During the Clemson v VaTech broadcast, they just said that VaTech is off to their best start at 5-2 since 2017..... and talking about how Franklin has righted the ship and has them excited again in Blacksburg.
They were so excited to lose to Pitt & Cal with both playing their backup QBs

I’m happy for them that they’re happy with losses to Pitt and Cal.

It’s great to watch the chaotic games when it’s not us and has no impact on us.
Other than it sucks that we aren’t a part of any big games or winning in an upset (hell, winning any game for that matter).

Even when we are good, we never win those games. I like exciting games that I have zero connection to. Love PSU football more than anything but games can be stressful.

Campbell has yet to beat a P4 team - he's 0-4 against P4 teams, so you might want to worry more about Door Matt than sPitt and Cal.
I don’t worry about either like you obviously do; I’m not being paid to worry about whether a college football team wins or loses games, and my life doesn’t revolve around it like it seems it does for many others. If you’re proud of the former coach for beating teams like VMI, Old Dominion, Maryland, BC and GT, then good for you; Brent Pry probably would’ve won most if not all of those games too.

Neither is Campbell apparently.

Really odd. UCLA undefeated and you would expect the fans would respond with a sellout.
When have UCLA fans cared about football? 1987 & 88 when they had Aikman?
Yes, they're undefeated and beat Oregon (which is even less impressive today) which should have created momentum but Nico is out and I don't think anyone really believes in UCLA.
Doesn't mean they can't make the playoff due in part to their schedule but kudos to Chesney for winning games he should. Not many are doing that this year.

Oregon on a 2025 PSU trajectory. Started season ranked #2 and struggling. Fallen completely out of rankings. Lanning on the hot seat with all that NIL investment failing?
Maybe Nike should pump another 10 or a 100 million dollars into the program; they’re really getting a great return on their investment. But the uniforms are unique and whacky, so they still have that.

Couldn't happen to a bigger ***....
He may be an *** but he'll have another job in about 30 seconds--doesn't mean Oregon shouldn't fire him but he'll be just fine
Hell, he might coaching at Texas if they don't start winning--beginning tonight

Lanning's biggest mistake that might get him fired was signing Raiola. Already had Dante Moore and thought paying Raiola for 2 seasons would pay off in 2027--that's looking like a huge mistake
