    Obviously, he is trying to reference UCLA. That said, a (semi) interesting tidbit, IMO: Since the west coast teams joined the Big Ten - the "home field advantage" for west coast teams hosting other Big Ten programs, is HUGE. (And, as one would expect, a similar - but not so large - home field...

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

    Yep, The chance that the move was initiated by Dr B are approximately 0.0%

    Agreed. Though I don't think "acting like they belong" among the group of OSU, Michigan, Oregon etc is "asking too much". Given what PSU spends, expecting to be "in that group" should be the minimum expectation. Now, the jibber about "National Championships" being the standard? That was just...

    Well: Either the facts lie, or that contention is nonsense. Ranked teams played: 1966-1969: PSU 8 (Michigan 9, OSU 9) 1970s: PSU 31 (Michigan 26, OSU 30) 1980s: PSU 40 (Michigan 42, OSU 31) Total: PSU 79 Michigan 77 OSU 70

    True. Except, he didn't (since he was never offered). Unless you also think Franklin "turned down" USC and all those other programs too. And, of course, he took the PSU job (not just had talks) before ISU's season was over. Jeebzus. Other than that.... yep. Not that it matters FWIW, the...

    Well, as to that silly trope: 1) There were, IIRC, 3 P4 hires made before ISU's season ended - Virginia Tech, Stanford, and Oklahoma State. All the rest, IIRC, came after. 2) Even if one still wants to posit the "won't look until after season is over" trope: Campbell DID leave ISU before their...

    And ASU did it even more so last year - when their QUARTERBACK ran for well over 200 all by himself. In any event, it will be a new DC (Lynn) for PSU this year - and, hopefully, more talent than what ISU had the last few years (though it looks like a decent part of the defense will be ISU...

    Wasn't the claim made that the new ADIDAS deal was going to yield an extra $20 Million a year in "NIL" $? (And PlayFly, Roar+ and every one of those other "new deals" orchestrated by PK and his buds?) Either PSU ICA is "swimming in money" (as some claimed) or someone's been selling snake oil...

    T Wright's rebuild job just got a lot tougher. On the plus side, she's got nowhere to go but up (literally)

    There were 19 new college football coaches hired before Penn State hired Campbell (12 of those hires at P4 programs, 7 at mid-majors) Campbell was not a serious contender - or even a consideration - at any of those other P4 jobs After Campbell was hired, there were 10 more new hires (9, all but...
