NJPSU... has he been around?
His head exploded all over the test board a few months back but nothing since.

That must've been a quick clean up.
Maybe but what I recall be favored Pat Devlin over Clark. That set him off
He didn’t seem to get along w Larbno (sp? The trustee. ) something about baseball
Yeah it was almost like he was a family member or close relative as angry as he was about that situation.
Den. Guess I don’t recall him posting on the free board in many years, but I don’t think that’s quite In Memoriam status!
Are there actually people here who have not put that idiot on ignore?
yep, akron making the point that Lubrano was not actually on the baseball team yet claimed it in his bio when running for BOT. Or something similar
I got into it with Akron over the best state university in Ohio with respect to academics. He tried to claim it was OSU, but anyone that knows anything about the state supported schools in Ohio knows Miami University is the best when it comes to academics. OSU has more majors, but Miami has more rigorous academics and is considered a top preprofessional school. It also has the best business school in the state.
This is regarding Marsh, right? The Clark/Devlin situation seemed to create a mental break for him. He went completely off the rails during that time.
That sealed it for him. The Minn. loss in '99 was the tipping point to the dark side. He used to send out a weekly email 'newsletter' about the PSU games. Prior to the '99 Minn. game, he advised PSU fans to get their hotel reservations (in whatever city... New Orleans?) for the NC game vs. who everyone thought was going to be FSU.
We blew the '99 Minn. game, and people called him out for advising fans to make trip plans (some in fun, some not so much in fun), and he lost it. He went from being Marsh Creek Eagle to being Much Big Ego and spent what seemed like the majority of his time on the board telling everyone how smart and successful he was. Became quite the boorish poster.
Then when his friend's kid, Pat Devlin, was not beating out Daryl Clark, a few years after another friend's kid, Tim Johnson, was not getting any PT at LB, although as MBE claimed, 'everyone knew he was the best LB on the team', the camel's back was permanently broken. Tim Johnson was on the team at about the same time as when Poz was emerging as freshman LB, I think. I have no doubt he was talented, but he was not seeing any significant PT over the LBs ahead of him for whatever reasons (probably not producing in practice?). He also got lit up by MRob in the '05(?) B-W game in a bit of a preview of MRob's hit on the poor Minn. DB in '05.
The JS fiasco just cemented MBE's take on JVP as a coach and PSU asset. He was as irrational as anyone in his diatribes back then.
I was among the majority who said good riddance when he left the board.
Long before I was posting he seemed to be the board's untouchable. I always thought Judge was the better go to guy for football information.
I wasn’t on this board (or any board for that matter) in ‘99. I can only imagine what was written.
The thing about the Clark/Devlin situation was that he couldn’t be even remotely objective about it. I thought Clark was a hell of a college QB.
When MBE was just talking football, he was fun to read and to discuss things with. When he made a lot of things personal to him, he wasn't. It was as big a 180 as you could find on here, imo.
Good point about @Judge Smails. He is knowledgeable, objective, posts informative articles without comment, and has a terrific sense of humor. Excellent contributor and provider of info, even sans interns, imo.
I'll also never forget that @Judge Smails was funny as hell the day of the Chris Simms Tennessee commitment fiasco. That was a great day on the board for those of us who could find some humor in it. Not for ChrisNit (wonder what happened to him) though. A cautionary tale for those who claim inside knowledge on a volatile topic.
Yeah, Marsh had been predicting Kevin Jones would go to PSU and didn’t take the reality well.
I was at the 2003 PSU-Northwestern game. Awful game. But I distinctly remember true freshman Poz screaming at Tim Johnson and slapping him on the butt to move over into the proper position. Thought that said a lot about both of those players; Poz destined to be one of the best we've had and Johnson just still not getting it, even as a RS Jr. (think that was his class)
BobPSU92 passed away. He was always meant to be hated, and I contributed accordingly.
