Ahem.

I could see Franklin making the jump to A&M, but not until Saban is gone. People forget that the Aggies have a ton of money and are desperate to become the big Texas program. Sumlin bungled that while UT was down, but there's still a chance. Offering Franklin a ridiculous contract is not out of the realm of possibility. If Sumlin is fired, Franklin is getting a big raise; whether that's to stay in Happy Valley or move to College Station, I'm not sure. I'd lean towards him staying with the Nittany Lions for now

As much as I love ripping on Franklin I definitely respect him for that. I especially like how quickly #7 for Penn State turned around to head back to shake hands. I think that shows a level of respect for his coach and he knew he had done f'd up when coach came running lol.

Yup. For this one move alone, Franklin has hopped off my "eff this guy I hope he loses every game" list.

My "eff this guy I hope he loses every game list" now reads:
1. David Shaw
2. Jim Harbaugh
3. Dave Doern

Put the two Daves at the top for me.

Love what Franklin did this weekend. Respect points.

Also love that PSU loses to the first real teams they've played, one of which ND beat the brakes off of.

I still think that former Fordham HC and current PSU OC Joe Moorhead basically saved his career but Franklin has gotten a lot more tolerable the last two years. Curious to see what they look like next year without Barkley and probably Moorhead because I still think he's a pretty mediocre HC, just a great motivator and recruiter.

James Franklin falls to 0-10 in road games vs AP-ranked opponents (0-5 at PSU)

Iowa let them off the hook earlier this year.

Curious, does Franklin still only hire coaches with hot wives?

You heard it here first, Franklin tries to sleep with his assistant's wifes.

Since bumped...

I think both are incredibly horrible but comparing the two IMO the MSU situation with this pervert doctor is much worse. Both looked the other way, but Sparty literally continued to give this sicko victims to abuse. PSU at least didn't spoon feed Sandusky. Lost all respect for MSU as a higher level of education.

Looks like HBO might be going hard at the scared old man... Going to make him look like a scared old man that quickly deteriorates into a confused old man that doesn't know what's happening around him as he slowly dies.

Penn State bars Outing Club from outdoor trips, citing safety concerns
by John Patrick
April 26, 2018 03:41 PM

An undergraduate student organization dedicated to the outdoors has been forced to end their historic tradition of taking students camping in the wilderness due to safety concerns from their college.

Penn State’s Outing Club has been officially barred from organizing and running outdoor trips for the semester, as a result of safety concerns by university administrators. According to a release posted on the club’s official website, the activities engaged in by the Outing Club have exceeded the acceptable level of risk for university organizations.

...

Hiking and camping are too dangerous but rugby and football are O.K.

No mention of on campus group activities in the Sandusky Showers.

Fleming is an absolute freak of an athlete. I do think he will have to adjust wherever he goes playing against better talent since he is in only AA. That said, I am really surprised he isn't going to PSU according to Panda's sources.

His breakup must have been the final nail in the coffin for PSU

def played a small factor, but he enjoyed the lime light and attention--psu def did that for him but he is focused on a football decision and OSU it is...clemson was also in play ...bama if gattis stayed would have been a tough situation for him to say no to and also Stone heading there... but what surprised me was that Georgia actually was being very seriously considered..
