Trying to keep sense of humor during these most unsettled times. May be funniest voicemail I’ve ever received. #restlessinaltoona

Miami of Ohio is a pleasure to watch and I’m rooting for them. Let’s hope jacking up 3s early in the shot clock with an 11-point lead and 2:30 left doesn’t come back to haunt them.

@JonRothstein @MattMichelone Wow. What a leap for Joe Crispin. Much luck to him. Probably means he won’t be playing in the Lakemont Park/Altoona Summer League anymore. Fun while it lasted.

Sources: Air Force will hire Penn State's Joe Crispin as its next head basketball coach.

Anyone who looks at this field and thinks it needs further expanded needs their head examined. 🏀

@CoryGiger @GregPickel @TDsTake @nittanyrich @PSUPoorman Good company. Many worthy.

I vote yes! 😃 Here’s the deal: Best is subjective/what you WANT out of beat writer. For just news, it’s @GregPickel. For some analysis/podcasts, it’s @TDsTake. For historical perspective, it’s @nittanyrich or @NeilRudel or @PSUPoorman. For opinion and no bullshit, probably me.

Penn State is moving to sell the State College Regional Airport to the Centre County Airport Authority. The deal is awaiting federal approval. onwardstate.com/2026/02/27/pen…

@tonygsports Tony: Almost like St. Francis vs. Monmouth in 1991 on Route 22 when you were hanging out of the car to help navigate the blinding snow.

Most I have seen in my 20 years here .. Jackson NJ 29 degrees at 940 AM .. about 8 miles SW of you …

@RedFlashMBB Special players and team that were fun to watch and cover. Filled Stokes Fieldhouse for better part of two seasons. Was SFU’s best stretch since NIT teams of the 1950s.

Special thanks to @NeilRudel for coming out to cover this great event! Make sure you check out this outstanding article!

Just finished watching Soul Power documentary series — so much to be learned from and about the old ABA. Any basketball fan from 1960-70s will appreciate.

@f8jrnlst @DushawnLondon1 @_Dylanmingo @ebosshoops @BJenkins247 @TravisBranham_ @PSACardinals @LuHiBasketball A brush or a brash? 😂

@NeilRudel @DushawnLondon1 @_Dylanmingo @ebosshoops @BJenkins247 @TravisBranham_ @PSACardinals @LuHiBasketball Talk about a brush with greatness

Dylan Mingo, the No. 8 overall prospect in the Class of 2026, will announce his college decision Tuesday, February 17th at 11:40 AM EST on ESPN First Take with Stephen A. Smith. Finalists: Penn State, UNC, Washington and Baylor Story: 247sports.com/college/basket…

@KevinGormanPGH What happened to the days when autographs were for kids?

Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin, baseball’s consensus top prospect, signs autographs for fans at Pirate City.

@colin_dunlap Colin -- master of the fine print. 😀 Should have listed as NA but respect Chicago State transparency.

Tough ticket for the St Francis and Chicago State game. Packing them in.

@masty81 @ForestHillsSD @FH_Rangers @Football_FH @LHAC_sports Great tribute to a giant of District 6, Central PA and PIAA football. Most wins (375) in D6 history. RIP.

@GehlTales @GoHolyCross @HCrossMBB Glad Holy Cross got around to this. Obviously beyond deserving.

The basketball court at Holy Cross is now officially Bob Cousy ‘50 Court ✝️ Incredible work by the entire @GoHolyCross athletic department to honor the 97-year-old legend, 1947 NCAA Champ, and Holy Cross alum who’s called Worcester home for almost 80 years 👏

Since more than a billion will be bet on the Super Bowl, here's a little pre-game coin flip history to get you started. Tails leads, 31-28, and has won won of last three. oddsshark.com/nfl/super-bowl…. I'm going heads (and Seattle -4.5). Have a super weekend.

@RiseAndStine Proud of you, Andy.

Before and after Left photo in September 2024: 484 pounds Today, February 2, 2026: 381 pounds Do the math. That's 103 pounds. A lot of emotions: mostly happiness and relief. Most of all, ready to shock everyone and drop another 97 pounds. Thanks everyone for the support.

@nittanyrich @ReadingEagle Sad to see. After such a promising start to his PSU career, what a nightmare final year.

Exclusive to @ReadingEagle Nick Singleton's father says his son broke his foot Thursday during Senior Bowl practice. readingeagle.com/2026/01/30/for…

@dotsonc Was must-watch TV for sports journalists.

How many of you watched The Sports Reporters? It was a different time, but I loved that show.

Everyone please take a moment to say a prayer for Lou Holtz and his family. Articles came out stating he has entered into hospice care.

Why have a Hall of Fame if a guy with six Super Bowl trophies isn't in it? Embarrassing moment for Canton.
