Official PSU - Michigan Game Thread

[Locolion]

what kind of pussy complains about a better team running up the score

Agreed- MI should keep bringing it 100%. I wouldn’t want mercy from anyone. Kill me first

 

[Lion84]

Our revenge tour starts next year - I hope we drop a 100 on them. These are 2 teams at different junctures - they are today where we were last year. The future will be bright for us. Herbie and Fowler are 2 of the biggest assclowns I think I have ever heard.

 

[delcoLion]

I have to wonder what this squad is going to do from here on out. I did not think it was realistic for us to beat Iowa, Mich and Wisky, but I thought we would at least be competetive. What I find so disturbing is for all of our highly recruited talent, we are playing no better offensively than Rutgers.

.

This team has not looked right all year. The first 4 games padded the stats and gave us hope.
They never recovered from the Ohio St loss.
They are not a physical football team and that’s the problem to me.

 

[MrLeone]

Poorly coached team... need some changes... smh...

 

[I am Ironman]

Franklin needs to own this. He is a loser.

PSU can do a lot better than this phony.

 

[PennStateNate]

why is mcsorley in the game??

 

[danvillenit]

That’s fing rediculous

 

[BrooklynlioninBowie]

ANOTHER HIGH THROW?!?! Trace making Don Brown look like a genius.

 

[83wuzme]

These problems on offense aren’t going to get fixed this season.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Oh jeez - comedy of errors now.

 

[fastlax16]

what effect do you think message board posters have?
disappointing game but im still happy with franklin overall

I’m happy with Franklin overall. I don’t think he’s above reproach. It’s a message board. People talk about football. Good and bad.

 

[Nittany_93]

Wow, is McSorely in?

 

[PSUcup1]

He’s so bad

 

[PrtLng Lion]

This has become a total circus. Not one thing going our way.

 

[Lion Lineage]

If Franklin wants to be elite he needs to understand it’s not just recruiting. He can’t have coordinators that learn on the job - Rhane.

And another piss poor pass by the safety.

 

[nits74]

ELITE. GOOD. AVERAGE.

That is being rather generous. Look at the resume this year. We've beaten no one. This is not even a Top 35 team. With respect to Franklin, the story of the Tortoise and the Hare is starting to come to mind.

 

[Omar81]

TAKE A KNEE. WAVE THE WHITE FLAG. BEG OUR RECRUITS NOT TO ABANDON SHIP. DO SOMETHING!!!

 

[okinburg1]

Tommy could have made that throw

 

[ftlpsu]

I agree. For me the OSU game being close made my expectations increase dramatically, but in reality thye are not a good team.

As I said during their ND game, Michigan is the real deal this year. I had hopes we could compete, but our O was terrible.

This D while not world beaters has been OK.

LdN

Same boat got sucked in...I called 9-3 this year when the post was made pre season.

 

[Shadow99]

Why expose 9 to further injury? Inexplicable. Protect him from himself!

 

[harjeff]

WTF Is TM back in the game! Embarrassing

 

[psrurock]

Just wrong scheme. Payback talk is garbage, Win with class lose with dignity and grace. But Joepa was never rewarded for sportsmanship. As a follow up where's the flag for the McSorley taunt. Let's keep embracing the poor sportsmanship garbage.

 

[phillybillyreprise]

Jedi’s don’t seek revenge they return!

 

[AvgPennStateFan]

Winovich a class act

 

[Lion84]

Is Winovich the biggest tool you have ever seen - a Clay Matthews wannabe.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Damn, Trace's throw goes thru Bowers' hands, for an INT. Trace's throw was a tad high, and a tad behind the TE, but you have to catch those.

 

[lbujoe33]

Hope we win...but if we don’t it will be interesting to see if a reporter asks Franklin “coach it seemed that trace wasn’t 100% did you ever consider taking him out for Stevens or Clifton?

Franklin will get defensive and say something politically correct.....I would respect him more for saying he owes trace and it’s his team or some admittance to the truth.

Franklin has lost this team.

 

[kgilbert78]

Regardless of the bad throw, I am still bullish on Tommy Stevens. Trace has had three full seasons to make mistakes and learn. That throw is part of the price for playing Trace all of those games when the outcome was in hand. That play was the price for not getting Tommy into games at other points as well.

Next year Tommy will likely be the starter, and I'll be pulling once again for Clifford to get some playing time, when it matters.

Part of that was Stevens being hurt most of the first half of the season. After that point, the games have not been "in hand" by and large.

 

[84Lion]

I feel like Ron Zook is on the PSU sideline at times like these

Ouch. Man that's brutal...but on the money.

 

[PrtLng Lion]

G-d I hope someone (Bama, Clemson, whoever) kicks the skunk bears asses. An entire stadium taunting the We Are chant. Classy

 

[lbujoe33]

Damn, Trace's throw goes thru Bowers' hands, for an INT. Trace's throw was a tad high, and a tad behind the TE, but you have to catch those.

He can recruit but can't coach.

 

[Nittany_93]

Franklin's a great recruiter and motivator. He's a horrible game day coach...

 

[jbenedict]

RAIN has to go!!

 

[PennStateNate]

Franklin going all Brady Hoke

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

I’m happy with Franklin overall. I don’t think he’s above reproach. It’s a message board. People talk about football. Good and bad.

Happy with Franklin as a recruiter and brand manager. Will stop there for now.

 

[Omar81]

As with all of our losses, our players just failed to execute. The coaches played clearly our best players, certainly had stellar game plans prepared, the special teams schemes were impeccable, and the play calls were flawless.

Darn those players for not executing.

 

[58psu77]

why is #9 in game?

 

[84Lion]

Why expose 9 to further injury? Inexplicable. Protect him from himself!

That should've happened in the first half.

 

[Obliviax]

I guess that fourth quarter lead streak is out the window?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Evans in for the TD, making it 41-0, with 7:44 left, and the PAT coming up.
