Need to re-start the drinking game - one shot of booze every time Franklin says "obviously".

I expect to have significant decrease in liver functions by the Delaware game.

Michigan would try to poach our players. They have no morals.

And they would enjoy the slap to our faces.

Stopped after he gushed about the new commissioner and then labeled WVU a really good opponent. It’s a “show me” year. Have heard it all before.

My take aways from watching his comments.

1. James from State College reads this board and has finally figured out that Manny Diaz had better figure out how to stop opponent's inside run games against PSU's DL. I noticed that he put the onus on Manny and not himself, despite being on the PSU payroll for almost a decade.

2. No verbally-expressed parallel expectations for Mike Y. That was weird 🤷‍♀️

3. The overt suck-up to the new Commish was transparent and a bit "creepy"

And I'm sure Franklin didn't do the same thing himself. 🤔 These coaches are all hypocrites when it comes to tampering

What coach on the planet would not say their opening day opponent wasn’t good? Good lord.

Why say anything? They aren’t even a good opponent who’s predicted to finish last in the Big 12.

Because he was discussing them. It’s coach speak and every coach does it.
