Still can't believe Locks had the Terps up 20 and came away with another off bye week loss. Getting ready to get smoked by Great Value Mahomes next week.



Rest of the schedule lookin like a toss up or outright loss.

Those are names. Those were not good teams in those years

2011
Ole Miss 2-10
UK 5-7

2012
Mizzou 5-7
AU 3-9
UK 2-10
Ole Miss 7-6
UT 5-7

2013

UGA. 8-5
UF 4-8
UK 2-10
UT 5-7

So we in agreement the sec has bad teams too

Trust and believe, if the right boosters get pissed off enough, the collection plate is getting passed around, and they're coming up with that 50. They're just not convinced it's worth it yet. Hard to see that being the case much longer, though.

Ain’t that much change laying around, plus, add staff payouts, plus a good amount to grab the next coach, and his staff, you are looking at a 100 M’s

The problem with Franklin's 9 or 10 wins every year is that he's absolutely taking advantage of how imbalanced the B1G is and he even extended the finesse to not scheduling anyone tough in the OOC.

Franklin would not be winning 9 or 10 games every year if he was in a conference with better coaches and talent week to week.

Maybe he’s at his ceiling, but no you can’t just get someone new to do that, every time you switch coaches you are just finding a different way to lose, look this ain’t it, and I’d imagine PSU is getting tired of being on the cusp, but firing him to get who ?? Who’s out there that’s better

Texas has to win out to probably make the playoffs

Penn State is done.. probably go to the rent a center bowl and franklin fired after that

You also gotta look at it from the standpoint of….

This is who Penn State has been for the last 30 something years

From 1995 to 2011 under Joe Pa, Penn State only had 5 10 win seasons, only 3 BCS/Major Bowl appearances, and 2 shares of the Big Ten title. In addition, there was also a stretch from 2000 to 2004 where they had 4 losing seasons.

Since James Franklin has taken over. Penn State has had 6 10 win seasons, 7 NY6/CFP bowl appearances, and a Big Ten title, and only one losing season so far

I’m not saying that James Franklin isn’t a big game choker cause he absolutely is, especially considering the talent he’s accumulated but sometimes we look at Penn State as something that they’re not, kind of like in that Notre Dame or Texas A&M type realm.

It would be a risk getting rid of someone who can recruit and has had them on the cusp of a National Title game for an unknown.

On the other hand, maybe they’re a Georgia that needs their Kirby Smart, but idk.
