So taking every opportunity to denigrate Franklin isn't "snarky and punky?" Whatever the hell that is. Campbell will be judged on his W-L record. Not how he wears his cap, the size of his office or his policies regarding media availability. His mission is to win more games than Franklin did. If he does, the love fest will continue. If not the infatuation will die an ugly death.
BINGO.

How fascinating watching you degrade our new head coach in favor of the choking loser we had as our last coach. Full circle with your garbage.
Your moronic posts continue unabated. Please show me where in any of his posts or mine we denigrated Campbell. I’ll wait but hell will freeze over first.

I’ll have you know we can dislike Campbell just as much as we dislike BGJ…during the first series. We don’t ‘denigrate’ here, we couch coach better than anyone! Stop defending the predecessor - he wasn’t up to our standards which includes undefeated every year, most draft picks every year, and never punting.
How was he defending the former coach? My God the stupidity on here is beyond the pale.

Damn. I have not seen that many Cs and Ds since my undergraduate days.
But, let's leave my fondness for PSU Sorority girls out of this.....

Only those who take this way too seriously. From my perspective, it appears that what "pisses people off" is anything that doesn't agree with their respective opinions.
No. You ruin the board for all. You constantly divert threads into non stop bickering about the same general topic. I’ll put you on ignore as soon as I finish typing but I’m sure your thread ruining effect will continue to be apparent.

It is? And you know this before any game has been played. Amazing.
Best at practice so far? We do have to trust the staff to get these things right especially after saying (paraphrasing) they would tailor the O and D to the best available talent. But IMO it will take a couple games for that to get worked out. My biggest question is how well can these players play together early.

Reminds me of my boy's basketball coach who went ballistic on a helicopter father who chased him down on Senior Night to complain that his son didn't log enough minutes. The son was a three year starter and a great kid....the father not so much. Coach finally snapped after three years of trying to be diplomatic and let Dad have it...."Mr X, you wouldn't be happy if your son started every game, played every minute, got every rebound and took every shot in the game." Coach played at Syracuse and was about 6'8" and dad quickly realized that discretion was the better part of valor. As for Coach Campbell, I wonder will you love me in December as you loved me in August? 🤔
In all honesty, we have fun criticizing everything here, football or not football. It's therapeutic.

As for Franklin, it was time to go imho. Too up, too down, too many big losses, too many hair-brained football sequences.

Will Campbell be better? Have no idea but he appears to embrace a rugged style of football that we haven't seen for awhile. Maybe he will win more, maybe he won't. Either way, we're still here entertaining ourselves.

Never disputed that a HC change was needed. I may have concerns about the timing and the search but I think it could work out positively for both Franklin and Campbell. But, you don't fire a coach with Franklin's record to see if "possibly" you hired "little Jack Horner." Kraft was very clear about his expectations for the next coach. We are entertaining ourselves.....but the tone won't be so engaging if wins aren't prolific.

When you bring your QB, RB, WRs, TEs and offensive coordinator with you, I don't think there's much tailoring to do.
Defensively, I think the DC at ISU retired, otherwise I think he'd be here instead of DL.

Amazed that yo said that. My memory has that song playing endlessly in the hub cafeteria
If you ever saw her - her eyes eould not be what you noticed first. I was being polite- Reference my comment about Cs and Ds-and focus on the letter that will give you a 1.0 GPA.

Somewhat of a random comment to quit the board over.......and to quit during the week of the first game of the year. You made it through threads like Bolio recipes, Best Foreigner Album, Best long snapper for PSU and the discussions on this years Drum Major......you can make it through this minor skirmish.

Im not putting that old idiot on ignore. I'm putting him in blast after Matt Campbell does everything James Franklin didn't, in less time. He's a jackass who ruins this board and now has added the incredible clown move of hating on THE PENN STATE COACH In favor of supporting a loser who was ran out of State College for damn good reasons. Let's run Marshall off the board for good, and it will be glorious with every single Campbell win, sticking it up his self centered arse

I haven’t read anyone hating on the current Penn State coach…can’t say the same about the previous coach, pretty much from day one.

I don't need to clear ANYTHING up to you. I absolutely loved the Campbell hire from day one, and Marshall is a jackass. There's your clarficatin

so you are a hypocrite- but of course I already knew that, just wanted to demonstrate it

it was ok to hate Franklin, just not to say that Campbell has something to prove

Yeah, but he really doesn't do that. He's usually only responding to someone else who has taken an opportunity to crap on Franklin. Then, yes, he goes nonstop back and forth ... with people who also choose to go nonstop back and forth ... but the reality is, the same people who couldn't stop calling for Franklin's departure for YEARS before he was ultimately fired, are the same ones who can't let Franklin go now, and they're the ones ruining the threads. And if you simply either suggest they stop worrying about Franklin, or you defend Franklin ... regardless of whether or not you indicate support for Campbell & Co. (and, I may have missed it, but I haven't seen anyone NOT support Campbell), you are somehow considered the problem.

That's weird. That's creepy.
