This P.O.S. turd would have no way of knowing it, but I went to school at PSU while Blackledge was there. Can't say I was close with him, but via common friends, etc...would run into him occasionally at Rec Hall playing pick-up basketball or in social situations (parties, etc...). Spoke with him many times in situations where people I was hanging out with were hanging out with him and the group he was with (he was very good friends with Curt Warner, who was often in the group Blackledge was with). I can tell you this with certainty - both Blackledge and Warner were exceptionally good guys. Great athletes, but equally good guys especially in terms of being "genuine" high character guys - as was a guy who I actually was fairly close with as he lived next to me for 2 years in West Halls, Steve Sefter. Any parent would be proud to call these guys their son - super high achievers in all things, not just sports, and especially high achievers in attitude, character, integrity, values, etc... these were the type of guys you would go to war with and know that they would likely make you look like a coward. This guy is an @sshole who doesn't know $hit about Todd Blackledge, "the person", because Todd Blackledge is a better man this sorry sack of $hit even though that isn't saying all that much.
