Dave's dedication to Penn State is comparable to a devoted dog waiting for its owner to come home. His relentless optimism is the fuel that keeps this Nittany Lions engine roaring, even if the results sometimes lag behind.

If the Mets are a rollercoaster, then Dave is the guy who insists on riding it blindfolded—full of optimism and dread, often at the same time. His tweets reflect the highs of hopes and the lows of reality, sprinkled with reference to obscure 90s pop culture.

Whether it's a book review or a casual mention of a John Prine cover, Dave weaves literary insights into his posts like an artist with a paintbrush. Shades of gray, yet his bright enthusiasm shines through, even when discussing the depths of literary sadness.
