Awesome to see. Also is handing out the posters around town.
Franklin is out delivery season tickets by hand right now

If he did, he'd be in the library encouraging academic debate and dialogue. Encouraging students to get involved.
Nice. The Penguins do that every year in Pittsburgh and it creates a ton of goodwill. I've never heard of it at the college level, but if it has, I'm sure someone will let us know.
"In the library encouraging debate and dialogue." When was the last time you were in the library? It isn't exactly set up for debating. A bit of a stretch.
I've never put anyone on ignore, but I understand how this could have been the straw that broke the camel's back.
Yes, because there are soooooo many students in the library this time of year, and also because you're supposed to talk in the library.
Another post from a deranged waste. Good job, Felli. Get help.
Yeah, so?!? My point is that if Franklin "got it", he'd be out and about meeting students and encouraging them to stay in school; set an example. Sure, have fun at football games, but be responsible. Take academics seriously.
What's wrong with that?
What took you so long?? As soon as they offered this option, Felli and CR66 were my first clicks. Life is good.
Nothing.....but it's summertime, dumbass. There are hardly any students around campus right now.
Why??? Sad reality is there are way too many kids in college that really don't belong. They are only in college because everyone tells them this is what you have to do to get ahead. If you haven't figured it out college is for smart kids. To many marginal kids are getting into college racking up student debt and finding out that coming out with a 2.5 GPA in some fluff major does you no good in the real world.
Incredibly poor and insensitive timing on his part. This was a glorious day and taking a shot at the guy responsible, who consistently walks the walk, and goes above and beyond, was just mindless. Nobody was going to ruin this day.
Were you one of those students?
I jest, but it was humorous given the content of the rest of the post.
He stresses academics all the time. Stop being such a pc prick. It's a nice thing, not a bad thing.

was in state this evening and met athony zettle and hack!!! it was a good time!! we went to primanti bros to eat and all freshman and coach franklin were in the house eating with us!!! they all stood up held hands and said a prayer before eating!! coach is a class act spoke and took picture with everyone that approached him!!! at the end they went out front as a group and took a picture! then coach gave everyone of the players a hug and they went on there way!!! we got a good one for sure!!!!!!! we are
You wouldn't know young and energetic if it bit you in the ass. The young and energetic hate people like you.
In affect, that's what he's doing. The season tickets fund a ton of great activities for the kids year in and year out. They create a unifying experience. Are you suggesting that a school gets 25,000 kids in a stadium at any time and promotes the sciences or history?
Not to mention its July. Not sure how many students are in there right now any way.
I wish I could pass judgement here, but I'm young and lethargic (too many trips to Primanti's and Otto's last semester, I put on the first-semester-senior-seventeen)
Don't they have recreational weight lifting there any more? Yeah "recreational weight lifting". Get after it fellow, when I yell "We are", I want to be proud of the fellow who comes back with the response.
Actually an engineer so use of proper English is optional.
Irony is a poster who comes off as one of the least educated on the board, preaching about academics.
He's very educated.
What we see is the result of the psychological effects of steroid use during weight training.
And what makes you think he isn't doing that? Are you in on the convos as he drops the tickets off?
I don't get it. Someone points out that our Head Football Coach is doing meaningless tasks that anyone can do. We're paying this guy millions of dollars? And then someone else points out that he could be spending that time getting others to better themselves academically, and the guy gets blasted. How is handing out tickets and posters better than using your status on the university to encourage others to become better people? And even if all of those students are already the greatest students they can be, isn't his next job to win us championships? How is his campaigning (or, as I see it, "begging") for fans going to win us championships?
Look, I'm all in on Franklin. The guy is absolutely the right coach for us (since Joe cannot be here). But I gotta say that I don't like this. But this doesn't bother me as much as the reaction to a different opinion by the people on this board.

Yes you are correct. You dont' get it.
First off its JULY, how many people do you think are in the Library?
Second how do you know what Franklin is saying as he's passing out the tickets?
Finally you're all over the place towards the end of your first paragraph. Do you want him encouraging students or do you
want him winning championships. Frankly I think he can do both.
Because it was an invented issue in a steroid driven mind. Maybe you haven't heard Franklin talk about academics, but he has. I believe last spring they had the highest GPA ever at PSU or something like that. He has consistently talked about being #1 on and off the field. So instead of making up issues with Franklin, why not wait until real issues come up? Asking for support is a part of his job as there is a reason why most in the BT say HV is the hardest place to play in. A HC interacting with the fans in the middle of the summer...oh the horror of it all. I know, I know, Joe would never do that.
Joedirt47 looks like a relative newbie. He'll soon realize agreeing with Felli on any thread is not really a good place to be.
The flip side to that is that you almost have to have a degree to be a secretary or clerk these days.
This board is just freakin' cool. I can't believe I actually read something so stupid.
The above post is a prime example of why I will never put anyone on ignore. I enjoy reading the perspectives of others, even though I may vehemently disagree with them. Posts like the above (and most anything from Michael Felli) make me laugh while reminding me of how sad/pathetic society is, and that the greatest country on Earth still has people who are pathetically dumb.
Its amazing. Since I already had him blocked, I didn't even get to read what was the straw that broke the camel's back! Damn!!
He's the football coach out promoting his football team. What the hell is wrong with that? The only people he needs to encourage academically are his players. Felli was just being a contrarian. His point didn't even make any sense.
