One of the best.

Loved watching him as a kid. Class act.

Too bad he tore his ACL early in his NFL career.

Real shame. I used to carry a pillow like a football and dive over the back of my parents’ couch, pretending I was Curt Warner.

re: photo

wow. The ‘80s are unlike anything we’ve ever seen or ever will.

What are you talking about?

The future is so going to look exactly like the 80’s predicted

I'm really looking forward to this

Curt Warner is my alltime favorite PSU player…of all time! Gawd we loved him. And for some reason my bros and I were also Seahawks fans (the helmets? left handed QB Zorn (sounds like Zug)? Steve Largent?), even tho we had never been to the left coast. So went through the roof when after a National Championship, he got drafted by my then-favorite team.

Plus, he rocked a great stache.

I grew up outside of Seattle and Warner was my favorite player

HERSHEL IS A WALKER, WARNER IS A RUNNER

Awesome news.

I have one of those buttons.

Still. Right next to a 48-14 one.

mmmmm

27 year old coca cola

by dawsonPSU10 on Apr 30, 2009 4:36 PM EDT up reply actions

I hear like fine wine

It gets better with age. But I may have just made that up.

by dawsonPSU10 on Apr 30, 2009 4:36 PM EDT up reply actions

If you're really thirsty

I have the 1986 Coke Bottle too.

I wonder if they made a 1969 Lambert Trophy bottle…

I’m planning on opening it and chugging it when we win our next national title.

I’m serious.

It probably won’t hurt you…but it certainly won’t taste great.

Then again, a national title would mean we’d all be so drunk that you’d never taste it.

Penn Staters belong at Penn State. The problem with a lot of kids is they just don’t know they are Penn Staters yet. -jesse. @ BSD

by TheK-GunNeedsReloaded on Apr 30, 2009 4:42 PM EDT up reply actions

I would

but yeah, I’m guessing 27 year old sugary soda probably has some off flavors.

by dawsonPSU10 on Apr 30, 2009 5:23 PM EDT up reply actions

We're also planning that step

Great minds, great minds.

Like Kurtis Blow?

Basketball is my favorite sport
I like the way they dribble up and down the court.
