Without a campus or stadium and years of mediocrity at best, it was inevitable, the economy, ACC, new culture, etc. etc. etc?

Was @MtNittany calling it quits in November?

W the (not so) Super Bowl?

.

not a good look for a coach. I don’t know how to post a video but when dread blew a defensive assignment, Chambers really lit into him and physically shoved him. Really not something you want to see any coach doing to a young player.

How is that NOT a TD?

Good luck to Sterling.

Hey all,

I have been fishing for years, mostly for bass, but this Christmas my dad got me a decent starter fly kit and I'd like to give this a shot.

I live right near the Wissahickon, right outside of Philly, so finding a place won't be an issue. My bigger concern obviously is just figuring out what the hell I'm doing. I haven't tried to cast a fly rod since I was kid and that didn't go well!

Basically, any advice you can provide would be appreciated -- learning to cast, which flies to use, good spots to fish along the Wissy or anywhere else. Also, is it worth it to try and get out there this winter? I figure it would be good to get used to the rod before the spring season opens but I don't want to be out there unless there may be some holdover trout left, or anything else really that might bite on a fly.

Thanks in advance.

Saw in article on Flo that Aaron Brooks will be competing at Midlands.

Will see how he does if he gets either Emery Parker (currently ranked #2) or Cash Wilcke.

Just saw it on Twitter! Welcome aboard!

Fascinating article. Just...wow.

In what ways have you changed over time that you would have never imagined?

This came to me today because I used to love to read the Sunday newspaper sports section at breakfast. I looked forward to it. A nice breakfast, a cup of coffee and the Sunday sports section. Now, I don't even get a Sunday paper or a newspaper at all even though I easily and still could.

Another would be not caring about the Pittsburgh Pirates. I grew up a diehard-Pirates fan. I despise Nutting so much that if it took the Pirates to go winless for five consective seasons to get him to sell the team, I'd take it.

A third way would be my following the NFL and the Steelers. I used to watch both games on Sundays and the Monday Night game and never miss a Steelers game. Now, I can take it or leave it and don't miss it at all if I didn't watch it.

And lastly, my love of all things Penn State. With how the Board of Trustees threw Joe under the bus so that their shenanigans and shady dealings would go unnoticed, my love for all things Penn State has dissipated.

I would have never imagined any of those things.

See the link below. From the article:

"(CNN) -- Saturn's rings make it one of the most striking planets in the solar system, but scientists believe they could disappear in less than a 100 million years -- which isn't all that long when you consider that the gas giant itself is more than 4 billion years old.

New research from NASA shows that the rings, made predominantly of water ice, are being pulled apart by the planet's gravity and onto Saturn's surface as deluges of "ring rain."

"We estimate that this 'ring rain' drains an amount of water products that could fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool from Saturn's rings in half an hour," NASA's James O'Donoghue, lead author of the study, said in a statement.

"From this alone, the entire ring system will be gone in 300 million years, but add to this the Cassini-spacecraft measured ring-material detected falling into Saturn's equator, and the rings have less than 100 million years to live," he added."

100 million years. I hope I'm here to see it.

RING. RAIN.

What celebrity voices from your youth are unmistakable?

I'll post only three of mine for now as I'm sure others will name the ones I also could list.

Beat those cheaters

For me nothing beats Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Darlene Love's annual appearances on Letterman to sing "Baby Please Come Home." She continued doing this until her mid-70s when Letterman left. Here's a mashup of some of those appearances: click.

Since tonight is a big dual meet where the warriors will actually wrestle and not duck top competition, it got me thinking. Thinking about how hard it is to win at this sport if your striving to push yourself and face top competition all the time. Let alone have a perfect season as a team. So Im going to munch on some lunch and throw this out there.

What is the perfect season to you guys/gals?

As a base I would think;

- 1st at NCAAs
- 1st at B10s+4
- 1st at all tournaments you entered as a team
- Undefeated dual season (and if applicable to the year a dual championship)

I think that is a minimum, right?

If so, PSU has only hit that mark in the 2015-2016 season during the Enlightenment Era. If my mind is correct. 1st at NCAAs, 1st at B10s+4, 1st at Scuffle and beat Ok State at Nat duals.

BUT....we did not put 10 guys through to the NCAA tournament, so was it really perfect? So to be truely perfect do you need to put all 10 through to Nationals? Do you need to place 10 guys at B10s+4 and nationals to be perfect?

I bring this up because maybe we are on the cusp of another historic season this year but it even might not be "perfect".

Im sure there are former hawk teams that did the minimum, just dont have the ambition to look it up. Maybe @Turk can help?

Ill hang up now and listen.
