I would think it's fairly obvious that shutting out a bad offense is not as impressive as shutting out a good offense. So, yeah, if you were the only...

Rt. 56 is no joke. One of the most terrifying driving experiences I've ever had was going down a slick hill on 56 heading for Johnstown with a coal truck...

Moving girls' volleyball to the fall had a big negative effect on the field hockey program at our local high school, and we're not a small high school....

[Ship69]

In some cases, yes, but easier said than done in some of the more sparsely populated areas of the state. For one thing, putting together two districts...

Doubt Kutztown would get much play from the Philly area. In our district, York might trend more toward Millersville as a PSAC school. Ship's main three...

One of my wife's cousins was the long-time athletic director at Mount Union. He continued to do that job well beyond his retirement as a teacher, but...

Interesting. The Mid-Penn Conference doesn't group schools strictly by classification, but sometimes takes competitiveness into temptation. They finally...

The days of Stanford football glory are probably past. The current D1 climate does not set up well for them, and being shunted into the ACC, which is...

Kutztown is a little over 30 miles from Reading, while Shippensburg is more than 40 miles from Harrisburg, although the Harrisburg metro area likely is...

They were playing an offense that had been held to 10 or fewer points in four of its previous six games, including being shut out twice....

Interesting scrimmage coming up Sunday for Shippensburg — Penn State.

[Ship69]

Yeah, they might want to be careful what they wish for. Nebraska after Bo Pelini and Wisconsin with Luke Fickell provide good examples of what can happen...

If you're a Chicago sports fan, you can have entire years such as that....

[Ship69]

Smothering the Ship offense these days in not exactly a huge accomplishment. About the only team that hasn't done it this year is Millersville. Snarky...

Most schools don't raid their endowment for athletic purposes. If they did, Northwestern would be outspending anyone in the conference not named Mich...

[Ship69]

Well, if you're an IUP fan looking for a positive, consider that Northwestern was Penn State's Homecoming game....

[Ship69]

Interesting that they list only four players on their roster as forwards. They did go heavy with the imports and have three graduate students. Chris Fite...

Boy, Kutztown's attendance seems low given the quality of teams they've had there the past few years. California is lower than I would think as well....

Some writer in The Athletic today pointed out that the amount that likely will be spent on coaching buyouts this year could pay for the equivalent of...

They've had some decent skill players the past few years. Trouble is, they seem to end up hurt or transferring elsewhere. To get to the next level, they...
