Weird. Just texted friends that this morning as well. Seems he’s still coaching Penn state like they are massive underdogs with a chip, instead of the fringe blue blood that they are. I’m not sure he will last but a few years there. The tone at his press conference seemed very Iowa state to me.
fringe blue blood is what they have been for a very long time and probably will remain.

And just as many times, I've answered to you that it's 2D you should be pleading to, to simply come clean.

He is the one that chose to, and is continuing to choose to treat us in this manner.

I called him out every time he tipped his hand. Also attacked his posts, as I felt he deserved it.

Finally, I just felt sorry for him and offered him a truce if he came clean.

It was a fair offer. And lying to us continues to be 2Disgusting's unfortunate choice.

His choice is also to continue to be called out on this.

So again, it's really strange how you continue to give a hard time to the wrong guy
Stop.

You are embarrassing yourself.

Actually, it's embarrassing to be on any other side than mine here.

This situation is completely of 2D's creation.

We are the victims here.

Clearly, you haven't paid enough attention over the months to realize that.

Which is fine. You don't have to.

But to continue to choose a side, in something that you know nothing about, is quite embarrassing

Don’t know what happened here, but to answer the OP.

If i put a Superman shirt and red cape on does that make me the man of steel?

By firing Franklin, Penn State may have entered the coaching Twilight Zone that Michigan and Nebraska fell into years ago, and it's debatable whether they are out of it yet. Did PSU put Campbell on a short leash?
I really enjoyed the Rich Rod years in Ann Arbor, and I am hoping the Campbell era is similar in Happy Valley.😉 Nebbie Football hasn't been relevant since the 90's....⚰️☠️ They are volleyball school as far as I am concerned. 😎

Nebbers love them some volleyball. Last year they learned basketball basics. Now they know about dribbling and rebounding and such.

Maybe for a brief moment, but once Campbell gets his higher level recruits, Penn State will be a force. They lost their #1 WR prior to Wisconsin game, and I think that effected them a bit more than anticipated.

They'll continue to be a work in progress this year. I'm still glad Iowa doesn't have to play them though. I don't care if Wisconsin beat them. I'd rather play Wisconsin.

Would their #1 receiver have played defense? 17-0 Penn St. lead. Why are you cutting Campbell slack? He **** on ISU, and then took the team with him. He is a snake oil salesman just like the other coached who lie to their teams and employers.
You are afraid of the Penn State name. I wish like hell Penn State was coming to Kinnick instead of Wisc.

Episode 2 Whatever GIF

It's weird for people to start crowning Wisconsin based on one game. Assuming some of PSU's players stayed, those players could very well be better than anyone on Wisconsin.

Penn State used to be a team that could lose it's #1 WR and still have no problem with Wisconsin. I know they lost a lot but with their schedule, being a work in progress is no excuse. Relatively good schedule aside, they still have to play teams a lot better than Wisconsin.

Building a culture. The ISU players will get the culture right at Penn State.

It's hilarious watching some ISMoo fans talk about how impressed they are with Rogers and they already like him better than Campbell.

If they lose 2 of the next 3, which could happen, then he will face early heat. Not in terms of losing his job but just some negative outpouring.

You've said you don't care about the topic of this thread yet you still have to infect it with your usual obnoxious BS.

Seriously dude, move on if you're not interested.
Sign of a true narcissist. Thinks he has to let his thoughts be known as if others care or his opinion is so valued, which it is obviously not.

He’s like guy those dbag people who make comments on articles when someone passes away and writes “who is this person, or never heard of them”. But yet feels obligated to share that to others as if we give a F and adds absolutely zero value.

I agree. Fake tough guy Jimmy winning them over with 2 moral victories.

I think Campbell is a better coach and good coach in general for what he did there. But it is funny now isu fans see how they’d do on big 10. When use to make claim the SOS claim and big 12 was just as tough to play in. As frustrating as it was to see Iowa playing down to them with close games last decade that we still got better end on Campbell. We are seeing how when you take the top end guys from isu and play in big 10 now how they look. It wlll be interesting to see how Campbell does with upgraded talent from recruiting but honeymoon is officially over for him with that L last week.

Their fan base doesn't seem to believe in long honeymoons.

Maybe if Matt brings back the old black ISU home jerseys, Nittany Lions fans will love that.

What was thought to be an easy schedule is looking pretty perilous right now to all the clown deserters. The game against the Cats will be fun to watch, if Iowa doesn't play at the same time.
Their game against NW is Friday night at 8pm, so no issue.
