That was .. panthic.

Red card for absolute stupidity, then after Bologun amazing goal, they give up an equalizer in 3 minutes. No Musah. Poor defense, in second half. 3 defenders around Panama on second goal, you have to make that save but Turner isn't there to do it. He takes Bokogun out of the game and Pepi comes up lame on the header.

This dude needs to go. Zero excuse losing at home to Panama and they ain't gonna beat Uruguay.

Long overdue, the guy shouldn't have been hired back in the first place.

"Golden generation" lmao

Before anyone gets upset, I would say that despite these remaining uncommitted prospects trending the other way, Penn State has put together obviously a very good class and a handful of these prospects were going to be long shots anyways.

The names to watch continue to be Cyrus, Williams Jr, and Goodman. Worth keeping a close eye on Jackson, Carter, Epenesa, and Kemajou.

How many recruits this year?

This is unfair!

2024 Class
Daniel Calhoun (6-6, 350)
Michael Uini (6-7, 335)
Marques Easley (6-5, 335)
Nyier Daniels (6-8, 365)
Jahzare Jackson (6-11, 330)

What is your 2024-25 post NCAA tournament headline?

there are a few that can emerge --- curious as to what everyone else thinks?

#1. CStar WINS 5th NCAA Title
#2. PSU dominates NCAAs for 4th consecutive
#3. PSU breaks scoring record for 2nd consecutive year

Canceled HBO, SHO and multiple others, now curious about Apple. Signed up to watch Phillies, looks like interesting content. Now we are not big TV watchers, mostly sports, is APPLE worth to $10/Month. What would you recommend in terms of content?

At this point the Rivals recruiting rankings for PSU and Rutgers is interesting but misleading.

For PSU, we've got 21 commits already and have exceeded to "top 20" scoring limit. We are ranked 7th. What this means is that any further commits will have a minimal effect on our ranking score. There are lots of teams behind us now that will pass us. Our challenge will be to stay in the top 15.

Rutgers ranking of 13th is even more misleading. While I note that Rutgers is having an excellent year for Rutgers, in their 29 commits, there are only 4 4stars in their commits. I do note that Rutgers has a higher than usual number of high (5.7) 3stars. Still, Rutgers will finish out of the top 20 and may have to hope they stay in the top 25. However, for Rutgers, Schiano is doing his best job yet.

What criteria meets your definition of a good year for Penn State football? There are those that feel nothing less than a national championship is satisfactory. I place those morons with unrealistic expectations on ignore immediately. Is it a NY 6 Bowl game? A NY 6 bowl win? A Big 10 Championship? A top-10 ranking? Beating Ohio State? A 10-win season? Making the college football playoff? Making it to the Big 10 Championship Game? A combination of the aforementioned?

To me, it's been a 10-win season with a NY6 bowl game and even more so with a NY6 bowl win, and beginning in 2024, to me it's now a 10-win season and making the college football playoff. Sign me up for that every year.

Which schools had the most good years (10 wins & a bowl game win (not necessarily NY6) or playoff win) since 1950? And before you think that sounds easy, keep in mind there have been 74 football seasons played since 1950.

So what criteria meets your definition of a good year for Penn State football?

Figured I'd post this for the old timers and folks who want a glimpse back at the way college football used to be. This is also Joe in his prime which is a thing of beauty.
Paterno

This time of year I always seem to get sinus headaches, what works best for you guys as far as non prescription, over the counter medicine? Advil or Tylenol? Tylenol sinus? Drops? Help a brother out...

See the attached. Apparently, much of the seating on one sideline is going to be unusable in 2024, and the available seating on that sideline is going to be temporary.

It finally dawned on me who former Penn State special teams coordinator Joe Lorig looks like, David Morse.

Anyone else experiencing functionality problems on this site?

Son and family are vacationing on Marco Island. Wonder if anyone here lives there or has been there...your impressions?

My brother-in-law graduated from the Naval Academy years ago. After my sister and him got married, I spent a lot of time going down to Annapolis. My wife's birthday is July 5 so we like to get a room at the Marriott waterfront and watch the fireworks in the fourth and then maybe staying another day or two. Wonder her favorite steak houses is Lewnes in Annapolis.

It was just this past year that I found out that the owners family had had a believe to all American wrestler from Cornell. I talked to Matt today. He was at the host station. Great fellow and he said some nice things about psu. He said it's kinda hard to hate the big dog or the top team like Penn State when it's so much fun to watch them wrestle.

TOP 5 PSU VIDEO GAME PLAYERS

See link. Fun trip down digital memory lane that we spent way too much time researching. Tried to find a unique angle/storyline to each player in each game. Hopefully this partially fills the gap between now and the release of the new game.
