    OT: ICYMI...

    Assume that was Cory Geiger..... PSU scheduling is nothing earth shattering. With 9 conference games they'll do one Power 5 and two mid majors each year. Ohio was added to a year they already had games scheduled @Auburn and Central Michigan. There isn't a sane AD out there that would...

    Wade

    No.....I like Wade, a lot, and think his upside is still there no matter where he goes. The original post I responded to was to the notion that he was transferring out when he looked to be a starter next year. That's a reach in the here and now. Recency bias in his snap counts aside, it's...

    Wade

    I see you answered spin with some of your own by including the most lopsided scores of the season where the bench was emptied. But to break it down more..... Appy State: 16 out of 80 snaps Pitt: 20 out of 71 plays Kent State: 14 out of 81 snaps Illinois: 12 out of 80 snaps 62 out of...

    PSU Transfers and Next Years Game

    I don't think the dropoff from Sanders to Slade and the rest of the backfield is that significant if looking at production potential had he stayed. Likewise, the WR position is fine to make up for Johnson....especially the 2018 version of his game which was wildly inconsistent. OL turnover...

    Wade

    That's certainly possible but I'm leery about how JuCo's project...although the word is he's ready. Just looking at the entire season, Sutherland's snaps were significantly higher than Wade's, by a very wide margin as the season progressed..... so it's been hard to imagine him sitting behind...

    Wade

    He's actually 3rd on depth chart if next season started today. Taylor is a lock to start and redshirt freshman Johnathan Sutherland took the majority of the next man up snaps when Scott or Taylor were out of the game. The overwhelming majority of Wade's snaps this year were on special...

    Looks like Juwan Johnson is looking to grad transfer

    As a PSU fan, I think this sucks because he seems like a really good kid that just had a bad year....but, his stats are what they are, and they're pretty underwhelming for a player of that size and ability. Could probably attribute most of his success to defenses focusing on Gesicki and...

    Brandon Winbush to Penn State

    Only way this move would make sense is if Stevens' health is in question. He was just reported to have had surgery and that comes on the heels of spending most of August and September in a walking boot. If his outlook is good there's just no way they bring in Wimbush.

    Is it Pickett or QB coaching

    Expectations placed on Pickett based on one game last year were really not fair to the kid. Just about every young first year starter is going to have ups and downs. His issues aren't really his skill set - he's mobile, has a good arm - as much as intangibles right now. Decision making...

    Here we go again... B1G looking to expand

    Exactly. Texas can name its landing spot but P12 would be well behind the other 3 options. It is certainly true that Delaney has always seen Texas as the biggest apple of his expansion eye but way too many hoops to jump through. Everything from Texas politics concerning TT and TCU to...

    Here we go again... B1G looking to expand

    You don't think the likelihood for cold/snow weather is any different in Oklahoma, Kansas or Ames, Iowa? A big obstacle for the P12 and Texas/OU has to do with time zone. Imagine Pitt playing in a conference where 2/3 of the teams are on Mountain time. It just wouldn't work for fans and...

    Everyone wants to trash the Coastal but....

    There are many similarities between the two divisions. Save for UNC and Illinois, I don't think there's necessarily a "bad" team in the whole field here....there are underachieves and overachievers to couple with very flawed teams. Breakdown of matchups based on division finishes: Pitt...

    Pitt adding women's lax as a sport. Hopefully men's lax follows.

    Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in the country and the Mid-Atlantic/NY corridor is to this sport what the Southeast is for football talent. Would think/hope a mens team is close behind this announcement.

    Well, ok then...

    Yes, a reporter is entitled to ask any question they want, but contrary to their egos, they're not entitled to an answer when it comes to an individual's health.....my point was whether or not it is really the best use of a reporter's Q&A (especially when, as in Snyder's case, they're employed...

    Well, ok then...

    Think too much is being made of it to be honest. Franklin can get very loose with reporters in joking around with them but he's also long winded. His response to Snyder was some combo of the two. There are other ways of prying some info on Trace or some related content as opposed to asking...

    Well, ok then...

    While generally true, McSorely was made available yesterday for media just hours before the post practice presser that Franklin had, and he commented on getting treatment and how he was feeling. What is Franklin going to add?
  17. B

    Well, ok then...

    Fuller context - Media are given access to practice on Wednesdays towards the end of the session. From pictures alone I can gather that McSorely 1 - Appeared to be in a knee brace 2 - Participated in drills with 1st team. If you're looking for an update, it's right there. The question was a...

    Well, ok then...

    Take PSU and Franklin out of this for a second - I'm simply asking as a reader, would you want a reporter covering your team to ask questions everyone already knows the answer to, or use your 1 question in a press conference to provide some actual incite to something you can write about? Side...

    Well, ok then...

    The flip side is, why ask a question or act entitled to a response if you already know with 100% certainty what the end result will be? Snyder works at a paid subscription site and just wasted a chance to get some type of story on a topic she may have actually been able to pry more...

    UVA Trip

    Been to C'ville several times and if you're planning on staying around for weekend, there are a lot of very good microbreweries in the area - Three Notch'd is among the best (brewmaster from Pittsburgh). Several bars in and around the "Corner" (14th st and University Ave). There's a decent...
