Booing the home team

remember the players and families of coaches Believe me, I know about having successful seasons with an undefeated record and championship trophies, but I know about the pain of having a winless season. On the positive side, I prefer to remember those undefeated or championship seasons, the bad seasons not as often. I have had four undefeated seasons, and three championship seasons that had at least one loss. However, what is really challenging is remembering that winless season. Which brings me to the Penn State saga in 2015. Every person who buys a ticket has the right to express himself or herself. The way the Penn State team has played the last two games is somewhat pathetic. As a result, people begin booing as a way to express their anger. The coaches who are making six and seven figure salaries this year are fair game for criticism as I mentioned last week about Franklin's salary.

Will Mount Lebanon use "Condoms for Bucks" plan?

...Church upset with plan (Onion)  By G.M. Auto Pseudo Onion Seeing one of its major programs under fire, the Catholic Church has indicated its outrage at Mount Lebanon, a suburban Pittsburgh community that has been trying to reduce its deer population. The community has a problem with deer running into automobiles, driving up the cost of insurance along with major repair bills. So, they are also trying a program that they saw on "Bonanza" back in the day. Here is how it works.
