Stock market update

We haven't heard from Eduardo lately.

The market is near all time highs with stock prices growing faster than profits. The current PE ratio of the S&P 500 is 26.4 which is historically high and higher than other countries. I thought this was interesting:

Do we go to #2?

I don't deny some bias towards the SEC, but I think PSU's lack of a signature win is the reason Georgia is ahead of us. USC could have been that win, but they're not that good. I believe that if we beat OSU, we'll deserve to be ranked ahead of UGA, maybe Oregon.

That's assuming a win in Madison, which I am not prepared to do. This season, more than most, has reminded me that anything can happen. DA grew up some against USC. I hope that fire he showed is contagious. And the defense has to improve. Tackling was pretty awful against USC.
Still waiting for anyone to tell me what the Texa$ signature win was. And Georgia calls beating Texa$ a signature win? So far this year there were only two signature wins at all, and that was Northern Illinois at Notre Dame, and Vanderbilt over Alabama. Everything else depends on the rankings in December, not today.

Willie's Crystal Ball for 2025

First..I LOVE Willie..
2nd..I believe Willie was drinking too many Coors Banquet with some of his PSU takes..I love it

PSU has 3 returning champs..two returning finalists, etc..we all know what we have coming back

In Willie's Crystal Ball..PSU only ends with 2 champs (drunk take)..Messenbrink/Kerk

Picking against 4 timer..drunk (can it happen? Sure anything can, cmon Willie)
No PSU even making round of 16 at 197..drunk


The rest of his PSU picks were fine..just thought these 2 were funny and his way of trolling. Love ya Willie, but lay off the beer.

Willie's PSU picks

Luke.3
Davis round 12
Beau 3
Van Ness 2
Kasak 3
MM 1
Levi 2
Carter 2
Barr..no where to be found
Kerk 1

What did Barr do to Willie? 14-0 redshirt coming off World Silver at U20..yeah right.

Funniest thing is Basch, texted Barr before the show and told him Willie didn't pick him anywhere and where does he see himself..his reply 197 National Champ!

Great show boys!

Football Pair of former Penn State football players charged with felonies

I feel like stuff like this happens everywhere, unfortunately. I do think Franklin attempts to recruit high character kids, but let’s face it, he’s being paid in the 8 figures to win football games, and you gotta take some chances. Jim also didn’t have much time with these guys to help mentor them. Football players are just not your average person, both in mentality and of course stature. Playing football is hard, it hurts, it kinda takes a person with unnatural aggression to go out there and hit people day after day. Some of these kids just go sideways with that mindset.

It happened to Joe to, especially at the end, but he had bad apples even at his peak. Joe was likely more concerned with recruiting high character young men who were good students than perhaps any major college power. But he made mistakes on bad kids, and some good kids made bad mistakes.

Penn State used to be different from most every other program but that was under a former regime. In fact that is why that loser from LSU dropped the hammer on Penn State when he was running the NCAA. He was embarrassed that Joepa could achieve success with honor while LSU and most others lied, cheated and stole their way to any so called success they were able to achieve. Funny how they tried to take Joe and Penn State down and we’re still standing while the NCAA circles the drain. Coach Franklin has done a good job balancing all the forces in the current environment of college football but nobody can achieve 100% success. As far as you’re concerned, your envy is the one thing that shines through loud and clear.
I don’t really agree. PSU has had a lot of problems in the last 30 years and, I suspect, we just didn’t hear about them before. Joe was all about education and had zero tolerance but players came and left, but we didn’t always know why.
