Until reading your post, I never realized that the PSU fan base "suited up" and played football.
It’s August 1st. 35 days until PSU’s first game of the 2026 season.

Penn State had 53 scholarship players when Franklin arrived. Including 4 offensive linemen. BWICAC revisionist history is comical. BOB jumped ship at his earliest opportunity.
The saviors of PSU Football were the young men with exceptional character that Joe recruited.
Why not? They coach.Until reading your post, I never realized that the PSU fan base "suited up" and played football.
Do you really think college football as we know it would exist without fans? PSU had 90k+ average attendance through the sanctions.Until reading your post, I never realized that the PSU fan base "suited up" and played football.
1 good year from McWhorter. He decided not to stick around very long.
Why should he?
He was already rich and had another life including grandchildren.
Are you sure?Don’t forget us. We did our part.
You claim to be an ex-PSU lineman but there is no record of your participation in any PSU games.
Correct. I'm simply pointing out that after his departure the OL cupboard went bare and when Franklin came in it was a total rebuild.
Considering no one is giving him that honeymoon grace period about 98%. It's that other 2% that seems to be taking a WOE is ME approach. You know that glass is empty thing before we even play the first game.What is Campbell’s approval rating?
I don't know, we've been told that 10 wins don't count unless one of them is over tOSU.
Since they aren't on the schedule, I assume that 11 wins might be ok?
Or must he meet "the standard"?
I don't think 10 wins gets us into the playoff unless one of those wins is over a ranked team. I think there would be a lot of bitching but Campbell would still be held in high regard since it was his first season.
Assume there will be at least 4 SEC and 3 BIG teams in the playoff. There are 4 games that will determine playoffs: USC, @dumb, @ UW and Minn. If PSU goes 2-2 against them and all four of those teams end up in the top 25, they have a slight chance but only if they beat either USC or Michigan since they will need head to head over them potentially. Also, we all know that the SEC will declare how great their 3 loss teams are because of their fake schedule strength argument brought on by pre-season rankings so I could see a three loss SEC team get in over a 2 loss PSU.
My guess is that it takes 11-1 for PSU to get in as there will be plenty of 2-3 loss SEC teams that the media will fight for to get in
It’s August 17th. 19 days until (We Are!) Marshall.
btn was on campus last week interviewing coaches and players. Lots of optimism. Most disturbing.

It’s August 22nd. 14 days until (We Are!) Marshall. Campbell and the boys are still giving it a try. They probably won’t win on the field, but Campbell is winning hearts and minds with his words, and that is more important.
The PSU boards out there are going a little Cray Cray. The season can’t get here quick enough.It’s August 22nd. 14 days until (We Are!) Marshall. Campbell and the boys are still giving it a try.

Guess you will be happy when they lose that one. Franklin is not coming back. Just letting you know. PSU has a new coach. Hope he does great. I’m a PSU fan.
Also not coming back are the values that Joe tried to instill. His players were also students and there were reasons to be a PSU fan beyond the wins and losses.
Now, the entire sport is a sham- root for whomever- the NFL puts out a better product with a lot less hypocrisy.

Where did I ever say that? My contempt for college football has nothing to do with any individual coach or player. It's not their fault that so many fans are delusional.
I do think that Kraft is a doucebag, but that's not a reflection on anyone else.
I was a PSU and a college football fan for 60 years, now I'm not. The values that made the sport worth following no longer exist.
You can support what Franklin did here and still want Campbell to succeed. I want every coach at PSU to win.
The problem is that if Campbell wins a lot here, then he’ll probably stay and we won’t get someone good.
I never didn’t support coach franklin. He was great. Then he wasn’t here anymore. Some posters want PSU to fail to cheer on this board to all the Franklin haters.
The thing i miss most is seeing the growth and improvement in the players. Watching them as freshmen and looking forward to the next year and seeing them start to dominate. Now it's just a turnstile as they jump from program to program. I know it will never be the same.

Well, the Franklin haters do make it easy to want see Franklin succeed. There’s nothing like being completely irrational about something.
I'm pretty sure Marshall won't have too many casualties. The players who score a TD or who tackle a future NFL player will remember it and tell stories about it forever.
Look at how many people spend a small fortune to attend fantasy camps.
