    Michael Robinson was a top 100 4- star prospect. He was evaluated as an athlete, and most recruiting sites projected him as a probable safety. Robinson chose PSU because JoePa promised him a shot at QB.

    It was the same game. tOSU had been playing a zone which had a soft spot behind the corner and in front of the safety. Late in the game, tOSU started dropping the corner back into the soft spot. Anthony didn't pick it up and ended up throwing 2 pick-sixes. The first one was on Anthony. Jay...

    That was a coach for the AZ Cardinals with whom Morelli signed as a free agent. The Cardinals cut him fairly early into training camp. He had tremendous physical measurables and overall was a decent D1 quarterback. What he lacked were the instincts that separate QBs from being next level. One of...

    Confirmation of football underachievement?

    No, I didn't. You can't read. It was based on records versus ranked teams.

    Confirmation of football underachievement?

    Let me see. 68 teams are profiled. PSU ranks number 27, ISU ranks number 37. So out of the 68 teams, there is only a spread of 10. If we look at winning percentage, PSU is at 16/47 = 34.0%, ISU is at 14/48 = 29.2%. So given the relative perception and actual historical success of the two teams...

    Considering that Iowa State is Iowa State, count me in as being impressed. They are not that far behind historical blue blood PSU.

    Radiohead. Yes, I cheated. I have great admiration for Bob Baffert and Patrick Reed. An unseasoned dish is much better than starving:)

    We Are Better, 5/1/26, WR, TN, Class of '27

    Isn't that how Pitt found Hugh Green. They were evaluating tape on Rooster Jones, and they kept seeing this other player making plays all over the field. Jones turned out to be a decent running back for Pitt and Green is in the Hall of Fame.

    Terry Smith on Drew Allar: “Our system wasn’t built for him.”

    tOSU dual of the century - deja vu

    I still remember Tan Tom near the end of the match red faced and yelling at Kolin Moore. I don't know what he was saying, but I imagine it was along the lines of, "I bought robes and you embarrass me".

    I am going to say it.....

    Regardless of who gets hired, timing is an issue. The recruiting class is gone, and the roster will potentially be devastated in the transfer portal. Even the most competent individual will not succeed if put in an impossible situation. Sort of like asking the best bucket brigade firemen in the...

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

    That is a possibility, under what statute or case law precedent would it not be allowed?
