Honestly, the players played their hearts out, so I want to thank them for a great game and a great season. Not the ending I wanted for them, but they deserve praise for their efforts.
Thanks to the Penn State Football Team

Agree. Disappointing loss but great season.
Disappointing loss and another disappointing season.
Made it Final 4 without beating a single decent team.
I guess our signature win was Illinois?
Yeah it really sucks to have your season end in the semi finals for the National Championship clown.
Accomplished exactly what? Did not win conference or CCG (both winnable). Beat a couple of ~25-40 teams and lost to a banged up Notre Dame team that lost a game to a MAC team on its home field?
I guess we have that big home win against Illinois to remember fondly.
They will NEVER get such an easy run to this point. But we did not have a team prepared to win a tough game as our WR production was historically bad.
Another season without a win against a team with equal talent or better than ours.
Time to give someone else to get a crack at it as this was very predictable.
Time for some accountability.

I agree with the original poster. Great job by the team this year! A lot to be proud of! If any of you players are reading this, don't let the negativity here get to you. Very few people are capable of what you guys did this year.
Yeah this board is sometimes a really sad commentary on the state of football fans. Your team makes the final four out of 135 teams, and all people want to do is whine and be unhappy.
They were gifted an easy run…over seeded and has an easier set-up than the #1 team in country.
Made it Final 4 without a signature win.
And exited still without one.
It will be decades before they are that fortunate again.
And they did NOTHING with all that good fortune.
Other than further cementing the new brand image of PSU football: undisciplined, showboating, mentally soft football. And poorly coached.
So OSU made it into the tournament with one signature win. Penn State. Time to fire their coach as well. Maybe our coach and theirs should trade jobs.
Hey, Bud, step back and take a look around. There are people who are facing real problems in the world. This is not a problem.
An easy group to route for and biggest dissapointment is not seeing these guys get to play in the Natty. Like the 2005, 2008, and 2016 B10 champ teams, a lotta these guys commited to Dear Ol State in times when things looked very shaky.
Here’s a detailed breakdown why you don’t have the necessary intelligence and critical thinking skills to be a functional member of society. Reality is, starting in 1993, losing to a team we had no business losing to (better personnel/ worse record) had become the biggest Penn State tradition. It’s very frustrating, but, it’s clear the program is in the best shape since 1994. Ryan Day gets a lot of crap, but OSU is better under him than any other time since 1993 - the Urban Meyer teams had big upsets against them, and Michigan had their best run ever from 2021-2023.
