    Not hard to see Campbell is bulking up in the trenches like many have wanted for years...

    In 2024 the defensive line had: Coziah Izzard - 6'3" 305 Dvon J-Thomas - 6"1 305 Hakeem Beamon - 6'3" 296 It's not like Penn State hasn't had big bodies on the defensive line. And has produced multiple defensive ends that are making big money in the NFL. Not just Carter and Parsons.....Chop...

    Some won't believe stats placed right in front of their faces. This is excellent information but will be ignored by most

    Beaver Stadium wrestling match

    I would put the chances at maybe 5%. Can’t do it in the fall because it would ruin the field during football season. It’s too cold after football season.

    B1G Meet & Greet

    I'm not sure the details but there was a Hospitality Pass between sessions to go to Pegula that included drinks and food as an alternative to leaving to head to restaurants downtown. With student break there may be staffing issues at the regular hot spots in town.

    Penn State hires Kashif Moore as next WR coach

    This sounds a lot like what Iowa says......."we don't recruit stars, we develop talent". That plan doesn't beat Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon and most likely won't beat USC and Indiana. 3 start talent gives a lot of feel good stories but not a lot of high level performers.

    Props to The Mark Lesko Podcast

    Guy is so typical of so many people making podcasts and tik tok videos.......he would piss down his leg if he had to face Franklin or any of the other players he criticizes. In fact I crossed his path one time (I immediately recognized him from his podcast) and watched him strut around with...

    Just HOW BAD was Franklin and O'Brien's coaching at the QB position?

    Hack's downfall was having to QB behind an offensive line that was the worst unit on the team. O'Brien didn't recruit offensive lineman and Franklin inherited a team without enough scholarship lineman to field a unit and had to convert defensive lineman. Franklin got criticized for Hack's...

    Insider interview regarding 2025 season

    All you Franklin haters lap this **** like it is gospel. Two players out of over 100 can't speak for the entire team. You could write this very article about every football program.......NIL isn't fair, better players aren't playing enough, coach is mean and has favorites, throw in some...

    Josh Heupel

    Gotta give him credit for holding the line with Nico over the NIL and salvaging the season with Aguilar. This could very easily been a lost year and he has managed to keep them very competitive in the SEC.

    Is it Urban Meyer? I hope so.

    The sentiment that Joe was regularly beating Ohio State is not based on reality, unfortunately. Joe's record vs Ohio State was 8-14 overall. When Ohio State was ranked top 5 he was 0-9. His record for the balance of the games when playing a Ohio State team not in the top 5 was 8-5. Some...

    Does anyone WANT the job?

    The only one of your "suggestions" that is remotely close to choosing Brady or another Coordinator with no experience is Lanning. And Lanning took over a good situation when Cristobal went back to Miami (I'm thinking he may be regretting that choice) Freeman was elevated, Day was elevated...

    Something to watch for on Saturday...

    Frank Leonard retired after last season. He reminded me of a drill instructor type, a get in your face coach. He would tear in to the lineman, I guess like the bad cop to Traut's good cop personality. I have thought that part of the struggles with the offensive line was losing Leonard...

    Pulsed the Lettermen…

    I hope you didn't "pulse" letterman from the last 25 years because there wasn't a whole lot of bullying been happening. Other than a few seasons between 2005 and 2009 the best stretch for winning has been since 2015. Yes, 2 rough years during Covid but otherwise the Letterman who are...

    OT: I’m not loving the “All-Conference” designations under our user names in the threads.

    I was hoping for First Round Draft Choice designation but I'm just a lowly Redshirt. According to the profile I've only been a member since 2003

    Opinions on Michigan Punishment

    The only thing that I want is them to have a 2 year bowl ban. That would impact recruiting as players wouldn't be able to go to bowls, and that would effect the program being able to bring in players looking to go to the playoffs. That would have a bigger impact that a fine or even a...
