I can see it now:
"The JMurder.com glory hole"

Bryant Park will never be the same.

A portapottie costs $50. Seriously.

And don't knock Collegiate Cycling as some Trips for Kids Charity. A lot of great pros got their start at the collegiate level, and I guarantee you will be hearing names of a lot of the guys we race against in the ECCC when they hit the pro ranks. We have Ben Haldeman, Bobby Lea, and Mike Friedman from PSU alone recently.

Thanks for hooking us up Erik.

I agree USAC should look to collegiate racing to develop riders.

I certainly wasn't knocking College Cycling. Penn State, Lehigh, and T-town were pretty much all I had in undergraduate.
Penn State wins the national title for fun & enthusiasm/budget ratio.

That is why the some teams from ACCC comes up to do our race every year. I think they are coming up for Bucknell and Lehigh too this year.

Nothing against those guys, we like having them come race up here. But our races and organization are second to none.

Ahh trash talking, I love it! I just wanted to point out that this raffle isn't just about Penn State Cycling. The money raised for this raffle goes to cut our losses that we will most certainly incur despite fundraising during the entire fall while working at football games and picking up 1/3 of Beaver Stadium's trashy sections. The money we raise from this raffle will help us put on an even cooler event next year for the entire collegiate cycling community, and hopefully a little bit of love for the USCF folk out there too. (Don't quote me on that, if there continues to be 80 Women showing up for a Women's B race, then we won't be having USCF events anytime soon).

So keep the trash talking going. Our women's fields would crush your women's fields ACCC (and they're hotter too!)

I love this, college vs. college, talking trash about each other. They ACCC will always be superior, we may not have the most organized races, but we don't need races to go out and ride hard and have fun.
Congrats on having a hotter women's field, that speaks volume's towards the quality of people you have riding. We have class down South and refrain from referring to women in such a manor.
How about you and your "Broke Back Buddies" go beg your rich parents for some more money.

we may race against the ivy league, but we are all public school here
