You and Bob have absolutely no sense of humor if you didn’t at least appreciate the photoshopping abilities of the people who created those images.
I thought they were innocuously humorous
You and Bob seem a little too tight (and perhaps light) in your panties.
Bob has perhaps the best sense of humor on this board. I appreciate his sense of humor. I also appreciate his post to take the high road. If you can’t appreciate it, that’s on you.
Sorry hater but Franklin’s mantra since he got here has been go 1-0 and take it game by game. There are only so many ways and times any coach can tell players don’t dwell on a tough loss or take any team lightly. Impossible to tell which players will respond positively to adversity when they are recruited. But thanks for the lame comment. Do me a favor: go watch the game again and get back to me about the lack of effort.
Oh just stop with the BS. Oh boy lots of recruits won championships in high school. BFD.
Never said the head coach was above everything just that this loss was on the players. I guess they would have been motivated if somrone else gave them a pep talk.
You're an all time moron. I never said the players didn't play hard, you selectively took that section out of my comments. I was responding to a poster that said the loss to UCLA was strictly on the feet of the players which is laughable considering the multitude of coaching lapses.
James Franklin is well past his sell by date. He should have been canned at least 5 years ago, but all the fanboys on McAndrew made the excuses for him... sanctions, receivers, no talent, no money for coaches, facilities, new carpeting, you name it. It was never any of that; Franklin, like O'Brien, was never given the job based on merit. The Franklin experiment failed, past time to move on.
To the contrary unlike you I am not a mindless everything is Franklin’s fault sheep like you. Go watch the game again and get back to me with your assessment of the “effort” the players showed in the first half. Maybe you guys are right and Franklin should be fired. With any kind of luck there will be lots of better qualified candidates available like Belicheck, Sarkisian, Lincoln Riley not to mention the haters all time favorites: Matt Rhule and Greg Schiano. I can hardly wait.
There is one person responsible for the effort and that is Franklin. If he can’t get the most from the players he brought in and coaches then he needs to go.
Just the opposite. The coaching staff made a bunch of dumb decisions in the game.
I agree about the players role. There’s no question they showed no leadership, no fire, and no pride last Saturday.
That said, I can’t just excuse the coaches. It’s the their responsibility to get the team ready to play. Turning 1 loss into 2 has become a Franklin specialty over the years. It’s not new. He’s never fixed the problem. He showed little emotion on the sideline Saturday. He showed no ability to motivate his team that still had everything to play for. He just seemed to stand there and clap for them as they came off the field after giving up another UCLA touchdown. This team has problems from top to bottom.
It would be really funny if Franklin won out, including a NATTY. 
, just to spite us. The OUTRAGE. here would be EPIC. .

That’s pure go State beat hens rhetoric and super unhelpfulIt would be really funny if Franklin won out, including a NATTY.
We are a 3 pt dog to the hens on a neutral field per Vegas
Can Kraft really treat this as a coaches or players thing at this point? The facts are that CJF can't win the big games for PSU. He admitted it was fact. This felt like a put up or shut up season. I really wanted him to succeed this year, and actually believed it could have happened. Up to now, the argument was that PSU didn't have sufficient resources. There were also the remarks after losing to OSU in 2018 that the team was not elite. These arguments aren't sufficient anymore. A ton of money was dumped into the players, coaches and facilities. The performance for the first 3 games was underwhelming. The team looked unready for Oregon after 2 weeks to prepare and lost. The team lost to 0-4 UCLA the next week. Isn't this consistent with past performance? Past losses to OSU followed by let down games? Its not an aberration. I hoped this year would change things. Maybe there's a good explanation that will satisfy Kraft, but we're not privy to it if there is.

Hey, it may be unfair but I think the head coach has to take the hit for this year. I thought he admitted it was on him because he is the head coach. Its too similar to his past performance and team letdowns against MSU after losses to OSU in 2017 and 2018.
Well I got hammered for taking the points not about Franklin. Hope I didn't start something again. lol
He owns homes in Fla CO and WA ST. Are those states he wouldn't mind coaching in?
Dabo is that Billy Goat fighting with that granite boulder. Those who can't accept change will get left behind.
