It is good to see that at least 2 home games will be on PL TV. Will the students be around on those dates?

Speaking of January, does anybody remember the Jan Plan that ran about 4-5 weeks from the first week in January to the first week in February? That was a great time to be in Lewisburg. I remember going to one noncredit "class" a few days a week, seeing lots of hoops, working out, doing some sledding on the golf course, and drinking a little bit too much at times. Overall, it was a great experience.

My Freshman-year Jan Plan formally was Portuguese language. It was just a month but eventually did work in Brazil. I keep the newest edition of that textbook on my bookshelf. I built sets for Cap and Dagger that year and the year after. I was a stats guy for hoops, too, in the Flannery-Berry-Leslie era, and wrote a few ledes for Brad Tufts. I also did a lot of phone time, raising money for the Annual Fund. That was how I hustled dinner often.

I did COBOL computer programming language, which now is more of a dead language than Sanskrit. But mostly I enjoyed friends and drank beer. (And worked in the "Bison".)

Looking at released schedules of other PL schools, it appears they ripped up the master schedule and totally redid it. Nothing at all shows up on the PL site - even though the 2018-19 schedule had previously been available for the past year.

I took that same class my senior year. We tore down the engine of a professor's old car. We didn't manage to put it back together before the end of break. I think some poor grad student had to finish re-assembling it.
The track team always ran the concession stand at games to raise money for a spring break trip. We'd watch the game from the north end line.
We played Risk a couple nights a week and the first one out had to make the pizza run to LaCasa, aka Za's.

Whats a jan plan? Seriously, as a manager of the mens team, it only meant that I didn't have 8 am engineering classes for 4-5 weeks. It also meant some extra shooting periods for several players. In those days we were the key keepers and equipment managers too. But I wouldn't have changed it. my 5 years (and 2 degrees) on the 400 acres set apart were some of the best in my life, especially my part of the Mens BB program.

Did you manage the team during your grad year too?

Yes. and it was a 5th year for 2 Bachelors Degrees not a grad year. And my name can be used as a Bucknell Bar Room Trivia as I am one of only three people I know of granted (no pun intended) 5 Varsity letters in 1 sport at Bucknell.
Of course that was in the pre-scholarship era and redshirting etc. I do not know if receiving Varsity letters is a thing anymore.

There are very few athletes who have received five letters, less than at other PL schools, because the administration makes it very difficult to get a 5th year when a player has missed a year due to injury. Stephen Tyree is one name who comes to mind who got five.
Another who may end up with 5 is All-American punter Alex Pechin. He only played two games his soph year due to a torn hamstring - but was awarded a letter due to his exceptional kicking. As as a 5-year engineer, he has an open path to a 5th letter.

You sure it's not 4 people? Or am I one of the three? Cuz I did too...
