playoff? We won't go to the Big Ten championship game; but, we will have beaten Wisconsin in the regular season.
