While teams that are playing in conference championship games this weekend beat each other up at the end of the season, teams like Notre Dame get a free pass/bi-week.

As I was writing something for tomorrow, I found this old TV Guide. I don't have a ton of memorabilia from the 1994 era. I was young, poor, and not well established. I moved frequently; Some folks may not even remember what a TV Guide was - but this is one of the few things that has survived since 1994.

In Part Two of the DSA RoundTable, Drew Davis, Brandon, and I discuss our players of the game and score predictions.

Hey guys! Richie O'Leary here, publisher of Happy Valley Insider aka the Penn State-Rivals site. Just wanted to drop by and post our video from PSU head coach James Franklin's press conference today. I'll try to stop by throughout the week and answer any questions you guys have + I'll drop all our game week links below as well.

Next up today @ Duck Sports Authority, Marty Leap @msj41817 from @PennStateRivals shared some great insights for Saturday's game:

Next up I was thinking a lot about the 2019 team and how agaonzingly close they were to the playoff and sort of looked back at an old Flock talk to guide today's thoughts. And Rumi's 'The Guest House' rummaged through my mind as I did.

Thanks for all the great articles and info today.

Here’s hoping you have a cold one tonight.

Part of the busy week was getting the chance to record this podcast with Nick, Sam, and the special guest this week Erik Dargan. Check it out below:

Lots of good stuff today at Duck Sports Authority. First up is the most recent episode of Flock Talk: The Podcast. As always Drew Davis joined me for a great discussion on Penn State game, plus some recruiting thoughts.

As always, this is available wherever you get your podcasts as well!

Good morning #GoDucks fans. Today I did a quick recap of the historic day yesterday. Sort of a chronological look back. Just an 'extra' thing for Thursday. A different take on the Roundup

The Oregon men's basketball team overcame another halftime deficit to beat USC 68-60, Here is our game recap:

Good morning all,

A little bit of deep dive into the Penn State defense following yesterday's look at the Penn State offense.

I want to take the time to share my appreciation with every one of our members and Brandon.

Yesterday was a really long day, but also a really fun day to cover recruiting. You were all such a great community during the day with patience, respect, understanding, and great communication on the boards. This was one of our best days ever and it made the work so much easier to do and made me really want to grind out through the day. I will be working to get more content for you all and getting some more subscribers once we get back from the Polynesian Bowl and we will have TONS of content from Hawaii.

I am especially grateful to Brandon for spending the day mining the social media aspect as I worked to update signed LOI status in the system and to get whatever tidbits I could about recruits.

I just wanted to make sure I said thank you all for your generosity of spirit and helping to make yesterday such a great day.

When is the last star rating adjustments?

Ducks hunting for another Rivals250 for this year

I had about 20 minutes of time to give to Rian Winter today. Apologies for the lighting, had to do this from my car on the way to pick up the dog:
