Raise your hand if you had 10-2 this season...

[Psugo823]

...yep. nobody...just like I thought.

I am critical of Franklin when he fails but this season is a total success. Credit to Franklin and this staff and these players!

 

[AWS1022]

It’s not that we lost, it’s how we lost. But we didn’t beat OSU or Michigan. We didn’t play anyone. Did I miss any?

Wait a minute, you had Penn State losing to Purdue, Auburn, Minnesota, and Indiana. Right, Gunsie??

Have you now officially retired DelcoLion915 and Parkerdam555, or are they coming back next season??

Are gunsie and Bushy separate posters? Lol

 

[NITTANYJGK]

I've said before, a 10-2 season should be our minimum expectation. No great celebration is due when UM crushes us and we Tank in the 4th Q (again) against OSU.

This is not a great team. Sorry.

Gunsie has kind of a good cop/bad cop thing going now with his different screen names.

 

[LandoComando]

Looking at the schedule how did anyone not?

You need to head back to the Lions Den to obsess over recruiting, NITTANYJGK.

Nobody said this was a great team. Pay attention.

How is Pitt doing in the weak ACC, Lando?? lol

10-2 minimum LOL get a job

Pretty sure they're 7-4 (4-3) which puts them on par with the Big Ten West as I said all along

I actually had 11-1.

 

[LMTLION]

This is not a great team. This was a good team that won and lost games exactly per its capabilities. 2022 exceeded all of our expectations. This outstanding freshman class will win a lot of games over the next few years! Carter looks to be the next Arrington or Parsons!

 

[PaJules]

It was one of my twelve choices.

 

[psu00]

IIRC the general consensus was 8-4 or 9-3. A few had 7-5 and 11-1. A fair amount said 10-2.

The differentiating factor was that most expected Auburn and Michigan State to have a pulse this year but both were down.

 

[OzLion]

For anyone who notes that PSU just beat the teams they were supposed to beat this season, I note that already this week there are four ranked teams that have lost to unranked teams, and we haven't even finished the night games yet. Also, two top ten teams lost to teams outside of the top ten.

There is something to be said for beating the teams below you in the standings/rankings. It is especially important for a young PSU team that overcame the negative trend of the last two seasons.

 

[LandoComando]

IIRC the general consensus was 8-4 or 9-3. A few had 7-5. A fair amount said 10-2 with a few saying 11-1 (with a split between OSU and Michigan).

Because people overrated Auburn

It's unimpressive...until it's a hanging offense.

Who did they beat???

 

[psu00]

True. Auburn and Michigan State were the 2 teams that caused the split in predictions. Both had poor seasons and were the difference in the record.

The rest of the schedule was predictable as the Big Ten is frankly weak outside the top 3 programs. IIRC, only a handful of posters called a split with OSU/ Michigan.

But none of those teams are the dominating dynasty we’ve been for the past 30 years (until Franklin came and screwed it all up) (sarcasm by the way).

 

[AWS1022]

Who did they beat???

10 of the 12 teams they were scheduled to play. Many of them they were predicted to lose to by the coaching geniuses on this board.

 

[Lion8286]

Who overrated Auburn?? You keep using the term "people". Who are these "people"?

 

[Lion8286]

Who did they beat???

Who did Michigan beat? 1 good team, right? You're a clown, GSL.

 

[LandoComando]

Anyone that thought we'd lose more than 2 games

 

[Lion8286]

I asked you who overrated Auburn. Pay attention. Name the "people".

Read the thread and the predictions thread--why am I doing that for you?

Did PSU handily defeat the Big Ten west champion?

PSU never handily beats anyone….we should always win by more.

Ok, not a great team, please tell me who is a great team ? It may be USC? , possibly Michigan?

 

[marshall23]

Who did they beat???

Teams that have characteristics just like you....losers

 

[LandoComando]

That's like being the tallest midget. It doesn't mean anything
And, no, 4 points isn't "handily"

We have the most miserable fan base in America.

Don't get Lando started on his Purdue thing again.

Really? Everyone lives for your approval.
