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)

What to expect from Wisconsin

The bottom line here is their talent level is significantly below ours across every position. Maybe an exception here and there like their best LB is probably equal to or better than Deluca but you get the point.

I am less concerned about this game than I was USC. The FPI tells the story, 48% to win at USC, 70% to win at Wisky. I think the key reason for the difference is Wisconsin does not have the skill athletes that USC has. Moss and their receivers plus Marks are a tough out. Wisconsin has Locke who remember is their 2nd string QB, not a big threat to us. Their RB is good but we can handle that. Don't think their WRs or TE pose a threat.

On offense our skill guys will do damage. Ii fully expect Allar to have a good game. Moss ate up Wisky in the 2nd half and Allar should also have success vs their D. I hope Singleton is full strength. And of course they will have no answer for Warren. I hope Fleming shows up.

I expect us to cover the 6.5 point spread.

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

For the love of God, how can it be a trap game when you've had a bye week and are playing a hot team in their own stadium at night; that's such a trite phrase that's used very often with PSU? If it truly becomes a trap game, then shame on PSU. The true definition of a trap game would've been the UCLA game between the Illinois and USC games.

Don’t kill the messenger. Just repeating what Klatt said, although he did think Penn State would win but not cover.

Duckworth is nothing if not a bootlicker. He’s Oklahoma State’s version of Iowa’s Chad Leistikow (captive media).

I wonder if the crew would opine on Penn State’s equivalent as Cael definitely shuts a lot of people down

I grew up near Philadelphia where the concept of a friendly press when it came to sports teams was an alien concept.

Nah…Seth is a pro. He loves OSU but he does a great job with OK high school and still covers OU fairly. I mean he’s an Oklahoma guy so don’t expect him to spend much time or energy on Penn State (that’s what you have Basch for).

He doesn’t get into the dramatic or try to hit the coaches with “gotcha” questions but that doesn’t make him a bootlicker. He also came up at a time when there wasn’t anyone of much use trying to cover wrestling in OK. He created his own following by just being a wrestling guy in a world that wanted to suck off the football programs and the Thunder at every turn.

I was in center field upper deck for game 4. I kept my program and our tickets. About 20 years ago I collected autographed cards for everyone on that team. It took a couple of years to complete the set. I then had the cards, program and tickets mounted. It's still my pride and joy of sports memorabilia.

Then perhaps penn state needs to reconsider their media credentialing. This is the ONLY school media in the country that would do this after being warned repeatedly it wouldn't be addressed. Something needs to change and a little brow beating from the 28 year old PR twerp ain't it. There is a way for a forceful coach to push back without making it appear that the media has to be sycophantic. Saban would have threaded the needle.

I live in Ohio. You should see how the media fawns over the players and coaches. Interestingly, they are vicious on the Browns, Guardians, Cavs, Bengals, and Reds. But the blue jackets and tOSU can do no wrong.

Regardless, CJF is very gracious with the media. he always tells them that he appreciates them covering the team. Perhaps you are correct. I don't think they bring any value. The MSM is dead for all intents and purposes. Just play the games. Screw the mid-week pressers. What value do they bring PSU? Zero.
