Nobody rocks more Nittany Lions gear than someone with a two year General Studies degree from Penn State Altoona.

If you swapped an NHL goalie and an MLB catcher, who has the better transition?

Science fiction often has the misfortune of being defined more by who likes it than by what it actually is.

While I do like the handshake line, there’s a reason why they don’t have them in the regular season.

They don’t? I mostly watch college hockey*. I guess I never noticed this about the NHL.

* and I’d be watching some this week if Frozen Four tickets in my hometown weren’t six hundred fucking dollars.

The Dark Knight sucked, and if Heath Ledger had survived filming it we’d be lumping it in with the Val Kilmer Batman movie.

Hey, that’s the same keyboard as on my wife’s laptop. It’s the worst. I hate the ones with the numpads and thus off-center trackpad.

Yup. I have no problem with college games, but the parking lot of the Ralph before or after that week’s Bills loss is like the goddamned Thunderdome without the charm.

As is the custom, the facial hair denotes that this is the evil twin. The good one being Patton Oswalt.

What my kids have been to, however, are a handful of independent league games. And they love them. But they have no idea who the Cardinals really are.

I don’t think I know anyone who actually had time to eat the food at their wedding reception. That’s a party for everyone except the bride and groom. For them, it’s work.

(Related story: we were so goddamned hungry between the ceremony and the reception that we had the limo take us to Wendy’s. I think this is normal.)

The majority of new faculty hires in academia are adjuncts — paid starvation wages with no benefits.

I remember reading several years ago in the Chronicle of Higher Education that for every new tenure track position in an English department, there were 400 newly minted PhDs granted in English. That was about the time…

If you’re familiar with the Buffalo area at all, I live in the Parkside neighborhood in North Buffalo. My inlaws in Cheektowaga think it’s the hood.

You sure? I always thought it meant “Polish racists near an airport”. Huh.

Don’t worry, guys, now that Aunt Becky has been brought to justice we are finally competing on a completely level playing field here in America.

I wonder how long it will take people to realize that they don’t actually like living in New York City.

Worked out great for Steamin’ Willy Beeman.

I don’t really follow the whole combine/draft thing very closely -- do people think there’s a chance that Tyree might actually get drafted this year? That would be pretty exciting for UB.

It reminded me of when Jose Reyes was playing here on an injury rehab a few years ago, only more so. Looked like a grown man playing in a little league game.

It won’t suck for everyone - those of us here in Buffalo, where he’ll be playing AAA ball, will actually have something sports-related to root for.

Come on, we have to endure the Bills and Sabres, let us have this.

I think that’s why it’s a most popular sport. Sixteen games, most of which happen on Sunday afternoon so I can have a couple of beers and chill on the couch? That’s fine. Compared to the schedule for hockey or basketball or (god help me) baseball? That shit’s like having a second job.
