Big Dog was dominant, and durable. He has as good a senior season as I've seen at UA. He was awesome.

Jason Taylor and Thomas Woodson. Kegger at KD's place in Squirrel Hill Friday night, everybody drives to State College Saturday morning.

You do realize this is the Penn State thread, right? Certainly, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I really do not agree with your assessment of this roady at all. First of all, it is located right square in the middle of B.F.E. There is literally nothing to do in these hick towns that surround the place. The closest hotel room we could get worth staying in last time was in Clearfield. Denny's Beer Barrel Pub was a nice place to get a burger and a couple of draft craft brews but more of a restaurant than a bar. You can only sit there so long. We asked the question at Denny's where the closest sports bar was. . .we were sent to "Legends Sports Bar & Grill". We punch in the address into the GPS and it takes us into a residential area where we see the so-called sports bar. It's in the downstairs of a house. So we walk in and have a seat. The barmaid comes around and ZipsWin! asks for a beer list. "We don't have a beer list but we've got anything you want." ZipsWin! presses her and she says with a labored sigh the draft list, "Bud, Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Lite, Yuengling and Shock Top". I s.hit you not. We wind up at another hole in the wall bar downtown and finally decide to go back to Denny's for some carry-out beer (Pennsylvania beer laws ). We go back to the hotel and drink on the back patio until they turned the lights out on us and told us to go to our rooms. Had a nice conversation with a young lady from Georgia (not the one that borders Florida), before we were given the bum's rush though. We only had a few more sips in the room before hitting the sack because we had to get up before dawn to continue the rest of the trek to B.F.E. It literally takes forever to get to Happy Valley and it's not the most enjoyable drive. When we finally got there, we flashed our pre-paid Beaver Stadium Parking Pass. I'm looking at it as I speak. Audit# 07440. That pass was good for one parking spot. In a horse arena. Once again, I s.hit you not. Our group had a fun time in and amongst ourselves like we always do, but I found the fanbase to be awfully cocky and superior acting for the slice of humble pie they had been recently served. There was certainly no shame in their game! We were even asked in a very insulting way what a "Zip even was, anyway?" and the response was classic, not suitable for print on this fine forum and clearly struck a nerve with the drunken redneck Nit that asked it. I found the in game experience to be sterile and unexciting, much like their white & blue uniforms and black shoes. After the disappointing loss, we wound up at Otto's which was a great little brewery with decent beer and fantastic food. After a quick sup, we made the grueling journey back to civilization. That reminds me. . . What are the best two things to ever come out of Pennsylvania? I-80 & I-76 West. Mark me down for return trips to Wisconsin, Tennessee, Michigan, Pittsburgh or any other roady I've taken to watch the Zips but Penn State? No, thank you. Been there and done that.

Kostelac, Formerly of Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin, to Attend Akron – By Nate Barnes, The News-Herald – full article found here – .... a foot fracture, which required the insertion of a four-inch screw to heal properly, cost him valuable recruiting time in the summer of 2015. While he had interest from West Virginia, Dayton, Cleveland State, Kent State and other schools, Kostelac was advised by some of those coaches a postgraduate season would properly ready him for the college game. ... he knows what seemingly everyone says about the players IMG sends to the next level is true. “They’re gigantic steps ahead of everyone else on the freshman level,” Kostelac said. “They gave us the right habits and taught us how to take care of our body and prolong our career and all that stuff, then just how to work with or without a coach in the gym.” Kostelac is ahead in the classroom, too. He attended classes at South Florida and already has a semester’s worth of college credit completed. ...“I really think this next year or the year after that you’ll see us in the tournament,” Kostelac said. “That’s for sure. I want to win the MAC, and I don’t know the guys real well because it’s all new to me, but it’s really a great group. Really talented, athletic. I don’t see a reason we shouldn’t make it.”

Woodson aside, between Ramart, Nelson and Johns, we'd better have a starting QB for the next couple years, or someone really f'd up. If we have an open scholarship, we need a Coe, Grice, Marcus, Capi...etc. Hopefully not a QB.

Source: U of A "We are excited to add a player like Eric to the roster," Groce said. "He is a 6-foot-3 high-energy guard with a 6-foot-10 wingspan. He is an exceptional two-way player that uses his length and skill to be a tremendous defender as well as an explosive offensive player that can make shots and finish at the rim."Hester arrives to Akron from Florida and will be eligible to compete during the 2018-19 season. As a freshman at Florida, Hester played in 20 games, averaging 5.6 minutes per game. He scored 43 total points, supported by a 15-of-23 (.652) showing from the field that included an 11-of-19 (.579) effort from beyond the 3-point arc. In addition, Hester pulled down 10 rebounds and dished out six assists with six steals. Hester's freshman season highlights include a career-high 16 points at LSU on a perfect 5-of-5 performance from long distance. He also scored eight points against Missouri on 3-of-5 (.600) shooting and 2-of-4 (.500) from deep. "As we continue to build our roster it is essential that we add versatile players like Eric," Groce said. "Coming from a great high school program and playing at Florida, Eric has competed against some of the best guards in the country. He knows what it takes to be successful at this level and loves to be in the gym. Eric plays with a high-level of emotion and energy, and that passion inspires his teammates." Hester was rated as a four-star prospect out of Oldsmar Christian. In addition, USA Today had Hester tabbed as a Top 100 player.

Ohhh. Don't let it happen again. We expect pin point accuracy...like a Forsythe hook shot.

Huh??

Brad had a co-op job, too. Kudos to Engineering Consultants Group, Inc. for giving a top-notch student athlete such an opportunity with what had to be a crazy work schedule.

Just stop
