Anybody hear anything about this? Just read this another board and he deleted all connection to Penn State on his social media. Can anybody confirm and know why other than just a change of heart?

Tough loss as we really need 2 quality WRs from the portal and now back to 0.

Penn State assistant Ja'Juan Seider has been given the title Assistant Head Coach, adding to his previous titles as Co-Offensive Coordinator and Running Backs coach.

I just feel like that we have enough talent on defense returning that if Ta’Mere Robinson, & Tony Rojas live up to their full potential that could very well be enough talent for our defense to enter into the elite category for at-least the next 2yrs

Curious to hear everyone’s thoughts here…

Bowling Green transfer wide receiver Tyrone Broden is committing tomorrow and we feel pretty good here.

Has anyone else ever seen a true freshman running back as fast, & talented as Singleton?

Also, what’s his ceiling if he continues to progress every year for the next 2yrs?

Currently at a wedding planning meeting but Devin Carter has flipped his commitment from Penn State to West Virginia.

SEC - Weekend Auctions of underage sisters to relatives and car dealers.
Moonshine sales tax. Teeth implant tax for meth heads (predominantly in Tn and Ky).

SWC - Wagering on gun fights, rodeos and cow tipping contests. Branding fee for cowgirls.

PAC 10 - highest night take each week gets 100% NIL COLLECTIVE tax from Casinos in Vegas. Roller Derby event taxes. Ticket sales from naked co-ed beach volleyball events.

ACC - 100% Transfer out surcharge for this farm club conference to use to buy back the players that left last year.

B1G - Sales of Bottled Smugness from Mi and Ohio. Fines on all the other passive aggressive programs in the conference for laying down and or existing (also goes to UM and OSU NIL coffers).

Any other interesting NIL loot ideas out there?

Texas-San Antonio 68; Minnesota 57; Air Force 50; Duke 47; North Carolina 35; Boise State 22; Texas Tech 13; South Alabama 9; Iowa 9; Wake Forest 6; Ohio 6; Maryland 4; Louisville 3; Cincinnati 3; Brigham Young 3; Central Florida 2; Purdue 1; Mississippi 1.

Excellent analysis of the high risk/high reward of upper body trips and throws, once you start feeling it and your confidence goes through the roof - look out!

Lots of hype for '23. Both early guesstimates that I've seen had Georgia, Alabama, as 1,2. Both had Michigan and Ohio St as 3,4.

That mega church pulpit is a callin’

6 in the top 11. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/35391913/2023-way-too-early-college-football-top-25

I didn't notice but the article says Reed was in a sling at the end of the Rose Bowl. Must be arm, shoulder, collarbone. Anybody know? Probably out for Spring practices, but who knows...

Her husband is from CLE and you'd run into them at various places to eat from time to time. She was really pretty and tiny. Hard to believe that she is 70!

Will Jven Williams continue to rise?​

Penn State signed two of the best offensive linemen this year in Alex Birchmeier and Williams, but the latter has been one of the more heavily debated prospects in this rankings cycle. Williams is unquestionably one of the best athletes at the position this year but his in-game performances have been almost exclusively limited to run blocking.

In San Antonio the analyst team got a look at Williams as a pass blocker and gained a better understanding of where he is in his development. What does that mean for his ranking? It remains to be seen how the debate will play out, but there is more information at our disposal to make the final decision on his ranking.

Penn State assistant Ja'Juan Seider has been given the title Assistant Head Coach, adding to his previous titles as Co-Offensive Coordinator and Running Backs coach.

an average of 34 points per game!

According to his Instagram, Penn State DB Jaylen Reed has gotten surgery today. He was previously injured in the Rose Bowl game.

Thoughts and input from the collective.

This is not intended a criticism by any stretch, but more as an "observation" that applies to both RBY and Brooks, and maybe a lesser extent Carter. To be fair I saw Nolf our most prolific pinner ever run into the same issue from time to time.

I would like to see the count of 12-14 point differential majors our guys have earned the past few years. There have been many more than a handful. It's a testament to the challenge of getting to that 15 point span with catch a release strategy. You can score 10 takedowns to none, and gain only a 10 point differential. This aspect of the scoring frustrates me in almost every dual, partially because we are the best takedown team in the nation most years.

I really despise seeing outclassed kids get rewarded the 1 point for getting 'released'. I have toyed with the thought of eliminating the 1 point escape entirely, but I think that brings in the potential for unintended consequences. Likewise a 3 point takedown is just a wee bit too much, granted 2 seems like not enough. Seeing one of our guys up 6-3 after 3 takedowns in the first, only to get sloppy, give up a TD and you are looking at an undeserving 6-5 match.

Net-net, the main point I am trying to make is getting to that 15 point differential with catch and release 'alone' in 7 minutes is a real challenge.

As a counter illustration, Spencer routinely techs guys in the first and second periods. A TD plus 3 quick 4 point turns gets you to 14 points, and the victim is still sitting at zero. Exposure is rightly so, properly rewarded. You rarely see Spencer playing catch and release for more than 2-3 takedowns max. He goes for blood the old fashioned way. His catch and release is more tilt, release the arm, tilt again, release the arm, rinse and repeat, and ultimately Iowa starts most Spencer led duals up 5-0 or 6-0. This might help explain why Spencer has tank problems in the 3rd. Conditioning aside I would guess his average 3rd period minutes per match is amongst the lowest in D1

Not everyone has the skill for a friggin automatic semi indefensible move like Spencer has, but on balance I would like to see our kids across the board ease off on the catch and release in the second period a bit and work for more turns. Just one 4 point NF would pull many more matches into more sure fire Tech territory. Likewise we will get more pins with this focus as well. Our guys can always return back to catch and release in the third period of needed.

Turning is a critical and important skill. Anyone not named Max Dean across our lineup, has some room for improvement with this skill.

Am I getting to greedy? Maybe just a little, but it seems that we value the takedown higher than does the scoreboard. I think this year's team to to bottom may well prove Cael's strongest ever. Nonetheless, I reminder just a bit back to the days of Zain, Nolf, Bo. Their places are secure on our all time pins list. I would love to see some modern challenges to those numbers, but or focus would need to change a bit to get there.

I have been a business traveller for over 30 years and have never seen a travel meltdown like what ocurred to me and my family in California due to Southwest Airlines incompetency. I know many of the tricks of the travel game on changing airlines, changing locations etc.....and I could not get home.

Had a great week of vacation in California and was flying out of Fresno to Vegas to Nashville on 12/23. Flight gets cancelled, we rearrange get a flight out of LAX and change the drop off location for the rental car and drive to LAX. Plane had been pushed back to 8:27 pm and was finally cancelled at 8:00 PM....(5 hours in airport). Retrived our bags, rented a hotel could not get any confirmed flight on any airline until Christmas day. Booked a flight out of Long Beach to Dallas then to Nashvile on Christmas Day. Stayed with my sister in San Diego (lucky break) for Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning.

Drove to Long Beach to attempt to fly to Dallas then to Nashville. Dallas trip left 8 hours late.....Nashville trip cancelled. Tired of trusting Southwest, book a hotel for the night and a rental car. Got 4 hours sleep and got to Budget Rental Car at 6:00 am when they opened got a car and drove the 9 hours to Nashville. Now still waiting on confirmation of where our luggage is, when we are going to get our luggage, but everyone is home. Today Southwest cancelled 67% of their flights in USA. No one to talk to, no one answering their phones.... complete chaos.

Southwest may have to declare bankruptcy over their handling of this past week.......thousands of travellers are stranded.......luggage stranded...........

merry christmas.

...something about this kid.. just a feeling but he may end up being the wr3 with Tre Wallace and Keandre Lambert smuth
