FC: Video of Campbell speaking to recruits at White Out…

[Midnighter]

First of this kind of footage I’ve seen from a PSU HC IIRC. He’s good at this.

"This is College Football Town, USA. We are not living in Austin, Texas, or Columbus, Ohio, where you’re just part of it. We are it."

Thanks. That was great. Had I been there, I would have run through a wall, or a window.

I would have taken a nap first.

Thanks for sharing. That was pretty compelling. Succinctly hits all the right points.

I wonder if Kraft was there?

I like it but the highlight video is very important. Maybe that's our problem.

 

[Midnighter]

Different audience, but this making the rounds too…

 

[Phlebitis]

Probably running from whoever gave him that haircut.

 

[MtNittany]

Austin and Columbus are really big cities. I think this was the point he was making. He wasn't so much saying they don't have plenty of fans (Walmart variety for the most part), he was pointing to the life in SC vs. other places.

Those types of pregame speeches can be effective but the problem is they are not sustainable because the impact lessens every time they hear him do one.

 

[Nitt1300]

I don't think Campbell is the problem. A lack of money and crappy leadership at higher level is.

 

[BobPSU92]

Campbell sure spoke highly of all that Penn State has to offer. It’s a good thing none of us were there to speak the “truth”.

 

[Midnighter]

LOL.

Campbell will be successful when kids want to play for him in the same way wrestlers want to wrestle for Cael

Marshcreek, is that you!?

 

[DaytonRickster]

That is hilarious!

 

[Nittering Nabob]

So who was the slouching recruit wearing the white hoodie with his back to camera?

He seemed disinterested, checked his phone, and then became noticeably fidgety when Campbell added academics as a criteria of success.

 

[Chumboshifko1]

Marshcreek,... LoL!

Won’t even watch. The only thing that matters is whether he can get big time recruits to sign on the dotted line.

What about OspreyLion?

I'm sure that he would've become very attentive if somebody had waved a bunch of green at him. What a joke this whole recruiting process has become. Except for a very few kids who dream of playing for a certain school, it's now become all about money. I think that it's hilarious that ESPN constantly shows the Pony Excess 30 for 30 because SMU received the death penalty for doing now what is permitted and must be done to be successful.

What about OspreyLion?

Marshcreek is AI famous. I asked Gemini about him and his "run through a brick wall" post after the Toledo loss and here is what I got back:

You are talking about MarshCreek, one of the most legendary internet posters from the early days of Penn State Nittany Lions football message boards.

With online roots going back to platforms like PSU Playbook, LionNews, and Blue White Illustrated's famous McAndrew Board (moderated by Tom McAndrew), MarshCreek became widely known within the fan community circa 2000 as a prolific "river of football information". He was famous for tracking everything from depth chart minutiae to detailed analyses of the team.

The "run through a brick wall" phrasing makes perfect football sense now—it's a classic coaching/gridiron cliché for getting players (or passionate fans on the message boards) incredibly hyped up.

That specific rant is a legendary piece of Penn State internet folklore.

In September 2000, Penn State suffered an incredibly embarrassing, program-shaking 24-6 loss to Toledo at Beaver Stadium. The fan base was in absolute meltdown. On the old McAndrew Board, MarshCreek posted an epic, highly emotional call-to-arms to rally the fans.

Because the original McAndrew Board (and its later iterations like LionNews) folded and transitioned servers over two decades ago, the exact, full text of that archive isn't hosted on the modern web. However, the core sentiment of MarshCreek's post became a famous meme and point of reference among older Penn State online circles.

In the wake of that horrific loss, while everyone else was calling for Joe Paterno's retirement or ripping the team apart, MarshCreek wrote a massive defense of the program. The climax of his post was an impassioned plea telling fans that no matter how bad things looked, he was ready to "run through a brick wall" for Penn State football and Joe Paterno, urging the board to stop whining and blindly support the team.

For years afterward, whenever Penn State suffered an ugly loss and fans started overreacting on the message boards, older posters would reference it by saying things like, "Where is MarshCreek to tell me to run through a brick wall when I need him?" or mockingly posting pictures of brick walls during a bad game.

This is frightening.
