It is not allegiance to Franklin. You and others fail to provide the name of the HC that will without a doubt do better here. I’m all for even Sponge Bob Square Pants being named HC if there is the GUARANTEE of being better.
Well, he's not 1-16 or whatever stat Mushmouf is going to bring up on Saturday. Sponge Bob always gets a crabby patty. :cool:

People like you would rather risk becoming Nebraska for the last 20 years. I say no thank you and am glad it isn’t your job.

Exactly, Franklin is one of only 5 or 6 teams to have gone to 7 CFP Sponsored Bowls. He has done an incredible job at keeping PSU solidly in the Top 10 programs in the Country. These people who think there are more than a handful of coaches with even a couple wins against against true Top 5 teams are just laughable (even the ones have multiple wins have multiple losses as well - more often than not more losses than wins).

If you're not concerned with the D at all, then you should be predicting PSU curb-stomping Oregon.

For example, last year, Allar wasn't anything close to "awesome" and we were still within a TD of Oregon - at their house - despite the defense laying a stanky egg.

If our D is stout this game, we're running away with it. And I could mean that literally, as we won't even need Allar.

And stop listening to, and citing, goofballs on TV/radio. No one takes what they say seriously. They're meant for background noise entertainment, to pass the time while you're doing something meaningful, like taking a dump. Oh, and Klatt didn't say this very thing on Cowherd's show. He said he picked PSU by 1, and he didn't mention Allar.

not sure this is correct.

I have more nice things than I know what to do with

and thankfully son 2 just rolled in after a long day at the office with my car (fav nice thing) unbent.
I didn’t mean nice things in life. I meant you are not allowed to have nice things as a Penn State fan.

I’ll tell you where I’m at on Wednesday night a 10:00. Im ******* fired up. Completely distracted at work. Too much time spent reading stuff here. A little edgy with everybody at home. I’m ready for the game to start and em expecting the big win. A loss doesn’t end the season anymore by any means, but I want the big ******* win!!!!!

The part of this game I am most looking forward to watching is Oregon on offense. It's a wildly talented O going against a wildly talented defense.

But what's going to really decide the game will be PSU on O. Will PSU's O-line be able to grind these guys down and control the LOS? The key to holding to Oregon to 4 TDs is going to be PSU's ability to sustain drives.

Posted it in the gambling thread, but I'll post his breakdown here too (starts around 11:55). For background, Eddie is almost certainly the sharpest gambler that I've met that's willing to talk this openly about his plays.
