So, in other words....discussing things on a discussion forum.

The horror.
Um, not sure what you mean by horror. Just saying, it's a natural follow up question, and when it's discussed in the chatroom, no one has any answers. That's just a reality. I didn't say anything about horror. Perhaps I didn't understand your post?

My argument is everyone throws 10-2 in my face, but beating Kent 10 times does not give me an orgasm.
EVERY program has 2 or so important games a season + a DO NOT LOSE rivalry game (PITT) Those are the ones that matter.
another thing that annoys me is after 6 Kent state games, everyone boasts PSU is 3rd in the country in rushing, 2nd in scoring D, 7th in points etc etc etc…AGAINST KENTs YOU TARDS.
I get it. And beyond Kent state you can look at our body of work and say, "we haven't beaten anyone good yet". Only thing we have done is win 2 tough games on the road against average opponents (Wisc and USC) which is not always easy, and get dominated by a top 5 team physically but managed to stay within one score of them. That essentially is our body of work to date.

Looking forward, if we win out, we will get to say we beat 2 bad teams (Maryland and Purdue) won against a slightly better than average team on the road (Minn) and a whiteout home game that we were favored by 13. That hopefully is the PSU season.

and then the playoffs... ... ... ?

Why are you beating a guy named Kent at all, let alone 10 times ... and why would you expect that to make you orgasm, you sick sadist?

The horror.

Why can't you provide potential solutions in a discussion forum? Discussion usually isn't comprised of whining over and over and over again ... and then over and over and over again ... about the same thing, but not actually talking about actual fixes.

No, they will just move the goalposts again.

Before it was "if we make the playoffs, I'll stop being a little b!tch" ... now they'll only stop being little biznatches if we win a 1st round game. They just want to whine.

Did not say you couldn't. Didn't say that at all.

I’m on record in August 24 predicting 1 playoff win.

Statistically we are getting what he's being paid for. 13 ranked salary, typically 7-15th in end of year polls, and 10-15 ranked recruiting classes. Unfortunately, his losses are to teams that have more talent and NIL resources, and that main team is OSU. He loses very few games to teams he shouldn't have if you look at the body of work. He hasn't solved the OSU juggernaut. We have probably had 3 teams with near equal talent and we lost 2 of those 3 in 2017 and 2018. Stood toe to toe with them in 2020 too I believe. So who is out there with a better record against top teams for the same salary or slightly more? Matt Rhule (giggle). I don't want to be Nebraska. You think Cignetti at 60 years old using the portal for a 1 year success story is who we need? We can fire him, solves a problem, but creates another big one too. So what is the answer? Who you got?

It was painfully obvious Satruday we lack playmakers. We have one plus Allar. 3 WR receptions. WTF. Their RBs were better, their WRs were better, their Oline was better. Their Dline was better. Their secondary was better. 90% of that loss was talent. AK **** the bed on the last series. I get it. But no guarantees we win after that. D was gassed bcz our O had 3 possessions totaling 22 plays in the 2nd half.
Idk why you think we have ever had "near equal talent" with OSU. They are always significantly more talented. Go look at the blue chip ratio stats. For example in 2024 OSU is 90%, PSU is 60%. OSU has 4 and 5 star recruits across the board in the 2 and 3 deep at every single position.

Your definition of Blue Chip is 4- or 5-stars?

It's not my definition, but the definition of the guy who tracks blue chip ratio every year. No team with a blue chip ratio under 50% has won a title in recent memory. PSU was below 50% not too long ago, but Franklin has built us up, but we are still a long ways from the talent the big 3 programs have on an annual basis. With all of the factors that work against PSU the easiest way to bridge that gap would be NIL, but even then I don't see our fans ponying up enough to get us there.

There were a couple of years we were near equal. But you are right, by and large they have more talent and more depth.

    It’s common courtesy. I was getting my family on in lancaster, looking forward to watching the game when I got home. Is it too fvcking hard for you tools to not post thread title scores? Is it hard no it’s not hard stop acting like Ducis Rodgers.

Rick did predict one loss and hosting a playoff game. Maybe not in August but by September for sure.

Actually, by searching the term “playoff” I found a post by him predicting 2 playoff wins and a loss in the final 4. No doubt to create an expectation of results that PSU is unlikely to meet, so he can rag on Franklin when it doesn’t happen.

The most important thing I got out of this is to never search laKa's posts again ... having that many of them appear on the screen at once almost gave me a seizure.

2016 2017 2020
Blue chip ratios:
2016: OSU 70%, PSU 34%
2017: OSU 71%, PSU 41%
2020: OSU 80%, PSU 59%

Not even close in 2016 and 2017. PSU didn't even get above the 50% threshold until 2018 and nobody with a ratio below 50% has won a national title since they started tracking this metric around 2013. Franklin has done a great job to not only get us up above 50% but he has kept us there ever since. Bama and OSU have consistently been at 65%+ for a long time, and recently so has UGA. PSU's highest ever is 61% (2024).
