My attention and efforts are focused on the participation in and preparation for a championship season:

so I take it you didn’t actually watch the game yesterday? It was incredibly exciting and great baseball. Two of Harper’s walks loaded the bases, leading to very tense moments in a very tight game. Also, unlike the hack-a-shak, walks don’t bring a halt to the game flow, game clock, and game action.

legitimate question, are you the only PSU alum who has any type of reasonable take on what the school is doing right now?

A balk allows the runners already on base to advance one base, it does not allow the hitter to take first base.

I’m just a little mad that Joe Paterno died before being held responsible for his role in all of this. Sure, his name is worthless now, but he got out easy.

Good to know the Catholic Church's PR firm continues to get work.

This seems like it would have been a great chance to just say nothing. I can’t conceive of a possible statement that makes Barron or PSU look good.

I feel like I was the only one who noticed that about Sturridge. Not the cool, collected demeanor and trademark dance. Just raw exuberance. Anyone who questions his attitude or commitment just needs to see that celebration.

Has to be the jug.

I frigging hate Liverpool, but they have the right guy in Klopp. And the Europa League is a lot tougher than most people give it credit for. Though I don’t have it in me to offer them congratulations, I think they’re on the right path, so well done, Pool. And I think I just threw up a little.

This is the correct answer.

It’s no coincidence that an oboe is used for the part of the duck in Peter and the Wolf.

Don’t forget Ruth Underwood!

I know, it’s absurd they’ve only written 2.

Ooh. Burn. Spoken like a true United supporter.

As a longtime Liverpool fan, Klopp has been a lot of fun so far. The winning helps, for sure, especially since our squad is not very deep nor very good most of the time.

1) French horns are the best.
2) Their sound is too awesome to be unleashed forward like everything else. You’d get an erection lasting longer than four hours if that were the case.
3) John Williams puts French horns in everything. This is a man who makes good music. Trust his judgement.

I second the French horn suggestion.
