Mixed Bag

Published by rightwingprof under Football, Obama, PA, GWOT

Just an observation here, now, and then I’ll move on — also, I raise no point about the commentators’ support from this. But have you noticed that it’s hip to support the Troops? The Fox guys are in Afghanistan today. They’ve been running tributes all day — and that’s great, really. I just question the […]

Staal v. Staal

Published by rightwingprof under Hockey, PA

Pens beat the Canes in a 3-2 shootout win. And with 12 points (24 goals for, 17 against, and 6-1-0 so far), the Pens are #2 in the NHL, behind the Rangers. Ironically, the only team that has beaten the Pens this season yet is the Phoenix Coyotes (proving that yes, you can sleep on […]

Ka-Ching!

The Pens beat the Flyers last night in Wachovia Center, final score 5-4! But the big news is that nobody told us Philadelphia had hired Mike Tyson. Nobody told Letang, either.
Maybe Hartnell has been hanging out with Vick.

A Great Weekend

Published by rightwingprof under Football, Hockey, PA

There were the two Penn State victories, hockey and football. In the season opener, the Pens rocked the Rangers. On Saturday night, the Pens played the Islanders, and won in a shootout 4-3. Tavares is the man to watch, Islander or no. And where was Doug Weight?
The Steelers haven’t started the season well, with […]

Blood All Over The Rink

Published by rightwingprof under Football, Hockey, PA

The Icers played the Townson Tigers yesterday afternoon, the first Saturday home game of the season. Penn State has almost a whole new team, and there’s a rising star: Dominic Marrone, a freshman, who scored (at least) two goals in yesterday afternoon’s game, and one in Friday night’s game. I say “at least two […]

Today’s the Iowa game, and State College wants blood for last year. The traffic is going to be insane, so we’d better do errands now. At least after today, this ad won’t be running constantly on the local channels.

Wow!

Published by rightwingprof under Hockey, PA

Yeah, we lost (but not for lack of playing, and it’s preseason so it doesn’t count) but that game last night against Montreal was one hell of a game, especially that third period. That’s what you call fighting for the puck.
And steel yourselves for more hockey: The season starts in a week!

Ann Althouse is posting mushroom pics, which brought to mind something I learned about Pennsylvania only after moving here: It’s the mushroom capital of the United States. You can even buy something called “mushroom compost” here (what it is, exactly, I’m not sure, since mushrooms are nearly all water and quickly turn into goo). In […]

That was a hellacious game last night, and the Pens beat the Welfare Queens 4-2. Speaking of and forgive the French, but Mike Babcock is a shitbag, which I guess is appropriate for the coach of the hockey team in America’s sewer town. What a nasty piece of work.
