A sage coach once said "you are never as bad as you look when you lose, nor as good as you look when you win."
PSU football is only a win today vs. a very poor Michigan team from the BWICAC declaring the second resurrection. CMC will again be touted as a man of unique talents who took chicken **** and turned it into chicken salad. Have faith!

And as a fan of Philadelphia Sports, it doubly sucks lately.
Maybe something in the air or water.

We’ll never do it, but I’d offer PK a choice: save face by resigning to “focus on family” and settle for a couple mil OR we fire you for cause, don’t pay you another dime, make it very public why you were fired for cause, and force him to lawyer up to get a settlement. Unlikely he will land another job after that.
Or do it the corporate way and put him in a small office while someone else does his job until he leaves to save the embarrassment.

Are we at an all-time low for PSU athletics?

Football sucks. We’ve gone beyond regressing two years removed from the playoff semifinal.

Men’s Hockey is off to a lousy start and has regressed now two years removed from the Frozen Four.

Women’s Volleyball has regressed in the two years since the NATTY. o_O .

Basketball? Jesus.

Outside of wrestling, it’s all sh|t.

Maybe we need a new AD. 🤔
It's not about winning. It's about student athletes.

The corporate way is to give you a meager severance and walk your butt out the door. We need to do away with these asinine 8-10 year guaranteed contracts in college sports with no accountability for performance. This goes for coaches, ADs, presidents, etc.

Don't know how, when or where it all started, but with the exception of mens wrestling Penn States athletic programs are in the toilet. We stink!

I'll bet we don't. I see no indication of change.

I have to think it’s lurking under the surface and growing. They have a massive stadium renovation to pay for and his mishandling of the coaching transition and search put us at an extreme disadvantage for this year, which will have a multi year run-on effect. It’s going to impact ticket sales. How can there not be pressure to win and win now?

I will admit that I was shocked at how the fan base really showed up last week for the whiteout, but ours is a fan base that is very low on remaining Goodwill. It was time to move on from JF, but you don’t do that flying by the seat of your pants like PK did.

IF PSU doesn't find money to at least be top 12 in NIL they will be doomed to .500 football in conference.

You mean the ones who “deserve better”.
You mean the ones who “deserve better”.
Most "fans" deserve better, but the reality is everyone can't win as much as "fans" want. Life isn't fair, so "fans" need to suck it up and accept that fact. No one likes losing but life dictates that everyone will experience more losing than winning so everyone has 2 choices: accept that fact and be a "fan" rip, shiit or bust or bemoan the fact that the team(s) aren't meeting that "fans" expectations while whining and complaining. I think everyone feels they "deserve better" but that's not how life plays out, for the most part.

The ones doing the most whining are trolls who have nothing to do with Penn State.

How hard does Kraftwerk Kraft work? For what he gets paid, what does he do other than attend PSU sporting events? Watch the budget to make sure his pockets are filled? Watch the stadium renovation? Rub shoulders and other things with well-heeled alums? He doesn’t do much hiring and firing. What does he do?

Cael is the only one really knocking it out of the ballpark and is literally the only real flex we have to brag about. The rest of the teams are meh and many should be cut
