    And, of course, the sure way for the Book to make money is to get (approximately) even $$$ on both sides. Obviously.

    Who would you want as PSU AD?

    They would likely do something that stupid. I agree. It is a tradition and culture at PSU now. You measure the quality of your decision by how much you waste invest :-)

    Post game thoughts (some obvious, some where I disagree with most posters)

    Sure. If you conveniently omit the part where the TE is running his route, cutting outside of Neal, and Neal jumps out in front of him (a defensive holding penalty... the rule is "defensive holding", but it is really impeding the receiver) Play in question is at the 4:28 mark of video: The...

    Would be "less bad":

    Is it just me, but are ticket sales lagging?

    A large portion of the student section is there primarily to get a Tik-Tok video at the White Out (is Tik-Tok still a venue for 20 year olds? Instagram? Whatever, you get the gist) This ain't your Father's Penn State student body :-) FWIW, PSU ICA has been trying to practically give away...

    Who would you want as PSU AD?

    LOL I was just talking about what you gain by getting rid of him. If you REPLACE him, with someone competent, you probably gain a lot more :). Of course, that's a big IF with PSU's track record on high-profile hires. FWIW, PK will be the highest paid AD in the nation this year (unless some...

    It was the right call. #31, Neal, comes over in man coverage and tries to grab/tackle him as he is running his route. Neal is not good in coverage, FWIW, this year and at ISU.

    Who would you want as PSU AD?

    Of course he "does things" He runs that department. No one else does. Do you think Neeli runs it? That said: You certainly wouldn't lose anything (of value) if he is gone. What would you gain? 1) $3 Million+ per year (his comp - which, this coming year, will include an additional $1 million...

    I wrote and was speaking specifically of the CBs. Safetys are another issue. IIRC, one TD was a 70+ yard play were the safety got tooled ( a safety who can't cover anyone). And then a corner couldn't bring down that big TE. I'd have to go back and take a fresh look at the full drive for the...

    Time to face reality

    Agreed and Agreed Pointing out that even in the "good" year it was a very "top heavy" level of success. A few programs that did very well - and scads of programs that were bottom-feeders One should also be aware, as I expect you are, that there are some sports, where making a Final Four...

    Hard to argue with any of that - aside from possible feeling it HAS to get better. It couldn't get worse - could it? I will say that the key for NW has been the play of their QB (Chiles, who transferred in from MSU) AND The one thing PSU has shown, is they have CBs who can cover decent WRs...

    PSU's placement in all Big Ten sports in the 2024-25 Sports season, FWIW: Average for Men's Sports: 8th of 13 Big Ten competitors in 14 Big Ten mens' sports that PSU competes in Average for Women's Sports: 9th of 16 Big Ten competitors in 13 Big Ten womens' sports that PSU competes in Not...

    Is that true? It was "7" AFTER the completion of last weekend's games?? I honestly don't know - but that is such a huge and rare swing.

    Ouch! That game was worse than one might have thought.

    Given "who plays who" in the Big Ten, more than 3 10-2 (or better) teams is nearly impossible (It COULD happen, but would be very unlikely) I can't imagine less than 3 Big Ten teams getting in. That is pretty much my end game for feeling 10-2 in the Big Ten is in. Would they have SIX SEC teams...

    Not an unrealistic plan, IMO. Though I think there are other legit concerns/thoughts/philosophies as well.
