I'm sold a pair of tickets to Happy John back before rivals... maybe in the plotit days. Grant Green knows my wife and the in laws, but we've never met.

When did you live in Snyder? I lived in 405 Snyder in 85-86 and 86-87Recently found out that kgilbert and I lived in the same PSU dorm house (Potter House) at the same time
Look at my board name--that should give a clue. As I recall, I was in 403 that year (and 310 the year before). But that also was 40 years ago....When did you live in Snyder? I lived in 405 Snyder in 85-86 and 86-87
I thought that was you. I distinctly remember thinking " I have never seen that guy before - must be wbcincy".
I went to that to listen to the speeches. But I'm not friends IRL with most of my board friends (both here and Columbus Crew). There have been some exceptions, though. I go to Jackets games occasionally with one of my Crew board buddies and I know a couple more when I see them at games.
And, of course, as Big O has noted, we lived in the same dorm during our PSU days.
Part of the thing here is that I got on this board after 2011 and close to the time I gave up my season tickets, which I'd had since 1985 (I picked a good time!), so I'm not in Happy Valley much anymore--heck, had it not been for an unexpected business trip to Philly, I would not have been in PA at all in 2016 and it was only a PSU graduation (old friend's daughter) this spring that got us back in 2017.
That was rather derivitiveYou are all very calculating people.
I am acutely aware of that.That was rather derivitive
Will it cause a division on the board?I am acutely aware of that.
Did the guyI believe I sat in front of MassimoManca II for the Alabama game.
Could lead to addition by subtractionWill it cause a division on the board?
If anyone wants to meet up for a drink or something, I got a place. You can make all the noise you want and no one will hear a thing. Fairgambit, you can bring your wife.

THAT is BRILLIANT!!Sir seems too formal for this bunch, can we all just use one of the many Mack daddy personas? We could draw them from a giant Pope hat.
Oh, and I met Tom McAndrew once at Dan Connor's football game at Strath Haven.
I was at a HS football game one year and started talking to the person next to me. The opposing team had a player PSU was after .... Discussion turned to recruiting, PSU Football, BWI .... it was Tom McAndrew. Made my night! He is even better in person.
I gave two UM-PSU tickets to fun160 and an old plotit poster (ScottE, actually, he ran the plotit board, I guess, with Tom) several (6-8) years ago.
We met at my tailgate in AA (fun was from Chicago and Scott from Lansing).
It was sorta weird, as those two used to really go at each other on another site (run by fun160), so I made them sit together lol.
...I had the pleasure of discussing wrestling witH TomMc a few years ago ... recounting some of my old experiences with Doc Speidel, Ridge Riley, Tor Toretti and Doc Light made me realize how much water has gone under the bridge since then...
I also went to a Connor/Strath Haven game though I forget who they played. He was all over the field on both sides of the ball. Kids like him are so obviously great. I thought the same thing, even more so, when I saw Willie 'Flipper' Anderson playing for Paulsboro NJ High many years ago. He was amazing.not sure what i remember more -- how well Connor did in the game, or the two sig babes that were draped on either side of 'ro.
was a good time
MaconNitt and I share season tix for football and hockey and he is a brother from another mother to me. We also got to meet and tailgate with the wonderful duo of NovaPSULuvr and psunovaluvr. MaconNitt and myself have also shared Boursin cheesesteaks with the inimitable TomMcA.
What? You're not a mod yet? Not even a double secret one? I attributed the reduction in the troll population to your direct intervention. Hmmm.Haven't met Tom yet, but expect to do so when we sit down face-to-face for the Moderator job interview!

Well, if he doesn't appoint you soon I am going to demand my money back! The fact that it's a free board is a mere technicality.Apparently at my age there's a lot of background to check in my background check. My sources have Tom currently investigating rumors I was involved in the strategic planning of KU's goal line 6-3-3 defense way back in the 1969 Orange Bowl!
Hope you're recovering from your Nevada-Ariz adventure, thanks for keeping us posted while you roasted.

Ah, the trip has left us with many great memories. We are back to normal and already planning our next adventure. I keep hearing about how great Pittsburgh is. Perhaps we'll spend some time there.
?!?!?!?
How would i know you're not FOS??[/QUOT
My buddy coached at Warren JFK and Jim Coates gave him the tickets because he was not able to go to the game, even though he was an Alabama fan. Before, during, and after the game we were talking to people around us, but we were talking mostly to a guy behind us. I asked him if he was on BWI because he was bringing up a lot of stuff that has been brought up on BWI, and he said yes, and told me he went by massimoManca. Not making this up.
I can have one, but I just limit the frequency. My new regime allows me that luxury.Two guys that make a great cheesesteak. I was doubtful that Boursin cheese would work on a cheesesteak. But I took a chance, and my taste buds were rewarded.
rudedude, are you still able to eat cheesesteaks, or have you had to drop that from your diet after the heart surgery?
You have that new team down in Cincy that might be more fun/closer/cheaper, though the quality of play is generally not as good as MLS overall. They have some nice kids activities there too. But I do enjoy the Crew. Mrs KG and I have had season tickets for some years now.I was looking at some Crew partial season tickets for next year. My son isn't old enough to be able to really sit through games yet, and I admittedly only know EPL rather than MLS, but the prices were fair enough for me to think it's something I'd like to get into.
When did Penn State play in Vegas, and how did they manage to do it inside Planet Hollywood?Coolestfish and I met up for a PSU game in Vegas a few years ago.
He was really late. I told him to meet us at Planet Hollywood and he calls me from the Hard Rock to find out where I was. I think he was clubbing late the night before.
They shrunk the players down and put them in this little box. Never seen anything like it.When did Penn State play in Vegas, and how did they manage to do it inside Planet Hollywood?
pnnylion has met many like-minded individuals here.

Come on, pnny. This is you posting about yourself.pnnylion would regularly kick the crap out of "SkunkBear" who would make up all sorts of silly nonsense about peoples wives divorcing them, people shitting themselves, and hiding "behind peoples houses". The idiot has been MIA since February on the Wolv. He's either in a home or jail.
You have to wonder if he talks to all of these guys too or if they are just in his head.Come on, pnny. This is you posting about yourself.
This is beyond creepy and disturbing.Come on, pnny. This is you posting about yourself.
That would take "creepy and disturbing" to a whole 'nother level.You have to wonder if he talks to all of these guys too or if they are just in his head.
I have met PSUPelly at a home game, played golf with Marsh Creek Eagle, SJLuvsLions, DelcoLion, met LiondeNittany at a Penn State watch party in NYC, met West Side Lion at the same watch party, and also played golf with him, and met Cronk in Lincoln in 2003 at the Nebraska game. IllinoisLion gave me a ride to O'Hare after a Northwestern game in Evanston. I think we had planned golf, but the weather was not cooperative.
Oh, and I met Tom McAndrew once at Dan Connor's football game at Strath Haven.
But, I guess that meeting people once or twice does not necessarily constitute "friends".
