It’s a done deal. They are not changingWith the opening of PA and with most other programs having a “semi-normal” Spring Game, is PSU really going to follow through with the nonsense having having freshman only?
Bet the local businesses could use the boost?
Perhaps common sense will prevail? One can hope.
Don’t question Sandy’s leadering. This is why she gets paid the big bucks, I think. Something like that.
Unreal...it amazes me that it is not even being talked about.It’s a done deal. They are not changing
This was not Sandy’s doing. The decision not to have blue white was made by someone else.Don’t question Sandy’s leadering. This is why she gets paid the big bucks, I think. Something like that.
You would be pointing the finger in the wrong direction.Unreal...it amazes me that it is not even being talked about.
Pitiful to kick those local businesses in the teeth. And creates a disadvantage with other programs that are having an actual game atmosphere.
In the real world, there would be consequences for such ridiculously poor and callous leadership.
Shameful.
What is the disadvantage?And creates a disadvantage with other programs that are having an actual game atmosphere.
What is the disadvantage?
Whose direction am I pointing? I did not single out anyone. But whoever at Penn State made the decision is cruel and incompetent. And they are putting our program at a disadvantage.You would be pointing the finger in the wrong direction.
What is the disadvantage?
Other programs get to showcase their team and the atmosphere.Our fans need practice too.
Fans don’t get their spring tailgating practice? 🤷♂️😉
PSU fans need to learn how to improvise, adapt, and overcome. There are plenty of empty shopping mall parking lots around. Find one, set up shop, and get your practice in.
They can practice tailgating outside the future casino.
Well since the State will permit 53,000 +, they could easily allow in a lot more.I would hope they would think about it and make a slight change. But that change would be to also allow seniors in and not just freshmen. As much as I want to get there and watch I think those seniors deserve it more than any of us.

So is direction the BoT? The wonderful state? Aka the Wolf pack?You would be pointing the finger in the wrong direction.
You really believe that the state would allow 53,000+ into Beaver Stadium at this point?Well since the State will permit 53,000 +, they could easily allow in a lot more.
Why is this so difficult?
Not my opinion, The State is on record with this.You really believe that the state would allow 53,000+ into Beaver Stadium at this point?
That’s not correct. The state said up to 50% as long as everyone can remain socially distanced. If you’ve ever sat in Beaver Stadium, you’ll know that 50% isn’t happening.Not my opinion, The State is on record with this.
Well, they can certainly fit in a few more just a few freshman. I think Ohio State is putting 40-45k into their stadium that is smaller than Beaver Stadium.That’s not correct. The state said up to 50% as long as everyone can remain socially distanced. If you’ve ever sat in Beaver Stadium, you’ll know that 50% isn’t happening.
No. Coach Franklin chose to use the 15th practice as just that, a practice. He didn’t want to have a plain vanilla scrimmage with the media present. He is installing a new offense that he would prefer not to share. He wants to be able to run the new offense in his 15th practice. Also after missing all of spring last year and the result of fall he wants to use every practice to its fullest. i believe 40% of this team has not had a spring practice. The freshmen will see mostly a practice. There will be no media present.So is direction the BoT? The wonderful state? Aka the Wolf pack?

MacNit, you make the wild claim we can’t beat OSU because we won’t be having a spring game? I think having a real practice is a much better idea this year.

Bad decision, IMO. First, having one more hour of practice four months before the first game won’t make much difference. Two, having a game style practice is good for the players. Three, it’s a good recruiting opportunity hat practices don’t have. Three, like it or not, football is fan based. It wouldn’t exist without great support. And our fans help recruiting, help win games, help make PSU one of the most desired TV venues. Not only makes his job easier and more fun but also pays his salary. Four, the local businesses are really hurting and he should be willing to help them.No. Coach Franklin chose to use the 15th practice as just that, a practice.

The only possible downside is showing some new wrinkles in both offense and defense, including scouting of the individual players. With Wisky as the opener that could be important. But if they are gonna allow in thousands of freshmen I think Wisky will find a way to get at least one person in.
Now I know this is where the self righteous will whine that someone dares give their opinion. That all us couch coaches are so damn smart. That we should be calling the plays. Insinuating we should just shut up and watch. Tough titties....it is a spectator sport meaning spectators are critical to success. Don’t like others opinions.....don’t come here as opinion are what this board is all about.

Guess we are the only one who missed Spring last year? If he is that worried, why let in freshman? Think any of them might have a cell phone? Talk about wild claims.
Maybe IM Saban and Day and Dabo - they are missing the boat?!!
And of course I am not claiming we can’t beat O$U because of no Spring Game. But stupid decisions and bull-headed stubbornness are signs that help explain it.
And it unnecessarily hurts the local community when they are really hurting. But hey, who cares about them, right?
Winner-winner chicken dinner. Spot on.Bad decision, IMO. First, having one more hour of practice four months before the first game won’t make much difference.

I am and we do. But not everyone is me.
No one is stopping you from going up and supporting those businesses.
You must be correct. That’s why nearly all the other teams but Penn State have Spring games. What do Saban and Day know - the rubes?!Disagree. While we would all like to see a BW game, whether live or streamed, the team and coaches will get a lot more out of a practice than the scripted nonsense of the B&W game.
