Ha! That perfectly describes my first encounters with him 20 or so years ago. I don't even remember the topics, but he won. He won a lot and was a very gracious winner.

RIP Glov. A great member of the PSU boards who will be missed.
Oh man, so sorry to hear that. I only had limited interactions with him, but seemed like a great person. He was always very good to me. RIP Glov. You'll be missed.
Glov was around here for a long time. Always thought I'd meet him for a beer somewhere.....
Sad news indeed.

Ah damn, I kind of had a feeling that’s what the “terrible news” was what with the missing posts the last few weeks.
Funny how even though I’ve never met him in person I still feel like I lost a friend. Got into a few exchanges with him about duke-UNC and pens-flyers but always felt like Penn state was the common ground so I gave him a pass. That’s what this thing of ours does to people. When you disagree with someone on here it’s like saying “he’s an a$$hole, but he’s MY a$$hole”.
RIP Sir. Truly an original that won’t be duplicated.

RIP Glov. Sucks. May he go to a land of no sharks or animals that may attack.
I fondly remember TheGlov,
A poster who was easy to love.
He bled white and blue,
But was a Tarheel fan too,
Now he cheers both from Heaven above.
Hey, it's the best I can do.

Horrible news! Prayers for his family...heaven's gain is our loss.
It’s an odd combination of emotions when we lose one of ours. Godspeed, GLOV. My heartfelt sympathies to your non-virtual family & friends. Will tip one in your honor tomorrow evening.
Sorry to hear this. I always laughed when he’d go off on his UNV love fest because I’d immediately take the Duke side. RIP GLOV.
Damn, sorry to read this. Tgar will raise an Iron City in his honor tonight. Safe Travels Glov, and when you see that bear chasing you damn some back country slope use the bear spray.
RIP and thoughts to all of your family and friends.

Michael Kay the Yankee announcer has a daily show on WFAN and he closes each segment with "life is a series of hellos and goodbyes.....unfortunately its time to say goodbye." It does seem that the hellos are reserved for our youth and the goodbyes come in abundance when you reach my age. Glov will be missed. RIP
Very sad news and a huge loss for us here. Aside from Penn State, Glov and I shared an interest in Liverpool soccer. “Interest” is quite the understatement when talking Glov and his sports teams, though. He was as passionate as they come. I’ll miss his enthusiasm. R.I.P., Glov.

Incredibly shocking and sad. RIP Glove. Was he sick? Not exactly sure of his age, but I don’t think he was very old at all.
Will you send a link of this thread to his son so he can see the appreciation, love and sadness expressed by the family, please?

Godspeed my friend. I will miss your posts. Will tip one, or more, in your memory tonite. I am so sad right now. RIP.
May your RIP. We both were Pen's fans and exchanged many a post on the team. Always enjoyed interacting with him and the dialogue on hockey in
general.
general.
Absolutely, loved talking old Bucco stories with him.. This kind of thing really kicks you in the balls, so damn unexpected.
Did the “GLOV” stand for anything? Acronym?
Yes. Great Love On Villanova.
Which reminded me, he was a gracious loser, didn’t hide, didn’t pout. Too bad UNC couldn’t give him one last championship.
When you are staring at the majestic Teton's in September. Have a beer and toast the mountains in his memory. Gonna miss that guy, feel like I lost a friend this morning.
May he never walk alone. Too bad my last interaction was jabbing him on that...peace out Glov.
he didn't need a UNC title...his boys knocked his hated Dook out of the tournament, and beat his hated CoachK in his last home game. Glov is smiling somewhere...
Disgusted to hear this. RIP, Glov.
YNWA.

Absolutely! Was thinking how much fun his thread would be this morning after MAF had such a great postseason game last night. Any jabs at him would’ve been received with grace and good humor.
Maybe the Pens will, though.
I would like to read his obit. We all knew him as TheGlov, and loved him, but I would like to know more about the man.
RIP Glov. Always loved reading your posts.
Glov was a poster I never met but felt like I knew personally.
I am profoundly saddened to hear of Glov’s passing and will miss his unique mix of absurdity (love for the Tar Heels) and his dedication to respect & civility (calling everyone sir).
But I can now unburden myself with a secret I’ve been keeping for years…TheGlov admitted to me that he actually respected Mike Krzyzewski! I told him I’d never say anything on either board to protect his reputation. Interestingly, he never once said anything positive about Notre Dame, even in private.
RIP my board brother

From one Pittsburgher to another. RIP GLOV
Here’s a quick MAF video in your memory.
I don't want to be melodramatic but reading through this thread I am shedding tears. As many others have said, I never met Glov but I felt like I knew him. Glov grew up in McKees Rocks and I was born there, so we shared that bond. In his posts he was always so full of life, so passionate about his teams. There are many good people on this board and Glov was one of the very best. I will miss him. Rest in Peace, my friend.
