Are you trying to convince yourself or something? Excuse making session....LOL...get a grip. So upset he's doing well you had to vent.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.
