Ten Questions: Steve Shisler (Hall of Honor Recipient!) Without Any Snide Remarks Even

1.  What song immediately brings back memories of PSU?

2.   Who was the biggest team clown during your track years?

.

3.   What was your best PSU Track or XC performance?

4.   What is your best Coach Groves memory?

5.   What was your favorite haunt/watering hole in State College back in the day?

6.   What was your least favorite workout?

7.  What was your favorite classroom at PSU?

8.   What is your most embarrassing moment while attending Penn State?

9.   What exercising do you currently do?

10.  What was the best home football game you attended?

1. Beat it - My dorm room in West Halls faced Fiji. It seemed like the frat played it relentlessly at their Friday night parties when I was trying to rest up for a meet the next day.

2. Probably Pole Vaulter Ken Stauffer.  Rumor has it that he was willing to bite the head off of a small rodent simply on a dare.

3. My double at Penn in '86, anchoring the 4x1500 for an American record and 2nd place finish in 14:58 with Hudson-3:46, Overheim-3:42, Carter-3:47, Shisler-3:42. Coming back a few hours later to defend our 4x800 title with Watson-1:48, Shisler-1:49, Levitre-1:48, Mills-1:48 in 7:16.

4. The Monday practice after we won the Penn 4x800 in '85, Coach wasted no time getting back to work by criticizing Chris Mills for his leg of the relay.  It seems that Coach didn't like the fact that Mills let many time All-American Kevin King get by him on the first lap of their leg. Of course he failed to comment on the fact that Mills out kicked King coming home and widened our lead giving Randy Moore the baton.  I am sure this tongue lashing was going through Chris's mind the following year when he was anchoring at Penn and got the baton with the lead. The rest is history!

5. Which night of the week are you asking about?  Where ever the best special was, of course.  Do they still have the 25 cent draught special on Tuesdays at Zeno's?

6. 2 x 600, at race pace. I'm pretty sure Coach added insult to injury and threw in a few 200's after that as well.

7. Classroom?  What's a classroom?

8. Walking around downtown on a Phi Psi Saturday wearing a wolf head mask. Fortunately know one knew it was me, until now.

9. Couch to fridge for a weight to conduct my 12 oz 1 arm curls.  Repeat 6 times.

10. I was fortunate to be the 1982 Penn State - Nebraska game.  You know, the one where they extended the sideline on a PSU catch to keep the game alive and we won on a last second touchdown.  The Big Red still wine about this one today.  I can't wait for the rivalry to renew annually next year!
