I don't care if it gets old or not--if people don't seem to comprehend it I'll continue to state it. Unlike you, it doesn't bother me.
2 weeks from tomorrow. We find out?

O$U and Georgia are better than PSU…why they make 4-team playoff nearly every year.
He thinks we are all "cowards" because we think WVU is a decent team and it can be a competitive game. In his warped mind since we are a favorite we should not even consider the scenario about losing. That is cowardly to think we could lose. Since we won games like this last year we will do it this year because we should be in the running for a playoff spot. Not arrogantly beating your chest and not saying WVU has no chance and is not remotely close to Penn State means you are a coward. Freaky. He has doubled down in this thread or tripled down just to be overly argumentative and confrontational.
Based on everyone else calling you out, sounds like you are projecting, Skippy.
We're not playing the FPI. We're playing West Virginia...and it's a challenge for the reasons that I and others have outlined.
FPI is a computed statistic...among a hundred others. The games are not won by statistical computations but rather on the field.
Lando is on a crusade to antagonize everyone on the board.
Yet there's something oddly entertaining about it.
Every now and then he does get something right...but not in this thread.
A QB that can move around and is throwing bullseyes can lead a marginal team to a win, not that i think Greene will do that, but it is possible. Like Tyler Tettleton did.
Same song and dance again this year. If PSU wins it was against a lousy team and nothing more than a scrimmage, if PSU loses it is because the coaches are not using the personnel properly, not raising enough money to buy the right players, fans are living in the past, or it's a new game now. Quite boring and the act is getting old.
Less than 3 years on this site. Over 15,000 posts. That works out to about 15 per day, every day for almost 3 years. Some people think what they think is the only way to think.

See FPI and projected win totals. We should have similar expectations as of today
Correct....pretending WVU is on our level to where we should have any concern is cowardly
15 a day is nothing...
There's no excuse for losing and yes WVU is not a big win if we do
It's no different than those that want to make WVU into something they aren't just to claim we beat a good team or nothing is Franklin's fault
I'm happy with Franklin. He has us projected to be on par or better than everyone in the country other than Oregon. Now he has to execute.
Anyone slightly concerned about WVU needs to raise their expectations. It's not debatable. A 3.9 difference in projected win total when they play in a weak Big XII without Texas or OU
Everything I have lists it at 10 or 10.5
But 9.5 would be about money not what Vegas thinks happens
FanDuel has -9.5 today as I just logged on to check. been going between 9.5 and 10.5. -9.5 is great betting line in my opinion
Oh look, yet another thread where Lando argues a point exhaustively, beating another topic to death. Dude has made almost 30 posts in a half day since saying he's "done with this bullshit." 🤣
This endless bickering adds nothing to the board. Just let it go man, step away from the keyboard. Every damn thread here ends up this way.

WVU Set to Unveil Surprising Starting Lineup Against Penn State
The start of the 2024 WVU football season is officially under two weeks away. Over the weekend, the Mountaineers held their second intersquad scrimmage to help further determine...
fanrecap.com
Projected offensive depth chart for WVU.
Yes, we know you love negative attention, which is why you take silly, outrageous positions and will argue to the last breath, no matter how silly you appear.
How is that negative attention? What part of that do you think I laughed at?
I can easily see a game where PSU leads by 7 at half. Then they trade TDs in the 3rd quarter before PSU kicks a FG in the 4th quarter to win by 10. WVa is forced to throw and PSU seals the win with a turnover.
This is why I have had him on ignore for months. And why everyone else should, too.
Threads get ruined. Have to scan through countless people feeding his ego and desperate need for attention.
There should be a limit of some sort. Ten per day. Or ten per thread. Shame that one person can hijack numerous threads.🤷🏿♂️
Georgia wasn't worried in 05. They learned a hard lesson.
In 2005 Georgia wasn't Georgia
And lol about using a bowl game--meaningless bowl game
What lesson was learned from losing a scrimmage?
You guys have had issues making meaningless bowl games. Georgia was the SEC champion
In 2005 Penn State won the Big Ten and was ranked higher than Georgia but still, like Georgia and WVU, played in a meaningless bowl game.
If Penn State's had issues making meaningless bowl games then how would you describe WVU's lack of relevance?
Good thread (well, for the most part other than a random 8-year old Star Wars fan chiming in).
Here's some updates from the WVU side relevant to this thread...
- Mulbah is indeed pegged to either start or be 1B at the NT position. He came on as the year went on last year and has really impressed in camp.
- WVU's LBs are going to be much better this season, and a strength. Jeremiah Trotter is the MLB who missed all of 2023 and is now slotted to start in the middle. He is a big, fast kid with NFL pedigree. Tray Lathan was lost for the season last year during the TCU game, and he is back to full speed. He was WVU's best LB last year when he played, and he'll start at Weak side, and can slide to Middle.
- Whispers from Fall Camp that a 4-star WR true freshman named RicDarius Farmer will play - he's got wiggle and is very fast.
- The Garrett Greene you saw in Happy Valley last year is not the Garrett Greene who finished the year for WVU, and will not be the same Cat you see on August 31. He's much, much better, a lot more confident, and is less apt to take off if his first read isn't there.
- PSU did not face Jahiem White last year, WVU's now co-starting tailback (along with CJ Donaldson). White is a smaller dynamo type back, shifty and fast once he hits open field. Averaged 7.7 ypc last season, and also caught a couple TD passes on swing routes.
- WVU's obvious weakness is the secondary. I believe that both of WVU's starting corners will be transfers (one from Northwestern, one from Duquesne). A focus this Fall Camp has been dialing up the pass rush to give our corners less time to cover.
- Some sharps started putting money down on WVU earlier this week and moved the line to -8.5. Bellagio even had it at -8 from today. Big movement over the past few weeks.
- Yes, it's a noon kick and noon kicks do not carry the same level of inebriation as a 7:30pm kick. However, Morgantown is on fire for this game. The level of confidence in this WVU team is at a level I have not seen since 2018, and our fans are extremely excited to play Penn State at home for the first time since 1992. Fox will be broadcasting live from the tailgate scene, the lot will be filled at 7am, and the stands will be packed. It's going to be fun - I invite any PSU fan wandering through the Light Blue lot to stop by for a beer, Moonshine and pepperoni rolls.

Great write up. Been telling people all summer that your QB is vastly improved over last year.
Thanks for stopping by and giving us your update. Good info. Glad Mulbah has found a home for more PT. Looking forward to the game.

Whispers and reports from camp typically hold little water. When PSU hears whispers that a freshman receiver is turning heads, it either means we won't see him all season or else the rest of the WR's stink. Sometimes both.
I don't doubt Greene will be better. I think we can say the same thing regarding Drew and our offense. Should be fun to see who comes out on top.
As a PSU fan, I'm encouraged to hear about your secondary and to a lesser extend the LB's. Should help to get our passing game jump started. If our experience running backs can't pick up a blitzing cornerback, it will be a long season.
LOL - I actually was going to type these exact words after I mentioned our true frosh WR, but left it unsaid. It's very true, but we'll see. Last year we were told Rodney Gallagher would play a big role at Penn State, and he didn't log a single snap on offense.
Speaking of Rodney Gallagher, Head Coach Neal Brown has made the decision to play him both ways this season - as a slot WR and as a corner. He said recently that Gallagher was "the best man coverage corner we have". Gallagher showed flashes of raw talent last year, mainly on end-arounds and reverses, running the ball. It's going to be interesting to see how WVU will use him in 2024. I know he was on PSU's recruiting radar for a while...
