Hey Franklin haters, is a playoff game a big game? Win or go home. Elimination. Season ends.

Thanks bro but that’s not necessary. My philosophy is if I wouldn’t say something to somebody at the moose lodge bar on dollar pony night 8’ from the door to the parking lot, I won’t say it. So would this cat call me a piece of schit at the moose on dollar pony night? Don’t know lol (6’ 220, watch tons of mma and almost always roll with son 2)

Bahahaha. Now you're threatening people with "I watch tons of mma"?! Settle down, Beavis. You'd cry and pee. You can't even handle the Amazon delivery driver without a gun. But at least you admit you post like a drunk.

Don't worry. I would never expect you to grow up. Or do basic math.

I did a google image search for "homeless-looking man wearing diapers, shouting the n-word while demanding coaching excellence and warning folks that he watches mma as he's holding a gun" but nothing good came up.

Looks like @laKavosiey-st lion truly is one of a kind. Thankfully.

ND lost to sister mother of Mary and they are in the thick of it is my point silly
And I’m quite sure ND would gladly trade that loss for a loss to USC….the argument against ND even making the playoffs was that loss. Had they lost one more game, they wouldn’t have made it due to that loss.

LOL...was the the left side or right side? When we pay like tOSU or Oregon and have stacked 4-5 star skill talent I think we should expect to beat them more...they are more talented than this PSU team. There is no Taz on this squad or anything remotely close to the OSU's WR group. So now it's just down to 2 teams where the W's count...moving that line. LOL....you're an absolute clown that is so easy to spin up.

Keep moving your line Blue Hen toolboy. I just love spinning your dumb arse around and around....you actively **** on the team your root for, don't look at the real reasons why, and are too naive to understand any of it I guess....including basic math percentages.

When is the last time PSU lost to a team outside of the top 5 or as a favorite? Pretty bad coaching going on here. Woe is you and PSU.

Oregon and OSU also have 4-5 star game day coaches. Will continue to be difficult for a 3 star Gameday coach to beat them.

The only reason that loss didn’t keep them out of the playoffs is because they didn’t get a second loss. Had they finished 10-2, they would have been out of the playoffs because one of the losses came against NIU. If a team is going to lose, it’s always better to lose to top teams and not middle of the pack teams.

But the “fluff” is what counts…who makes the playoffs? The teams with more wins. I swear you’d rather go 2-10 as long as those two wins were against OSU and Michigan. But in the end, the amount of wins is what counts.

It’s also worth noting that ND did not actually beat anyone that good (best win was Army or A&M I guess). So they have a bad loss and not really any impressive wins. They really aren’t relevant to the discussion

Since we lost to each by a score or less (a yard or two, in one instance), if we had the lesser game day coach, that would obviously mean we have the better talent.

Is that your stance? PSU is more talented than OSU and Oregon?

Imagine beating a top ten team to advance to the national semifinals and having people in our fanbase posting like this.

Unreal.
We're surrounded by idiots. (BWICAC)
The same true blue fans that booed Sean Clifford and mocked him for getting in the way of 5 star wonderkid Allar.
Then likely at some point passionately asserted that Beau should take over.
Why do I suspect that James Franklin isn't the only obstacle to greatness in their lives?

Did you miss my reference to coaching, not players.

You can give Franklin an offensive line that is blowing away a gassed opponent’s line. Elite running backs getting chunks with each run, 2 minutes, 3 timeouts, mid field and he will screw it up going pass happy. Franklin does this repeatedly regardless of the OC. He fears a no gain run more than an incomplete pass.

He said 45-37.
In a complete blow out shiz show that wasn't close at any point. Number one team in the country and has a top two payroll. Yes I said payroll, because that's what it's all about now. tOSU bought the best Safety in the country (Downs) and a top 3 RB (Junkins). We spent the money to bring our DL back for another year and keep what we have because we don't have that kind of money. But blame it on the coach because it's the lazy take.

I'm well aware of what you posted.

You're apparently not comprehending what I'm saying, however.

See if you can follow ...

You said Franklin is a lesser game day coach than Day and Lanning.
We were a whisker away from beating both.
Therefore, we must have the superior talent.

It's "unpossible" to have a lesser game day coach and lesser talent, and be within a few feet of beating superior talent and coaching.

Yet, everyone knows we don't have the superior talent ... so ...

all of this is just paterno excuse making 101 being repackaged for Franklin. There was always some reason why everyone else could win, but poor joe had to fight with one hand behind his back because allegedly we did it “the right way”. Made it sound more noble when he lost, repeatedly, in those later years. The more excuses the fans made for Joe, the longer he got to stay. That worked out splendidly for everyone. I applaud what James has done so far this season, but this was always the standard he should have been held to rather than the “10 wins against anyone with a pulse is good enough” crap we had to hear about for years at length (paterno advanced excuse making 102). Just wait till next season if James gets knocked out in an early round or fails to qualify at all, Paterno excuse making master classes will be in session.

Candidly, I think he has done enough that he will get another shot at the playoffs again next year. Allar was apparently sold on it so much so that he came back. Will have to see.

That's a lot of words to say that you hate Penn State football coaches.

it is crazy and funny that Penn State is a top 4 team and people can post, in essence, "how can you make excuses for these coaches!?!"
