just listened to some comments he made regarding PSU. He felt the OSU, Michigan, PSU and MSU will dominate the Big 10 for the foreseeable future. I agree with him for the most part, assuming the coaches stay. I do "think" that MSU will fall off and maybe Nebraska will be the fourth team :)

He clearly has not watched a lot of Rutgers football. On 2nd thought, maybe he has.

Nah your coach is a terrible game day coach. Has never beaten a good team. He will be gone with 2-3 seasons and PSU football will be back where it belongs which is below Rutgers
 
so you aren't a good team? anyways, didn't he beat Georgia with Vandy? I think that says alot right there.

Rutgers best chance to beat us was last season and you didn't, I understand why you would be mad.

And they all are in the same division. Great. Oh, don't forget that Rutger's fans expect to dominate the division by keeping all of the NJ HS talent at home. They just haven't figured it out as yet. Why am I so down on Rutgers? Go to their Rivals web site and read the thread on PSU THON and Lift For Life fundraisers. Actually, it is one of the more divisive threads on the Rutger's board in regards to TTFP. Some think THON is a front for raising money to fund TTFP programs. BTW, I think Coach JF will build a program, before he may leave, that replacement candidates will be clamoring to fill. What is not to like? 107K? Leaving the cupboard full? Plus all of the other positives that the University has to offer. Academics, setting, an all round athletic program (look at Learfield ratings). I love Penn State.

Everyone with even a fundamental knowledge of college football knows Rutgers is the most underachieving football program in the country. They have not accomplished a single thing of importance after they played in the 1st college game. Their fans are more delusional than any and are among the most obnoxious.

What good teams has the Rutgers coach defeated? I get the back and forth between college fans but Rutgers hasn't been relevant, well, ever. ;)

Are you serious? The equipment manager must have been fired if this actually happened. Did you Photoshop this?

I am just saying, he claims CJF hasn't beaten a good team, well didn't we beat them last year? So they must have not been good, so they admit it?

In their entire history they have never played in a major bowl game, let alone won one. They have never finished in the top 10. Considering their location and resources, they have done less with more than any program, at any level, in the history of college football.

Amazing how perception has changed in the media since last year's bowl season. Lots of momentum for the conference and for our program.

Nebraska has really fallen off since they played in their last NC game almost 15 years ago. These things go in cycles but their recruiting doesn't suggest they'll rise into the top 4 anytime soon. They have beaten PSU all 3 times they've played so far.

I feel sorry for any person or fan base so obsessed and full of hate that they malign charitable programs organized by students which raise funds for unfortunate children. If they feel that way the should undertake similar events and show us how it is done the proper way. I don't feel like researching it but does anyone know what their athletic program graduation rates are or how many academic All Americans the RU football program has produced?

Not a chance of Rutgers ever beating us. We will challenge Ohio State and Michigan State for the foreseeable future. Our recruiting is now on another level and we will be loaded and every position.

Agree that those are the four now. Not sure how long MSU hangs with the first group. Just never have and still don't see Nebraska. Certainly had their run many years ago. Not much to recruit around those parts. Hard to see how they will be anything but middle of the pack.

Not a popular opinion but I would venture to guess that within this decade Maryland will be top four. (and that is nothing I am particularly happy about)

I agree on MSU. This year's recruiting class for them is their best EVER by far. I do not see that continuing. As for Nebraska, they have never had a good base to recruit from. Actually, they used to reach out nationally. Not sure if they can get that back, but they do have the "history". They also used to get a lot of Texas kids.

Don't see that. Not a great tradition, campus is nothing special, obnoxious fans but not great overall support, getting beat by PSU in their own recruiting backyard. Looks like their basketball program is currently in good shape and may challenge for national honors this year, but don't see it with football.

I ignore anything Dinardo says. OSU will continue to dominate and then there is everyone else. The next tier includes MSU and Wisky. Michigan and PSU still need to catch up

Not exactly going out on a limb.

He probably think PSU, Iowa, Minny and OSU will dominate the B10 in wrestling.
 
Other than DiNardo noting that PSU's talent is looking better (which is pretty obvious), the comment is pretty meaningless.

PSU will NEVER have the talent Ohio State has because Ohio State can offer prospects a place where they can train for the NFL, compete for championships, drive nice cars, eat in the best restaurants in town, and not have to do homework if they don't want to. For certain kinds of players, there is no competing with that.

PSU will have talent comparable to MSU and Wisky, maybe even slightly better the way Franklin is recruiting. But then coaching starts to come into play.

Will Franklin be able to coach at a level comparable to his recruiting? I don't think there's an obvious answer. But I do think we should be patient and give him time. Franklin works his butt off and is plenty smart and surrounds himself with smart people, so I think the coaching will be there. It certainly is on the defensive side.

But if PSU looks pretty bad on offense again this year, I think people should keep the faith and give Franklin a chance to fix it. He has never coached at this level and there could be a learning curve.

I don't know why people are even talking about Rutgers. It says something pretty pathetic about PSU fans that they can't stop talking about Rutgers and Pitt. Sure I respect those programs but over the long haul they are not a problem. If PSU is having to worry about Rutgers and Pitt we have fallen far indeed.

Oh my...do you really think that? They will have to replace there coach if not this year then next year, and try to figure out a way to keep local talent there. They have talent in that region but like New Joosey they all go to other programs that are better. Maybe they should start a #movement or something. The only local talent they can actually get have academic issues and can't get in anywhere else.

I have to disagree, PSU will have talent equal to OSU, and Michigan. In the next 2-3 years we will be equal. Actually, last year's and this year's recruiting classes between PSU and OSU are just about the same. Pretty good for Franklin in just two years. If he can put together a 10-2 year this year?
All three programs will be 3 deep with 4 star talent. I expect it to be as it was when PSU first entered the Big 10.
MSU and Wisc will be a notch below.

To me Franklin and Harbaugh are the difference. Yes, OSU has always been an NFL minor league, so be it. You still only get to play 22 guys :)

For nearly all my life I never gave Rutgers much of a thought. Oh sure, I knew we beat the snot out of them regularly, and that they were a national joke in football, but I felt more pity for them than anything. Then Rutgers entered the BigTen and brought with them some of the most delusional, maniacal, fans in the conference. They showed up here with disgusting Sandusky related posts, acting like they were our equals, and spouting absurd nonsense about being our Rivals. Then there was the Sandusky related garbage at the football game and the continuing adolescent behavior on their Board. I have no problem with good natured banter, but their fans are the worst in the BigTen. As a result, I knock them at every opportunity. I despise the lot of them.

It's accurate to a point, but Pitt's football accomplishments are light years ahead of Rutgers. Of course, so are those of virtually every college in the free world.

I agree with most of what you said except for the respecting Rutgers part. I have no respect for their program, or their fans. They have earned none and have squandered any goodwill they had upon entering the conference.
