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

    The problem is that the legacy fans cannot move forward. To be quite honest, it was probably because of the way in which that entire event went down. If Joe goes out on top, at his own will, with no issues, perhaps the legacy fans and heavy donors could part ways easier. However, due to the...

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

    You are spot on. Kraft set the expectation and narrative. The issue is... in my opinion, these coaches that we may or may not land are at the same caliber if not less than BGJ. I don’t think any of the ones discussed on this thread are a SLAM DUNK and National Championship contender coach...

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

    Probably not, because Franklin was not allowed to mention the name Joe Paterno -It was probably written in his contract! However, you get where I'm coming from. The pin, the khakis, the references to Paterno. That is Terry's style, and I think there was some strategy there. Players on his...

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

    Here’s where I stand on the Terry Smith head coach situation: 1. I don’t believe there’s a true “grand slam” coaching option available who would immediately elevate Penn State into national championship contention. Outside of landing someone like Cignetti or Marcus Freeman, most of the current...

    Sean Clifford starts NIL agency

    This is disappointing. I would rather haven seen some headline such as "Clifford works hard all winter to improve his game" or "Clifford is not satisfied and works to improve his game... Wants NFL to be his future" etc. etc. I have said it numerous times and continue to receive flack, but it...

    Interesting how the USFL is doing it's draft....

    I'm not interested in another league like the NFL. I would actually like to see a league even more scripted than the NFL. The XFL has the ability for a huge following if they "mirror" the wresting style environment and energy. Back flips on the field, players doing crazy end zone dances...

    Ohio State claims No. 1 spot in NIL rankings

    I'm not interested in all of this NIL garbage and am slowly losing interest in college football as it becomes more commercialized and a "pay to play" feel. I don't care if Penn State Football ever wins another game. I think we need to turn our focus to the tailgating. Who cares what happens...

    Darkwa in the portal

    “Ach, mist!” now we just cut ties with potential future German players! This will also be disappointing to some of the current PSU players as schnitzel and kasepatzle will no longer be on the team's lunch menu. I wish that ladde luck in the portal and hope he finds success in another program...

    Glad to see someone other than Alabama win the CFP

    After watching those two teams play last night, it made me realize that the Penn State Football program is currently baking cookies and enjoying hot cocoa on planet Pluto. We are light years away from playing at that level. From X's and O's, attention to detail, preparation, athleticism, skill...

    All-American Game: Allar

    That sack was nice. DDS definitely took him down with "authority!" I think he will be a stud! I saw more from Allar from his high school highlight video, but again - due to lack of offensive understanding for the all-star game, player rapport, etc. it is challenging for these guys. I will...

    All-American Game: Allar

    Didn't see much talk about the All-American game. Not sure if many of you tuned in or not? My wife was out doing some grocery shopping and I was supposed to organizing and cleaning up around the house (ok honey...). This allowed me to drink a few beers and tune into the game a bit. I'm not...

    OU QB Caleb Williams offered $1M to transfer to Eastern Michigan (link)

    This is terrible news. My wife is from state college area, and I must say... I much rather prefer Middleswarth rather than UTZ. We do not have Middleswarth over here in Pittsburgh.

    Hopefully CJF gets ahold of UTZ Potato Chips and secure some funds for NIL deals.

    There's no doubt in my mind that Allar might be the starter come Kick-off '22

    Let me start with Villeaux should have been in the bowl game earlier than he was. I actually thought the o-line held their own during the bowl game and gave Clifford the time he needed to make plays. I will say it again and again. I believe Sean has regressed over the past few years. He...

    Jordan St(out) declares for NFL

    Over the past two years... Punts dropping a few yards from the goal line and kickoffs through the end zone have been our most explosive plays -This is no joke. He will have a long career in the NFL. Wish him the best!
