3. High Noon
4. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
5. True Grit (original)
6. A Fistful of Dollars

Old men walking in the park...

Children playing...

...in a split second they were all KILLED.

But, it saved American lives....BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Got to thinking
The Jazz Singer with Neil Diamond - terrible script, worse acting and Sir Laurence must have been embarrassed, but the music was/is great.

Other thoughts?

I figure that story is at least as worthy of discussion here as some of the stuff we are going on about this morning.

IMHO, it is good to see PSU taking a firm position on this.

Disney down 10% mainly on ESPN numbers. Iger said its all good even has the discussion delved into the end of the bundle. So the question is if you had the choice to pick any channel, would you drop ESPN? What would you be willing to pay/month to keep it? $15? $25? $35?

The older I get the less sports I watch. Rarely watch ESPN except when they have a Penn State sporting event. Never watch any of their talk/analysis shows, not even their pregame stuff. If I had the option to livestream PSU stuff or somehow else view them, I would probably drop ESpiN

just listening to Episode 2 of their new "Reasonable Doubt" podcast on itunes, and they were discussing Bill Cosby. They were talking about if anyone has gone from being so beloved to being so vilified so quickly, and Adam said, "Joe Paterno"

Geragos adds: "Joe has made a comeback in death, it's bizarre, but it is good for Penn State, Nittany Lion fans"

keep fighting!

Some here may even know or know of the accused. He's an oncologist at Allegheny General.

OK, so the 4 star RB that did not qualify for Wisky is going to Nebraska. I did not realize that Wisky had higher standards for admission than the NCAA minimum. I know we do and I am positive NW does. Does anyone know which Big 10 schools "accept' only the minimum? Other than Nebraska and OSU ??
Nothing technically wrong with minimal NCAA acceptance rules.

Oops, should have used "too" instead of "to" in title. Damn english "rules".

Lot's of rock n' roll on here recently, time to get our 80's new wave on! What is 'new wave'? It's pretty broad (by my definition); not just synthesizers and moody lyrics - but plenty of those too. Notice I said 'Favorite', not 'Best,' which tends to irk some people.

Question: Who is/was your favorite 80's New Wave band/act?

Criteria: This is always tricky; tried to pick bands who were sort of at the 'forefront' of new wave music birthed out of the post punk movement in England. That said, some of these could be a bit 'iffy' (looking at you, The Police)....

Rules: Two votes per person; spread the love (and hair gel!).

Write In's: Welcome! Add to the nostalgia (and someone try to keep track...).


1. The Cure



2. The Smiths



3. The Police



4. The Eurythmics



5. New Order



6. Talking Heads



7. Duran Duran



8. The Go Go's



9. Depeche Mode



10. Culture Club



Close but didn't make my Top Ten:

Tears for Fears, Flock of Seagulls, Eurasure, Pet Shop Boys, INXS, Bananarama, The Cars, and David Bowie, but it's really, really, really hard to pin him down to one genre...

The below article lists the weight changes of a number of PSU players since the end of spring camp. I found this one a little scary. Thoughts?

Andrew Nelson 310 to 290

Heading out later today for a motorcycle vacation through the Canadian provinces. Have been looking through the various websites and travel guides, but am interested if anyone has any personal recommendations.

We will take a couple of days to get there, not expecting to arrive until Friday into Halifax. Should be in the area for about a week.

Any advice/tips/etc. is appreciated.

from Terps

in Nov of 2001. That really makes me sound old. I guess I am. I remember some of the posters from back then and some of the ones we've lost since then. Carol, who changed to Carol1, and can't remember his name but he and his wife were killed in a car accident. Very sad. I always enjoyed their perspective. Life goes on but don't forget the past.

On a rising tide, don't move back into the people who were smart enough to check the tide tables. Leapfrog!

gotta say the Mexico/Panama game was perhaps the WORST fixed sporting event I have seen in a long time. Couldn't believe how blatantly the refs handed that game to Mexico. My brother and I were watching the game at a bar, and we were trying to think of other sporting events that were "fixed" that poorly.

I think the best example we could think of was the 1972 Olympic Basketball game between the USA and Russia . . . but of course, we only watched replays, did not see it live.

of course OSU/PSU came up . . . LOL

Mark Emmert: Unfit to Lead

Evidence revealing the level of Mark Emmert's corruption and lack of integrity in the Penn State case are grounds for his removal.

By Ray Blehar | Thursday, July 23, 2015



Today is the third anniversary of Penn State University's (PSU) and the NCAA's unprecedented agreement to punish the PSU football program and athletic department without cause.

The evidence in the case proves that conduct of NCAA President Mark Emmert was so unethical, dishonest, and, at times delusional...
