Cari Greene
@NotCarlotta
(Former BSD Handle: NotCarlotta)
The third commitment for Black Shoe Diaries in about two weeks, Cari Greene comes to BSD from the nation's capital and will be helping out with our recruiting coverage, though you can expect to see her in many other capacities. Another recruiting team member? Yes, we're hitting this new coverage hard.
What sets our newest commitment apart isn't the hometown (we've already got at least three writers from Larry Johnson territory) or the school affiliation (Penn State, natch). What sets Cari apart, if you haven't already figured it out, is that she is the first ever* female author at Black Shoe Diaries. We're excited to have her enthusiasm and writing talent on board. Welcome to Black Shoe Diaries, Cari!
Cari, in her own words, after the jump...
Cari is excited to join BSD as its first female member. She lurked for quite some time before joining the BSD community a little over a year ago, and while she thinks it's about damn time that a member of the fairer sex joins the author ranks here, she's thrilled that it's her that gets to crash through that ceiling.
(Cari (in white). January 1983. Downtown State College. The hometown Lions had just played a rather important football game. She was not aware of this. Yet. (PHOTO: BSD/Cari Greene))
A Penn State fan since before birth, Cari is the daughter of two alumni who were students when JoePa began his tenure as head coach. She was "that" kid from pre-K through high school in suburban Maryland, sporting a PSU shirt every day, with an occasionally season-appropriate Starter jacket. She still owns her "Top Ten Reasons Why Penn State IS #1" t-shirt from 1994, and those reasons are still valid to this day. She can't remember the first time she attended a game at the Beav, and was the only one surprised she ended up in State College after high school.
Cari's worst football memory was the Minnesota game in ’99 (she can still feel the tension in the stadium during that field goal her freshman year), and her best was Ohio State in ’05. She somewhat sarcastically blames herself for the dark years, and has become very superstitious during football seasons since as a result.
She graduated from Penn State in ’03 with a degree in film/video, subject material she rarely uses in her current job, working in a non-profit capacity in the DC/Metro area. Where she does use it, however, is kicking ass in trivia in local bars on the weekends.
While not thinking about Penn State football, or her first celebrity crush (Kerry Collins), Cari likes to bake, possibly the only girly thing about her. Her favorite movie of all time is Star Wars, and her favorite book is a toss up between The Godfather and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. She is a self-loathing Redskins fan who literally screamed out loud for joy when they drafted Evan Royster, to the chagrin of everyone at the kids’ birthday party she was attending at the time.
Be sure to become a fan of BSD on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter!
* - Unconfirmed. She's certainly the first female on board since the new regime took over last July.

"We'll take it from here"

they named it San Dee-ah-go. Which of course, in German, means “a whale’s vagina.”

Yeah, she's one-third of the way there.
She just needs to get pregnant and barefoot — not necessarily in that order.

Reminds me of a guy I worked with
After a conversation, I said to him, “So, you want your wife to be in the kitchen, barefoot, and pregnant.”
His reply, “Na, she can have shoes.”
Hope he was not serious.
I wasn’t — promise!

Time for the dirt to come out
I’m pretty sure this chick showed up at one of my tailgates last year, completely sauced. Brought some friends, man talk about party. We was hitting it. I think she was passing out some laced cupcakes or whatever. Wow, what a time. I aint saying anything else happened but my wife and I remember nothing about it!!
I do believe my wife told notcarlotta that I make stuff up.

I’m pretty sure this chick showed up at one of my tailgates last year, completely sauced.
Wasn’t sure until I got to the “completely sauced” part, but yes, that was her. I’d rather get a laced cupcake than none at all, which is all that I’ve received regardless of several promises otherwise.

Also, barring Scandal 2.0...
I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised in February 2013, at least as it pertains to those three players. Of course, I’m saying that 3 weeks after the previous Signing Day. But still…

Have the rules changed
or isn’t it true that real, actual offers can’t go out until August?
GO IOWA AWESOME
August 1.
Or as it’s known at Alabama – “Haha, I was just kidding about that” Day.

It's why PSU's football success is so important.
I need to know on any given weekend I have a chance at seeing 1 football team win. Odds are never in favor that the Redskins have a chance.
It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air - there's the rub, the task.

I'm surprised one of the OSU blogs didn't swoop in at the eleventh hour to claim her.

I don't want to know if she has tattoos --
that would be the last straw.

SUPER ADDITION
just by her bio alone she’s someone we’d all like to hang out with.
my memory of ‘99 game, wasn’t there for it, was at a bowling tourney for the PSU bowling club in Lancaster, PA. We were all watching the game on the small 19 inch tv the alley had (taking turns to bowl then coming back to watch), and we couldn’t believe what we had seen. That year was our year – SI cover, Lavar runnin wild (running wild all over the sorostitutes in cooper hall), big Miami win. We had won our bowling matches but we were sullen and arriving back to campus the next day everything was quiet up there, everyone was dejected
losing the next two games was moot at that point but did show that perhaps that team didn’t really have what it took, unlike the 86 team or even 94 team. Heck, cept for 1 play, i’ll throw ’05 in there too.
As for ’05, all i remember is the freezing cold yet warmth in my heart as troy smith did a pirouet (spelling meaning flippy thing) :-)
Congrats and I look forward to your posts.
I always have appreciated your comments. But I must say, it will take me some time to get used to your new byline a/k/a “your name”. Just don’t change the avatar.

FRANCIS: Yeah. I think Judith’s point of view is very valid, Reg, provided the Movement never forgets that it is the inalienable right of every man—
STAN: Or woman.
FRANCIS: Or woman… to rid himself—
STAN: Or herself.
FRANCIS: Or herself.
REG: Agreed.
FRANCIS: Thank you, brother.
STAN: Or sister.
FRANCIS: Or sister. Where was I?
REG: I think you’d finished.
FRANCIS: Oh. Right.
REG: Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man—
STAN: Or woman.
REG: Why don’t you shut up about women, Stan. You’re putting us off.
STAN: Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.
FRANCIS: Why are you always on about women, Stan?
STAN: I want to be one.
REG: What?
STAN: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me ‘Loretta’.
REG: What?!
LORETTA: It’s my right as a man.
JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
LORETTA: I want to have babies.
REG: You want to have babies?!
LORETTA: It’s every man’s right to have babies if he wants them.
REG: But… you can’t have babies.
LORETTA: Don’t you oppress me.
REG: I’m not oppressing you, Stan. You haven’t got a womb! Where’s the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
LORETTA: (crying)
JUDITH: Here! I— I’ve got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can’t actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody’s fault, not even the Romans’, but that he can have the right to have babies.
FRANCIS: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
REG: What’s the point?
FRANCIS: What?
REG: What’s the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can’t have babies?!
FRANCIS: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality. (Sound of trumpets followed by clap clap clap)
