FC: Franklin has a chance to end one of his worst streaks this weekend.....
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
You have to break a streak sometime. Might as well be this weekend. Even the Chicago Cubs have won a WS this century.His teams are 0-3 on the road when ranked in the top five (Iowa, Minnesota, OSU).
From a personal mental health standpoint, a win would be most welcome.
A win will result in much gnashing of teeth and wailing of grief.
I want revenge for the Rose Bowls. We can't get that but win would help.
It's been a long damn time since 2008 and those fancy pants ******** dancing on the sideline.

USC is having Sam Darnold lead the team out into the field Saturday since he was the QB in the 2017 (?) Rose Bowl where USC beat PSU 52-49.
True, but it took the Cubs 108 years to win it. Hopefully it doesnāt take Franklin/ PSU as long.
That was kinda my point. Feels like 108 years.True, but it took the Cubs 108 years to win it. Hopefully it doesnāt take Franklin/ PSU as long.
They should have mark sanchez come out to prance around too. Both can wear their jets regalia.
I hope we see a USC butt fumble to honor Sanchez.
I still remember the Butt Fumble like it was yesterday. You knew right away it was an instant classic. It defies physics and is a physical comedy masterpiece up there with Benny Hill and the Three Stooges.
It was a Thanksgiving Miracle, like a Hallmark movie for haters.
We're going to learn a lot about Franklin Football with this game. He either has "it" or he doesn't. He and his team need to not only outplay USC, they also need to outplay the assigned B1G officiating crew.. It's probably not happening, here's why:
I'll be watching tomorrow, albeit with lowered expectations. I wish you all a blessed day. Please don't allow the officiating to elevate your blood pressure.
It is what it is.
- To his credit, James arranged for the team to leave/arrive a day early. That is important in cross-country match-ups. Kudos to James.
- We have OSU at zero (0) conference losses, the edict of which shall remain until "The Game"
- We have Oregon with a 2-0 conference record, soon to be a respectable 2-1 after a loss to OSU
- We have an unforseen and pesky Indiana team at 6-0 overall and 3-0 in conference (soon to be 7-0 / 4-0 after facing Nebraska at home). Not to worry.....Indiana will be put in their proper place after facing Michigan State, Michigan and Ohio State later in the season.
- U$C was supposed to be the West Coast Golden Child, but has suffered two (2) conference losses, one unexpected. Per the B1G, this can't continue.....they need a sexy SoCal team to have a "major upset" and make the B1G standings seem coastally un-biased (after the Oregon loss)
- At 5-0 / 2-0, PSU is a pesky competitor in the B1G (much like Indiana) and will be taken care of by the B1G. I suspect the B1G overt corruption starts this Saturday.

CORRECTION: Franklin beat PSU 52-49!
I was at that game. USC fans were very classy before the game, and... less so after.
The thing is: I didn't mind that we lost that one. It was a great game. Very back and forth. Both teams had their top defensive player ejected. Each team has a point where they were up by two scores. It was competitive.
Where I get frustrated is when it's not competitive. When we just get smoked, and the good guys look like they have no idea what they're doing out there.
it is much worse....Heather Dinich has put PSU on her "upset alert" and declared no way we are #4 team. This should be the ultimate vodoo doll with pins.
Are you saying we will see both USC matador OTs openly tackling PSU DEs? Nahā¦ Iāve never seen that beforeā¦We're going to learn a lot about Franklin Football with this game.

If Franklin is going to win or lose this game....why did PSU send the whole team and staff cross country for no reason? It sure seems to be an unnecessary expense.
So you are saying don't be surprised if it's 1-9 after this one

Yeah, but look at the same games again and note how many times the favorite wonā¦(think itās 8-2).
His teams are 0-3 on the road when ranked in the top five (Iowa, Minnesota, OSU).
Is a three game obscure stat even a streek?
āIs that you Ethel??? You get your clothes on!!!āāStreek? Not sure - streak; yes.
He also broke a streak of PSU being 0-5 against USC in California.
Now 2-3 with a two game win streak. If psu wins One more will that make it the best streak using your logic? .His teams are 0-3 on the road when ranked in the top five (Iowa, Minnesota, OSU).
