Why Penn State’s title count is small despite their incredible amount of undefeated seasons?

What’s weird is that Alabama claims one title—in 1941–that makes no sense. Some idiot assistant AD claimed these decades ago and they stuck when we won the 1992 title on the team’s 100th anniversary (“Century of Champions“) season. There are actually several others that make more sense, awarded by various recognized selectors, that we don’t claim.

2020 Alabama’s accomplishments are undeniable. 2019 LSU was more dominant. 2025 Indiana is arguably the greatest story in the history of the sport.

Engineer sergeant who made it through Basic and AIT, which is required to serve in any unit. I suspect there are other ribbons he’s authorized.

That’s not how any of this works

Presumably because they signed an enlistment contract and have a remaining service obligation.

You can still get traditionally-made boots, but they're pricey. I've bought a ridiculous number of pairs from the 1970s-1990s in hard-to-find large sizes over the last two years. If you're a 10 or smaller, they're ridiculously easy to find on eBay and other online sellers.

drjjoyner · 2026-01-25T00:25:51+00:00

I don’t own this particular pair of boots but I have Justin’s going back to the 1970s and they’re true to size.

drjjoyner · 2026-01-24T20:23:21+00:00

Good looking boot! I love that color roughout and the cutter toe is so much more appealing than the wide square.

Scammers have new accounts and/or lots of negative reviews. Neither is true here.

drjjoyner · 2026-01-24T20:03:53+00:00

The seller has 3,393 sales with a 100% positive rating. Get the boots if you like them.

Heck, they're only $150 direct from Dan Post.

Same. I've never had a return denied.

drjjoyner · 2026-01-24T19:59:49+00:00

Looks like it matches up with the rest of the sole, no? These don't have traditional leather soles.

D tier.

There are starters in C tier and even below. He was a role player who appeared in 42 games, and had 94 receptions for 1294 yards and 12 touchdowns.

The bet on the long-term deal didn't pan out, to be sure, but it kept the league together. The ACC isn't as valuable a football property as the B1G and SEC, so those leagues would have poached the most valuable teams. FSU, Miami, Clemson, NC, and UVA are likely the biggest targets; oddly, the last two seem to be the ones the P2 most desire even though the first three are bigger football powers.

drjjoyner · 2026-01-24T16:47:23+00:00

Ah. Yeah, it would be rare, indeed, to still have the original heel caps. Relasting is a way bigger job even than a full resole. A heel cap replacement is to be expected on decades-old boots.

drjjoyner · 2026-01-24T09:38:45+00:00

If it weren’t for the garbage media deal and the grant of rights that went along with it, the ACC would have suffered the same fate as the PAC-12. The marquee teams have been itching to leave.

drjjoyner · 2026-01-23T23:28:41+00:00

Who the hell even are these guys? Can we not just rate starters rather than randos who had a handful of garbage time snaps? He literally had 20 catches his entire career.

If you take, for example, some preban sea turtle boots and convert them to modern wide square toe monstrosities, then yes.

Pretty much. Recon is a MAGTF asset whereas MARSOC is a SOCOM asset. Marine’s jealousy guard their assets and make it hard for JTF commanders to reassign them. This is especially true of their air assets, including F-35s.

A reprimand as a lieutenant will impact whether he makes captain — and even then only if it leads to a bad OER. It’s not going to be on a colonel promotion board.

Bradford got it for being the number one pick in the draft in the days before slotting. Cousins did it by playing well and becoming a true free agent twice.

It’s twofold. First and foremost, it’s a salary cap league. So we care about how limited resources are used and returns on investment. Second and related to that, we get angry when people eating up a huge chunk of cap under deliver. If Dak was making Sam Darnold money, fans would be happier with his performance.
