I don't have the proper words, but when I go home, I'm in heaven. It's obviously, a Pee Aye thing, but it matters. It's in the blood of folks that grew up there. It's walking into the woods of a Fall morning. The first cast in Spring. The smell of Pennsylvania.

I know many couldn't wait to leave, but that was never me. I just left for the Rockies. And my leaving was a huge mistake, no matter my successes and life.

The smell of Pennsylvania certainly depends on where in the state.

At my Dad's house outside of town in D4, yes, what you said.

Where I work now, it's the smell of the Delaware River downstream of Philly. Ugh.

True story: there's a brownie factory near my workplace, so it can occasionally smell pleasant. Some idiot at work lodged a formal complaint about having to breathe brownie factory exhaust -- because particulates causing the Delaware River stench are so much healthier. Jackass.

Well, I grew up in a better area, along the Sock and Pine crick. That said, my kin are from Hagerstown, MD. My father, born in 1912, drove mule teams along the canals as a young fellow. When he would take me down home to Maryland, we always went to the tannery he drove skin's to. It was God awful.

Yuck.

Reminds me (indirectly): the smell of Lancaster County isn't all that great either.

What part of the Rockies, Hotshoe? I'm as far east as you can be and still be Idaho. Base of the Grand Teton range.

Lol. I’ve spent more than half my life going to hunting (and snowmobile) camp in Potter and (later) Tioga counties. It was listening to Penn State on (I think Williamsport) radio that I really fell in love with Penn State. If you know the song, we drank, played cards and shot the Bull while listening to Penn State football. For the bigger games, we’d drive into Germania and catch the game at the Waldheim. (That mean anything to you?)

Love it up there. But My dad sold the camp and my uncle moved south when they got old. Been about 5-6 years since I’ve been up that way. I’d like to hike the Rim Trail and the Black Forrest Trail, though. Bought the guides to plan the hike. Just haven’t done it yet.

My Dad still lives in Coudersport. I love going up for visits. Closest decent "big" town is Olean. Spent many weekends there - cause you know the 18yr drinking age In NY.

In this one instance I have to side with women. Once! Ed knew one if my son's roommates. He was down at their apartment several times. That girlfriend kept him in line as much as one could. In my book she helped him to be a three timer.

Now about my wife.........

From Montoursville. Lived on the Sock and Pine Crick!

My mom was born and raised in Montoursville. My Grandfather actually trapped for pelts along the Sock as a young man. I went to 1st & 2nd grade there too. Was born in the western slope of the Rockies myself—Colorado.

There is a quality of the air to both places that mean an awful lot to me.

Look, I will apologize and admit when I am out of line. Which I apparently was here.

I didn’t not mean it as a personal critique of Max. Merely that relative to his abilities I thought he looked far below his best. I’d bet if you’d ask him he’d agree. But the phrasing probably could have been better and for that I apologize.
Click to expand...
Come on CS, if you’re going to apologize don’t make it half hearted. If you need to include the words apparently and probably while apologizing, is it really sincere?

If someone on HR made the same comment about one of their wrestlers, we’d be lining up to criticize them.

I always really enjoy your commentary @CSauertiegPSU , this one about Max, not so much.

Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of commentary that is negative to a competitor, who just lost, because it can be seen as demeaning to both competitors, as it also takes away from the victor's accomplishment.

Same goes for flu rumors, long bus rides, training through, and average officiating.

But hey, that's just me.

Wagon wheel? Where the hell is that? I've been in lock haven for a while never heard of the wagon wheel. I heard of the mangy moose and that burned down.

20 years ago I went to Coudersport for an Interview with Adelphia, before the "issues".

Loved the sign for Potter County "God's Country"...

Better bring plenty of warm clothes. Last 2 years were terribly cold on opening day in Potter County. Had more clothes on than in deer season. I was shaking so bad at one point my wooly bugger probably looked like it was having a seizure. My guides and reel all froze as well.
