    Basketball Penn State adds Tennessee transfer guard Freddie Dilione

    IMO Nick Kern is incredibly athletic but young with a thin body. He gained some confidence as last year progressed but he's still a light weight for somebody who wants to score by taking the ball to the rim. It's also easy for stronger opponents to back him into the paint. I hope he gets...

    I suspect that a coaches decision about discipline is based on a players history. The coach might cut a kid some slack for a first offense but not so much when there have been previous problems. We just don't hear about the previous problems.

    You didn't feel that way when Vicky Triponey criticized Paterno for assuming authority over how to discipline players.

    Well, we do have an interesting thread about this site becoming stale.

    Tesla - exited short sale

    Cautious and obeying all the laws? Who wants that? Just kidding. My car alerts me when I go 5 miles over the speed limit. I wish I could set it to 9 miles over the speed limit because that what cops look for. Actually I'd like my cruise control to go 7 miles over the speed limit no matter...

    Football Happy Valley United announces Retain The Roar NIL campaign

    OSU also had higher recruiting rankings than PSU back in the Paterno years but PSU was still able to win 39% of the games between the two teams. Some will say that OSU has become much stronger since then which is a fair argument but I think there was more to it than that. Back then PSU had...

    Transfer Portal

    Why would he do that? I think they have to be full time students and out of state tuition, room & board, etc is quite expensive.

    Transfer Portal

    I just looked at the On3 portal rankings for WRs. The only two undecided were 3 stars Sam Brown from Houston and Tyler Williams from Georgia. KLS is headed to Auburn. Ironically he's ranked a bit higher than Fleming. https://www.on3.com/transfer-portal/industry/football/2024/?position=wr

    OT: Has anyone else been paying attention to auto insurance premiums?

    I suspect texting while driving has increased accidents by as much as blind spot monitors and back up cameras have helped reduce them. Labor costs are up in every industry which includes auto repair. I have Allstate and I get a discount for using their Drivewise app. They monitor my miles...

    According to the BLS median fast food wages are up nearly 40% from 2019-2024.

    OT: Has anyone else been paying attention to auto insurance premiums?

    My auto insurance premiums are paid every 6 months. May 2023 $765 November 2023 $846 May 2024 $891 + 16.5% year over year. I don't know how they calculate CPI. I don't believe anybody is artificially suppressing the inflation data for political reasons but I do believe that their formulas...

    Is KLS going to the portal?

    Bottom line is that none of us know what happened with KLS including if he was in trouble for skipping meetings and classes. I'm pretty sure that the coaches know more than we do and if the rumors are true they have been addressing the problem. I doubt that KLS would have stayed past the last...

    Maybe, but why wouldn't he have entered to portal until now?

    Why are we never involved with 5 star recruits?

    The original poster was wrong to say that PSU is NEVER involved with 5* recruits but his point is valid. 247 composite rankings and number of 5* vs OSU 5*: 2024 15th, zero 5*, OSU had four 5* 2023 14th, zero 5*, OSU had two 5* 2022 6th, three 5*, OSU had three 5* 2021 21st, zero 5*, OSU...

    Carey Booth enters transfer portal.

    An awful lot of people are exploited in your world. I guess I was too. I played sports in high school and college. I worked for private sector companies and while I made good money the company made even more so I was obviously exploited.

    Carey Booth enters transfer portal.

    I never supported the idea that football players should get automatic passing grades. Just the opposite! I've always said that college sports should be played by college students. Why do you accuse me of that? I totally disagree that players are being exploited. There's no doubt that...
