It's time for the BoT hedging to end. No more the time isn't right, people will be upset, and their other excuses and plain bullsh-it. Honor Paterno properly and produce the statue.
You really think not being born yet would stop an evildoer like Franklin?That’s preposterous. He was not even born yet.

But truly, Franklin avoided our past like the plague.
I read articles and listened to some interviews with former players. Yeah, it’s not that Franklin explicitly banned Paterno era lettermen. James just didn’t make them feel welcome and didn’t make any overtures to the different generations as Campbell has. The lettermen greatly appreciate the love from Campbell and reintegration into the PSU football family. Again, I am one that greatly appreciated what James did to bring the program out of the abyss of the sanctions. I just wish he would’ve been more accommodating to our past and more active in helping to bring the entire PSU football family back together. It would’ve gone a long way in his relationship with the fanbase. Will be better off with Campbell, but I wish Franklin well at VT.
So don't watch.
Notre Dame was excluded from playoff selection, not due to losses but a weak schedule with no wins vs top ranked teams. Both Ohio State and Oregon had 1 loss during the regular season. That loss was to the national champion.ND, Ohio State and Oregon lost two games last year. Anybody with a brain knows that PSU is going to lose games this season and should be prepared for it. Unless this team plays totally listless football like they did for most of the first two months last season, or looks totally chaotic, I would hope that people don't jump off of the bandwagon because of some losses.
Excellence at the highest level.Yeah but I thought Kraft said the “standard” was winning Big and National Championships. Hmmm
PSU came within one game of playing for a NC in 2024 with a team that had lost two games before the playoffs. In college football these days, the majority of teams that make the playoffs is going to have multiple losses.
I wasn’t one of those people. Also, while I said that after the events that transpired last season, it was time for both parties to part their ways, I’ve always said that he did a good to sometimes very good job.Yeah, but all the folks like you wanted Franklin fired before, during and after that season ... because it wasn't good enough.
I wasn’t one of those people. Also, while I said that after the events that transpired last season, it was time for both parties to part their ways, I’ve always said that he did a good to sometimes very good job.
However, he only had one playoff appearance from 2016, when the program finally stabilized, to 2024 and wouldn’t have had one in 2025, and went 1-10 against OSU, which would’ve gone to 1-11 if he had coached in last year’s game; that’s just not good enough. Finally, after the Oregon loss and the ridiculous UCLA and Northwestern games last season and the vitriol towards him, a lot of which was underserved, my guess is that he would’ve left PSU on his own accord after the season if he hadn’t been dismissed.
Didn’t the NEPSAC move to 7v7 football?Are these the same insider sources that told you the MA Catholic Leagues were higher level comp than the NEPSAC squads?

I’m on record wanting him fired the day after he was hired from Vandy.Yeah, but all the folks like you wanted Franklin fired before, during and after that season ... because it wasn't good enough.
I thought the NEPSAC o-linemen averaged 5’10” 175?Yeah, all the P4 recruits in NEPSAC decided they wanted to play two-hand touch rather than get blasted by 5'10" 175lb. LBs in the Catholic League.
Saw a thread on Reddit about this. Pitt fans crawling all over it of course.
What really rankles me is Ohio State fans piling on when that campus has Epstein’s best buddy Lex Wexner ALL over it. Now that guy really needs to burn in hell
You must hate being you.Notre Dame was excluded from playoff selection, not due to losses but a weak schedule with no wins vs top ranked teams. Both Ohio State and Oregon had 1 loss during the regular season. That loss was to the national champion.
This team has nothing to do with last year's PSU team. A new coaching staff and 25 handpicked veteran players from ISU. No excuses. PSU doesn't play the top 3 teams in the conference. It is likely every single team they play will have at least 3 losses.
Excellence at the highest level.
Who are those lettermen of whom you speak and where and when did you interview them? Nothing in your post remotely supports your claim that Franklin would oppose this exhibit. Franklin paid homage to Paterno at his initial press conference. As far as your 99.9% comment when did you take a poll? Franklin brought back Connors and other former players as coaches and administrators.
Oh look, it’s this weird guy with his multiple handles, liking his own posts that once again take the conversation way off topic. It’s so creepy and sad. Doesn’t even change his writing style from one persona to the next.99.9... this is a scientific poll or just the fanboy point of view. Project the percentage should PSU lose vs Wisky.
The bandwagon is crowded for the coach who hasn't coached LOL
You and Chumbot should spend less time listening to the voices in your head.Oh look, it’s this weird guy with his multiple handles, liking his own posts that once again take the conversation way off topic.

Actually what I dislike is having to correct totally false or partially correct information from intellectually challenged people. I do wonder what lashing out at me says about you?You must hate being you.
Nostradumbass.I’m on record wanting him fired the day after he was hired from Vandy.
I already knew the guy was a walking talking fraud.
It’s a tad sad that it took you and others so long (10 years) to prove me correct.
Why do you use multiple handles and have conversations with yourself? Is it because nearly everyone has your handles on ignore, so you have no one to talk to?You and Chumbot should spend less time listening to the voices in your head.
Please list my handles. Do you always feel surrounded? There may be medications that can help you with your paranoia.Why do you use multiple handles and have conversations with yourself? Is it because nearly everyone has your handles on ignore, so you have no one to talk to?
You already responded to the ones I pointed out in this thread—did you forget already?Please list my handles. Do you always feel surrounded? There may be medications that can help you with your paranoia.
So you are just making feces up. You can't name another handle that is allegedly me. You are intellectually incapable of understanding that there could be more than one person who frequents here that is not into groupthink. Look it up! It effectively describes the concurrent seeking that has become the dominant theme of this forum.You already responded to the ones I pointed out in this thread—did you forget already?
You’re very transparent, bud. It’s not hard to see that when you’re posting, it’s when your other handles are posting the same exact trash and liking each others post. Then, when you’re offline, they all magically stop lol. You bombard the board with a flurry of dumb@ss comments.
But do you notice how I’m one of the only real people responding to you? It’s because everyone else put you and your handles on ignore.
I always wondered if pnny just had multiple personalities and ensured each one had the same level of crazy in there.Talk bad about Jimmy and out come the multiple handles for some
F ‘em. I’m off to the gym wearing my Penn State shirt.Saw a thread on Reddit about this. Pitt fans crawling all over it of course.
