I’m pretty much a pessimist, but there aren’t a lot of football programs that have it better than Penn State. Maybe a dozen that are quantifiable better. And despite recent history, we are close to Michigan in the struggle for number two in the big ten.

Or at least within 24 points of Michigan.

It’s half full. Problem is we have a 12 ounce cup. Elites have 16 ounce cups. We live in a 10-2 world. Anything less is pessimistic.

When it comes to watching PSU under the Franklin era

one can be an optimist and be sadly disappointed
or
one can be a pessimist and be pleasantly surprised

Sounds more like a physicist. I always figured that engineers would say you have the wrong glass.
An engineer sees the opportunity for a better glass design
Welllll....
1. If the liquid is half gone because you drank it, the glass was the right size to start with.
2. From a logistics standpoint having one size glass is a cost savings. If people choose to only fill it half way with liquid, I still have all the benefits of those cost savings.

2-20 against AP Top 10 = "elite"....
Kansas State has 2 such wins this year.....

If you want to be half full, all good, but you would be insane to think your optimism will be rewarded under Franklin's leadership.

It’s not that it’s half empty or full, it’s just that it’s a very small glass to start with.

I'm still the optimist regarding everything in life. As far as Saturday's loss. Time for Allar to have an increased roll.

Fine, be optimistic about the team if it floats your boat but only if you understand that it’s just feelings. I’m an optimist myself (my father was the most cheerful, optimistic guy you’d ever meet), but in the cold light of day there’s not much progress showing. That’s not feelings, it’s cold fact. Shalom.

I don’t think progress is one of Franklin’s METRICS. o_O .
