Dan's Bio

Hey my name's Dan--I'm a student at Penn State and am majoring in Sports Journalism. I love Penn State football, and college football in general; it's by far my favorite sport. I know a lot about College football and basketball, NFL and MLB, consequently those are the only sports I watch. My favorite teams in order are Penn State football, Cleveland Indians, Penn State basketball, Pittsburgh Steelers, and UNC basketball. I'm also real big into HS recruiting for football, and the NFL draft.

Borderline? Hell no, that is sexual harassment. But damn funny.

That clip of the USC player was pretty funny. But is she married? If she is, then it is totally out of line. More so, if she was single.

Hey Dan, welcome to the site. Things are a little slow and I'm been busy these past few days. I just wanted to check in and welcome you to the site. Saw your first article and I hope you'll stick around. The Indians community is a very active one during the regular season, we do a lot of things as a group as well. If you ever have a question or something to share, don't be afraid to hit me up.
