In all fairness, Dotson looked like he was talking some trash when he snagged the near INT.Defensively, our guys "chirp" as much as anybody in the country.
I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing. It's not like we're 1980s Miami or anything. No reason to think they're "bad" kids. But they definitely talk a lot of trash. It's been this way for the past few years.
Guys like Dotson go about their business without yapping. Saquon was like that. Lots of others, too. The offense in general, actually. But the defense has a tendency to run their mouth. They better back it up.
Like those whining incessantly that Franklin is Knute Rockne and we need to accept the complete collapse on Saturday and the two year downward spiral that seems pointed toward the abyss? Those whiners?Maybe he’s smart enough to avoid the board knowing there would be a bunch of whiny ass little girls dominating it for days, like after every loss.
Marshall - are you waiting for the new board to answer these questions? Seriously, very interested in your perspective.Do you think/why do you think Penn State lacks the physical and mental toughness of bygone PSU Teams?
Do you agree it needs to be restored to compete at the highest level?
Can we get there with Franklin? And if so, how?

I believe he’s at the Internet Coaching Experts conference in Vegas for the week.Paging Marshall.
It’s apparent you don’t know the meaning of the word whining. And I seriously doubt I’m in the minority, especially if you take out the Wal Mart PSU fans.Like those whining incessantly that Franklin is Knute Rockne and we need to accept the complete collapse on Saturday and the two year downward spiral that seems pointed toward the abyss?

Get in your EV and transport yourself to Happy Valley for a game and you might be shocked that long-time, realistic, knowledgeable and patient fans have seen enough. Lots of experts are asking the same type of questions.
Does not mean you are wrong? No. But you are distinctly in the minority on the state of State. It is not the” fan boys” that you think the questions are isolated.
Franklin's got this. He was a psych major at the Harvard of PA.There's a difference between random yelling about everything that goes wrong and a motivational kick in the ass. See BB and the ILL team Saturday.
He last posted at 12:02 Saturday, just before kickoff. Hope he is ok and just embarrassed to admit we were right all along.Yes, I guess we do.
Try sending him flowers or candy.Marshall - are you waiting for the new board to answer these questions? Seriously, very interested in your perspective.
Or avoiding the idiocy.He last posted at 12:02 Saturday, just before kickoff. Hope he is ok and just embarrassed to admit we were right all along.
Wait we have never seen you and Marshall in the room at the same time.And you appear about the same time he disappears. We have a 30 minute sitcom brewing.Try sending him flowers or candy.
Hold on I thought the Harvard of pa was Cal U of pa.....Franklin's got this. He was a psych major at the Harvard of PA.
Cal U is Harvard on the Mon 🙄Hold on I thought the Harvard of pa was Cal U of pa.....
You obviously missed my since deleted comments on his possible whereabouts.Wait we have never seen you and Marshall in the room at the same time.And you appear about the same time he disappears. We have a 30 minute sitcom brewing.
Maybe for a mental midget.Na. He connected for a grand slam.
No, I know exactly what whining is…and I am smart enough not to listen to insight who disparages “Wal Mart fans” from an ivory tower in Kentucky.It’s apparent you don’t know the meaning of the word whining. And I seriously doubt I’m in the minority, especially if you take out the Wal Mart PSU fans.

At least I have a degree from PSU…and what difference does it make where I live? And you obviously don’t know what whining is. Saying “we need a new coach because we deserve better” is whining….being realistic about where the program is at is not whining….see the difference?No, I know exactly what whining is…and I am smart enough not to listen to insight who disparages “Wal Mart fans” from an ivory tower in Kentucky.
I guess the question is this: Where is the program at? I think we’ll have a better idea by the end of the season.At least I have a degree from PSU…and what difference does it make where I live?

What makes you think you are special by holding a PSU degree? Many/most here do (including me and with my family having degrees and ongoing PSU education across 3 generations…I am also a PSU Instructor).At least I have a degree from PSU…and what difference does it make where I live?

Perhaps he’ll appear if you offer to fellate him. Seriously, do you have even an ounce of self respect?Seriously Marshall - are you OK? Most here appreciate your underlying messages.
Your perspective is desired/welcome/needed.
I’m not sure how calling to fire a coach after one bad season and currently sitting at 5-2 is rationally calling for accountability…sounds more like entitled fan speak.What makes you think you are special by holding a PSU degree? Many/most here do (including me and with my family having degrees and ongoing PSU education across 3 generations…I am also a PSU Instructor).
Does not matter where you live.
Those who rationally call for accountability are not whining. You can not seem to accept (whining all that way) that other informed people might have a different opinion than you.
You appear to be ok with debacles like Indiana 2020, Illinois 2021, and the downward trajectory of the program. All the while held hostage by a coach flirting with leaving the program - seemingly oblivious to his shortcomings. Good for you. Some are not satisfied with the above. Good for them too.
Newsflash: Most disagree with you and it is not meeting at a Wal Mart to hash out the displeasure. It is in the parking lot of Beaver Stadium and in the offices of serious professional sports/football analysts.

Nobody Likes to lose. If you did you wouldn't be a fan. For the record, not a PSU graduate. I often joke that I did not go to PSU, but my money did (middle son PSU degree 2011) I have been a fan of PSU for as long as I can remember. I have gone to at least one game for 40 years. About 10 years ago I was given the opportunity to share season tickets with rudedude. I've been fortunate to attend most home games, a few away games, and some bowl games.What makes you think you are special by holding a PSU degree?

I loved Joe and the "Success with Honor" mantra. I liked and supported BO'B. Son and I woke up at 4 am and drove 2 hours to State College for his first practice (Rally in the Valley). I like CJF. Has he made some head scratching mistakes re: clock management, play calling, player decisions? Yes, and they hurt because as fans we have an investment whether it be time, money or memories. Does he deserve criticism? Sure, but some posters take it to the extremes, like it's a job.
This thread and this Board are a microcosm of our society today. A few posters on each side of an issue take it to the extremes, make all the noise, It's my way or the highway......while the rest of us are either a little right or left of the middle.
Let’s see where/how the season ends. Franklin will have earned it if he can turn this around. After Saturday, it’s tough to be optimistic. Time will tell. I suspect the worst is yet to come.I’m not sure how calling to fire a coach after one bad season and currently sitting at 5-2 is rationally calling for accountability…sounds more like entitled fan speak.
Marshall watch…Day 6Do you think/why do you think Penn State lacks the physical and mental toughness of bygone PSU Teams?
Do you agree it needs to be restored to compete at the highest level?
Can we get there with Franklin? And if so, how?
So do you sit with keeping Franklin? In all cases? If we steal one against tbe Big3 remaining on our schedule? 5-7? 6-6? 7-5? 8-4?Nobody Likes to lose. If you did you wouldn't be a fan.

Who is Mike Tomlinson?So do you sit with keeping Franklin? In all cases? If we steal one against tbe Big3 remaining on our schedule? 5-7? 6-6? 7-5? 8-4?
And how do you feel about all of this murkiness on Franklin honoring his contract? Vs say what Mike Tomlinson did?
I’m not good at Twitter since I’m not a Twitteree or Tweeter, but per CAC Marshall23’s Twit-feed he is alive and well.Marshall watch…Day 6
Fascinating. Hope he returns here for that explanation? Like to see answers to my initial questions. I don’t think Yurcich is responsible for giving up 350+ yards on the ground against a 1-D Big10 bottom dweller at home. But you’ll see some tall tales spun here to protect a narrative.I’m not good at Twitter since I’m not a Tweeter, but per CAC Marshall’s Twit-feed he is alive and well.
He has retweeted other tweets within the past 24 hours and appears to be placing blame on PSU’s loss vs Illinois squarely on Mike Yurcich.
Call me shocked 😳
