I worried I'm turning into Robin Ficker...

Lyco1990
I yelled and complained about that official more last night then I have ever, and I have been around the Sport since 1970. I have not re-watched the match yet but am I alone in thinking this guy was slow to call obvious stalls. Although I did see a call or two go in PSU's favor buy in my homer opinion I believe that he seemed to be trying to give the match to fOSU. Examples from my memory with my blue and white glasses are as follows.

1. Kuhn looked to have almost pinned Tomesello defensively twice and the official seemed to not even notice.

2. After Keener gave up two takedowns in the first, Phletcher never made an offensive move for the last 5 minutes of the match and received two stall calls, i've seen two stalls awarded in 20 seconds before. Am I Off base?.

3. McKenna deserved to win the match Nick made a freshmen mistake on the edge of the mat with short time, however, maybe a stall warning for lack of any offense for 1:45 in the third but I'm ok with that. This match a scramble position was stalemated for 20 seconds before the official called it at the end of the match but seemed that in the later matches stalemates (Other than Nickal) were called quicker.

4. Zain's match I could have sworn that the official award two nearfall on a four count. Any wow was he slow to award the points.

5. I am not sure about Campbell but Bo Jordan took exactly 0 shots in three periods. I counted. Campbell may have touched Joseph's leg once but I don't remember him shooting he did give one stall point in this match.

6. The scramble where is seemed as though Martin had the advantage was allowed to go on forever. Once Bo improved his position and seemed to be comming around it was stopped. Not saying it should not have been stopped just say 30 seconds earlier.

7. How many shots did Moore take in 3 periods. I believe he it tied with Bo Jordan. Again no offense and no action by official.

8. The potentially dangerous position Nick had on Capt. America had me cringing in my seat. Should have been stopped immediately but I'm still suffering from PTSD thanks Mr. Van Brill.

So. am I a Ficker?:(

OT: Overseeding a New Lawn

T
I just moved my family into a new construction home at the end of June in WPA. The builder provided an initial landscaping package which included lawn installation- a hydroseed/Penn state seed mix.

In 7 weeks, the lawn has come in well but with expected areas needing work. There are areas of the lawn that see sun most of the day which have gotten a bit dried out, regardless of my regular watering patterns.

I’m planning on overseeding this September in hopes of filling out the grass a bit more, with the possibility of doing it again in the spring. With overseeding as the plan for next month, I have handful of questions that are confusing me with all the opinions online:

Do I need to aerate, or is it too young of a lawn to do to?

Best topsoil/manure to add to the surface? Mushroom manure seems to be what most lawn and garden services recommend. The topsoil surrounding the house isn’t the best, as is most of the soil surrounding the new neighborhood.

Any ideas and help are appreciated, I’m hoping some PSU alumni could drop some knowledge. Here’s to hoping I’m doing this project on a Sunday with the team looking at an early 3-0 or 4-0 record. Thanks all.

Men over 40 fashion advice thoughts.

Obliviax
Here are 40 things a man should never wear (My Y, AGREE or N on the end)
1. Flips flops unless you’re near a pool or beach. Y
2. Flamboyant pocket squares. All it says is you pay $1,200 a month for a car you can’t afford. Y
3. Statement socks. They don’t give you personality or style. N
4. Cargo shorts. N
5. Turtlenecks. Circumcise that sweater. Y
6. The guilt of your ancestors’ sins. Y
7. A pro sports jersey with another man’s name on the back of it. Y
8. Facial hair that doesn’t look intentional. Y
9. Jewelry (other than watches and wedding rings). The only thing more disappointing for a woman than seeing a desirable man with a wedding band on, is seeing a ring on any other finger. Y
10. Backwards or flat brim baseball caps. Or any hat inside. Y
11. Pleated or cuffed pants. Y
12. Sneakers with a suit. It’s a good look for 1% of men, but you’re not David Beckham. Y
13. Fashion watches - Chanel, Hermes, Gucci, and even Cartier. N
14. Hoodies after the age of 40, unless the weather requires it. N
15. Double-breasted suits. The vast majority of men can’t pull it off. Y
16. Any shorts longer than the knees. Y
17. Skinny or ripped jeans. Y
18. Vineyard Vines. N
19. Country club logo golf shirts where you’re not a member. I don’t care if you played Pebble once, it’s a conversation-starter for losers. N
20. Short-sleeve button-down shirts. N
21. Identifiably-designer belts. Y
22. Dirty sneakers in the office. Even with a relaxed dress code, you should take care of sneakers in the same manner as dress shoes. Y
23. Oxford collars.Y
24. A backpack. Y
25. Tevas, Crocs, Birkenstocks, or Uggs. Y
26. Bowties without a tuxedo. N
27. Monk straps, tassels, or square-toed shoes. Y
28. Deep V-neck t-shirts. Y
29. A fake watch. Y
30. Dress shirts with a pocket. Y
31. Baggy clothes. Get the essentials, even jeans, tailored. Y
32. Anything with big logos. Y
33. Your heart on your sleeve. Y
34. Sports sunglasses. Quality shades serve an important function; they let women know you appreciate nice things and are responsible enough not to lose them. Y
35. Noticeable cologne. Men generally have a weak sense of smell and get desensitized to their own scent, so it’s worse than you realize. N
36. Graphic t-shirts. N
37. Pajama pants in public. Y
38. Windsor tie knots. Y (is there an option?)
39. A “going out” shirt. N
40. Women’s clothing. Y
