Saturday games of interest

No one is now everyone?
"after a loss"--after a loss people are irrational for a day or two--hell, people are irrational during games
I'm sure there's some idiot here aside from Crusher that wants to fire Franklin but if you take "after a loss" go to every board today of the losing team to you'll see the same thing
Maybe your worst argument but at least you haven't mentioned Paterno yet

Those throwback leather looking helmets for Illinois today are cool.

Before the game when Penn State played at Illinois in 2023, a young man was walking around outside the stadium dressed like that amongst the pre-game crowd. I thought he was a student that did it for atmosphere and that he looked cool. Turned out he ran on the field against someone as a promotion and was fast!!! The Galloping Ghost!

To me, those helmets and uniforms make them look deceivingly slow.

What happened to the Virginia series?

Beat us in State College in 1989 opener. Saw a buddy who graduated with me in 87- but was wearing a UVa shirt.

WTF? I asked? I knew he was NoVa...but to rep against your own alma mater? He was hammered as was I- but the gist was his folks went to UVa as did his grandparents and he was hosting a tailgate of UVa family and friends and he scummed to peer pressure.

THAT dynamic is what is missing when we line up against most Big Ten teams. I was born an hour west of Charlottesville near the WVa line in the middle of the middle of nowhere.

I looked at UVa but would not have gotten in- but for have high school friends who went there. Have a local buddy and a former student who did med school there. Can't say the same for Minnesota or Nebraska.

Wish we played them...

Yes. Modern day fans don't understand the close relationship with our eastern rivals and why they matter.

My parents live in Cville now. Brother went to UVA.

Etc.etc.

What happened to the Virginia series?

lol--again, not what I said--I said he has better stats and there's logic for him being on the top 25 given his games against us and A&M
I also said in that thread that Warren is better and will be there at the end of they year--but comprehending anything was never something you were capable of
Also "some guys from the MAC" confirms you know nothing about football or you'd have said his name
It must get heavy moving those goalposts all around like you do.

What happened to the Virginia series?

Great points.
That, plus they beat us due to a few missed FGs.

There's a reason we got the home and home with them, Would have been a big/great home game.
