Official '26 PSU - Wisconsin game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
That was shocking. Part of this may be economics, part may be TV access and part may be the poor state of CFB. You summed it yesterday in saying your interest is just “meh” anymore. Many feel the same way.
The biggest difference today is getting the NIL plug and play players. Recruiting is
essential, but, experience whether MAC,Sunbelt, or power 4.
Players like Luke Wafle are few and far between. In other words pay proven players.
We pretty much lost the 26 class due to the late hire, and the players MC took with
him from ISU trusted playing for him rather than taking a chance with ISU's new HC.
Top that with a good chunk of PSU players going elsewhere.
It is what it is at this point, fixable to a point yes , but it is a reality check for players,
coaches and fans.

Try reading big guy--you shouldn't need punctuation to read something properly but you are special
I get the concern but isn't this that case at almost every program aside from playing elite teams?
Just too many other things I enjoy or would rather do at this point to worry about college football. I will say I can’t ever see myself spending $15 on fries with cheese from the Chickie’s And Pete’s concession stand. I’d add someone mentioned tons of tickets were available for cheap. I think they made a big mistake going bigger instead of smaller/more comfortable.
Starting Friday.Don‘t sell Campbell short. He could have several more clunkers this season.
Yeah, it seems that way when watching games
Tarps or empty seats are prevalent.
Younger fans just don't have the same interest we did in going to games and older generations (myself included) are passing on games for convenience.
I used to love the game day atmosphere--now I hate it as much as a I hate being in a loud bar lol
That is true…there were plenty of opportunities for big plays that Becht missed.
I think it’s more the expectations of going 12-0 every year….and please don’t say posters on here don’t expect 12-0…I read the posts after the losses and the close wins.
I may research the demand and pricing studies they did for this expansion plan.
PSU fans are die hard in general, but it’s not an abundantly affluent base.
Oklahoma State beat Oregon with North Texas players because they have a dynamic and creative offense.
Sorry, fans of every major program think 12-0 should happen or is a possibility. That sentiment is nothing unique to Penn State so this narrative that we deserve every bad thing that happens to the program is horse piss.
Anytime I see the word entitled. Sheeple spending good money to beat Mary Kates but lose to real teams. Go State go 8-4, we good wit it lol
Outside of OSU, Georgia and a few others, no fan expects 12-0 every season…they hope for it, but don’t expect it and they certainly don’t fire a coach who’s had multiple 10+ win seasons.
It does if you’re trying to play straight up, smash mouth football instead of having some creativity. You can’t out talent a team when you don’t have significantly more talent.
I was good with 10-2 multiple times, but posters like you weren’t.
BS. Other programs fire coaches routinely. Giving a guy 12 years for 4-21 against top ten is beyond generous. Since you mentioned Georgia go look up Mark Richt.
Who else? Tell me all the other programs that have fired a coach with multiple 10 win seasons halfway through a season after they were one game away from the NC…I’ll wait.
So, again, it doesn't matter our guys came from Iowa State then, correct?
the creativity has nothing to do with the guys
For the record, no one expected 12-0 (well no one sane)
All people wanted was to ocassionally beat someone we weren't expected to beat or on par with us
Even without that, I didn't want Franklin gone until he lost to UCLA AND Northwestern as he lost the team after the Oregon game.

Hard to say, depends on if the guys would play better in a more creative system, but obviously we’ll never know. I’m just wondering why North Texas guys are better than many of the transfers from big boy schools.
You must not read the board very closely. When people are calling for a coach’s head after every loss, they clearly expect 12-0.
who says they're better?
Clearly, we were bad yesterday. Watch Oklahoma State vs Tulsa--you wouldn't be saying this.
You have a few irrational people -- just like the Franklin fans that want Campbell gone already. 40% of the poll actually said that.
I’ve been on this board for many years and have yet to see a loss where almost every poster put the blame on the players and not the coach.
