"Smith is a Big Drop off from Cabinda"
- Thread starter bobroars
- Start date
ESPN2 B team is a big dropoff from the kid that does our high school soccer games
That was funny. Looked like a coupla smacked asses. Couldn't have been better timing.
LOL.
That was a tough duo to listen too. Talk about blathering on in the 2nd half and
that was before the game got out of hand.
And who was the dork on the field? that segment about the train was just down
right painful to watch.
While the statement is unerringly true, it was still great timing.
Gotta love Smith. What a story.
Gotta love Smith. What a story.
All of Lewisburg was cheering. That much I know. The announcers are idiots. That much I know as well.
Smith is the most fundamentally sound LB PSU has on roster. Vandelinden could make this "natural MLB" even better. The kid "has it"

Regardless "if" Smith is a dropoff from Cabinda or not. You have to love the fact that this only makes the depth stronger for the future. A++ to this team guys!
I forgot that Brandon Smith is only a junior too. That's great.
Heck yeah, everything looking up!
For two seasons the CURRENT staff have been telling Brandon Smith he didn't have the "measurables" and talent to play linebacker, even though he excelled on the Scout Team. It wasn't until they were forced to play him due to injuries to the starters that Smith was able to prove them wrong. Thankfully, the CURRENT coaches have now digested their helping of crow and added him to the depth chart.yes please try not to give any of the CURRENT staff credit.
idiot.
A bit of trivia: Ron Vanderlinden was instrumental in convincing Brandon Smith to pass on the Ivy League and follow his dream to Penn State. I have to believe he saw something in Smith.
I believe they are related to the Varano's, a well known Mount Carmel family. Some great athletes in that family too.
Free drafts at Mattucci's!
Awesome bit of trivia. Gee I wonder who helped to develop that talent. Hmmmm
Honest its ok to give the CURRENT staff some credit, it doesn't mean your dissing Joe, really its ok.
ahh the Willow Café
There's a new bar in town - the Hard Coal Café down on the Northeast end of town - used to be Czeponis'
Great food and only 1/2 block from my House !!!!!
And exactly half way between my house and the In-Laws !! hahaha
I've had a man crush on Smith all season. As I've posted numerous times, he has a nose for the ball. And he's a sure tackler. Very often he's on a direct beeline to the ball.
Yes her Mom is a Varano
I played ball with and against her uncle Rob - he went to Lehigh as TE and got a try out with the Bengals
Rob's daughter is an awesome athlete and plays soccer with my daughter - well actually did play with her- our season just ended
The older daughter is runs track at Bucknell
PS - her Dad is a Cole (not too bad of an athlete in his own right)
This is why you turn off the sound, listen to Jones and Ham and deal with the TV delay.
Been to Mattucci's many times, also Dorko's. Great prices. Also another place operated by an older fella....forget the name of the place because, well....you know how it goes sometimes. It was on a corner where you come in from Centralia.
I give the CURRENT staff credit for realizing their mistake and playing Brandon Smith more than just special teams, which he still plays. Not sure why you called Peetz Pool Boy an "idiot" though?
Brandon Smith held our defense together until the starters were healed and continues to make plays in diminished playing time. His added depth is one of the biggest stories of this season.
I was disappointed with today's broadcast. What happened to beth mowin's patented graphic detailing the sanctions? She wasted several opportunities to review them for us.
"Brandon Smith held our defense together until the starters were healed and continues to make plays in diminished playing time. His added depth is one of the biggest stories of this season."
1000000% TRUE!
I wish I could, but I cut the cord a while back and am at the mercy of broadcast networks and the occasional legally questionable online sites. Consequently, I can't do the "dvr shuffle."
Not a fan of Dorkos although we won them a softball championship
I'm wondering if the older fellas place coming in from Centralia was "Eddie's Cafe"
If it was that was my grandfathers place and he had the BEST Boilo anywhere!
Is he a junior? Don't recall his name before this season...special teams? did he redshirt? I know he is (was) a walk-on
OK, no I was told it was "Jack's Place" from a witness. I'm told the place I thought I was at was Shaulinski's.
Shaulinkskis is at 5th and Market when you come in from Centralia
Jacks place is now what the Hard Coal is
Actually not quite Diamondtown - that's actually in MC Twp further down the road a bit
This area was known as Camptown
Makes me wonder who BOB tried to recruit for LB coach before he had to consider Vanderlinden. I have to think it may be a while before PSU has another LB coach with his ability (and humility).
That would be Brent Pry..the defensive coordinator who seems to take a "coaching vacation" every first half.
