Exactly. That's why they came back with 17 unanswered to take the lead late in the game after being down to the #2 team in the nation ... because of Franklin, and of their "institutionalized" fear.

MacNit should be institutionalized.
I missed the end…did we win? Have a chance to win the game in 3rd and 8? Did we throw for sticks? With nothing to lose? Just as I said - mortified. Learned at the knee of BGJ!

Which of my above facts are untrue. Franklin’s historic record speaks for itself - bad.
I responded to your assertion that Smith never played this way, and, thus, this softness must have been institutionalized by Franklin.

It's a ridiculous unsupportable assertion that you use for shock value purposes, regardless of its truth (which you can't prove, of course).

You have such a hatred for anything non-Paterno, it's VERY unhealthy. It's cultish. You're the problem.

They were? Is Syracuse now considered d-1? What about #3 receiver on a bad U$C team? Troy? Helen of?
Uh, yeah. Syracuse, USC, Troy ... all D1. Have been for decades and decades ... and decades and decades now (at least 2 of them).

Did I say that the design of the deep routes is good?

No. No, I did not.

And nothing you said contradicted what I said, so...

Ah, so saying not going downfield was the problem, and going downfield is the problem ... don't contradict each other.

On your next episode of "WTactualF" ...

Then what happened?
Ah, so the institutionalized fear allows them to mount huge, improbably comebacks after disastrous plays (2 of them, actually), but doesn't allow them to win.

That makes total sense. In some alternate universe where reality is flipped on its head.

Ah, so "institutionalized fear" means a team, who has had a horrible run of losses, and is at home and commits two huge turnovers that puts them in a big hole against the #2 team in the nation ... so that everyone would think they'd just give up, pack it in and move on ... especially after last week, when they hung tough for awhile against the #1 team, but then eventually just lost their grasp on the game ... institutionalized fear means that they sack up and mount a completely improbable comeback to take the lead late in the game. Because they eventually lost.

Got it. That's brilliant. PSU should be stripped of its accreditation if you're a graduate.
