3️⃣4️⃣ Days Until Penn State Football

Dr. Justin S. Williams spent yesterday with Sue Paterno as his book “More Than A Jersey” launched. It chronicles his three seasons playing for the legendary Joe Paterno in the 1990s. In a WR room that consisted of Bobby Engram/Terry Smith/OJ McDuffie/Ricky Sayles, Williams worked his way from “foreign” team to varsity.

Though Williams played little (10 career catches/1 TD), he heeded JoePa’ word about the importance of a Penn State education. Earned three varsity letters. More importantly, he earned his BA & his Masters. Justin went on to get his PhD in education at Hofstra. He is a highly-successful school administrator. His book is getting rave reviews on https://t.co/sGqh8sg6P8. Link below ↙️

"I know I committed to Penn State, but my heart...has always been with #Rutgers...I think I made a decision based off a logo at first."

Four-star @AidenGibson32FB on why he committed to @RFootball and head coach @GregSchiano.

“Gavin McKenna is the most important recruit in the history of Penn State athletics.” ~ @brokenearbutton July 2025

✅We told you #72 was coming here a month before his announcement.
✅We provided pictures/video here & to his defense team exposing his money-grubbing accuser/forcing prosecutors to drop all meaningful charges.
✅ We told you he would be the top overall pick (@MapleLeafs) in upcoming @NHL draft
✅We never met him
✅That’s what We do

Although WE ARE not sure if we will ever experience a phenomenon like Gavin McKenna in these Nittany Mountains again 🏒🇨🇦🇺🇸🔵⚪️

🏡 Looking for the perfect football house/investment property/retirement abode in the best neighborhood in Happy Valley? For under $230K. Units NEVER open up in THE RAMBLING OAKS. Tree-linked streets. Community pool within walking distance. Quiet/peaceful. Close to everything: town/Beaver/shopping centers/etc.

Real estate link activated this morning. Don’t anticipate it will be around by the time lacrosse starts Sunday. 👇🏽

My drive into the neighborhood/to the house today.

#ThursdayTasteTreat: Kitchen Garden

Had breakfast at the hottest new place in Happy Valley. Again. Reviewed it about a month ago on here (4.5 buttons out of 5). Just as incredible today. Had their meat lovers omelet with a side of their home fries. Their recipes feature homemade Persian delicacies. Meats I never heard of. Mouthwatering. Again. Teas. Iced teas. Coffees. Iced coffees. Stunning decor. Mammoth. Immaculately clean. Incredible lounge area inside the front door where readers can relax on couches/comfy chairs straight out of a 5-star hotel (like the Nittany Lion Inn). Can pop open your laptop or tablet/sip on your perfectly-crafted brew and much on one of their pastries. 🥐

Can’t wait to try it for lunch. 🥙

Met Kayla, one of the owners. Penn Stater. Class of 2023. High honors in computer science. Helping her parents get this place going. Delightful. Her receptionist is on the PSU rugby team. Could double as their bouncer. This is a Nittany Lion operation through & through.

Location is so close to Beaver Stadium/BJC/Pegula. 5 mins from town. Ideal setting for a graduation party/retirement function/business confab/private affair/etc. I’m holding my wedding reception there. All I need is a fiancé. Broken Ear Buttons is holding their 10th anniversary celebration there next year. Look for the date.

Re-Rating: 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵 (The ultra-rare 5 of 5 buttons)

All the details on their location on S Atherton/hours/menu/etc is on their website 👇🏽

So much better driving home after a win.⚾️

Isn’t it amazing how rural PSU is around Beaver Stadium? 🔵⚪️

[Powers_Of_PSU @powers_of_psu]

Start your miserable work week off with a smile. Here is my call on the last half innings of yesterday’s monumental @PennStateBASE win.

I know I should be announcing future games. Was a broadcast journalist major for a term back in the Bicentennial Year. Till my English 1 grad assistant here said I had the worst writing skills she had ever seen.

Enjoy the clip! #WeAre ⚾️🔵⚪️

State College is nothing but college students & old people. So it’s important to get the right type of bottled water at @SamsClub. 💦

@DeerParkWtr & @brokenearbutton sponsorship deal is likely over 🤷🏻‍♂️

So @PennStateFball is asking fans to matriculate from all corners of the globe on April 25th to watch a PRACTICE. Not a game. PRACTICE. 😡
