    Dune Pt2

    I’m a big fan of the first four books. I went to see part 1 and part 2 in an IMAX theatre. I thought that both we great movie - powerful, beautiful, well crafted with some outstanding performances. I knew that there was no way they could recreate the first book in its entirety. It was just...

    Debate at PSU to name the field after Joe Paterno

    I would refer you to the title of this thread. On this topic, you’ll be waiting a long time before you get an apology from me. And to steal OttoinGrotto’s line - “I’ll see Paterno in hell”.

    Debate at PSU to name the field after Joe Paterno

    You’re asking the wrong question. The right question is “should the person who knew that the athletics department facilities were used by a pedophile to rape young boys have their name on a building at Penn State?” I would go with NO, but you have every right to say YES.

    Debate at PSU to name the field after Joe Paterno

    You might want to watch the Sandusky documentary on Netflix to get a different viewpoint on Paterno. I don’t know what the truth is, but Paterno was the most powerful man on campus. The college officers and the board did his bidding. And I find it very hard to believe that he didn’t know...

    Debate at PSU to name the field after Joe Paterno

    I actually agree with you. This wasn’t a NCAA issue. It was a criminal justice issue. And there wasn’t a DA in PA that would touch it.

    Debate at PSU to name the field after Joe Paterno

    Not a lawyer by any standard, and I don’t have access to any collected evidence, but possibly obstruction of justice? Failure to report as a Title IX mandatory reporter?

    Local eats

    Had a very good meal at Grotto in North Syracuse on route 11. Good choices on the menu, and was nicely priced. Grotto I really liked Cider Mill as well. Has a nice patio for good weather dining. Dashers in the village of Homer is great as well.

    Arizona Considers Cutting Sports Teams

    If college sports are privatized, would they no longer be a non profit organization? Would donations end? How does this effect the non-revenue sports? So many questions.

    2024 Lakeview Amp Schedule

    There's a big difference between artist streaming popularity and artist concert attendance. Country music fans go to concerts. And they aren't afraid to drive a long way to see a concert. CMAC had 17 concerts - 3 were country. 4 were tribute bands. Darien Lake had 19 concerts - 4 were...

    I think she on her way to a top tier directing career, showing that she can work on bigger budget films as will as her indie projects.

    Northwestern fires Pat Fitzgerald after hazing inquiry

    Exactly. Blaming the victim seems to always be a go-to move in damage control. ESPN seems to enjoy promoting the irrational defense response.

    Red Hot Chili Peppers | JMA Dome Fri Apr 14

    The famous “play the encore wearing nothing but a tube sock” show. Faith No More was the opener (with their original vocalist high AF) and we’re trying to upstage the headliner with stage antics. RHCP came out on fire and blew up the stage (figuratively speaking). Legendary show.

    What I'm hearing

    Good point on the NIL. I'd like to think SU will pay well, but JB has been paid less than his peers. Will SU offer 4M-5M per year? Otherwise its mid-major or Mike Hopkins or Red.

    Patrick Beilein named Boys HC at Baldwinsville

    He wasn't fired from Niagara (he resigned) but he would have been. He was not taking "no" for an answer from the staffer he was harassing. Even worse, her significant other was a long time friend of Beilein's who he hired as an assistant. There were complaints about him at LeMoyne, but he...

    Patrick Beilein named Boys HC at Baldwinsville

    Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't stating that Beilein was going to teach. My point was that the district would never hire a teacher who had to resign because they otherwise were going to be fired for sexual harassment. So why would they hire a basketball coach who had to resign because they...

    Yes the employee filed a complaint. And the boyfriend asst coach and the staffer knew Pat for years. And yes there were problems with Beilein at LeMoyne. The LeMoyne part I'm quite sure of.

    ND AD Says D1 Breakup is Inevitable

    I agree. Was the NCAA going to try to limit what athletes can get for compensation of their likeness and their sponsor value? They knew that the lawsuits would bury them and threw their collective hands in the air. The quicker the "business league" schools split off the sooner the other 200...
