Growing up in Pa. in the late 50's and 60's it seemed natural to be a Penn State Football fan. Got to attend my first game in November 1966. That's when the love affair started to reach full bloom. Later, as a young high school coach, I followed Joe and emulated a great deal of his philosophy. Like virtually everyone else, I knew he was special and to me anyway, he made it seem that he made everything PSU a cut above. When they assassinated him.....I blamed it on a conspiracy of a small group of Trustees and government officials who had sinister agendas. It took a period of time, but James Franklin brought me back to believing Penn State was really the special place that I cherished in my youth.
Fanatics are in every sport and fanbase. PSU had some and it was fun watching them poke at Franklin and cry, "we deserve better."
What has transpired the past 3 weeks......turning on Franklin immediately after the Oregon game.....and gutting the work that has been done since 2014, defies explanation or justification.
You have successfully gotten rid of James Franklin.
Enjoy the season !
Congratulations! While all the jaekels and ghouls cried about Franklin not "winning the big one...." LOL he just won 50 million dollars.
You have also lost your entire recruiting class. The opt outs and portal entries start this morning.
Even Humpty Dumpty couldn't put this back together again. Let's see how long it will be before Penn State can win 10 meaningless games in one season again.
We Are......just like Auburn.....Nebraska....and the rest.
