Changing Of The Guard

I recently got a note from Will Rottler that he was moving on to other sports at PSU as Jeff Smith will be our new conduit to the team.  Will was a favorite among the Idiot Officers of our group and will be missed.  He helped cement the "Unofficial Official" (or is it Official Unofficial"?) status of our blog and was a dedicated blog reader and contributor.  I can't thank him enough. 

We are looking forward to a similar relationship with Jeff.  I hope the blog doesn't scare him off!  Remember Jeff, the golf is always optional, but highly recommended.  And the mirth is required.

A Birthday Present For Coach Groves

With Coach Groves missing his first Penn Relays in 70 years, many people stood up and brought the Penn Relays to Coach Groves.  Mark Hawkins, Nick K., and Larry Mangan  Clark Haley updated Coach live over the phone during the Sprint Medley Relay Championship of America victory.  And the entire team group of alumni at the reception on Friday night made sure to sign a Program for him which was delivered on Sunday.

Addendum:  I supplied Mark with Coach's phone # prior to the event, so I assumed it was those guys who updated Coach on the shenanigans going on at the track.  (See:  Ass, you, me...)
