    2022-23 Transfer Portal Thread

    Just wanted to say that I'm putting myself in the transfer portal and moving to the other board. I don't have time for both. But I wanted to say thanks to all of the great folks I've interacted with through the years here. We Are!

    B1G rumored to be looking at 6 more schools

    They were when they joined. Rumor has it that another school (Big 12) got them booted out of the AAU on a technicality dealing with their med school, as I recall, because they went to the Big 10.

    PSU nattys as a Big 10 school vs other Big 10 schools?

    One interesting comment was about UNC and women's soccer. Of course, what the failed to mention is the advantage UNC had by having the US national team's coach as their coach for much of that time. If you wanted to play for the US, you almost had to go to UNC. In those days Christie Welch of...

    B1G Expansion

    Blue Jackets are NHL. Crew in MLS. Austin would be one if you do not count MLS.

    Sandy Koufax's Statue Unveiled This Weekend

    My very first baseball game was at Connie Mack Stadium. And Koufax was pitching. Ca. 1965, as I recall. Wish I had the ticket stub/program still. While I do have programs from Connie Mack, they were from later games. Koufax won, but "Dr. Strangeglove" hit a 3 run dinger off him. We were right...

    OT - Power 5 Universities who have NEVER won a National Title in ANY sport

    The PSU grads that wrote Casablanca (the Epstein brothers) both were collegiate boxers--Julius won the NCAA Bantamweight class in 1931. Phillip's grandson Theo is famous in baseball management (Cubs and Red Sox)

    Football Three PSU alum nominated to the CFB Hall of Fame

    All good choices. Dozier probably won't make it.

    Any thoughts on Alumni Council

    Since the fix is in with Alumni Council, as one has to get preapproved by the cabal, I only vote for one candidate. If I could vote for none, I would. I do not care about the statue. That ship sailed a long time ago. But I'd likely not see it if it went back up, as I think I've been to State...

    OT: If you got a high school class ring, do you still have it?

    I have not only my HS and PSU rings but my dad's HS ring. But I've not worn my PSU ring in years as I lost that in a car and it got a little bent--and no longer fits. And you know the guarentee they have? Well, you have to pay a shipping and handling fee that was north of $150.... So it never...

    FC: ESPN takes on Penn State once again

    Constitutionally, they are. And in our legal system, it's (unlike, for example, the French) innocent until proven guilty. Not proven guilty--by our legal standards-- is "innocent". But that's the way it used to be. These days folks act as it you are guilty once any accusation is made and want...

    FC: ESPN takes on Penn State once again

    Not true about Woody--he was very concerned with education. He was no saint, to be sure--far from it--but he was big on his guys going back and getting the degree. After his firing, he was often seen on campus by the Education Building as he would talk to students studying to be teachers and...

    FC: ESPN takes on Penn State once again

    You just hit the nail on the head with the word "feeling". In a society where we no longer have absolute or objective truth, feelings are everything. That's what microaggressions are all about. If you "feel" aggressed against, you are. Mind you I'm not trying to diminish real racism. Just the...

    Help: Things to do / places to eat in State College with Family

    I thought I recalled that Otto's made their own root beer--and they do (Mrs KG really liked it). Also have birch beer. Kids might like that. I'd say it's family friendly. It's out on North Atherton. Not sure how the revamped Tavern is. The old version was a go to place for us back in the day...

    OT: Best places for live music in NOLA. Going there for a bachelor party for a long weekend.

    Concur--but also see if the Old Mint has a free concert (they have a concert program, in the hall upstairs). We went to a pretty good one last time there.

    Sunday Comic Strips

    My dad, who grew up in North Joisey, used to tell stories about listening to it as it happened (but he also heard the disclaimers, so he wasn't fooled).

    New "Top Gun" trailer

    You know, someday, all of the folks making scathing attacks on the past will find someone in the future making a scathing attack on one of their views. It's not completly fair to judge past mores by current views.

    New "Top Gun" trailer

    Now, yes. Then? No. There really is a TOPGUN training facility. After Vietnam, the Navy realized they need such a facility, due to lessons learned there. Link
