Who has a true smidge of optimism that PSU FB will win out.....

[Mr. Potter]

including the playoffs.

I need to confess that scenario crept into my mind last evening and has me believing, foolishly or otherwise.

 

[Georgia Peach]

Our receivers, collectively, have caught as many TD passes in conference games as I have. IF we make the playoffs we will be one and done.

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

We should absolutely run the table. If we have home playoff game, especially against an SEC team like TN, I love out chances to maker finally 8.

 

[BobPSU92]

We’re screwed.

 

[psuro]

We are just playing out the string due to NIL contracts. We are the (checks notes) Pittsburgh Pirates of the Big Ten.

A smidge is a very small amount. I have more than a smidge of optimism that we win the last 4. Maybe 2 smidges.

Maybe only one smidge that we can win 5 more games and no smidges that we can win the MNC.

T™osu laughs at smidges.

Mr. Potter. I believe these are yours.

But we'll have 3 weeks or so before the playoff game. Maybe we can sign a couple of receivers from teams that didn't make the playoffs

Only a smidge because I keep having flashbacks of 1999 the minute my hopes get up.

I haven't seen another PSU team with the quit that 1999 had- I think this team will fight

I am always amazed by people who can predict the outcome of games when we don't know the teams that will be playing. You can make an absolute killing in Vegas.

can we try Oneil Cruz at WR?

Now, that makes some sense.

I agree with you from a logical perspective. But this team will almost certainly have the worst receiving group in the playoffs and our record against top ten teams the last few years has shown that deficiency is fatal. You can't play top teams with half an offense. Take Warren away and we are impotent.

 

[Monty2007]

Before the season, based on having three new coordinators, and some potentially unsure positions, told by nephew it looks like a 10-2 season. I figured we lose to the $20 million dollar OSU team, and one of the away games, WV, USC or Wisky. There's a good chance we win out and I would have been real happy with 11-1 before the season, plus a possible home playoff game.

But you have to like our chances.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

I’m all in on winning out. Should be a blast.

 

[LB99]

It’s amusing to me that PSU could, and very likely may, finish 11-1 and it’s doom and gloom by some of the fan base. If going into the season, you were told PSU would finish the season 11-1 with wins over WVU, USC, Wisky, Washington, etc, would you have been happy? Now, with that said, 11-1 will have to earned. Washington and Minnesota will not be easy.

I (we’ve) been perfectly clear what our problem with the program is. Don’t be obtuse.

So, if they beat OSU but lost to the others your good? 11-1 = bad? Possibly hosting a playoff game is bad?

I'm optimistic we will win our last 4 games and have a decent seed in the playoffs. If we play a lower seed at Beaver Stadium then I am optimistic that we will win our first game. After that, I think we are toast.

 

[razpsu]

Zu Zuus petals. Not a smidge of doubt that we make it to final 4.

no outcome will ever be good enough
