What was PSU?
I saw some online reports dating back to January that showed schools with most money in NIL collectives. IIRC PSU was 12th but things have changed dramatically since then and I haven't seen any more reports.
They had 6 points at half. Granted should have been 10 but still. They seem to allow teams to hang around for first halves most of the time.

Who cares? Our kids get an education and room and board, including quality ice cream. They don’t want or need more.
Wut?
- Record vs. rest of Big Ten: 52-16.
- Record vs. ranked teams: 12-26.
- Record vs. top-10 teams: 3-17.
There are too many people who confuse pessimism and cynicism for sophistication.
Glad you enjoyed the gameday experience.
Ryan Day is 2-6 vs. top 5 teams. Does he suck as a coach?
I honestly have NO IDEA why the refs made the call. All of the contact initiated by DB, Fleming clearly tries to go to the left to avoid the bump & run of the DB, and Fleming doesn't actively use his hands until Warren has basically crossed the goal line.

No natty, 1-3 in the playoffs and 2 B1G championships. He's likely fired after this season because he was handed the keys to a well oiled machine and frigged it up. Franklin was handed the keys to a shìt show and is finally righting the ship.
You could always resort to this since you've been anti for quite a while:

If you are a card carrying member of the BWICAC all coaches are deemed to suck eventually. All wins are rationalized and loses are accentuated. #1 commandment we deserve better!
He is a great recruiter (whatever that means) and an excellent assembler of coaching talent. He got handed the big hammer with OSU and its "look the other way" athletic budget, but has done nothing comparatively great with it. Consistently winning against the BIG 10 and constantly being in contention for a national championship? For sure. However Urban and Tressel were doing that already. Great on the national stage? Not nearly good enough for the resources that he has.
Thanks for the breakdown. If Flemming had initiated the contact and not let go it’s the right call all day long. I don’t think they saw who initiated the contact, but that is just a guess.
I'm not so sure about the assembler of coaching talent either. Hartline and LJ Sr. we're there under Urban and the rest have come and gone.
The DB "initiating" the contact doesn't mean that Flemming then can just block him with no penalty. Flemming didn't really run a route there to even sell it...he just engaged with him and pushed him up the field. I'd think you'd see that one called about 95 times out of 100 (as the benefit of the doubt doesn't go to the receiver in that instance). I'd be interested to know if the play call was for Flemming to block him, but the pass to be behind the LOS.
What resources? Better than Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Ohio State, Texas AM, Southern Cal, Oklahoma, Michigan, Oregon, Florida,Auburn or Miami? The answer is no.
Never miss the chance to defend Franklin, even when he is not in the conversation.
4 top 4s? How many seasons did he do this in? So coach day in six years made 4 final 4s and won 2 bigs?
will Vegas have him as a road fav v State? (answer is yes)
Dude, they are paying their players $30 million this season in NIL. It's the Jimmy's and Joes and always will be. You want to know how to get more five star recievers to PSU to get us over the hump? Hint: Open up your wallet.
Familiar question, right? Big time Bama boosters might be saying the same thing right now with Deboer.
Please go read my last post and the rule. The DB clearly was the one that "engaged" and he STAYS engaged with Fleming until it's way too late to claim he had any chance to stop Warren. It was at best a very questionable call.
What part of the rule that you posted do you think is covering the fact that Flemming can keep blocking him if the defender is engaged? The DB "initiating" the contact doesn't mean that Flemming can just block him on the play without running a route. After watching it again, I'm convinced that the play was designed for Warren to catch it behind the LOS (which he clearly didn't), to allow Flemming to block, since he's not really running a route.
I thought I answered we need a big time coach to go to 4 final 4s the next 6 years like day

The fact that PSU has kept the games vs. OSU close over the years with such a talent gap actually goes against your argument that CJF is a bad coach.
And I answered that Day wouldn't win shìt without all the high 4 and 5 star players that were bought for him. So, pay up big boy.

Correct. If you interpret the rule as Erial is doing every DB around would do this at the LOS when the WR's/TE's are stacked in hopes of a Offensive PI call. Just grab hold of a WR at the LOS and don't let go....offensive PI? Again I don't think the officials saw the DB initiate the contact and then not let go of Flemming. It's a bang bang play, PSU won, but that isn't offensive PI. It's really a no call to be honest and that is what it should have been 99 out of 100 times.
