    Penn State recommendations

    I actually love these responses, I have disliked Penn State wherever I have been and always will, and unlike some disillusioned guy suggested, I would never ask Penn State fans to talk about Penn State

    Penn State recommendations

    Personally, I am a Syracuse legacy (both parents Syracuse graduates), a Pitt graduate (2 degrees) and a Rutgers parent (and former season ticket holder). Penn State is an enemy at all 3 locations. I suspect the typical Rutgers fan doesn’t realize how much Syracuse hates Penn State. Nevertheless...

    Caleb Swanigan dead

    Do you mean because he was overweight? There are lots and lots or overweight people who do not die at such a young age.

    OT (kinda?): Lax Final UMD/Cornell

    I was fortunate to have attended several Cornell lacrosse games in 1976 at Schollkopf Stadium, fun times and some great teams.

    More "help" from Trenton - not really helping

    I don’t think any professors or researchers ever can get the defined benefit pensions. I heard that there are some old timers (40+ years) who qualify but everyone else has a 403b, which is same as 401k. For research grants under about $400K, it is just professors and graduate students. The...

    OT: Civil War Buffs

    not everyone, my great grandfather had a doctorate from Syracuse University in the late 1800s. I’m not necessarily proud of that or bragging, I never even met the man obviously, but there were still many educated people then

    OT: Least Favorite Athlete

    I liked Macho Camancho. In the early part of his career, he was a showboat and braggart, so understand your feelings. However, he also won in exciting fights, but then later in his career, he became a boring fighter, doing just enough to win. His murder was a tragedy

    OT: Civil War Buffs

    We still have all the letters written by my great great grandfather who served in the Civil War under McClellan, which means he didn’t see as fighting as the soldiers under Grant or Sherman. Although he was born in America, he was of Irish descent. In his letters he often talked about how Irish...

    OT: Olympics

    most of the Canadian and Americans playing on China’s hockey team have only lived in China for 2 years. Mandarin Chinese is a very difficult language to learn. It is very doubtful they speak any Chinese at all, beyond hello and thank you and bI would like a beer.

    OT: Tip culture

    Another international tipping story. Ten years ago I was in Chengdu, China, which is in the center of the country. I was mostly alone, and there is almost no English spoken there, at least not 10 years. I would eat alone at the hotel restaurant. One night, I did notice another white guy eating...
