Name has nothing to do with it. You’re misunderstanding what I’m saying. I’m saying that I heard both of his parents were teachers, which is very concerning to me.
So, please explain this asinine comment. What concerns you about his parents being teachers.
My father was a teacher.
I was a teacher.
My son went into teaching and is now an academic advisor at GVSU.
Are you saying we are not hard workers?
Please enlighten me and change my opinion of you.

“Mr and Mrs Smith” is a reference to a married couple who are spies. It’s a reference from a movie.

Why should it concern anybody that HCMC’s parents were teachers?

I don’t want to insult anybody. I also don’t want to get into a whole thing about our education system or academia in general. This is not the time or place for that. I invited your response by bringing it up, so that’s on me. However, I’m still going to bail on this conversation now 👍

Your are half right!

Oh, my bad. I remember that movie, with Brad and Angelina. I never did see it. Was it that popular?

I’ve decided to bail on the teachers thing. This isn’t the forum for that. I take responsibility for bringing it up, and I appreciate your cooperation in moving on. Thanks Jim

Matt Campbell’s hat has to go. Sends the wrong message. The whole blue-collar, grab your lunch pail and lace up your boots mentality is lame. The “he does more with less” coach is fine for smaller schools, but is not fitting for a coach at a program with the resources like Penn State.

Rocco talked after the game about how they need to work harder. We’re in trouble. “Hard workers” are a cancer to a football team. Winners win. Losers talk about how hard they work. Winners gather accolades from making big plays on Saturday. Losers get the most improved in the weight room award. I heard that both of Matt Campbell’s parents were teachers, and that worries me. Hansen never should have been the starter the first three weeks.

Also, Becht may be the most experienced QB in college football, but has he ever been good? If Becht hadn’t transferred to PSU, we wouldn’t even know his name. The best QBs in his recruiting class are already taking snaps in the NFL.

We lost an entire recruiting class and half a team firing Franklin. I’m not saying we shouldn’t have parted ways with Franklin, but we needed a big name coach to justify the timing. Kraft bungled the entire process. I’m sorry, but Matt Campbell is boring. I’m concerned with his recruiting. Winning is the only solution, and I’m afraid we have a team of hard workers.
A challenger for top 10 worst post of the year.

I asked you to respond and change my opinion of you. Then you respond the way you did. Nope. You didn’t change my opinion - and it isn’t good.

I like a curved hat brim. If I get a new hat and the brim is a little too flat for my taste, I flex it a bit to get the right curve to it.

Tonight I may go through each of my PSU hats and re-flex the brims to make sure they’re set the way I like them.

Tomorrow I’m going to get up and work hard at my job, and I’ll check in on my mom and my aunt who are retired teachers.

And if my brain starts trying to worry about any weird-@ss sh|t that it tries to relate to PSU football, I’ll tell it to stfu so I can focus and work hard.

And I’ll look forward to rooting for my team in their next game, and seeing how they can rise to the challenge.

Good plan.

Wait until some random fan confronts him or yells at him as they leave the field after a bad loss.

Then you will see another side of MC.
And it ain't gonna be pretty.
But before fans get too critical, remember, he wasn't the first choice, nor the second.

If a random fan says anything to his family, they won’t deserve a “pretty” response

Why would I care about your opinion of me? Who are you again? Teachers are the worst; sorry that runs in your family. Stay in Ohio where you belong

Wow, your life sounds like it really sucks. I’m sorry? 🤷‍♂️

Who referenced his family???
There were confrontations between MC and fans before and after games during his time at ISU.
They're available to view on the interwebz.
He can display a short fuse when things aren't going well.

I love people who are decades out of college and think they know exactly what kids nowadays think is cool or not cool. Yes, I'm sure if MC started wearing a dorky visor like Kirby Smart or Lane Kiffin we'd secure 10 5 stars within a week!

I’m talking about what some of our fans did to Franklin’s family last year.

The Mantle roll ( for you kids this refers to Mickey Mantle #7 HOF ) I think is what he is trying for and misses:)
