Alan (Shreveport, LA): Why is Charles Scott listed on a lot Heisman lists and Evan Royster is not? Royster has better numbers, the teams are both undefeated, and up until [...]

I meant to post this Carroll H. Cook (‘54 Pitt) before Saturday’s game, but life happens.

Yesterday, Carroll H. Cook (‘54 Pitt) briefly discussed the alma mater during his weekly chat.

VIENNA, Va. — We had the annual La Coupe Hauxer season-end trophy presentation on Sunday at the Vienna Inn. Brad, representing the NJ Devils, won La Coupe Hauxer for the third consecutive time.

Carroll H. Cook spent about an hour yesterday badmouthing Penn State’s schedule which sadly, is nothing we haven’t done. Occasionally, he answered a question without resorting to that rhetoric.
Joe: Beano, Whats Penn State’s problem? I know you hate them and all, but what needs to happen for them to get out of the second tier [...]

For the second week in a row, Carroll H. Cook (‘54 Pitt) answered no specific questions about my alma mater. In fact, in the one question that included Penn State, he avoided including them in the answer. At least he made a Casablanca reference, but forgot to mention that Julius Epstein, a Penn Stater, [...]
