Slippery Rock

Um, I actually like them to come into, uh, Moneta and win a really close game, 24-21 over the Warriors.

All right, Slippery Rock at Grove City.

We've talked at length this year about Slippery Rock and Aiden Shea and how well he did, but he got hurt last week.

Yeah.

John Petras, the quarterback, got hurt last week.

So we don't know the status of either of them.

Without either of those two guys, they just don't have the weapons to, to keep up with Grove City, and I'm picking the rivals to win 45 to 14.

You know, we, last, uh, just a couple of weeks ago, I covered Slippery Rock Fort LeBoeuf, and Fort LeBoeuf won that game 42 to 13.

So obviously we talked a little bit about your baseball journey just now in the intro, but you know your story better than ours.

So do you want to sort of take our audience through the Matt Adams baseball story? And you can start at Slippery Rock or wherever you want to go and take us to the present day.

Yeah, I grew up in a small little town in central Pennsylvania, a town of about 900 to 1,000 people, so not really known for producing baseball stars.

But funny thing enough is I had a full ride to go to University of Pittsburgh coming out of my senior year and went down there.

I thought it was all my scores and everything was what I needed for the university.

So I think they over-recruited and didn't think that I could play at their level.

So that's how I ended up at Slippery Rock.

My high school coach played there for Jeff Messer at Slippery Rock, so made a phone call.

He's a marine combat veteran.

He's the mayor of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, the kind of man who still thinks duty matters and who understands that Pennsylvania is ground zero for whether this country keeps its nerve or keeps apologizing.

We'll hit the midterms, the numbers, the Fetterman-McCormick dynamic, the visa fraud Vance just called out, and what it actually takes to stop the slow motion surrender.

Mayor Longo, welcome back to The Rob Maness Show.

Uh, I, I think it's an amazing one.

Uh, and we'll talk about, uh, his impact on what's going on with the elections.

We'll be right back with J.D. Longo, Mayor of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania.

He's coming to us from Youngstown, Ohio, where there's gonna be another Trump rally tonight.

[snaps fingers] Wow, Dom, another great bit of insight.

Very much looking forward for the standings to finally be sorted out between Franciscan and Slippery Rock.

Can't wait.

Is that this coming week?

Oh.

No.

I think they're, they're, like, going to Michigan for a game, I think Slippery Rock is.

Gotcha.

That's pretty funny stuff.

But what about Slippery Rock? Are they still around, Joe? What division are they in?

Yeah, they're in a lower division, and I'm not sure what's going on with them this year.

I'll have to check that out and get back with you on the next podcast.

Yeah, I saw a logo.

I saw a logo for Slippery Rock here maybe four or five years ago, and they call it.

They call that school.

Their fans call it The Rock.

Okay

... uh, Pennsylvania, then outside of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, in the country.

Can I tell you how naive I was?

Go for it.

You know, that was my classic rock guy.

And they had this thing called Summer in the Country, right? And I, and I'd never been to it.

And then one year, like, I was either 16 or 17 years old, they had Summer in the Country near Slippery Rock, and I was, whatever, 16 years old, and it was the first time in my life I realized that I lived in the country.

[laughs]

Here's the story again.

In late 2014, I was living in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania with my now ex-husband and two boys.

We lived in a trailer on his uncle's property.

His uncle lived directly across from us about 20 feet, and there were also two other trailers on his property to the right down at the bottom of a hill on the property with woods next to it.

I commented under one of your videos my story about my encounter with an invisible entity.
