passed away at 58.

Sorry on my phone and can’t link the story.

Freshman from Nazareth knocks off #1 Lugo at 149, which appears to be a weight class where Penn State could use some help. Did Cael recruit him?

Lee Really needs to follow his heart and come back to PA! TnT are simply ruining him and PSU could use him at 125

Anyone familiar with the recent country song? How about this video?

In early December my son asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I told him that I would like a new wallet. Being the considerate son he is he goes out and buys 2 wallets for me to pick from. I picked one and instead of having him take the other back I bought it from him and decided that I would give it to my brother for his Birthday....which is tomorrow. My wife said..you never give a wallet without money in it. Being the cheapskate I am I put 20 bucks in. So you know, the wallet I kept was the less expensive of the two. Now I was concerned that maybe he doesn't need a new wallet. Maybe he likes the one he has. So I put the receipt in the wallet. In case you wanted to return it for something else. Second week of December I wrapped it for his Birthday...tomorrow. Flash forward to yesterday. I called my brother ( who lives about 10 mile from me) to chat. In the conversation he brings up that on Saturday he lost his wallet. Say what? I am thinking to myself...are you kidding me? He explains how he is going to have to go out and get a new driver's license etc. etc. This morning he calls me and tells me that when he went out to get his paper there was a package next to the paper. Inside was everything he had in his wallet except for the money and the wallet. How strange is that? Tomorrow he gets a new wallet and $20 nicely wrapped and ready for him since last month. Today I bought lotto.

These are some big declines.

TMZ and profootballtalk.com reporting police at his house again and that he could be charged with felony assault and burglary for an incident with a moving company.

Saw he’s visiting Ohio State this weekend, is he no longer going to Isu? Seems like he’d be a logical fit for us due to freestyle aspirations, and being very close to rby. Think getting him enrolled would be tough?

My son is spending this semester in Barcelona through the PSU program with EIS (European International School). My wife, son and I are traveling over in late March to visit him.

Questions for anyone who's been to Spain and even better, Barcelona:

1) Are we better off renting a car for the week (they are dirt cheap) or relying on public transit, uber, etc. Is it reasonably safe to drive?

2) Any recommendations for reasonable hotels in safe areas?

3) Better off staying IN Barcelona or somewhere in the 'burbs?

4) Found a GREAT looking beachfront apartment in Castelldefels. Safe area? It looks like a 20-30 min commute to Barcelona, and 35 mins to EIS.

5) Any other thoughts, pointers, recommendations?

Lets get ready to Rumble!!

WJAC had a very brief report tonight stating that Ellison Jordan filed a lawsuit against PSU and CJF. No further details and I can’t find anything online about this.

Just saw a post on Facebook that Busiello is indeed headed to PSU. No confirmation at this moment, but I suspect it's true.

Old Dominion has announced several members of Ricky Rahne's new staff and it unsurprisingly includes several former PSU staffers.

Kirk Campbell -- Offensive analyst at Penn State, OC/QB coach at ODU
Kevin Smith -- Defensive GA at Penn State, STC/OLBs at ODU
Kevin Reihner -- Offensive GA at Penn State, OL coach at ODU
Mark Dupuis -- Offensive GA at Penn State, WR coach at ODU

Tony Lucas -- RB/STC at Elon, RB coach at ODU

Football Scoop reported that WVU's ILB coach Blake Seiler will be Rahne's DC.

... is nauseating. Fawning all over growing up in the Midwest, etc, etc. You can see why Penn State never had a chance to be selected. And spare me the beat Minnesota crap. How about beating Illinois.

know why this board is so hateful about the BIG. I can see not wanting Michigan to win, but Ohio State , Minnesota, and the rest of the BIG winning just helps us.

I bleed Penn State and live in Memphis. So excited to see Lions in person. Equally disappointed with PSU fans. Everytime I looked at PSU fans and they were sitting down.

What the hell is BTN going to talk about? I guess OSU and UM Basketball talk.

Shurmur was canned. Rhule was an assistant in NY, possibly returning as HC.

7-0 this year gets us us to an all time 81.3% winning percentage with a solid lead over 2nd place.

Team Win% gm W L T
Penn State 81.3% 646 525 109 12
Auburn 79.3% 488 387 92 9
Oklahoma 79.1% 555 439 97 19

So It looks like a slow Sunday, so a little trash. Unfortunately in these cases, no one is more embarrassed then the kid whose parent acted like the jack ass. The "protected kid" would have been much better off with his peers and his own ego if the helicopter parent did not swoop into the scene. What the heck was this guy thinking, or more than likely not thinking ?

I really wish I had not wasted so much time running in my younger days. Lifting is what I should have been doing all along. For teens, this is a no-brainer, spending an hour in an activity where you can measure your progress every day. At a gym you hang around impressive people who work hard at life. You learn to push yourself consistently and to define success by how much you've improved.

Push the mathematics and push the gym and your son will be ready to make a difference when it's his time.

For example:

Watching a little bit of the movie Love Actually, I was reminded of the storyline where the young Englishman dreams of going to Wisconsin and hooking up with beautiful women.

Going to Costa Rica soon and then plan to go to some other Central American countries in the near future. Not going to do any crazy stuff, but want to be comfortable on any excursions in the jungle.

What clothing and hiking gear (type of boots) came in handy? What would you have left behind?

I have a lot of gear for temperate hiking and hiking in hot, dry climates, but not hot, humid, very rainy, mosquitoey climates.

Cost not a huge consideration - I like splurging for gear and plan to do multiple trips
