Who knew that Harrisburg University (if you had even heard of them) had two international campuses - one in Panama, the other in Dubai? Not this guy. Anyway, they're struggling.

If you lived in the Harrisburg region you certainly would have heard of them. They started a video gaming team a couple of years back and that team probably got more coverage in two months than Ship or Millersville football usually gets in two years.

This is big news. I'm not sure what to make of the guy, but he was the first chancellor to effectively advocate for more funding.

Just like a rat to flee a sinking ship.

Wow! Shouldn't be surprised, I guess. He wasn't going to retire there.

I suddenly have this great appreciation for the guy. His departure makes me kind of afraid, at this point in time.

For the benefit of those who hadn't heard of Waynesburg, I just read somewhere today that Mason Miller, the All-Star relief pitcher for the Oakland A's, is a Waynesburg graduate.

On a side note, the town where I live was once named Waynesburg, but there turned out to be more than one of those in Pennsylvania, which complicated things for postal delivery. So our town became Waynesboro, which it remains today.

The A's also just drafted Seton Hill's ace in Rd 17 this week.

They didn't recruit Kobe. He just chose to go to LM when the family came back from Italy. It was as much a choice about academics than anything and he had family in Ardmore.

Speaking of Kobe, his dad, Joe Bryant, passed away. He was only 69. Sheez.

Thanks. I didn't realize PennDOC had two prisons that close in the same part of Greene County (the old prison was in Morgan Township; the current SCI Greene super-max facility is in Franklin Township).

[Bart]

SCI Greene opened in 1993 and remains active; it's located outside Waynesburg at I-79 and PA 21.

Could you possibly be thinking of SCI Greensburg (which closed in 2013)?

They had a state prison in Waynesburg until 2003, but I think someone else bought the place.

Nope. Never heard of it.

Well, I will make sure to include them at least once this year in the Pick 'Em.

I'm sort of surprised you want to a Western Pa. school and hadn't heard of Waynesburg. They have shrunk, like many small Pa. colleges now, but some years back were a serious power in small-college football and wrestling. One of my close friends is a Waynesburg graduate.

Nope. Never heard of it.
