Close call at midway airport

This one is egregious. It was close and could have cost 150 or more lives. We'll see if the pilot took corrective action or the tower saw it at the last moment but this one is BAD. So was Washington but that had unique circumstances with the military blackhawk practicing their night goggles. The others have been private so that is a different story. The ones that have to stop due to an aircraft problem happen most every day.

My best friend is an ATC in Chicago (not at the midway tower).

Paraphrasing what he said to me: the pilot of the corporate jet read back instructions to hold short of the runway the SW flight was landing on and crossed anyway. That pilot also had clear visual conditions and obviously did not look before crossing the runway (which they are trained to do even with clearance to cross) because he would have been able to see the plane on approach. Both the tower and SW flight crew deserve credit for avoiding the disaster.

Anthony Knox and dad drama

N
I probably spoke too soon, indeed, if this report is to be believed.

Eyewitness video has emerged showing St. John Vianney High wrestling star Anthony Knox sprinting into the bleachers to engage in a wild brawl during the District 25 tournament Saturday, placing his path to winning a historic fourth state championship next month in serious jeopardy.

The eyewitness video evidence — observed across several social media sites — appears to show Knox dashing into the stands at Collingswood High School after his father, Anthony Knox Sr., first marched into the bleachers to engage with fans. From there, video shows the younger Knox appearing to throw punches in the stands, and a separate video depicts Knox being led away by police in handcuffs.

The Class of 2021 - Mark Hall and Vincenzo Joseph Sacrificed So They Could Live

W
And what have they done with that sacrifice?

There were 63 freshmen who qualified for the 2021 tournament, thereby earning the first of five potential bites at the apple.

Of those 63 only 25 have earned All-American status at any point since.

There have been:
  • 7 four-timers
  • 2 three-timers
  • 7 two-timers
  • 9 one-timers

And we are not done with this group yet.

Despite this being the fifth tournament they have been eligible for there still many with eligibility left.
  • Everyone's favorite soldier saluter, AJ Ferrari, leads the way with two more years of eligibility after this year.
  • Rocky Elam, Taye Ghadiali, Lucas Byrd, Chris Cannon and Dylan Ragusin have another year if they ask for and get a medical.
  • It looks like only David Key (Navy), and Ben Pasiuk (Army) left a year of eligibility on the table by only using four.
  • Of those finishing up this year Kyle Parco, Cam Amine, Wyatt Hendrickson, Trey Munoz, and Michael Beard have all exercised their freedom of movement by finishing at a school other than where they started the potential five-time journey in 2020 or 2021.

Football Penn State begins winter workouts, who were the competitors of the day?

GregInPitt
Yep, Fisher is almost a wild card as he never has played in a long enough stretch to really get a feel for his ceiling. I believe DE will be pretty good even not counting on him with DDS, Vilbert and White, and then the younger players that have played some, Granille, Mayer and Harvey. And then a nice group of DE's developing in Williams, Robinson, Burnett, and Kemajou. Lots of players from which we could see one or more transform their body and break out in the Spring practices.

And then if Fisher who is a very mature and strong DE, could also reach his potential and be the 2nd or 3rd DE the position could easily have 6 very talented DE's ready to rotate and wreak havoc for opposing Olines.... A QB hunting party!

Takedown tactics for a guy on one knee?

N
David Carr Link

If wrestling from space, a David Carr example

If wrestling from ties, do what Starocci did against Ferrari. He kept forward pressure, drove Ferrari backwards, got a stall point. By halfway through the first period, Ferrari was not on his knees much. Ferrari wrestling on a knee was not preventing Carter from getting a takedown. Starocci was in on Ferrari's legs three times. Crazy flexibility and a couple of roll throughs defended the potential takedowns.

Just lifting probably, with those that are working on weight gain really hitting the calorie intake hard.

It is also that for the past 6 weeks they can work with S&C coach, but not with position coaches, and now with position coaches those coaches can not rate effort and declare players of the day for each position?

Also, several players probably had to have some clean-up surgery, which I understand that Rojas had.

Rule change wishlist for 2025/6

jmadden1998 said:
I'm surprised you guys want a rule change for being on a knee. I've read on this board for years that Cael and company will always figure out a way to counter what the opponent does, i.e. RBY keeping his arm behind him. No need to change the rule when you have the greatest coaches to make the adjustments. Right?

Passive aggressive much.

NCAA tickets and events

Holy $hit. A buddy of mine has a great connection and we got seats in section 101. Staying near the airport. Parking passes at the arena are insanely high so I guess the best move is SEPTA from the airport to Wells Fargo.

Change of plans. Found parking at the Holiday Inn 1.5 miles from the arena for $16/day. Most of the parking lots make you leave when a session is over. One lot I checked would have cost over $300 for the 6 sessions.

Penn State faculty fear the school will close campuses across the state

rmem said:
A lot of kids get screwed if they do all that, forcing them to pay room and board instead of living at home. And there are some poor areas in that list which will exacerbate the situation. It may be necessary, but what comes with it will suck for many.

Penn State could always sell the campuses to the counties who can run schools there as Community Colleges if the goal is to maintain that geographical access. But honestly we are talking about campuses serving a few hundred students at a time - smaller than many high schools - which seems out of whack to be run by a school like PSU where the bulk of the attention is focused on the flagship location.

Dubois is probably the one campus that you can really make an argument that closing it really shuts off access for college in the area - Clarion is probably the only university anywhere close and I don't think there's even any Community Colleges in the area (but if someone knows of some, feel free to correct).
