What’s the over/under on the time of the first FIRE CAMPBELL post?

 

[Anon231980]

Let’s Go !!!

That's a really nice touch

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

I honestly have no idea what to expect, but I’m rooting for this team like the homer I am!

If patterns from ISU transfer over to PSU, Campbell’s teams start kind of slow and seem to get better as the season goes on (except last year when they were riddled with injuries). With that and the fact that we’re installing a new offense for PSU and a new defense for everyone, I expect this game to go okay. Some flashes, some problems, probably won’t cover the spread.

34-21 Penn State

I expect improvements between this week and next at Temple, but playing on the road and continuing to install both the offense and defense while the coaches and players continue to mesh, it will probably be another week that’s just okay—but we pull away in the third quarter and the score is more impressive (38-9). Then against Buffalo it all comes together and we whip them like the cupcake they are (52-0).

I’m sure this will be an unpopular take on here, but I’d be much more confident about this game if Franklin was still the coach.

Now put the statue back on top of the 409 sign!

I think that was back in December

 

[BobPSU92]

FIRE. CAMPBELL.

 

[LionJim]

FIRE. CAMPBELL.

And, just like that, I’m out $100. I called 1:00 pm on the nose.

 

[Big_O]

I just hope Penn State doesn’t pull a Rutgers.

He did a great job of preparing the team for the Bowling Green game two years ago.

 

[pendal1]

FIRE. CAMPBELL.

Agreed. He hasn't shown me anything.

 

[Ludd]

He did a great job of preparing the team for the Bowling Green game two years ago.

He was still 31-2 in OOC games with 25 straight….Campbell was 20-9 with a loss to Northern Iowa. So we may not have won as comfortably as posters on here wanted, we did win.

We Are!

The Sons of Marshall!!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

They didn’t even wait for me to start the official game thread. smh

@LionJim, thanks for undertaking the task.

I’ll miss the entire game, but look forward to reading the game thread to see how things went for PSU.

 

[manatree]

FIRE. CAMPBELL.

Now say it again with meaning!

 

[Paws057]

FIRE. CAMPBELL.

It can't be as bad as last year right? Right?

 

[Ludd]

It can't be as bad as last year right? Right?

I guess we’ll see…last year’s OOC game scores were 46-11, 34-0, and 52-6…so it could be worse.

What were the scores of the 6 games after that?

 

[lemonears]

Now put the statue back on top of the 409 sign!

And rename the stadium "Paterno Stadium" Beaver Stadium has always been lame.

 

[KingLando]

Just win. 14-13 is still a win. This is all about building toward the Big Ten games. Now yes I'd prefer 42-3 but....just win

 

[SleepyLion]

Yeah, those combat wounded civil war military commanders don't need stadiums named after them.
smh

FIRE. CAMPBELL.

HIRE. FRANKLIN!

 

[lemonears]

smh

Also, James Beaver was a Pennsylvania governor. Very distinguished man who died in Bellefonte. Let rename the university James Beaver University and then name the stadium Paterno Stadium.

 

[KingLando]

would Joe even want the stadium named after him?

 

[Efejle]

Joe not suiting up today. Let's attempt to take the focus off Paterno for 3 hours at least today.

 

[LionJim]

F me, my internet is really glitchy today and I can’t change the channel to FS1.

 

[Efejle]

As usual this Nebraska game is going to run long

 

[BobPSU92]

HIRE. FRANKLIN!

As I was sitting in Starbucks this morning nursing my vanilla latte and blueberry muffin, a guy walked in wearing a vick vo tech jersey. What a time to be a vo tech athletic supporter.

 

[Ludd]

What were the scores of the 6 games after that?

I worry about them one game at a time and those were conference games against P4 teams…different animal.

 

[Ludd]

Hate him all you want, but he won the OOC games.

 

[LionJim]

F me, my internet is really glitchy today and I can’t change the channel to FS1.

Crisis adverted.

 

[Ludd]

FS1 is really glitchy today, at least on my DirectTV.
