Oh, Hello: Jared Slanina and Keith Platt Commit to Black Shoe Diaries

No, it's not a five-star tight end from Pennsylvania, but Black Shoe Diaries did just land the commitments of four-star Jared Slanina (loses a star for being from Ohio) and four-star Keith Platt (same, but New Jersey). Welcome to the BSD family, Jared and Keith!
Their individual introductions after the jump...
Jared Slanina
@ForeverJVP
Former BSD handle: "whiteout1"
We are very pleased to introduce our newest member to the Black Shoe Diaries staff, lucky number thirteen, Jared Slanina. Jared will be working as a recruiting analyst and will play a major role in our efforts to increase the recruiting coverage we provide to our valued readers.
Jared will provide some much-needed MACtion to BSD, as he has a master's degree in journalism from Kent State. He lives in Stow, Ohio and is employed as a public relations specialist. Besides Penn State football, he enjoys reading nonfiction, spending time outdoors, enjoying dinner and a few beers with friends and family, and being with his pets—Pillsbury, an American Bulldog/Pug mix and Tamba (named after you know who), a dog trapped in a cat’s body. Jared is a self-proclaimed "Simpsons geek," which will make him a great fit with the BSD staff.
Jared quickly picked up his father’s passion for the game of football, especially his two favorite teams, Penn State and the Cleveland Browns. Fortunately for us, his dad’s admiration of Joseph Vincent Paterno likely saved Jared from being a Buckeyes fan. Jared grew up in Warren, Ohio, a football-crazed, blue-collar rustbelt town straight out of Friday Night Lights. He played football at Howland High School, also attended by former Penn State safety Tony Davis and incoming freshman Anthony Stanko. He grew up in the same area as other notable players such as Daryll Clark, Brandon Beachum and Michael Zordich. His football career was cut short after a serious knee injury.
Jared made his first trip to Beaver Stadium for the 1997 Ohio State game, which Penn State won 31-27 in thrilling fashion with the help of the monster ground game of Curtis Enis and Aaron Harris. This experience of being surrounded by 100,000-plus propelled his Penn State fandom into a completely new level. He has traveled to Penn State for several games each year and is glued to the television every Saturday of the season. Jared has made a habit out of somehow being present at Beaver Stadium for milestone moments, including LJ reaching 2,000 yards against Michigan State, JoePa’s 400th and 409th victories, the Big Ten championship-clinching game against Sparty in 2008, and his personal favorite, the 2005 "whiteout" game against Ohio State.
Welcome to the chaos, Jared.
Keith Platt
@kmplattesq
Former BSD handle: "kmplatt"
We would also like to welcome Keith Platt to our staff as one of our new recruiting analysts/reporters. Keith’s duties, primarily, will be to focus on players that Coach O’Brien and the rest of PSU’s coaching staff are recruiting. We’re very excited to have Keith as part of our team and would like to take this opportunity to tell you a little more about him.
Keith is originally from Philadelphia and is a graduate of Stockton College and Widener University Law School. He currently resides in New Jersey and where he practices civil litigation. Although, he did not attend Penn State, Keith is an avid Nittany Lion Football fan and has been since the Lions won their first National Championship under Joe Paterno. Well versed in what "Success With Honor" means to Penn State, his analysis will be focused both on the athletic and academic prowess of those who may have the honor of wearing the Blue and White.
Keith has been a member of our BSD community since November, 2011 and has provided great insight into "It." Keith has also provided thoughtful commentary on the coaching search and the resumes of those who were rumored to be candidates. Lastly, his open letter to Coach O’Brien was well written and very respectful. Based upon his past submissions to our forums, we know that Keith will be a valuable member to our team.
Please join us in welcoming both Jared and Keith to our team.
Be sure to become a fan of BSD on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter!

Now there you go
referencing Jonestown again
Whittle your whiskey around like blazes, t'underin' Jaysus, do ye think I'm dead?
Speaking of Jonestown
I just watched a very interesting show on H2 highlighting some famous cults and cult leaders. It was pretty informative and very eye opening. Its amazing how someone who started out with such great intentions and really a pretty good organization could degenerate so quickly by the wave of paranoia. It actually made me want to learn a little more about the rise and fall of the leader/cult. But that requires more work than watching a two hour tv show, so I haven’t yet.
Whittle your whiskey around like blazes, t'underin' Jaysus, do ye think I'm dead?
Not saying it's ok or not
I’m not making a judgement either way. Just making the point that the full quote was not directed at anybody in particular.
For those who, for some reason, still feel the need to villify a man who has passed, a man who has done more for society than you could ever hope to accomplish, might I suggest that you dine this evening on the business end of a Glock 9mm.

I'm just shocked to learn the Browns actually have fans.
By the way, as a Texans fan, I’m 100% aware that this is a textbook case of the “pot calling the kettle black.”
"Every time you go to that cook-off you get drunk as a poet on payday!"
What are these Browns and Texans you speak of?
Whittle your whiskey around like blazes, t'underin' Jaysus, do ye think I'm dead?
Teams rumored to exist but not confirmed
as they exist in a mysterious land even the most intrepidsports journalists dare not explore (the part of America not located on the East Coast).

It's the Macau of our Cathay.
"Every time you go to that cook-off you get drunk as a poet on payday!"
Yeah
In Holmgren we trust, at least for the time being. I still believe if the Browns had a couple reliable receivers other than Jordan Norwood, they would have made a very strong push for the playoffs this past year. Greg Little may have set records in drops, but he was a far, far cry from alone.
GO IOWA AWESOME
Stop.
There are many things where it’s reasonable to be optimistic. The Browns, though?
"We gon' get down. We gon' do the do. I'm going to hit these mother****ers" - Dock Ellis, May 1, 1974.
If I had a dollar for every time a third down conversion failed due to a bad drop, and no other reason this past year
I would have collected about 3-5 dollars per game. Statistically, the difference in first downs and TOP alone would have led to 4 or 5 more wins.
That being said, you do have a point.

For the last time
I will address the concerns raised by those who have problems with things I have written in the past, regarding the passing of Coach Paterno and the scapegoating of same that preceeded it.
Sometimes, in life, when we see people that we care about being attacked in a manner we determine to be unfair, we lash out without thinking. In the digital age, where words can be transmitted in nanoseconds, such an inclination is particularly dangerous, because those words are there forever. That said, M1EK deliberately takes the quotes out of context and I thank my fellow travelers on this road for pointing that out for me.
To be clear, I do not advocate anyone killing themselves. It was a stupid thing for me to write, whether I was angry or not. While I did not direct it toward anyone in particular, I will admit that the awful things that M1EK has written over the past few months accumulated to the point that, when he continued to pile on Coach after Coach had passed, I lost my sense of self-control and wrote what I wrote. I have regretted it ever since I hit send. This is evidenced by reading a subsequent posting of mine, where I wrote that I am embarrassed by some of the things that I have written in the aftermath of Coach Paterno’s passing. Nevertheless, since M1EK will, apparently, not be satisfied until I specifically apologize to him, then so be it…
M1EK, I apologize to you and to everyone else for writing “I invite you to dine on a Glock 9mm tonight.”
There it is. M1EK, now you can brag to your friends (inflatable and otherwise) that you made me apologize online for something I already said I was embarrassed by. Good win by you.
To all of the other travelers on the site, as a new staff member, I will be transitioning my focus to the football team and to potential recruits. As such, I won’t be commenting as much on other stuff. However, I look forward to reading your comments on the analysis I provide on the players I profile and news I bring you.

Speaking of apologies, you haven't lived until you've seen his sports blog
Its apparently a sports blog, if by sports you mean “‘BSD is homer central!’, ‘Shut up apologists!’, and ’I’m still banned over at homer central!’” and blog as in
The previous pantload at this blog you might have heard of banned me for being insufficiently homer (well, actually, for fighting back against the homers – preventing me from using the same tactics and language the homers were allowed to use against me). More on that someday in the future. Trust me, you won’t care, but I’ll tell you anyways! The new pantloads in charge may or may not feel differently, but the homer kool-aid drone culture that’s sprung up there over the years makes it unlikely anything will change.But there isn’t any mention of reinstatement, or apologies for the strongly worded statements contained therein.

There are some places that will let you bring your own
You buy a keg, a few boxes of wine and four staple handles. You’ll survive.
...may we compete with fierce intensity, with the gifts that we have been given...
my sister's wedding was a church hall
we brought it all in and hired a bartender.
There were also many kegs of Yuengling.
Bent But Not Broken
I was at a redneck version of an open bar for a wedding once.
The reception was at a banquet hall, and a local beer distributor took care of the bar. The open bar consisted of 1 handle of vodka, 1 handle of whiskey. There were also 2 kegs. When either of the kegs kicked, they’d run and get new ones, but as far as the liquor went, when the 2 handles were empty, it was out.
Fortunately, instead of centerpieces, the bride & groom decided to use liquor bottles. Before they could even do the centerpiece winner announcement, most of the bottles had been consumed.

It worked surprisingly well, but it was all by accident.
The couple had no idea they would only be getting 2 handles from the distributor. They also had a pig roast instead of a caterer, and unfortunately they ran out of pig after only 70% of the guests had eaten. Pizzas were ordered. This is why I consider it a redneck wedding, not really for the alcohol situation.

But that isn’t going to stop me from at least considering an all-beer open bar, with a handle on each table. That’s 40 shots per 8-person table, right? Should be plenty.

I think we can agree though
All breakfast meats have their pros and cons. Bacon is by far the most delicioius of the breafast meats. Unfortunately, you usually need to eat about a pound of it to feel full at all.
Sausage is the second most delicious; however, what it lacks in taste (compared to bacon) it makes up for by being filling. For this reason I will often choose a sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwhich over a bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwhich, especially when I don’t know the establishments predisposition towards amount of bacon to place on a breakfast sandwhich.
Scrapple comes in a block. That in of itself deserves a point. It also taste very similar to sausage. Also, you know that you aren’t wasting anything when you eat scrapple.
Whittle your whiskey around like blazes, t'underin' Jaysus, do ye think I'm dead?
I enjoy your positions
And wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
But your right about bacon, the one thing I hate is when you get a breakfast sandwich and the bacon is rubbery not crispy, that annoys me.
The one thing that I love about sausage is that you can get differeny kinds of it and filled with differnt things. Once went to an Eagles game and hit the reading terminal market first and got provolone stuffed sausage. Little bits of provolone cheese in the pork sausage. Thought I was going to die happy right there. .

Also saw chicken fried bacon. I almost passed out from extasy just watching. Woke up an hour later covered in pork grease, roommates never talked about it after that. Just kept saying….wasn’t right, just wasn’t right.

When I was in law school
There was a guy a block or so away that would give you a free hot dog if you asked, sometimes he even offered it. They changed the zoning and put the guy out of business. His business plan was sell hot dogs to college kids with money, and give trash hot dogs to kids that didn’t. Then sell them a Coke.
And they zoned him out of business. They told him you can’t sell f@#king hot dogs on this street corner anymore. WTF? He’d been on that corner probably 15 years. He sold Christmas trees in the winter.
There are things about this country that I hate. And the way it treats people who hustle to make their own way in the world is one of them. The University of Pittsburgh took away an honest mans livelihood to pad their endowment that’s still bigger than Penn State’s.
Whatever. Sermon over.
...may we compete with fierce intensity, with the gifts that we have been given...
It's funny.
Because the same people that put those hard workers out of business to pad their wallets are the same people who cry socialism and class warfare every time the government tries to help the poor. They say there’s nothing stopping everyone from working hard to make their own money to afford things like healthcare, and then when someone tries to do just that they squash ’em.
There's a joint in Austin that deep fries bacon-wrapped hot dogs.
Page down this menu and find the Tavern Dog.
It is delicious.

There is no point in deep frying bacon.
There is so much fat in it already, it literally fries itself. Microwave, skillet, oven, doesn’t matter. It’s part of the beauty of bacon. Unless you bread it. Then your crazy.
Also, I made pork fried rice the other day with bacon drippings. It was tasty.

Bacon flavored bourbon?
My roommate made some for a friend a few years ago. Cook some bacon and pour the drippings into a bottle of whiskey, let sit for anywhere from half a day to a week. When you’re ready to serve, let chill in the fridge or freezer overnight for the fat to congeal, then strain.
The technique is called fat-washing. You can adjust the amount of bacon fat (as little as 1 oz) and the time it sits to satisfy how much bacon flavor you want in the bourbon. If you’re going for a heavy bacon flavor you should use a cheaper spirit, since the nuances will be overpowered anyway.

2 birds - 1 stone.
Besides, it also makes life much more efficient. Combining bacon & bourbon into 1 frees up a hand for other things, such as an additional beer or scrapple.

My blog will be about nothing else than what happens on this blog. First weeks content to include;
A seven part series called Mike versus Chris, discuss;
A historical retrospective on on the M1EK Wars of the summer of 1998;
I’ll have guest commentary from Fugi, telling me how a real journalist would address the issue;

I'm honestly curious as to what would've happened if Devlin had taken over after Morelli.
I appreciate what Clark did for us, and would never trade it for anything. It’s just fun to think about.
Does Devlin beat Iowa in 2008? For that matter, does he beat OSU? He looked capable while he was in that game. Wisconsin? Clark had a career night in Madison, and it’s doubtful Devlin would have ran for two TDs.

It depends what point in the cycle you are at.
It starts as Bacon, Scrapple, Delicious.
It then progresses to Bacon, Scrapple, Deep fried.
From there we reach Bacon, Scrapple, Defibrillator/Diabeetus (depending on your body type).
Finally, Bacon, Scrapple, Death.

I don't get too into it.
I’m more from the David Foster Wallace school of thinking:
Irony’s useful for debunking illusions, but most of the illusion-debunking in the U.S. has now been done and redone. Once everybody knows that equality of opportunity is bunk and Mike Brady’s bunk and Just Say No is bunk, now what do we do? All we seem to want to do is keep ridiculing the stuff. Postmodern irony and cynicism’s become an end in itself, a measure of hip sophistication and literary savvy. Few artists dare to try to talk about ways of working toward redeeming what’s wrong, because they’ll look sentimental and naive to all the weary ironists. Irony’s gone from liberating to enslaving. There’s some great essay somewhere that has a line about irony being the song of the prisoner who’s come to love his cage.
…
The problem is that, however misprised it’s been, what’s been passed down from the postmodern heyday is sarcasm, cynicism, a manic ennui, suspicion of all authority, suspicion of all constraints on conduct, and a terrible penchant for ironic diagnosis of unpleasantness instead of an ambition not just to diagnose and ridicule but to redeem. You’ve got to understand that this stuff has permeated the culture. It’s become our language; we’re so in it we don’t even see that it’s one perspective, one among many possible ways of seeing. Postmodern irony’s become our environment.
"We gon' get down. We gon' do the do. I'm going to hit these mother****ers" - Dock Ellis, May 1, 1974.
Of course Anthony Giddens says
that there is no postmodern condition. Instead we are inhabiting a runaway form of late modernity.
"I think what the university did to him was grossly wrong" -- Mike Ditka
Then what does that make
post-postmodernism? Just regular post-modernism or a prodigal son form of very late modernity?
"We gon' get down. We gon' do the do. I'm going to hit these mother****ers" - Dock Ellis, May 1, 1974.
It's all passé now.

I don't think...
he ever said that. I thought he found Paterno to have made an immoral decision with respect to how he handled what MM told him.

I wasn't trying to say he represented Paterno is the Devil.
I was just making the case that we’ve basically seen every opinion stated in this war, including people from outside the community chiming in.
Honestly, I don’t really know M1EK’s opinion and I’m not going to try and speak for him. I don’t really understand the point of some of his posts, but for the most part I agree with your summation of his position.

No, I definitely see how it could've been taken that way.
Thanks for pointing it out so I could clarify it.

The Aries hotdog hate got a little out of hand. I expect an apology to Oscar Meyer soon.

Yeah
I’ve figured out I lose more than I win in the comments section.

I.E. it's going to be a long ride back to TO$U after that performance
Especially in that

I've always
wanted to try driving that thing
Quote from London via Bennet/ESPN's B1G blog
“We’re going to run a pro-style offense and a really attacking defense.”
Man, I absolutely LOVE the sound of that.
"Every time you go to that cook-off you get drunk as a poet on payday!"
Pro-style?
I don’t watch a lot of NFL. Do the pros change QBs after each drive regardless of how they are playing? How many middle managers proofread their handwritten play calls before they are relayed to the field?
A man in my office has the same accent as Janosz Poha.

Also of note
Maryland QB Danny O’Brien is officially transferring out. He’d be a step up from antyhing we have right now, and BO’B has a connection to him through Ralph Friedgen. Wonder if we go after him…

He just tweeted that it was a false rumor.
He’s still a Terp

Just read a tweet from Danny O'Brien refuting the rumor
My bad, yo.

to part of the discussion above…Favorite Breakfast Sandwich?
I have 2 (that I don’t eat anymore, because my doctor told me she’d punch me in the face if I did) that I love:
1) Sausage, Egg and Cheese Croissant from Dunkin Donuts
2) Sausage, Egg and Cheese McGriddle from McDonalds

You have a woman doctor?
I gotta get me one of those. More gentle touch.
Smaller fingers, too.

I’m out, Aries. Gotta get to work early to brief my boss for a meeting with his boss tomorrow morning. He makes changes up until the last second, then is late to the meeting. Sheesh.

Those are only acceptable with some form of deep fried potato.

Theres a convinience store in San Diego
Its right across the street from the Hilton GasLamp. They have everything you could ever want. Hands down the best breafast sandwhich I’ve ever had.
Bacon, egg, and cheese on a crossaint. Every breakfast sandwhich comes with approximately 1/2 pound of bacon. Everytime I’m in San Diego I make at least 1 stop there.
Whittle your whiskey around like blazes, t'underin' Jaysus, do ye think I'm dead?
For breakfast I make some great concoctions
1 – Grilled ham steak, then add cheese on top, then have some fried hasbrowns on top of that, with more cheese on top of that, with eggs and bacon (when I have it)
2 – Mashed potatoes, covered in cheese, bacon bits, sassuage, and a fried egg.

My favorite breakfast concoction that I might have invented but probably not
Is to fry bacon, then use the grease to fry eggs, but add a little flour to soak up all the grease. Place all of the above in a tortilla. Winner.
GO IOWA AWESOME
Mmmm
Sounds good.
I used to make a sandwich where I would cook a small omlet with cheese, then on a toasted bagel add peanut butter, and put the omlet on the bagel and eat.
I am sure alot of you think that is beyond gross, but if you like the ingredients, it is really tasty. Don’t do it much now, since trying to lose weight and all, but was good stuff.

I got home from work, cooked some dinner, and then waded through this thread
And despite already eating, I am seriously considering heading to the supermarket so that I make pancakes, and top them with scrapple, bacon and sausage gravy. Thank you all.
Thank you everyone.
THIS is the BSD that I’ve been sorely missing for months now.
Glad we can help
