Sounds like you should have given up when PSU joined the Big 10 because we had losing records against OSU, Michigan and Iowa in all the “glory years”. We’re better off now than we were in many of the years back in the day.
Let’s look ahead to 2024 PSU Football. 😀

Not even close, Levis had a guy in front of him (who’s also in the NFL), Allar is the guy.
i am referring to the remarks you will hear ....i have been told repeatedly that the Joe Bots should just leave....so unfortunately you didn't understand the sarcasm of the post....and yes i graduated 1980 so yes i am a JoeBot and believe he was terrific

First and foremost from a player standpoint: We need leadership. Last year was Sean Clifford. Some of our best in the past were Paul Poslusny and Brandon Short. The 2023 PSU team just seemed void of any leadership. We can blame the coaching staff all we want. However, there need to be players who are vocal can effectively motivate the others around them to play. I just did not see that this season...
I wonder if Andy sees a different line up or a different way of looking at the QB position just to start. Warren, Singleton, and Katron are safe.
The day kids opt out of the playoff is coming....soon. All it takes is 1 to get the ball rolling. Most of these kids care way less than us about winning championships
They aren’t good, but stabbing them seems extreme.
I’m pretty certain a player last year played in the first 4 games, removed himself (when the team wasn’t doing well) to maintain a redshirt and announce he was entering the portal at the end of the year? I don’t remember the player or school.
You are where I am also. You are not a JoeBot. JoeBots will never admit he stayed too long and that he was human and had subpar game performances and seasons. They think he walked on water.
I think the defense had Chop, Carter, Jacobs and King. Yesterday, when Carter got hurt, the wheels came off. They were playing with an edge up until that point.
Next year, to be assured a spot in the playoffs, you’ll need to be 10-2 or 9-3 and lucky. If PS beats who they are supposed to beat, four games will determine the season: at USC, at West Virginia, home with OSU and home with Washington. Can they beat 2/4? And make sure they don’t blow one of the games they should win: Wisconsin, Maryland, Rutgres, …?
Michigan has Harbaugh as a head coach, Penn State has James Franklin you have no hope.
Harbaugh who turned around Stanford and then turned around the 49'rs and has a better overall record at Michigan than Bo versus Franklin who has not and cannot turn around anything but is elite at deflecting blame and hiring the next coordinator.
The NC State quarterback did that this year. Wasn't after the first 4 games but after he played in 4 (and yes, at this point he was the starting quarterback), he decided he didn't want to play anymore so he could maintain his redshirt.
If one disagrees with Franklin, are they now “haters”? Will Franklin collect receipts like the clown at Colorado, is that what it is today?
Yeah, players only have the opportunity because the fans support them, buy their training, their coaching, get them NIL money, etc. Then expecting them to pay hundreds to go to a bowl game where players opt out is a big FU.
What can fans expect? Overpriced game tickets and inflated hotel rooms to watch a team who had players quit.
Just heard Iowa has a couple injuries but no opt-outs. yet they have players who are moving on and likely want to make a run at NFL.
I think the key is the tv revenue. If people wouldn’t watch it would have more impact.
I think that would mean the NIL contract with the player is for playing as opposed to NIL value. i dont think anyone would want a contract like that to get in the public domain.
did he stay on the team? if you quit the team can they force you to pay for part of the semester? you still have to succeed academically to transfer.
barring a miracle I think 9-3 would be a very good year. that probably is not playoff, and would lead to a second tier bowl and we would see the same type of opt outs we just saw yesterday.
With the
With the transfer portal still open.....no way.
Upswing, Drew Allar may be the most experienced QB of the new BIG: OSU, Michigan, Oregon, USC, and Washington all loose their starters. Wild.
Not a drastic Downswing for me though(probably 9-3): I don’t think they can fix this offense because the basic philosophy is all Franklin ‘s, and it can’t beat anyone who recruits better than us without Saquon turning 5 yard losses into 25 yard gains.
Maybe. But what took Harbaugh so long at Michigan? Why did he wait til year 7 to finally get rolling? Seems to me if he's the miracle worker you portray him to be, he would have had Michigan where they are now much earlier. I think Harbaugh's a really good coach. But I don't think after being at Michigan for 6 years he suddenly woke up and said "ok, we're going to start dominating, starting today!" and it magically happened.
