When I look at the glass you can't convince me its half empty

[nittanyfan333]

Couldn’t agree more. Life’s too short to be pessimistic, and let that negativity drag you down. Be happy, be kind, be a decent human.

Well....as an engineer, I always see a full glass. Half full of liquid, half full of air.

 

[Got GSPs]

I’m pretty much a pessimist, but there aren’t a lot of football programs that have it better than Penn State. Maybe a dozen that are quantifiable better. And despite recent history, we are close to Michigan in the struggle for number two in the big ten.

Sounds more like a physicist. I always figured that engineers would say you have the wrong glass.

Or at least within 24 points of Michigan.

I see a glass and wish it had beer!

 

[J.E.B]

It’s half full. Problem is we have a 12 ounce cup. Elites have 16 ounce cups. We live in a 10-2 world. Anything less is pessimistic.

An engineer sees the opportunity for a better glass design

When it comes to watching PSU under the Franklin era

one can be an optimist and be sadly disappointed
or
one can be a pessimist and be pleasantly surprised

Welllll....
1. If the liquid is half gone because you drank it, the glass was the right size to start with.
2. From a logistics standpoint having one size glass is a cost savings. If people choose to only fill it half way with liquid, I still have all the benefits of those cost savings.

It sadly disappoints me that we are never bad enough. I deserve worse.

You have too much glass

Who has matched up to tOSU better, Michigan or Penn State?

Heel, toe? Wth is that?

It’s half empty and has sprung a leak

 

[Marshallmarshallloser]

2-20 against AP Top 10 = "elite"....
Kansas State has 2 such wins this year.....

If you want to be half full, all good, but you would be insane to think your optimism will be rewarded under Franklin's leadership.

 

[oldpsubear]

The problem is right now I see no way that half glass ever gets filled for at least 9 more years

 

[fastlax16]

It’s not that it’s half empty or full, it’s just that it’s a very small glass to start with.

The very small glass runneth under.

My accountant would say “How full do you want it to be”.

 

[Mr. Potter]

I'm still the optimist regarding everything in life. As far as Saturday's loss. Time for Allar to have an increased roll.

Fine, be optimistic about the team if it floats your boat but only if you understand that it’s just feelings. I’m an optimist myself (my father was the most cheerful, optimistic guy you’d ever meet), but in the cold light of day there’s not much progress showing. That’s not feelings, it’s cold fact. Shalom.

I don’t think progress is one of Franklin’s METRICS. .
