That "thing", as you call it, is an aircraft that most military pilots would give their back seat in hell to fly. We all have to start somewhere, and I would guess that I know much more about jets that you..since I spent the better part of 25 years flying them. And by the way, that's me in the front seat....:)

It's probably hard to tell because this is the internet, but it was humor that I wrote. :)I know what kind of plane it is (I am a WWII history buff) and I figured you were a pilot. I am sure you know more than I do about planes, since I know very little. No offense to you.

Air cooled radial (T28) vs water cooled V12 (P51).. My dad flew an F6 Hellcat in the Navy.. WWII warbirds are my favorite planes.

Did security at the Reno air races a few times. It was awesome to watch them. Especially the P-51. Awesome engine tone.

Has Shoop been spotted enrolling his kids at Knox Catholic yet? Or has anyone seen his wife around town with a real estate agent?

Haha. I'm like a kid at Christmas getting that toy that I didn't know why it was cool, but everybody else wanted it so I did too.

I'm ecstatic over this hire!

So is he still in Knoxville or has he gone back to State College?

He went back earlier according to 247. Two things, one Penn St is revisiting his contract and may increase his pay and two, some have said he wanted to tell his players. Players don't report back until tomorrow afternoon, so if true, might be awhile until anyone hears anything.

Looks like Chizik is on line 2, on hold.

I have a hard time thinking Penn State is going to raise his salary two years in a row after 2 identical incidents. Pry is his co defensive coordinator anyway. They could make him the lone coordinator and bring in a Lb coach. This seems like the old "fool me once" scenario. No program, especially the caliber of Penn State, is going to take a liking to being held hostage every off season. No matter how good he is. JMO. I know if we were on the other end of this I'd want him to go. Heart is obviously not there. If it isn't us this year, it's someone else the next.

At this point, in my opinion (which could be entirely wrong) it's either he stays at PSU for the same money or he comes to Knoxville. I think he's going back to meet with players, talk one last time with family and will be our DC in the next few days.

This question got me to thinking so...

Shoop has two sons, one is a freshman walk on at PSU. He graduated from Father Ryan, so the family had stayed behind in Nashville until this past year.

For Tyler Shoop, walking on at Penn State means playing for dad, reuniting his family | PennLive.com

His youngest son is a JR at State College HS and as you say, the oldest is already on the Penn St squad, would Butch offer either kid a scholly? One would think if the parent is making $1 mil a year that wouldn't matter, but to some it matters pride wise as not being a walk on.

So their younger son is in his junior year of high school.

Meanwhile, UT has more than one plane available. Just because one is still on the tarmac doesn't mean that another didn't fly back north.

It wasn't from reading that post. As I said, I went looking in other threads.



His next post replying to a question:



I was out running errands this morning from
9:30 until an hour or so ago and missed the
posts until just now.
