Black Shoe Diaries Caring Is Creepy....LIVE!!! edition


As threatened earlier this week, I attended two game sessions of the "Pangos All American" camp at Cabrillo High School in Long Beach today. The reason? Two PSU basketball commits were there.

Black Shoe Diaries Phil Davis out



I'm pretty bummed.  This was gonna be my first UFC ppv purchase.  Had people invited and everything.  From what I've read its a knee injury that requires rehab, not surgery.

 

Hopefully Phil gets another shot a main event.  It sounds like his career has been handled cautiously to this point, so it may be a while til he gets another "name" matchup like Rashad Evans.

 

Tito Ortiz has been named as the replacement.

Black Shoe Diaries State College hotel question. Help please.

I am going to State College this summer for the first time in 8 years.  Spending two nights there with my wife as part of a Philly/NYC/PSU trip (she's never been to the East Coast).  Anywho, I'm looking at the Nittany Lion Inn and the Penn Stater for hotels.  I'm familiar with NLI, but not the Penn Stater.  Online it looks like they refurbished a dorm and turned it into a student run hotel.  Anyone ever stay at the Penn Stater?  As much as I loved my time in Mifflin Hall, I have no need to relive that experience.  The price difference is only about $40 so I'm leaning NLI.

Black Shoe Diaries A disturbing question....



I watch a LOT of college football, I mean, A LOT.  I live on the west coast though, so I have lacked a bit in east coast game and team coverage.

 

With that being said, I would like to pose this disturbing question to the BSD board; is Pitt good?

 

I literally have seen like one highlight all year of a Pitt game out here.

 

(75 words, I am going to the NW game this weekend, can't wait, Chicago kicks ass)

Black Shoe Diaries Does anyone know...


 

.....what the kid at Akron did to get booted off the team?  Jacquemain I believe is his name.  Must have been something pretty rough to get dismissed for the whole season.  If it was gambling, he did a TERRIBLE job of throwing the game against us.  PSU spread cover FAIL!!!!  I could have used a little more effort on his part.

I have NO idea if that was it, but it must have been serious.  Just curious to see if anyone had heard anything.

Black Shoe Diaries ***update***Penn State New Year's Eve Party


I do not know much about the details of this event yet, but there will be a Penn State New Year's Eve Party at Mr. Pockets in Manhattan Beach, CA the night before the Rose Bowl.

Any Penn State fan will be welcome as this is a Penn State friendly bar here in SoCal.  We are deep in USC territory, so for fans that are coming out for the Rose Bowl this will be a nice opportunity to get together and bring in the new year.

I'll update this when I get some more information.

***The guy who is organizing this emailed me a radio ad for this event.  Ayone know how to upload a .mp3 so i can link everyone to it?
