    2027 Recruiting Thread

    For everyone spouting off about "3 stars" I don't think you are taking into account the change the program underwent and the change in the entire recruiting landscape. You understand we have a GM now? Whats the point of filling your roster with expensive 5 star high school seniors that may not...

    Your way too early season prediction?

    Yeah, I'd be pretty disappointed with 8 wins or less considering the schedule. If we brought in Rocco to be an 8 win QB, id just question why we paid him what we likely did and why, considering his experience, he wouldn't have opted for somewhere else. Our talent didn't really perform last year...

    Tips for a golfing newbie

    I have a different view of golf than many, I started like everyone having no idea about anything, playing golf courses, losing 1000 balls and my mind. After doing that for 2 years and realizing that golf is actually miserable if you suck at it(Credit to those on here that say they just love the...

    Great SI article - How Terry Smith's Role Has Changed, and Even Grown, at Penn State

    I liked James, I don't want to bash him, there has been plenty of that....but one theme that always keeps resonating...whether being prickly with fans or media...shrinking in big moments, the long stares....he is a very insecure person. I think he suffered from bouts of "imposter syndrome" and...

    2027 Recruiting Thread

    Its clearly too early to tell, but just a really broad thought re Campbell and recruiting. The things I think I like about him as a coach aren't necessarily aligned with big recruiting splashes. Disciplined, earnest, honest....nobody is bigger than the team. I feel like these recruits want...

    Rutgers Athletics bleeding red ink

    Clearly this sport needs to fracture into teams that are capable of competing...er, affording to compete and schools that just don't need the headache. Its a total drain on the state tax payers, the school, the academic mission to be losing this kind of revenue on teams that frankly aren't any...

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

    It just took becoming part of the media for Saban to be totally full of Sh*t. The stunt he pulled with James about how terrible it was for them to fire such a successful coach was really something....everyone knows if Sabans teams had the history of PSU under Franklin the OC/DC would be fired...

    Gotta give franklin his flowers....what magic. Franklin would have chose death instead of giving this kid a meaningful snap, coupled with our terrible WR development and the kid follows him to VT. Unreal stuff

    Are we losing the portal contest?

    I'ts gonna be a different type of team for sure and I am excited about that while giving Franklin his flowers for being successful with his own type of roster/players. This team is going to have serious size, gonna take shots down the field. I think these young coaches are highly competitive and...

    Ever since Trace, Franklin became obsessed with running the QB's......running constant QB draws with clifford and allar was malpractice, even if it worked from time to time. I really like Grunk, shame he wants the abuse in Franklin's system.

    Yeah, im sure I'll take heat for this, but "diss culture" is just code for "i didnt get what I want, when I wanted it, how I wanted it." Some call this "life" others call it disrespect. What I do believe iss that you dont want a bunch of "diss culture" guys on your team, which is maybe why Amare...

    We almost beat Indiana with Dom Deluca on one side. Not saying all players are going to be plug and play for big ten championships, but I think its more about right size, right motivations, and development than big names....at this point. Indiana is going to start to attract big names, because...

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

    Nope, no guarantees in any of it, but I think the GM's thinking is "I'd rather get 3 picks than pay for 1" and for a team that has to turn around a lot of the roster, it seems like a pragmatic approach. Penn State might not be in a position to pay a linebacker(3rd string all big ten) what he...

    Right LB, that's the essence of my argument. That's the answer to "why not pay Amare what he wants to stay?" We need to spread those dollars around to 2 or 3 position players and can't dedicate what Amare thinks his value is to one LB.

    I thought that was something made public by Kraft, it could be 20M or 30M or 40M, the point remains, there is not UNLIMITED resources for players...anywhere. Amare is right to leave if he thinks he is undervalued and Penn State is right to give him an offer they are comfortable with. Just like...
