Is it possible for so many "men" to have PMS?
I understand the frustration by some of the fans but at the end of the day you are playing on New Years Day in the Cotton Bowl. Great opportunity to get some valuable exposure for a few elite recruits who are on the fence and playing time for some of the younger guys.

The guy on the selection committee said both Utah and Penn State and were close , i believe he mentioned strength of schedule and Utah had the chance Friday but lost to Oregon. They weren't taking a 10- 3 team over Utah. Delaney was able to get NY6 bowl placement.

Sadly, the people with whom I'm "discussing" this topic are acting crazier than the test board folks. Which is saying something.
Again, the only thing I did here was say that I'm not watching the game, and give my reasons why. For this, I was attacked ... yet I never attacked anyone for their views on the game.
These guys could win the lottery and they would bitch that its snowing and they must hire someone to clear their driveway.
The fans who are complaining and saying this game means nothing and is useless will be the first ones to bash Franklin and the coaches if they lose. They can’t get excited about it nor will they even watch it let alone go to it, but dammit the team better win it or that’s a coaching fail.
I would have been disappointed if we had missed the NY6.....but my goodness....
Great, don’t watch it. See ya in September
Then please don’t use the game to bash the coaches if we lose.
Yet its considered a NY6 bowl. A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.What about the Orange Bowl?

I'll wager than Allen Robinson would have been damn happy to play in the Cotton Bowl.
Wisconsin was going no matter. This has The Big Ten's finger prints all over it.
based on what? No PSU player has ever sat out a bowl game. Not even Barkley. This pays homage to the team concept that Franklin has built. I would be very surprised if they sat out without being injured.
You know I’m a Franklin supporter, right? Regardless, once again ... worry about your own fandom, not that of others. I got this. Thanks.
Wisconsin went to one 3 years ago. Look where it got them, a Rose Bowl birth 3 years later. So we are going to the Rose in 2022
Also if Minnesota had beaten Wisconsin, it would have been Minnesota. No way we were going to be allowed to go
Of note: Cincinnati, the team that only lost to Memphis on a late TD in their CCG, and was basically indistinguishable from Memphis, in terms of talent and performance - is facing 6-6 BC in the Birmingham Bowl. The bowl system sucks.
You can try to spin this any way you want. I pissed off about it. 3-loss Wisconsin and Michigan got selected ahead of us. Memphis hasn't played a team currently in the top 20. They got beat by fricken Temple. Memphis is a pity pick by the NCAA to placate the lesser conferences. This bowl is a slap in the face to Penn State. Our team worked their butts off to finish 10 - 2 against a brutal schedule and gets "rewarded" with a game against a team that would likely finish behind Indiana in our division.
This would not have happened 20-years ago when Joe was in charge. Sandy has no influence in the NCAA. She is a paper pushing bureaucrat who doesn't want to make waves and is obsessed with political correctness. CJF is too young to have influence. We are getting pushed around and dissed by the big wigs in the NCAA. The situation sucks.
First of all, the NCAA itself has nothing to do with the CFP Rankings nor the NY6 selections, the committee does. It isn't an NCAA sanctioned tournament unlike the basketball tournament. I do agree with you that this bowl matchup could and should be better based on the "tie in" rules. Memphis should not be in the Cotton with 1 loss to Temple and Virginia shouldn't be in the Orange Bowl. It would be so much better if #11 Utah was in the Orange Bowl and #12 Auburn was in the Cotton. The top ****ing 12 teams. For all I care, the group of 5 can go make their own "playoffs" or only be allowed in if they go undefeated. Lastly, Michigan did not get selected above us... they are not in a NY6 bowl, but I do agree they have a more interesting matchup. They can't say on the recruiting trail that they made a NY6 bowl, however.
Personally, I could care less about the bowls-----meaningless. Smart-aspiring NFL players won't participate. Schools & networks reap the cash.
I wish people would stop with the.....they didn’t want penn state in the Rose Bowl. It sound silly and churlish.
Congrats on the Cotton bowl penn state.! Me and Jorge at the plant just were talking about how 3 New Year’s Day bowls for the big ten is good for the conference. Just glad that trash at Nebraska are sucking back ole milwaukee
I guess you missed @ UMD, Pitt, @Iowa, Michigan, and OSU game (where they stormed the field).
I don’t know your exact definition of Super Bowls, but we got the absolute best shot from all those teams.
Just my opinion, but after hearing Delaney and the talking heads yesterday and today, it was clear that once tOSU was locked into the CFP, the BIG West champ was going to the Rose Bowl. We could have beaten Rutgers 80-0 and it wouldn’t have mattered.
Although I would still much prefer that the Lions have gone to the Rose Bowl, there’s some truth to this. Oregon does have a great o-line and QB.
I hope the Ducks absolutely pound the Badgers.
I don't understand what your point is here. I see countless people here complaining about having to play Memphis and talking about how last year the team had to play Kentucky and acting like it's beneath this program to play teams like Kentucky. Kentucky beat this program last year. If a team (players, coaches) or fans want to act like they are above playing a program they better make sure they beat that program if they have to play them.
I don't care if Allen Robinson thinks PSU should have gone to the Rose Bowl or not. If Allen Robinson or any player on this team believes it's beneath PSU to have to play Memphis they are wrong.
Well, Jerry World isn't exactly in that city.....though Dallas (or Ft Worth, as the stadium is halfway between them) is nice.
I have done that--and the adjacent Book Depository museum. Worth doing. If you like zoos, both Dallas and Ft Worth are pretty good.
