That happened to me at The Phyrst numerous times!“It starts with “I love you” and it ends with “Get the f*ck out of here.””

There is a reason they call them "fans".
Any talk of spending tens of millions of dollars to replace a coaching staff is nuts.
It is minor league football, not life and death. Any University President or Athletic Director who would go to the University governing board with a plan to p**s away $60 million plus and spend a comparable amount, or more, on a new staff should be fired.

Lots of people are paying a heavy price for that miscalculation by BoT - sadly a corrupt band of stooges.
Sounds like a great guy - lol. Hopefully we can do better.
And spending $700 million when you are massively in debt already is not insane? Just wait until the ticket sales and suite sales fall off a cliff and now you can't pay off the stadium renovations
I stated that on this message board the year NIL money became permissible. Before they were students, but still receiving benefits in the form of tuition and room and board, but amateurs nonetheless. Now they are professionals and therefore should be held to a higher standard. When they don’t perform up to expectations or mail it in, then they deserved to be booed.
It’s harder to motivate people when they are fat and happy with money already in the bank, being compensated for past performance rather than current performance. Fraudklin has never been a big rah rah motivator and now with NIL he really doesn’t know how to light a fire under these complacent athletes because it suddenly became much harder.
Yes, spend tens of millions more in an attempt to correct your mistakes. Thats a good plan. Double down on stupid.
Big difference in $50 million and $700 million. Probably buyout figure would be $35 million. Either way thanks to Sandy and the BOT
There is ample evidence: participation trophy coaching style.
The thing is that a lot of good coaches are not the best human beings. But I’d much rather get a tough, a$$hole coach than a whiny b1tch like Kiffin.
Tickets were almost free for homecoming…now you will have $1 tickets and huge amounts of empty seats.
it is beyond time to find a way.
This team is very reminiscent of the 1992 outfit. They put everything into beating Miami in game 6 and lost while pretty much disintegrating after that loss. I ll never forget being in Provo Utah later that year and watching BYU just steamroll the PSU defense on the ground. They did put up a valient fight vs Notre Dame only to later completely fold in the infamous Blockbuster Bowl.
One difference is that team actually won 2 games after the Miami game, it s seems very realistic that this 2025 squad will close with 9 straight defeats.
Just a brutal season

Real bad coaching, Singleton should be returning kicks one of only 2 or 3 guys on the team that can take it 100 yards. He only has returned kicks for 3 years and now he can't?

I'm thinking that they have a slight chance to beat Michigan State and a decent chance to beat Rutgers. Thus, they finish 3-9, or 4-8, or maybe they can crow if they finish 5-7.
Curse of Joe Paterno?
West Shore Home field my a$$.

Very similar loss of a team by a coach.

My Wisconsin
My Wisconsin grad brother-in-law is here in Venice too, I’m meeting him in a minute. I’ll bet anything he brings up PSU before he brings up Wisconsin.
Are performance-based incentives allowed under NIL.
or is the cash money predetermined/guaranteed?The problem with performance-based incentives is that they could put additional and unnecessary pressure on the coach and could negatively impact the “integrity” of the game.
Iowa at night with a back up Qb, PSU fans have watched that story before and it was not good. Hard to see 3 more wins to get to a bowl.
Wisconsin had a brutal day yesterday as well. They are rethinking their coaching choice as well
Yup 2016 and 2024 were a lot of fun, got close but it's time to move on- part ways.
No! Not going to except that. Say you’re sorry. I was right, u were wrong. You ride that coach ship til it’s gone how DARE you. (Guinness comes in 8 packs u silly)
Especially when it’s an inherited problem. Kraft has total insulation here since he neither hired Franklin nor sanctioned this millstone of a contract.
He may. They are still Indiana in terms of fan base resources etc …and isn’t he from Pittsburgh? We can dream.
Not at all--I just think it's idiotic to think his weight impacts his coaching
Should KC fire Andy Reid? Should Tennessee fire Heupel?
Sounds like you're angry he's "fat" and can still bang coeds.
It's a shame we didn't fire Franklin after 2023 and hire Elko before A&M stole him
Talk about a bad hire Fickell was a terrible hire, should have giving Leonard the job.
We could lose out (ideally so they feel obligated to fire Franklin and pay the money)
But I mean, they could easily win a few games. Every loss has been by a score. Without Drew, they may be forced to use Allen appropriately.
Its like the Steelers--they're not good but they'll probably win more game than they should
Hell, watch us go 4-8 beating Nebraska and then really piss off the fans.

Fickell looked good at cincinnati. A lot of people figured the success would transfer to WISKY.
. What went wrong?
If they have a bad week and don't get their full NIL they can always bet on the NFL on Sunday to make up for it.Are performance-based incentives allowed under NIL.

Good question. I think for starters, they don't have a QB. Not sure if it were Alvarez or someone else, but Fickell was criticized for not "dominating the state" when it comes to the one natural resource the state does have.... "big ol' hoss." There was a reason why Wisconsin had traditionally been a strong run team.
I kind of follow them as my kid goes there.
I hate the celebrating when it is done, then the celebrating jerkoff is out of position for the next play because the other team rushes to get set for the next down.
If an email went out to all alumni soliciting funds to buy out CJF? What kind of response would there be. It would only require $50 per and just a little extra from folks like Pegula.
Why is this unrealistic? We all get these and probably contribute at least that much to our graduating major program.
