    '25 (in-season) - '26 CFB Portal Thread

    More and more convinced as the weeks go by: Franklin created a player-friendly, zero-accountability atmosphere for his guys, and that's what a lot of them want. "Oh, I don't have to practice? Don't have to go to class? I get a private room? Awesome. That's my coach." VaTech just cut JMU a check...

    New Coaching Staff

    Yeah, and I was careful to say they deserve a chance, while pointing out the potential issues that come with nepotism. Interesting that you brought up Paterno. Did you not pick up on the hint I dropped? Paterno hired his own son, who had no business being a coach at Penn State. As for...

    New Coaching Staff

    So, Knowles, Kotelnicki, and O'Brien are all gone, and I can't say I'm broken up about any of them leaving. I was excited for the Matt Campbell hire, but there are some potential issues brewing. As a head coach, the first duty needs to be to the program, not your buddies. I certainly hope Matt...

    Who do you think the opt outs will be for the Pinstripe Bowl?

    Yeah, that's very true. But Singleton has had an incredibly disappointing year. He has utterly destroyed his draft stock. I think in his position, you have to take whatever you can get. Nick also turned down a lot of money to portal to other programs that were interested in him. So, he might...

    Who do you think the opt outs will be for the Pinstripe Bowl?

    I wouldn't be surprised in Allen opts out because I don't see that there's anything in it for him. I will, however, be surprised if Singleton opts out. Singleton is looking at being a 6th round draft pick at this point, at best. He almost HAS to play, IMO, unless he just doesn't want to play...

    Did anyone mention Playland? RIP.

    Erasing the good at PSU.

    Talked to the owner of Hi-Way shortly after they re-closed their spot next to McLanahan's. She told me there was some bizarre discrepancy with the building's owner where the lease was coming up, and Hi-Way was prepared to re-sign, and then the owner just pulled it without notice. No contact. No...

    You can still get stickies at the Creamery, right?

    Official PSU - Nebraska '25 game thread

    This was the best game the team has played all year... ...and in a way, the most depressing. I did not expect a win, let alone a blow out, and yet, that is what we got. It's a reminder of what this team could have, and probably should have been this year. And now you look back at what might...

    Do you want PSU to hire Terry Smith as Head Coach?

    Terry Smith is the all-sentiment, zero-logic choice for head coach. Terry simply does not have the connections necessary to build a program of this caliber. Penn State needs to hire someone a) younger, b) with more of a track record than a being a position coach, c) who has connections to other...

    Welp... back out there, but... does he look like he's stepping a bit gingerly?

    Don't think Kaytron is coming back. After he seemingly had the record, but got called for the penalty.

    Official PSU - MSU '25 Game thread

    I just now saw Coach Terry's post-game presser following the win over MSU. I'm sure this has been discussed heavily already but... wow. Terry's not gonna be head coach next year, but at that moment, you can't help but root for him. You'd be hard pressed to find any head coach at any program who...
