Va. Baseball Group Scales Down Plans<\/b><\/a> – The Post<\/i> Heather Dinich<\/b> – Paterno makes quite a first impression<\/b><\/a> – CDT<\/i> PSU stocks up on home games<\/b><\/a> – Patriot-News<\/i> I’m sick and tired of re-fighting the Vietnam War. And most importantly, I’m sick and tired of opening the wounds of the Vietnam War, which I’ve spent the last 30 years trying to heal.<\/p>\n
\n
The Loudoun group is now publicly saying they cannot pull off their “town center” concept that would accompany a ballpark. I do not know what this all means in the end, but that was a big selling point for the whole package.<\/p>\n
York: MLB ‘Dying Fast’: Stadium Financing In Question As Baseball Owners Visit<\/b><\/a> – Leesburg Today<\/i>
\n
A very long article on the Loudoun bid which may be “striking out.” We can only hope so and that MLB moves the team to D.C.<\/p>\n
Expos homeless on schedule<\/b><\/a> – USA Today<\/i>
\n
They are scheduled as just the “Expos” and not the Montreal Expos. Also, Hal Bodley<\/b> wonders if they have home dates when Baltimore is on the road. I hope so.<\/p>\n
Portland prepared for next team that moves<\/b><\/a> – AP via ESPN.com<\/i>
\n
It seems like a good strategy for Portland, but do not be surprised if they get a visit from MLB all of the sudden. This has me a little concerned.<\/p>\n
\nONLY 8 DAYS UNTIL KICKOFF<\/h2>\n
\n
Joe Paterno<\/b> has gotten a lot of bad press for yelling at a bunch of little leaguers from Washington state who showed up at practice. I am not going to condone his behavior, but I will add this: “kids, don’t bug daddy when he is working.” <\/p>\n
Nittany Lions looking for consistency on special teams<\/b><\/a> – CDT<\/i>
\n
I do not think consistency was a problem last year, I think competence was the issue. They were consistently awful last season.<\/p>\n
Kinlaw, Hunt want to carry the load for Nittany Lions<\/b><\/a> – CDT<\/i>
\n
A look at the two backs behind Austin Scott<\/b>. Phil Grosz<\/b> was very high on Rodney Kinlaw<\/b>. <\/p>\n
\n
I caught the first few minutes of the Nittany Lion Hotline radio show last night. It is so close you can almost taste it! You can listen here<\/b><\/a>. I also picked up tickets for the first two games. None other than BOBBIE JO<\/b> is on the 2nd game’s tix. She will be missed and apparently, not succeeded; at least this season. <\/p>\n
\nPSU CAGERS AT MCI CENTER!<\/h2>\n
\n
Our favorite hoops scribe, Dave Jones<\/b> takes a look at the Men’s basketball schedule, which looks promising with all of the Saturday games. However, most promising for those of us in BeltwayLand<\/b> is that they will be playing Georgetown<\/b> in D.C. Mark Monday, December 6<\/b> on your calendar. I am sure the Metro D.C. Alumni<\/b><\/a> chapter will have a happy hour before the game and a block of tickets for the game. Oh and Jonesy, the “new” MCI Center will have been open about seven years<\/b> to the day when the Lions play there.<\/b><\/a> – <\/i>
