Yea I noticed that too, house is real cool and looks like they put a lot of great work into it but those guys do seem like tools. They are not your hard-nosed stereotypical Penn State mountain men, they seem kinda like y pansies.

have we heard of you? - I think these guys are what this is all about, people who love the sport and have immersed themselves into its entirety, and yes their trying to do it with a little flair and character,
why does it have to be only about the Olympic hopefuls, why do runners always have to be bland and wear nasal strips? - why cant they have mustaches? why can't we hear about the guys who are out there just loving their life and running? Do you really think these guys have any regrets? They're lovin their life, stop wasting yours worrying about it.
(Syrnick just ran a regional time in the steeple chase (it wasn't a PR), and Quin was top 7 on the cc team that made nationals this past fall.)

"Don't mean to hate but Penn State's got a rep as a redneck drunk dump and these guys arent helpin, the indoor track was pretty cool though"
since when? Its actually one of the top schools in the big ten... but they could all be red necks... who knows... lets see what urban dictionary calls a red neck: A mentally challenged white male, usually from the South with an IQ of a beaver. They are characterized by: ignorant, intolerant of others, isolated in their own little world, uneducated, marry their own sisters, live in a run down trailer, claim to love america, but carries a confederate flag, vote against their own interest, and politically inept.
synonym: hick, hillbilly, intolerant
antonym: gentleman, worldly, tolerant
ok... nevermind... I agree with Wisco-Pain.

By far the the best track house I have ever seen. Loved the Genny cream ale sign hanging in the room, its good to see teddy still remembers where he came from haha. I also think a stripper pole needs to go on the mondo track stage.
Alum...slum... i see what you did there... pretty clever... thats useful info too, I'm glad you took the time to post that, it was very informing.... Now that i've been warned... how do I find this place?
there happens to be a lot more to people's personalities then what is portrayed on track shacks...for these individuals...that is a not a good thing...
I thought Groves said to never refer to your place as a "track house" so when you get busted (and you will) that the whole team doesn't catch hell from the State College's finest!!
He should have also taught you that Cream Ale will give you killer gas and serious s**ts the next day.
Entertainment Notes: 1. Try to keep Tanner from spitting his dip on the nice track floor. 2. Be sure to have an ample supply of cider and cheese logs for Artie if he visits. 3. Keep an extra key under the welcome mat for Mazzocco!

Really?
Dont be lame. They are having fun and you would do the same. It is great for PSU and their distance team. They are serious and had a solid fall and are getting better.
i likes washington wayyyy better than this one... washington kids seemed more organized and focused but still fun and these guys just seem kinda like party animals lol like borchers doesnt have a real bed? what? lol idk maybe its just bc im so anal retentive.
Something tells me that you guys are already on top of this idea since your recent marketing frenzy with PUMA, but just wanted to make sure you guys were on top of this development. I hope you guys are going to go get a VIP tour of Puma's track shack aka PUMA CITY at the Puma Street Meet in Boston coming up the weekend after the Boston Marathon. http://www.pumarunning.com/puma-city-fresh-and-bold
Looks like a great display of architecture and engineering! I know it would be one cool place for a group of track guys to live that's for sure, all you have to do is put in the beds. Maybe when Puma is done using it as a marketing tool they will sell or give it to a school for their very own track shack. That would be awesome!
Something tells me you guys will most likely be doing a coverage of the Puma Street Meet as well so good luck with that. Hope it will be a success and bring more light to the sport of running.

I know so many track houses that have banners from big races. I bet the NCAA anticipates not getting any of their banners back after a race. That's what they get, though, for making them so sweet.
All athletes around the country have a place that they call home, their place to rest. We wondered how track and field athletes lived outside of the track and field world, so we tried to find out. Come inside of the homes to some of the best runners in the country and see what their track shacks are like. Its always cool to live with your teammates and have a great place to call home....
Enjoy this tour through the Penn State track house with Teddy Quinn, Mike Syrnick, and Sam Borchers. April 8, 2009
