Throwback Thursday.
USC and Penn State have played 11 times.
Only twice have the Trojans made the trip to Happy Valley.
The last time: 1994.
#8 Penn State jumped out to a 35-0 halftime lead and beat #14 USC, 38-14.
The great Keith Jackson was on the call:
“They play on grass here at Beaver Stadium.”
USC returns to Happy Valley on Saturday.
This w/ the Fayak picture is crazy because 1990 is the last time, after 1986
Question for my Penn State peeps:
When was the last time the Nittany Lions surprised you by winning a game you expected they would (or least might) lose?
Certainly, the conspicuous lack of “gritty” victories in seesaw battles these many years have weighed on us all.

Can confirm. Didn't get any sleep last night on Paseo de la Reforma. Apparently no one did. Maybe including the crew of @AmericanAir 1066?

I've only been in Mexico City two days. I only saw one game at @EstadioAzteca. But I'm part Mexican now.
CONGRATULATIONS I JUST GOT THE CONFIRMATION FROM THE HIGH COUNCIL IT’S OFFICIAL YOU’RE ALL MEXICAN FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS ENJOY IT

You *do* see stuff like this during other World Cups. It's the whole point. Learning people are more alike than they imagine, that every country (city, town) has unique, incredible traditions, that it's more fun to fight on a football pitch than a battlefield
You don’t see stuff like this during other World Cups. There’s a whole generation discovering America for the first time right now without the news and the BS and they freaking LOVE it.

American eurosnob soccer fandom is so funny to me, it's just picking one of the five teams that has a chance of winning the UCL and then pretending you have a deep emotional connection to them because you endured the dark days of them only finishing fifth domestically
Amazing, this happened to me at a @ChampionsLeague game at @AS_Monaco and all I got was yelled at in French
Hi, @Charlie_Ing94 👊
Once again, congratulations on @CPFC victory in Kraków!
We’ve been informed that you experienced an issue with your seat at the stadium. Unfortunately, this was due to an error in the seating configuration within our IT system. Well - when the CEO/owner of the club is also a programmer, things like this can happen… 🫣
Now for the good news! Inspired by you, we’ll be creating a brand-new, dedicated seat - refined down to every last detail.
It will be ready on July 11, 2026, for the club’s 120th anniversary match of @WislaKrakowSA against @Wrexham_AFC 🔵⚪️🔴
We warmly invite all fans from the UK to visit @krakow_pl - see you at the stadium! And you, of course, as our special guest, will enjoy the newly prepared seat - with accommodation included!

That's 4:30 AM in Oregon, buddy #COYW
"How does a German decide to be a Buccaneers fan?" wonders a man who woke up at 6:30 am in Illinois to watch Aston Villa lose to Fulham 1-0.

"I’ve always believed that there is no better place on earth for a dog to live than my native Montana, but a Sunday at the Old Course has me reassessing that a bit. Where else could a dog run free and playfully across some of the most famous land on earth? Imagine, just for a second, the look on Fred Ridley’s face if he had to watch a dozen labs and golden retrievers descend on Golden Bell, their owners strolling casually with poop bags on their hips. I think Dude Perfect got a raw deal when you consider what is allowed on Sundays in St. Andrews.
"But 'allowed' also feels like the wrong word, once you really think about it. The Old Course doesn’t belong to a group of people who want to fence it off from the proletariat. It belongs to the town and to Fife and to the people who allow golfers to use it."

If your favorite college football team is different from your favorite college basketball team, nobody respects you.

It's such an easy flight
Cute new places

It's all getting gentrified
For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years.
The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars.
It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city.
That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.
