Born and raised a half hour from Happy Valley in the same year JoePa took the boys to a stunning upset of Miami and a 2nd national title. So I was destined to attend PSU and inherit all that comes with being die hard, blue bleeding nittany lion.
The Phillies are also a passion of mine. Right up there with dear old state. Also a fan of Vikings football, Knicks B-Ball, Flyers Hockey and Mixed Martial Arts.

Also, Minor League baseball might be the most underrated thing in history. Cheap seats, small town teams, summer time, slightly less expensive beer, odd promotions and giveaways, the whole bit. I'm a sucker for the poetry-esque-ness of baseball and the foaming-at-the-mouth patriotism of college football.

Also, if you don't appreciate MMA, give it a shot. Trust me, you won't regret it.

a fan of

Philadelphia Phillies Major League Baseball Team

New York Knicks National Basketball Association Team

Minnesota Vikings National Football League Team

Penn St. Nittany Lions NCAA Men's Football Division 1A Team

Penn St. Nittany Lions NCAA Men's Basketball Division 1 Team

Anderson Silva / Phil Davis/Jon Jones Mixed Martial Artist(s)
