It's not mind reading--ultimately college football is about winning--Lanning does that. Our base can pretend otherwise but we would have loved Urban if he came here as well--again, until he lost games

Joe was transparent--there's no mind reading.

Your love for Penn State is contingent on the coach--it's adorable that you want anyone to believe that.
Where Joe was concerned it was about winning with honor. You seem to be with the crowed that threw the honor part out. You sir are by far in the minority on this subject. Most fans I talk to are on the opposite side of the fence from you.

I acknowledge I'm in the minority of Penn State fans (not all fans) that don't believe "honor" was truly relevant. Joe was a great man and much more intelligent than many here acknowledge.

Correct--my first statement is factual. It's a hypothetical scenario but it's not an opinion the reaction would have been far more positive.
You cannot prove this to be true, hence it is an assumption and an opinion.

You repeatedly do this. You state YOUR opinion as fact. The world doesn’t work that way.

It's not an assumption but you're entitled to disregard reality all you want--many here do that daily

Hence it is an assumption/opinion.

As an alleged lawyer (i think), you ought to know these subteties. They are important.

Common knowledge doesn't need to be proved (or cited) as an FYI if that's new info for you.

If you're unaware Lanning is more highly regarded and therefore would have created more excitement with a stronger reaction then you need to pay attention to college football outside Penn State--but I'm confident you already know that and you're just looking for a fight--be better--you're not this dumb

We all know arguing with that guy is like arguing with a wall. He’ll promote extremist opinions (often vapid unsupported/unsupportable ones) and will ignore any evidence against them and keep suggesting they’re fact. When actually and directly proven wrong, he still won’t admit it. He has done this SO many times, and has never wavered from this methodology. He’s either a dedicated troll, or there’s an issue … you know … up there.

So why argue with him?

It's like this. No "lawyer" is going to spend his time on message boards day and night, polluting threads with nonsense.

I have 2 lawyers in the family. They're too busy to be jerking off on the Internet, they don't have the time.

Loado is no lawyer. He's a clown and attention *****. A lawyer from Northwestern isn't going to be blowing his hole on sports boards. I'm not buying he's retired which will be his excuse. He's full of crap.

Dan Lanning is 40 years old. He has a 50-9 record, 17-1 in the Big Ten and has made the playoff the past 2 years (beating us in the Big Ten CCG)
Matt Campbell is 46 years old. At Iowa State he went 72-55, 50-40 in the Big XII and never made the playoff (including losing 45-19 in the Big XII title game with a spot on the line)

Yet it's "an opinion" that Penn State (or any program) hiring Lanning would have had a more positive reaction than hiring MC.

Yeah, you have any other nonsense you'd like to pitch today or you want to be serious.
Since we are playing the hypothetical game, I'm pretty sure had Campbell followed Crisobal like Lanning has he would have had great success at UO. What we don't know is could Lanning build it from scratch without the Phil Knight bankroll.

Which goes to...Penn State spends more money than most here believe. Especially in 2025 we would have rivaled anyone.
Instead of Iowa State kids following MC we'd have had Oregon kids following him.
This isn't insulting MC. I'm glad he's here. It's just acknowledging their tiers of coaches and Lanning is considered to be stronger than Campbell currently. Hopefully that changes over the next decade

1. If you can't cite the evidence to support the assertion, it's not a fact. No matter how loud you yell or how many times you say it, it just isn't a fact.
2. Your second paragraph is 100% opinion as well.

I'm not looking for a fight. However, trying to pass your opinion as a fact is what I am calling out.
There is a guy in the White House that tries this all the time. His claims are repeatedly debunked.

Again...common knowledge doesn't need to be cited. It's not about being loud. Wasn't opinion.

Not sure why you tried to make this political. It's funny that this whole argument is over the simple statement that we'd be happy if Lanning was our coach. I'm sure we'd all be livid with Kirby too
