Yeah -- "you should see the other guy", right?If it makes you look tough then it was definitely worth it.

Did you bow up on the guy and say, "Light work!"Took a mini-vacation to Florida between the end of the season and Big Ten's. And YES, I did play basketball -- and have the shiner to prove it. Got popped pretty good, but scored on the play, so it's all good .
So, if that is the case, aren’t professors (experts?) there to supervise and correct problems. Problems just happen way too often.
You're racking up some serious likes with your off-topic tales. Not that there's anything wrong with that.Indeed, I do subscribe to the belief that sarcasm is at its best when not instantly recognizable. However, that does carry the risk of unintended consequences.
I used to get in trouble a lot with an old girlfriend's acquaintances because I assumed incorrectly that everyone had watched Seinfeld as religiously as I did as a yute . . . a lot of the lines I'd nonchalantly drop into conversations made them think I was a real a-hole. Which, in the end, made it even funnier -- to me. To my girlfriend, not so much.
"That's a shame" and "I hate anyone who ever had a pony" were my biggest downfalls.
I complained about the same thing. The problem is the course is maintained by university employees. There is a union hierarchy at play. So it’s not the best and the brightest based system.This is the same University that has the top turf management program in the country and has nowhere near an elite level golf course(s). Not aesthetically, not quality of grounds, nor difficulty of play.
I would contend PSU audio sucking is Penn State being Penn State.
Yep. Local courses, which have less money, get much more help from the turf group and are much prettier courses.I complained about the same thing.

It was my brother...soooooo yeah .Did you bow up on the guy and say, "Light work!"
My father used to play pick up BBall against Chuck Bednarik when he was around the Upenn Campus a lot post retirement. He said battling Concrete Charlie was no picnicTook a mini-vacation to Florida between the end of the season and Big Ten's. And YES, I did play basketball -- and have the shiner to prove it. Got popped pretty good, but scored on the play, so it's all good .
Presumably it also included a little extra brotherly fart in the face move. Isn’t that technical requirement to score any points?It was my brother...soooooo yeah .

You need a new dentist. No excuse for not getting that reference.Just recalled this one that almost got me in trouble . . . Girlfriend accompanied me when I had to have my wisdom teeth out. I don't remember anything from the first few minutes coming out of the gas, but she said the first thing I said was, "Wasn't my shirt tucked in when we came in here?"
Apparently, the dentist did not get the reference and was not amused in the least, and so my girlfriend once again had to apologize for my behavior. I still maintain that was a good one, though, given I was barely even conscious.

At least they have the excuse of the golf courses being built decades before the turf mgmt program was instituted.This is the same University that has the top turf management program in the country and has nowhere near an elite level golf course(s).

ROTFLMAO! I've always maintained that if you can't quote Seinfeld at least three times a day you've missed the party.
Anti dentiteYou need a new dentist. No excuse for not getting that reference.
Guess you never had an old t-shirt of mine that said "It is better to wrestle and lost than play basketball!"Took a mini-vacation to Florida between the end of the season and Big Ten's.

Unlike, say, the College of Engineering and the saga of having to radically redesign its main building (Hammond) during construction due to a soil test that could've been conducted in the preliminary design phase.
Yep. If you can not put a driver in play your round will consist of many lost balls and a very high score. It isn't just Skytop that is nicer. Centre Hills, Toftrees, Mt View, Sinking Valley, Iron Masters, Belle Springs, Clinton Country Club are all prettier and better maintained courses than the PSU courses.Skytop is a pretty nice course. Pretty darn hard too, especially for someone who isn't very accurate with their driver.
I saw this t-shirt frequently when I was a kid in southeast PA in the 80’sGuess you never had an old t-shirt of mine that said "It is better to wrestle and lost than play basketball!"

So the decade that gave us “destruction and destroy” also gave us “to wrestle and lost”!!!I saw this t-shirt frequently when I was a kid in southeast PA in the 80’s
With everything that has changed in the last 35 years in University Park, how is it possible that the Hammond Building is still standing? It blows my mind every time I go to Zeno's.At least they have the excuse of the golf courses being built decades before the turf mgmt program was instituted.

15 or 20 years ago I got my kids t-shirts that had "Why I Wrestle" on the front. On the back was "Because it only takes one ball to play basketball".I saw this t-shirt frequently when I was a kid in southeast PA in the 80’s

We had standards back in the day?

My son had this one back in Junior High!!"Hold my headgear, while I kiss your girlfriend."
Oh boy. Thanks to your post, your son can never run for public office.My son had this one back in Junior High!!
LOL, he is an electrician and happy. I doubt he would ever consider going into a dirty job like politics!Oh boy. Thanks to your post, your son can never run for public office.
Yeah, it was a long day, but that view off of 16(I think, the downhill par 3) was worth all the pain. Sounds like I have a few courses to visit. Out of that list I've only played Toftrees. Is Centre Hills open to the public? I always thought it was members only.
Centre Hills is the only course on my little list that would require you play with a member.Yeah, it was a long day, but that view off of 16(I think, the downhill par 3) was worth all the pain.

That’s good.
Another popular (and now dated) t-shirt I used to see saw was
“Girls play volleyball
Boys play basketball
Men wrestle”.
