More Game Day Eats: The Dago Dog
I love Hot Dogs with anything from just ketchup and mustard, to Chili Dogs, to complex masterpieces. This is a complex masterpiece. When at home watching football I love to make hot dogs. Grilling is generally the preferred method, but lately I discovered the art of skillet frying them in olive oil.

4 Down Territory: Football Fights on in the Face of Covid...& Ultimate PSU Season Continues
1st Down: Pac 12 Contenders: UCLA at #11 Oregon: UCLA pulled up a game and a win over Cal on short notice last Sunday. Oregon has the most balanced offense in the country through two games.

0-4: Football and Life Lessons From The Last Time
With Penn State’s 0-4 start to the 2020 season the inevitable look backwards to the last time Penn State started 0-4 is to be expected. While fans are upset, it's important for people inside the program not to panic. So as a member of that staff I felt it would be a good time to share some insight from that season. Setbacks often spark growth. From that rough season start, I learned a lesson that applies not only to football but to life and leadership. Let me state that these
4 Down Territory: All The Big Games--(At Least Those Still Playing After Covid)
First Down: Covid-19 Takes Down Top 25: No less than 6 Top 25 teams had their games called off this weekend because of Covid-19 issues. #1 Alabama at LSU: Because the LSU-Florida game was moved to December 12th, there does not appear to be any place to reschedule this one……#3 Ohio State at Maryland: After a big road win at Penn State, Maryland’s case numbers increased and they have stopped football activities. A real momentum killer for the Terps' season, but playing Ohio Sta
4-Down Territory: All Hands On Deck--Big College Football Weekend: Get Up Early & Stay Up Late!!!
1st Down: The PAC-12 Is Back--EARLY and LATE: The Pac-12 is back and on day one will start their day in the pre-dawn hours and last late into the evening…..Arizona State at #20 USC: The Trojans need a great season, and it seems they can’t wait. This game kicks off as the Fox Big Noon (EST) game, kicking off at 9 a.m. in LA. Traditionally teams need time to eat, get taped and time for pre-game warm-ups. That means pre-game meals are often 3 ½ hours before kickoff. Do the math
