Not a great class, but I’ll take a few of these guys.

Thank you!

Allar out for the rest of the season. Not that he's good ... but they might only win 1 game the rest of the way without him.

 

[Huntr]

They're 3-3.

Do they go bowling?

Going with that era of uniforms with the white collar, too.

It's wild living in Central PA. You have your crazy fans who insist that JoePa was innocent and did nothing wrong.

Then you have the really crazy fans who insist that Sandusky didn't do anything wrong and it was all a conspiracy to get rid of JoePa.

I'm in Lock Haven.
The bubble is still quite strong in these parts.

I legit think that their only wins left are Sparty and Slutgers. And you could talk me into them losing at least one of those.

I was with you. And then I looked at their commits. Maybe go after a LB if we want a third. But we are better at every position

Especially w/Allar out.

I think he kinda sucks, but he's good enough to beat low tier B1G teams in the regular season.

It’s like the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones. The beginning of the end.

Feel bad for Drew, but this couldn’t happen to a better fan base or coach.

That press conference, Ole Miss guy pretending to pee in the end zone and Florida throwing a shoe are the trinity of modern turning points for major college programs.

Yeah he's not nearly as good as he thinks he is, but he's competent and experienced enough to get you a win against the middle and bottom of the Big 10.

'member when that motherfucker said some shit in that presser about ND's wins being lesser since they aren't in a conference?

How's our ass taste, James?

 

[thekid33]

I really hope they don't fire Franklin yet. Keep his ass and let him truly implode and take himself out of the running for any job other than a PSAC HC job. His ass can't be humbled enough.

 

[Irish#1]

We should appreciate Franklin more than we do.

PSU insider rumblings Franklin will be out this week

 

[rikkitikki08]

Hearing "mutual parting with Franklin will happen by Thursday. Negotiated lower buyout. It's done deal."

Why would he negotiate a lower buyout? Makes zero sense for him other than he’s ready to quit on his team which would make him an even bigger bitch than he already is.

I don’t buy it, let them fire you and collect your 50 million

No idea, hearing it second hand. Maybe it's not that big of a negotiation, or maybe someone has dirt on him. Who knows

I'm sure they'd like that.

 

[dankgesang]

First time I've ever seen cope so powerful it hurt my eyes to look at it

 

[Irish#1]

I doubt Franklin will get fired this week or next. People upset and overreacting.

I think that buyout is the only thing stopping him from being fired.

They're paying a shit ton of money for the stadium renovation, too, so they just don't have the cash to pay for the buyouts AND a new staff.

They've lost three straight, two to teams a team with championship aspirations has no business losing to. People are just reacting.

Couldnt happen to a nicer asshole.

Straight from the horse's mouth:

Imagine the level of dirt bad enough to get you fired from PSU. Those idiots are still mad Joe the Enabler's statue was removed.
