Yeah, there is that also. But oddly enough, that might be the better path for a "deep" playoff run.
Are the Franklin haters aware Penn State had a better regular season than Ohio State or MeCheatAgain?
- Thread starter saturdaysarebetter
- Start date
I’m repeating what’s been stated here. Take that with a grain of salt, but it sounds plausible. Franklin must feel he’s hit the ceiling of what he can do here.
USC and Notre Dame were/ are 2 jobs I felt/ feel like would be attractive to James.
You have to be a moron to think PSU is paying a 60 million dollar parting gift to a coach that is winning 10 or 11 games a year. THEN spending another 70-90 million to bring in a new coach.
I think most felt that way, but the pick means they didn't just run the ball. OSU DB made a better play on the ball than Wallace. Second guessing calls after the fact is always easy to do, but I'm talking more about the overall health of the program when it comes to the woe is me crowd (not you). Every fan or coach ever second guesses the failed calls....that is just a part of the deal.

I don't care who gets the TD. But my issue with the infamous Ohio State goal line series is this. ...if you are 1st and goal....the time to throw is play action on first down. Worst case scenario is you have 3 downs to get less than 10 yards.
Maybe, but not my call. My greatest experience at a play was seeing Macbeth played in American Sign Language. Damn, that was greatness.
Out out brief candle. Life is but a walking shadow....a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more. Tis a tale told by an idiot' full of sound and fury signifying nothing .
Agreed but at that point the buyout drops to mid-20s so if Franklin hasn't been in a championship game by then =
Kraft.
Gotta tell you, I saw that ASL Macbeth on tape and only got to see to see a short clip of exactly these lines. One of the greatest 60 seconds of my life.
Kraft and Franklin are very tight. I wouldn't dispute a lot can happen by 2028. What you aren't factoring in, it seems to me, is the extension Franklin will get after this year. Now he may not get dollar for dollar on the buyout....but it will be an additional expense.Agreed but at that point the buyout drops to mid-20s so if Franklin hasn't been in a championship game by then =
It is after all akin to a chess game. Plays are inserted into the game plan with respect to down, distant and field position. Then the expected defensive alignment is factored in. The casual fan gets moist between the legs witnessing creativity on offense. Little thought is given to the possibility that the DC has broken character and the best laid plans are blown up. People here sometimes act like 130+ other programs exist only to play the foil to PSU Football..
Not responding to you, but your reference to "some"... what would the standings look like if every top 15 team had won the games they were favored to win? That's something fanboys can't seem to grasp. So who is the better husband? The one who goes to work every single day, comes home to his family every evening and is the very definition of dependable. Or the guy that slimes around but takes his wife on a cruise and buys her diamonds?
Yeah, but for him, they were just doodles by contemporaries. Plato is the one who told him to ram it real hard up the middle, over and over again.
Where has this been stated?
You've also been on record as stating ...
And just crapping all over him.
What happens in your life if PSU beats OSU earlier this year? Do the beatings finally stop? What happens if PSU runs the table the rest of the way? Do you finally get a cookie? What happens if PSU never loses another game, as long as you live? Will you finally feel like a special boy, for being a fan of the bestest?
I get your point, and your metaphor, and agree that consistency MATTERS and winning games where you're favored COUNTS. Rather than husbands, we could use multiple football examples of good teams who lost games they shouldn't have this season.
Didn't OSU just lose to a really lame Michigan team? Didn't Alabama lose to Vanderbilt? Notre Dame to Northern Illinois? Miami to GT and Syracuse? Clemson to Louisville? It's reasonable to expect an OCCASIONAL win over a favored team, but no doubt we would piss and moan if Penn State lost to WVU or Minnesota this year. I know because I've watched Penn State football for decades and it's happened dozens of times and the fanbase is always nauseated by it.
None of those losses this year! #3 ranking! BigTen Champ game! Playoffs! Multiple chances for a big win! Home game in playoffs! Be happy, you a-holes.
Oh, my premise here is that Franklin chooses to exit. Let’s be clear. His path out is a good season and another program making him an offer north of his PSU deal.
PSU has no real option to move on nor could they after this season. The money is too big.
So you won’t answer. Got it.
You just appear to want to crap all over him in any way possible.
You apparently don’t know WSL’s identity and his connections to the program.
Keep jabbering…. It’s rather entertaining.

Yet "WE" deserve better! Anything short of the NC will fuel the offseason for the small segment of misanthropes.
WUT: 3rd in the nation and playing for a bye/BT title and the dud title who doesn't understand HOA's is struggling to hang on to his Fire Coach BS? Go Blue hens!!! The Dicker never fails. Now it's just down to one team again....the other 11 games don't count. Moving those goalposts each year.

So psu is in the big ten championship game, but this thread is up to 4 pages. Earlier this week you also had posters focused on Matt Rhule and the handshake issue with Nebraska. I don’t know who these “haters” are, but they appear to be living rent free in the heads of more than a few posters.
Wut, weirdo? WestSideLion made a comment, and then said he was just reiterating what has been said HERE ... on the board. I asked him to find where that's been said, and he came up with absolutely nothing. Now you're arguing on his behalf that he has connections to the program?! LOL. Get your stories straight and get back to me, cuckoobird.
Yeah top10 teams are pretty good and hard to beat, even if you're also a top10 team which Penn State generally isn't. And we're not a top10 NIL program from what I've read, so set your expectations appropriately for the future or write a big BMW sized check.
But I agree that 3-17 is underachieving, they've blown a few opportunities that would bring that record up to something more acceptable.
The haters are the only reason for me to visit here. Just mention a Franklin contract extension, or surf after a PSU win and feel the anger. Their anguish is so enjoyable that it's almost worth a PSU loss just to see them load and fire. Don't forget that every loss is 100% on the coaching staff and the buck stops with none other than James Franklin. To be fair, the officials may get a mention.
My wish is that Franklin leaves, so next season, I can see the same loyal fans turn on an entirely new coach.
If not, I anxiously await the inevitable contract extension and the hysteria that will follow. LOL
We deserve better!

as I look forward to you fondling the new guy. Look at the numbers, that’s all
it's almost worth a PSU loss
a crazy take shown

Penn State football aside. Your repeated references to my "ball sucking" and "fondling" are rather disturbing. Perhaps they reflect an attraction that you are struggling with? Let me be the first to say, it's okay. Everyone here is compassionate.
