What to expect from Wisconsin

Don’t kill the messenger. Just repeating what Klatt said, although he did think Penn State would win but not cover.
I’m certainly not getting on you, as I know that you meant Klatt said that, and I respect him as an analyst. However, considering that we haven’t been a dominant team despite the record, I just don’t believe that PSU will be dumb enough to overlook this game.

What to expect from Wisconsin

What I hope happens:
- PSU will not have to play Singleton & Allen the entire game. Get Q. Martin some meaningful RB reps.
- Give Speca & Robinson meaningful reps @ LBer in place of #43.
-Julian Fleming breaks out for a TD
- Wallace III reappearance as a WR
- DL does not need blitzes to gain sacks of Wisky QB
- Last but certainly not least, an injury free game for both teams
Would be nice to put it altogether from the start and play a complete game, something we have not really done all year.

Franklin presser

He's not cowering in a corner - that's a childish characterization of what's going on. The University drafted a statement ... they read it. That speaks on behalf of all concerned in the administration of the University, for obvious legal reasons. The end. It would be childish (and worse) of Franklin to say anything.

The media has to ask the question ... just like they ask a million questions regarding which they know they'll get no meaningful answer or no answer at all - but then once it's clear what's happening, they need to move on. If they want to do "investigative journalism," they can do that at a later date in a different forum.

HandjoCommando is dead wrong as per usual - he says CJF can do this.... can do that.... blah, blah, blah.... When he absolutely was not at liberty to say, or do, any of the things blowhard troll-boy says. What blowhard troll-boy does not mention is that the University's Communications Director had just read an Official Statement to the media and told them that CJF was not permitted to provide any comment on the topic whatever (and they were told this immediately prior to the short clip excerpted on media intentionally misleading the viewer as to what transpired).

Franklin presser

Again, if Franklin simply says, "We're unable to discuss that please refer to the statement" there's no story--there's a story because he wouldn't even speak. He walked to a corner both times refusing to say a word--that become a story
They already issued the statement before the PC. Any legit reporter with a clue would know that. Only the clueless one's re-ask what they know won't get a response from Franklin.

Yep, "again" why would Franklin issue the statement when PSU had already given that responsibility to someone else, and PSU clearly expected Franklin to NOT address it and just stick to football (oh, that's actually his job ....)

Franklin presser

Joe did nothing right after the announcement just like Penn State didn't.
True. That is why Franklin said nothing.


I think just about everyone learned what not to do. That includes psu. Say nothing. Criminal law is not the football coach' area of expertise. If the reporter wants to go interview the DA or the police then fine. Go ahead.

I always thought the press should have been camped out in front of the police chiefs house, not joes.

So match #22 is about when?

OK State & related news - 2024-25


It's funny because years ago people here used to dump all over one fan for asking friendly questions on Cael's radio show. They wouldn't have if only they knew his board handle (and he never defended himself).

Regarding Philly, a "friendly press" was one that crapped on the Cowboys or Mets half as much as on the home team. They're still awful, but it's not as bad now that the worst offender (Burger King himself) has become the Ugliest Sideline Reporter in NFL History.
Allen/Allan from Boalsburg - it’s gotta be him. And most didn’t dump on him - just razzing for being a cheerleader. But, whatever, Cael rules

And I think I know his board handle and he did kind of defend himself (if my assumptions are correct)
