I forgot about the first drive of this game, where our offensive game plan was to pass the ball on the game's opening three plays. Those went nowhere, Iowa got a short field and a quick touchdown and led 7-0 before two minutes had passed.

Should have just established the damn run RIGHT AWAY. Shoot, on our next four possessions, we ran the ball and what do you know, got into the Iowa Red Zone on ALL four possessions. Unfortunately, we only got 3 field goals and 1 touchdown. But at least that was proof running the ball worked.

A game we should have won. But when you come out with an awful game plan and then let a team get an early touchdown, that allows them to hang around and hang around. And sure enough, Iowa was close enough come the 4th quarter that they were able to win it.

(there was also an awful 3-and-out possession early in the 4th quarter ...... where sure enough we were passing the ball, despite the fact that the run worked that day and the pass never worked. UGH)

Bill Cosby was a member of the Temple Board of Trustees from 1982 until December 2014.
During that time, he used his position at Temple to gain access to at least one Temple Athletics employee who he raped.

That employee sued Cosby in 2005 and Cosby reached an undisclosed settlement with her (she filed a motion today to have the entire case unsealed, on the grounds and Cosby and his attorney breached the confidentiality terms of the agreement).

Despite the fact that Temple University was aware of the fact that Cosby had been forced to reach a settlement with a Temple employee who had been raped by him, Cosby remained a Temple trustee for another nine years.

And yet not one journalist, local or national, is questioning Temple's role in this mess. No one is calling on the NCAA to investigate and/or sanction Temple Athletics. Why? Because Temple is keeping its mouth shut, unlike the morons at Penn State.

I'm right on schedule... adopting new technology nearly a decade after its been introduced. Wondering what results/feedback you fine folks may have with the Kuerig system. 1.0 vs 2.0 models?

Thanks in advance

I heard the audio on Bob & Tom and found the video on Youtube. Very wise woman.....

I had never heard of this guy, but he did a lot of good in his life and this should be recognized.

What state are you living in now and in what aspects do you find it favorable or less favorable compared to Pennsylvania?

Do you foresee moving to another state?

For those currently residing in Pennsylvania, do you foresee moving to another state?

With summer here, many of you will be taking to the road with your families. Often a female with be with you and that female will suggest she share some of the driving. Avoid this if at all possible. Say something like "Honey, I just want you to relax and enjoy the trip. I'll do all the driving." If an argument ensues and you must let a female drive, remember these time rules for any trip of more than 2 hours.
1. If a female under the age of 50 drives the car, add 50% to your travel time for every hour she drives.
2. If the female is over 50 years of age, add 100%.
3. If the female is over 75, PLEASE.....don't let the woman behind the wheel.
NOTE: These rules are based upon a just completed round trip from Pittsburgh to Boston and on many, many years of experience.

I am 62 years old and grew up in the Philly area. When I was a kid, the restaurants my parents took me to that I absolutely loved were:

1. Zaberer's - Atlantic City - best Shrimp with stuffed Crab I ever had!
2. Captain Starn's - Atlantic City - best Cherry Stone Clams on the half shell
3. Kelly's Seafood - Philadelphia
4. Woodbine Inn - NJ just over the Tacony Palmyra bridge - My first peel and eat jumbo shrimp!

As an adult and after travelling fairly extensively. my favorite seafood restaurants are / were:

1. The Union Oyster House - Boston
2. Anthony's Pier 4 - Boston
3. Allioto's - San Francisco
4. Joe's Stone Crabs - So. Miami Beach
5. Legal Seafood - Original in Cambridge, MA
6. Any seafood restaurant in New Orleans
7. The Clam Box - Stamford, CT? (Don't think it is there anymore) - The Belly Buster!!!

What are your favorites?

Give me some ideas for the family.

Wife and I are both under 40 and active. Kids are 14 and 10 and active most days but will need a down day every once in a while

We like the outdoors but don't mind some city. Wife loves beach, I love Mountains, Kids like it all

Can be stationary or mobile trip but don't want nothing but driving

Overseas is fine but must be safe and fun for the kids. I would love a Viking river cruise but not sure how much they would appreciate something like that

Some of the trips considered: Central Cali, Alaskan cruise/land, Hawaii again, Europe anywhere, Utah's parks

No Caribbean please, been there done that and get a perked trip every year.

Budget 10-15k. Have at it

What?? They had a waiting list of 200,000 for tickets, what happened, Dan????

With Dan and Jerry around, I know the Eagles will always have a chance.

Nightcrawler - Jake Gyllenhaal gives a powerful performance as Louis Bloom, a full blown sociopath who embarks on a career of filming tragedies in LA as they unfold, and selling the footage to local news directors like Rene Russo (who gives probably her most nuanced performance). Bill Paxton has a great supporting role as a fellow "nightcrawler", and the film takes a very unapologetic view of the news we want to watch, and how those compelling videos make it to our TV screens. Louis Bloom is quietly charming as he calmly espouses generic business acumen that would otherwise inspire, but his chilling actions and seeming lack of ANY morality puts those in his crosshairs on a path to greatness, or suffering. Gyllenhaal deserved an Oscar nom for this performance, easily on par with Cooper in American Sniper or Keaton in Birdman.

Life of Crime - I gotta admit, I went into this film blind, knowing little about it except it featured Jennifer Anniston and mos Def. And when Mos Def's character is introduced as Ordell Robbie, I did a double take. Sam Jackson's character from Jackie Brown? wha??? turns out a lot of characters from that film are in this movie, since the novel upon which it is based was by Elmore Leonard, and takes place in the same universe as "Rum Punch" (though in 1978, prior to events in Rum Punch). so in typical Leonard fashion, this is a film filled with complex characters, sparse but witty dialogue, and dark humor. Isla Fisher stands out as the naïve Melanie, mistress of Tim Robbins's sleazy rich guy. As does Mark Boone Junior as the unrepentant neo Nazi who abets the initial kidnapping of the rich wife of the rich guy.

The Station Agent - take 3 very talented actors (Peter Dinklage, Patricia Clarkson, and Bobby Cannavale) and throw them into a lot of scenes together. pretty much the premise of this film, where Dinklage's character inherits a defunct railroad station from a friend, and must venture out of his world of emotional isolation to connect with real people with real problems.

also enjoyed the Jen Kirkman stand up special ("I'm Going to Die Alone"), she has a very refreshing take on female issues, tending not to complain about as much as viciously attack those who annoy her.

Nittany Ned2,

Might be how that ahole got his new position?

How he was able to land this gig while holding down his hectic PSU AD advisor schedule is nothing short of extraordinary. At any rate, best wishes to Benito in Florida.

especially forcing religion down someone's throat. Should be up to the player, imho.

I know that Aaron Harris will probably be mentioned more than not, but I didn't really think of him just as Curtis Enis's blocking back. We have had so many good FB's at PSU. Who was your favorite, based on whatever criterion you want to use.

Nice article on BTN about Penn State's inclusion into the B1G and the success that has followed for both the school and conference. Congrats on 25 years in the B1G!
