Remember the t-shirt that read: My two favorite teams are Penn State and whoever is playing Pitt? Is that the case on Friday night? suffer.gif

Most people that wanted James gone don't hate him...they just wanted a change.
I couldn't care less who wins. The game has zero impact on Penn State.
Neither of those two teams are very good though if we're being honest.
I haven't watched VT this season, but I think that this is Pitt's best team since 2021.

Rooting for the Panthers (lesser evil), but suspect VoTech will win because the ACC seems to love having BGJ.

VT. I wouldn't root for Pitt is they were playing OSU.

How could you possibly root against a Pennsylvania guy with a Penn State heart? Easily - go Pitt (actually, never had an issue with Pitt and as a Western PA guy I liked watching them since they always had a lot of WPIAL guys on the team). Honestly don’t care much either way.

VT loss in a 4 qtr meltdown . Pitt will fall on their own sword at a later date .
Think it’s the first or certainly a rare meeting between two unranked P-4 teams that are both 4-0.

I will pull for VT. I really don't care who Pitt plays, I will never be on their side. Still makes smile when they loose. I will actually record Pitt games so when they loose, I will watch the replay. It is almost as fun as watching a PSU win.

It will be interesting to see if Franklin’s inability to close out games will follow him to Blacksburg. Who knows?

Also, full disclosure: Franklin and I both graduated Neshaminy HS. How this factors into my feelings about Franklin I have no idea, so don’t ask. ;)
Did you tutor him in the math required for deciding when to go for it on 4th down?

IMO PSU was right to fire Franklin but I bear him no ill will. I hope he succeeds wherever he goes.
A successful JF at VT isn't a good thing for Penn State. The optics of JF winning more games at VT than MC winning at PS isn't going to help us at all. Plus, JF will lock down recruiting in the VA/MD area - while MC is out chasing kids in Iowa and Nebraska.
