Mike will go down as one of the all-time PSU greats, when all is said and done. He will be a mythic figure when the history of that sordid period is finally written.

Mike says:
“I think that’s what Penn State’s been about. It’s never been about one single guy. That’s the philosophy that Joe [Paterno] had and that’s what makes Penn State a special place. It’s one of those traditional uniforms that’s classic and it’s been for a long time. I think it’s great that coach Franklin did this.”
"Now that we’ve moved on a couple years from that I think it’s important that Penn State goes back to what it has always been and that’s never been about one person."

He really respects OBrian. He mentions that in every interview.

I'd love to see Mike come back here and coach some day. I think he'd be great. I know he'd be a great recruiter as he and Zordich were instrumental in re-recruiting in 2012. And I'd love to see the look on Beckman's face if that were to ever happen.

That's a damn good thought.

No doubt. At that age, stepping to the plate like he did, was quite awe inspiring.

Here's hoping the remainder of his life is more of the same.

Good to hear from Mike, and how the Letter men feel.

Well, Beckman will be hard to track down for an opinion.....his coaching days (at least at U of I) are counting down very quickly.

I think it's from going through the wars together. There will always be a bond.

I have some adult beverages waiting for when Beckman gets the boot.

We should invite his staff to join us at The Creamery!

I'm sure they're familiar with where it is.
