The Mid-Penn really seems to be having a down year. Both CD and CDE are bad this year, Carlisle hasn't been relevant in years, Cumberland Valley has been...

[Ship69]

Smart move for Bloom, of course, would be to install a lot of stuff that wasn't on that video. I guess this incident does show that PSAC staffers do take...

[Ship69]

You're probably smarter than me. The only reason I'm on it is that it's where I keep track of a few friends and some organizations. It's largely gar...

[Ship69]

Unfortunately, it still does. One of the latest topics of conversation for Facebook nitwits is that contrails left behind by aircraft are some sort of...

I took some teacher ed courses in the late '80s when I was between jobs after a layoff and was thinking of teaching as a Plan B. One of the implications...

[Ship69]

One thing that kills me these days is that people denounce the "everybody gets a trophy" mentality in sports if you give kids in the youth programs...

[Ship69]

I'm encouraged with what I've seen from Coach Drew and his staff, naturally with the caveat that they still have a lot of work ahead of them. He's told...

Did IUP have some injuries on the D-line? That unit looked very exploitable. A Ship team that had 96 yards rushing against Lock Haven and 120 against...

I don't know that they're a super step up from Ship. Their defense is interesting, but I watched them struggle mightily to beat a Lackawanna team that...

[Ship69]

Looking at some of those teams, I'd say not all of them are getting real bang for the buck. I do like our D2 games, but a couple of recent conversations...

[Ship69]

As I said in another post, they'd better have doggone good teams for the money they're going to be charging up there....

[Ship69]

Ship used to go toe to toe with James Madison years ago and beat them as often as not. And we were tied with North Dakota State at halftime of an NCAA...

[Ship69]

Northwestern 41, Coach Prime 7. I think the great experiment at Colorado might be close to finito....

[Ship69]

Portland State. More pathetic scheduling. USC is starting to look a little suspect as well. They couldn't defend a bad Rutgers team today....

[Ship69]

Liked the play calling overall, but wasn't a big fan of two straight passes on third and a short one situations in the last quarter. Ship has been running...

[Ship69]

Yeah, give 'em a little room because I know they've had some injuries at IUP, but that certainly wasn't anything close to a top 15 performance against...

[Ship69]

Well, yeah, but you guys can't be very happy about that one. I just got back from the game, and that score was no fluke. That was a very closely contested...

[Ship69]

As I said elsewhere, I think D2 sports at our PSAC schools are a hidden entertainment bargain, especially considering that the small towns where most...

[Ship69]

That $48,000 they list as the average salary for recent college graduates also sounds low. Most surveys I've seen say it's $55,000 or more. And all they...

[Ship69]

What probably is hurting Ship at the moment is the state of the football program. We had a great following with the Zulli-Zapoticky-Mussina run of quarterbacks...
