Ten Questions: Darryl Jones

1.    What song immediately brings back memories of Penn State? –Superfreak by Rick James

2.   Who was the biggest team clown during your track years?  Ron Gulaskey, and it’s not even CLOSE.

3.   What was your best PSU Track or XC performance?  Winning D-Day as a senior with the help of Rob Boulware’s encouragement.

4.   What is your best Coach Groves memory?   Team meeting with a hatchet hidden behind his back, basically saying that a #4 national ranking was making us “cocky”, and he challenged us to place our “manhood” on a desk, which he proceeded to wail on with the business end of the hatchet.  I loved that little room!

5.   What was your favorite haunt/watering hole in State College back in the day?    We NEVER went out-we were varsity athletes!  Mr. C’s on Thursdays, or Café 210 West.      

6.   What was your least favorite workout?   Stadium steps, as in ALL of them, in the fall.  It’s a workout Coach Groves used to make people quit before he cut them in the fall.

7.    Do you get back to State College at all? ( My question to eliminate)

8.   What is your most embarrassing moment while attending Penn State? This happened to a few of us—the good old DUKE jock strap broke during a meet while triple jumping.  Just imagine the discomfort and the SAND.

9.   What exercising do you currently do?  2-3x a week-martial arts.

10.  What was the best home football game you attended?  Any freshman of sophomore game was stupendous; that was when the team was REALLY good.  I was also in the Blue Band at the time.

The Rules for the next bloke (Rob Boulware!) are:  1.  Answer the questions.  2.  Pick a question to eliminate.  3.  Write a new question (pending blog officer approval).  4.  Pick the next victim.
