3️⃣4️⃣ Days Until Penn State Football

Dr. Justin S. Williams spent yesterday with Sue Paterno as his book “More Than A Jersey” launched. It chronicles his three seasons playing for the legendary Joe Paterno in the 1990s. In a WR room that consisted of Bobby Engram/Terry Smith/OJ McDuffie/Ricky Sayles, Williams worked his way from “foreign” team to varsity.
Though Williams played little (10 career catches/1 TD), he heeded JoePa’ word about the importance of a Penn State education. Earned three varsity letters. More importantly, he earned his BA & his Masters. Justin went on to get his PhD in education at Hofstra. He is a highly-successful school administrator. His book is getting rave reviews on Amazon.com. Link below ↙️

“Gavin McKenna is the most important recruit in the history of Penn State athletics.” ~ @brokenearbutton July 2025
✅We told you #72 was coming here a month before his announcement.
✅We provided pictures/video here & to his defense team exposing his money-grubbing accuser/forcing prosecutors to drop all meaningful charges.
✅ We told you he would be the top overall pick (@MapleLeafs) in upcoming @NHL draft
✅We never met him
✅That’s what We do
Although WE ARE not sure if we will ever experience a phenomenon like Gavin McKenna in these Nittany Mountains again 🏒🇨🇦🇺🇸🔵⚪️

🏡 Looking for the perfect football house/investment property/retirement abode in the best neighborhood in Happy Valley? For under $230K. Units NEVER open up in THE RAMBLING OAKS. Tree-linked streets. Community pool within walking distance. Quiet/peaceful. Close to everything: town/Beaver/shopping centers/etc.
Real estate link activated this morning. Don’t anticipate it will be around by the time lacrosse starts Sunday. 👇🏽

My drive into the neighborhood/to the house today.

#ThursdayTasteTreat: Kitchen Garden
Had breakfast at the hottest new place in Happy Valley. Again. Reviewed it about a month ago on here (4.5 buttons out of 5). Just as incredible today. Had their meat lovers omelet with a side of their home fries. Their recipes feature homemade Persian delicacies. Meats I never heard of. Mouthwatering. Again. Teas. Iced teas. Coffees. Iced coffees. Stunning decor. Mammoth. Immaculately clean. Incredible lounge area inside the front door where readers can relax on couches/comfy chairs straight out of a 5-star hotel (like the Nittany Lion Inn). Can pop open your laptop or tablet/sip on your perfectly-crafted brew and much on one of their pastries. 🥐
Can’t wait to try it for lunch. 🥙
Met Kayla, one of the owners. Penn Stater. Class of 2023. High honors in computer science. Helping her parents get this place going. Delightful. Her receptionist is on the PSU rugby team. Could double as their bouncer. This is a Nittany Lion operation through & through.
Location is so close to Beaver Stadium/BJC/Pegula. 5 mins from town. Ideal setting for a graduation party/retirement function/business confab/private affair/etc. I’m holding my wedding reception there. All I need is a fiancé. Broken Ear Buttons is holding their 10th anniversary celebration there next year. Look for the date.
Re-Rating: 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵 (The ultra-rare 5 of 5 buttons)
All the details on their location on S Atherton/hours/menu/etc is on their website 👇🏽

Start your miserable work week off with a smile. Here is my call on the last half innings of yesterday’s monumental @PennStateBASE win.
I know I should be announcing future games. Was a broadcast journalist major for a term back in the Bicentennial Year. Till my English 1 grad assistant here said I had the worst writing skills she had ever seen.
Enjoy the clip! #WeAre ⚾️🔵⚪️

State College is nothing but college students & old people. So it’s important to get the right type of bottled water at @SamsClub. 💦
@DeerParkWtr & @brokenearbutton sponsorship deal is likely over 🤷🏻♂️

Happy 42nd birthday Levi Brown! Considered one of @PennStateFball greatest offensive tackles under Joe Paterno, he was the 5th pick overall by the @AZCardinals in 2007. Brown never lived up to expectations and selecting him over running back Adrian Peterson is regarded as one of the biggest draft mistakes the Cardinals ever made. (And they’ve made plenty: see Kyler Murray). He would go on to play just 81 @NFL games. Out of football by 2013 after one tormented season with the @steelers. He was just 29 🎂🔵⚪️

BO KNOWS NEW FOOTBALL COACH?
@ufc middleweight @NoBickal bounced back in a BIG way on Saturday. Then let his haters/doubters know about it. Then gave his choice for new @PennStateFball coach 🥊🔵⚪️💪🏻🏆

COACHING ROULETTE: You must liquidate all your family possessions/assets and bet it on one of these four to be the next PSU head coach. 💰
Or you can also bet THE FIELD (every other coach NOT pictured here).
If you nail it, your family wealth is doubled. If you whiff, you are penniless.
A ) Jeff Brahm, Louisville
B ) Eli Drinkwitz, Missouri
C ) Brian Hartline, OSU OC
D ) Clark Lea, Vandy
E ) The Field

Dirty Half-Dozen Landing Spots for BIG GAME JAMES
1. Arkansas — Ton of oil multi-millionaires got Calipari from Kentucky hoops. They long to be relevant in SEC football. Willing to pour megabucks out like moonshine.
2. Virginia Tech — Failed with one PSU coach (Pry). Try/try again. Lot easier to become relevant in much-weaker ACC. Another school aching to be big-time. Just coughed up beaucoup dollars for our old friend Bo Bassett & his more-talented step brother Melvin Miller to make their wrestling quasi-relevant.
3. Michigan State — Ate a ton of money on disastrous Mel Tucker fiasco. No sorority would be safe with Urban Meyer & him in the same location. Izzo turns 71 soon. Spartan basketball on respirator.
4. Auburn — If you can’t beat him, hire him. Franklin never beat ranked teams but did knock off War Eagles back-to-back. They long to be competitive after Freeze fiasco.
5. FSU — Snapped their 9-game ACC losing streak Saturday. Still will be looking for new coach. Fertile recruiting ground. The glorious Paterno vs Bowden days rekindled with Hartline vs Franklin.
6. Maryland — Franklin was “coach-in-waiting” in College Park. Friedgen’ Orange Bowl year derailed plans. Unfortunately lead to Franklin ending up in Happy Valley. Knows the DMV well. Terps have two of their three career wins vs PSU in history (3-44-1) vs Franklin. Always wanted to be PSU’ rival. Remember the “Handshake Game” Franklin blew to them here?
🐴 DARK HORSES: Florida, Miami, Vandy (when Lea goes elsewhere), University of Scranton Monarchs, Johnson School Of Technology, Rutgers (Schiano: Twice Hired/Twice Fired….best @brokenearbutton ever!)
