Men of BSD - Time to STACHE Up
by letsgopsu on Aug 16, 2011 8:40 AM EDT
Email
PrintAthletes and fans are superstitious. They won't shower or shave for fear it will break a streak. They wear the same clothes (hey Not Carlotta!) over and over. Eat the same food. Rub the gnomes belly (seriously, there was a guy in our section who would bring his PSU Gnome to the game and pass it around for everyone to rub. I may do that this year).
We are seeing the start of another great tradition. The STACHE. It worked for Josh Hull. Will it work for Mike Zordich? I think yes.
And you can help. Yes, you men of BSD. Time for your to Stache up. Grow some facial hair. Do it for your team. I promise you will earn the eternal love and devotion of the Divas. Bonus points for a photo
Thank you in advance.

I can't grow a 'stache.
I mean, I am physically capable of growing one, I just can’t because of work. I’d have to go on vacation for a week (which I don’t have the days to do) and come back with it already well-along.
same for me right now
I wish I still had a pic of my fu-manchu, but alas, that phone is now gone with all the pics in it.
I'm on the Internet cause I'm an Internet thug.
quit your job
you can get a new one after fb season is over

REAL men shave their legs
and wear panty hose. Don’t believe me? Talk to some old-time scuba divers who spent a lot of time in cold water. They looked for anything that held heat.
I'd like to have two Armies -- one for display, with lovely guns, tanks, little Soldiers, staffs, distinguished and doddering Generals and dear little regimental officers, who would be deeply concerned over their General's bowel movements or their Colonel's piles; an Army that would be shown for a modest fee on every fairground in the country.
The other would be the REAL ONE, composed entirely of young enthusiasts in camouflage uniforms, who would not be put on display but from whom impossible efforts would be demanded and to whom all sorts of tricks would be taught. That's the Army in which I should like to fight.

hmm
when I was getting SCUBA certified, they showed us the panty-hose trick, but that was to prevent your leg hair from getting torn out by the wetsuits. And if the water is gonna be THAT cold, then they’d probably be using a dry suit, and layering up underneath. Shaving your legs doesn’t typically lead to holding in heat.

Jugger, not sure if your certification was military or not
but please recall the diff btwn military and civilian. Just as with military parachuting, scuba is a means of transportation. The mission may preclude “layering up”, as excess clothes could hamper or even, if abandoned, compromise that mission.
Full disclosure: I was not scuba-qualified — did not care to be, nor was I afforded the opportunity to drown myself. It’s conceivable the scuba guys were taking the piss on us.

it was definitely civilian
I was mostly just trying to say that shaving legs wouldn’t help retain heat (if anything the opposite), and that typically from what I had been told, it was just to help get the wetsuit on over top of leg hair painlessly and faster. The pantyhose would also help retain heat on dry land, but I don’t think it would do anything in that respect under water.

There was a lot of BS flying around the team house
I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to learn I wore my share, esp. as distributed by the scuba and HALO teams. They tended to get more frequent/better assignments than us ruckers.

Lol, the blue band does this for bowl season
Guys aren’t allowed any facial hair besides a well-trimmed mustache in uniform. So in the month between the end of the season and the bowl game, a lot of us would grow out our ’staches for the game. It caught on the last two years, even the girls bought fake mustaches for the Outback Bowl last year.
I guess the girl's from Johnstown/Cambria County just grew their's out....

The other would be the REAL ONE, composed entirely of young enthusiasts in camouflage uniforms, who would not be put on display but from whom impossible efforts would be demanded and to whom all sorts of tricks would be taught. That's the Army in which I should like to fight.

At the earliest ages
It’s about Fun, Safety and Money. Wifey’s into hockey, which has her safety issues re: football very conflicted. Around the corner they can get on skates at age 3 and can play in hockey leagues at age 4. I’ve got a buddy with a 6yo boy into hockey and he claims he spent 18grand on hockey equipment, ice time, travel, lodging & food for his fam (they have a 9yo daughter too) on hockey expenses last year. Obviously has detailed financial data.
I’m of course into wrestling. Gear is much, much cheaper. Headgear is way better than when we were kids, but photo shots of Sanderson’s ears don’t help my case any. And besides, we’re wrestling for free in the living room every night already, so they’ll have a good jump start!

I'm glad my oldest grandson isn't playing youth football
He is a fabulous soccer player and he tried football last fall but it wasn’t for him. He is already talking about trying out for soccer in 7th grade next year. He didn’t get on a fall team this year but is playing basketball and they allow 6th graders to run track now, which he can’t wait to do. The youngest grandson is sooooooo hung up on wrestling its incredible. We will see how that goes this winter when he tries it. I hope they have a 45lb weight class for the 1rst graders.
My grammer skills need improved.
Good man.
If the boys are ever reluctant about the Eternal Wrestling Struggle, just let me know. As soon as you tell me they need my guidance, I’ll spend some time in the Marines to toughen myself. Upon completion of my service, I’ll buy a farm around the AC, hopefully somewhere in the fairly rugged terrain in Menallen Township or maybe Tyrone. Then you can – will – send them up here to train. Only if they give you problems of course.
I can see it now.
Fun: Joe was right when in his book he mentioned that sport is inherently a joyful thing. I will teach this lesson. “Boys, did you have fun at your match today?” “[no response, one looks down]” “I see. Boys, how often do I have to tell you? You will have fun by annihilating your opponent and by burying him in a shallow grave. Now go run three miles in 18 minutes. For every second over 18, I will make you lift one piece of those ‘wood piles’ your Dad told you about.”
Safety: Perhaps the most important part of coaching. What worth is sport if it maims? "Boys, the safest way to wrestle is to render your opponent physically unable to do anything. Now, I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking, ‘Uncle Rambler says “annihilate” because it’s a softer way of saying “kill”.’ And you’re right. The safest way, in all honesty, for you to wrestle is to make your opponent unable to do anything, i.e. dead. Since you questioned me mentally, go get the equipment ready and cut some hay. Let it dry. Rake it. Then bale it. I don’t want to see you again for a couple of days until you’re finished. Watch the vultures overhead; they’ll lead you to food. You can also have a .22, some ammo, and some cans of beans."
Money: Well, this between you and me. Frankly, you can expect your payments to me to be very, very low. Sure, you’ll have to spend some gas money when you drive up to see their matches and to visit them every now and then (I will maintain the hours, you must follow them. This will be harder on the wife, for mothers do not naturally understand the brutal and awful sport that is the Eternal Wrestling Struggle. And I hope they never do. I do not want the beauty, dignity, and intelligence of women forever tarnished by the burdens we destructive wrestling-loving men carry.) but, really, I’m doing this for the love of the Eternal Wrestling Struggle, not for money. Also, I will make ‘em work farms and whatnot to toughen ’em up and earn you some cash. "Son, your Dad’s coming up to visit you boys tomorrow. You must earn this right. Go swim Conewago from the mountain on down to East Berlin. It’s shallow and rocky, but the scars and bruises you will earn will stay with you as a sign of effort and determination."

Remember to read to them from the Bible.
Know why? Because God wrestled. God! Wrestled! And people wonder why I call it the Eternal Wrestling Struggle.
Wrestling is so much more than a collegiate sport. It’s a battle that shapes the destiny of the world. I believe this. I truly believe this. Paterno was right; success is fleeting, excellence is permanent. You must wrestle to really excel.

Also, I will make them read this every night:
My thoughts just before the first real college game of my life: The honor of my race, family & self is at stake. Everyone is expecting me to do big things. I will. My whole body and soul are to be thrown recklessly about the field tomorrow. Every time the ball is snapped, I will be trying to do more than my part. On all defensive plays I must break through the opponents’ line and stop the play in their territory. Beware of mass interference. Fight low, with your eyes open and toward the play. Watch out for crossbacks and reverse end runs. Be on your toes every minute if you expect to make good. Jack [Trice].

I look like a stand in for Top Gun
aviators + mustache = casting call?
Predicting Penn State's Offensive Scripts since 2005!
Better Top Gun
than Tailwind.

I would totally partake in this if my facial hair didn't grow in red
My head hair is light blonde, my eyebrows are very dark brown, almost black, and my beard hair is red. I don’t understand it.

Although I really don't have any idea because I've never grown out my facial hair
I don’t think my beard hair is that bright of a red. I’m not even a ginger since I don’t have any freckles. I’m pasty as hell, but that’s just because my family tree doesn’t deviate from England or Ireland. I swear to god I think my earliest ancestors arose when a potato and a basket of fish and chips had sex.

Does not matter
You are doing it for the team. Zordich would not care what color that stache was, he is just doing this.

I can't believe I'm half-way considering letting a person I don't really know from the internet peer pressure me into facial hair...
I think my boss is going to rescind his offer to possibly promote me to full time at PSU, haha

How old is he, anyway?
Damn, he doesn’t look like a college kid. And he’s pretty hot. Excuse me while I go fan myself.
This is BSD, the crazy stirs itself.

I'm sure he's hugged LJSR like Grown Men do
So you can consider him a man. To hell with Gundy’s stupid 40 rule.
My word
I can’t believe that the current 2nd string fullback is far and away my favorite player.
Look at that guy!
I had heard he might start
I forget who I heard it from though…probably Neuheisel at the Corner Room…
Fire Dan Snyder
Good ole Ricky
He’s gotta be a better blocker than Suhey, right? But no idea (have they thrown to him, ever?) if he has the same soft hands.
We’ll have to ask Paige.
Divide your age in half and then add 7
that is an acceptable age for you.
"Jason, please pass the Kool-Aid, my friend"
Damn, he's too young for me!
But I knew that already.

Scheduled a fairly important meeting tomorrow, so this round of growth ends tomorrow morning.
As a peace offering, I present this.
For what it’s worth, this is the only way I ever intend to remember Anthony Edwards’ acting career.
