Dave does Penn State University Part II

CP Member Bounty13 took some more time off to give 'Dave' a full tour of PSU. Thanks to him again for all the pictures!!! Advanced warning, a lot of pictures in this post...

The Life Sciences Building

Pattee and Paterno Libraries

Rec Hall, used for Volleyball, old basketball building, and home to Joepa's first office as Head Coach back in the 1800's...

The Information Sciences and Technology (IST) building
was added in the last few years.

Thanks to alum Donald P. Bellisario, PSU has
the complete collection of 'JAG' and 'NCIS' Scripts.

The Nittany Lion Inn, THE place to stay (so we are told)
if you ever visit State College.

Old Main

The 'Lion Shrine'... Nice kitty...

Dave Does Penn State University

After a long night recovering from 'jet lag', it was a full day of PSU activities for Dave. Thanks again to CP Member Bounty13 for the pictures.

Pictures, inside and out, of the Bryce Jordan Center. Great seats, but sadly the good guys lost to Illinois.

Apparently Penn State has a football team, who knew.

What is it with College kids camping out, lol.

Photo op with the legend himself, Joe Pa.

Dave Experiences College life

Of course, everyone who joined in the festivities with Dave is over the legal drinking age... After a long night of libations with friends, what could be better than an afternoon basketball game against a Big 10 rival that just lost their 'chief'. Go Lions!! Thanks to CP Member Bounty13 for the pictures.

Personally, not a High Life guy but to each their own...

Dave does State College

Dave has arrived safely back in America and is ready to begin his North American tour on the campus of Penn State University. Thanks to CP member Bounty13 for the pictures.

I would love to know what they thought when
seeing 'Dave' go through the X-Ray...

Dave is heading back to the Colonies

After enjoying his last few weeks in England, Dave is heading back home to those rebellious colonialists in the US. First stop, one of the original 13 Colonies, Pennsylvania (founded by William Penn in 1682, there, my educational lesson of the day), where he will enjoy the college life in State College, home of Penn State University. Maybe he can meet Joe Pa and find out what life was like when Pennsylvania was founded... ;o)

Dave's final England photos

Thanks once again to CP Member KC40ash for the photos. 'Dave' couldn't leave England without photos of the local oceans and seas... 'Dave' at the Pier at Lytham St Annes, near Blackpool, (famous for Open Golf), this is at High tide, at Low tide no sea, for over a mile out.

KC says that where he lives they dont have oceans, just seas. 'Dave' is photographed here in an estuary where we have large High and Low tides. This is part of the Irish Sea.

Dave doesn't do Roller Coasters...

....at least not on windy days. Thanks to CP member KC40ash for entertaining Dave on his second stop in England. Who says England never has nice weather in the winter...

Blackpools Big One Roller Coaster, sadly it was a little
to windy for Dave to get a ride today.

Blackpool's World Famous Tower.. 385 ft high
Bingo anyone?

This is what happens when non-americans watch American Football... they become San Francisco 49'er fans.... Well, considering the dyansty they once had, guess it isn't all that bad ;o)

Can Dave fill Joey's shoes...

Well, we can hope Joey (Harrington if you know me) can get his career righted and achieve the same, if not more, success as Mr. Dave did in his tenure with the league. Thanks again to Scotsman for sharing part of his collection.

Kettering, England
Febuary 7th, 2007

After the Lions traded Joey to the Dolphins last year they had a fire sale on his autographed memorabilia. Worked out nice for those of us who are fans. I find the photo fairly ironic; the organization never gave either QB a chance. They turned to Mitchell over Krieg (how did that work out), while Joey was run out of town for his failure to block, catch, and run as well as play QB. End sermon.

Dave at the Rugby match part II

The good news is Dave has reached his next stop in England. Sadly, due to the snow he encountered his departure was delayed. To help fill the void until new pictures of his adventure are ready we are uploading a few more from his last stop. Thanks again to CP Member Scotsman for sharing the experience!

Assorted shots from the match.

Twickenham, London, England.
February 3rd, 2007

The reason for Dave's departure delay.... Well, maybe a snow ball fight isn't in his best interest, but it is better than putting him in your bicycle spokes as I did my Joe Montana rookies when I was younger.

Kettering, England
Febuary 7th, 2007

Dave is on his way...

to the coast of England. Snow forced him to extend his stay in Kettering, but he should shortly be arriving at his next destination.

6 Nations rugby tournament - Calcutta Cup match

Dave enjoyed a European treat as he went to the 6 Nations Rugby tournament in Twickenham, London, England. 100+ years old tradition with 82,000 in attendance. Scotland lost 42-20, apparently they let the Lions send some players to try out, you can see how well that worked.

Thanks to CP Member Scotsman for the great pictures.
