Franklin Comment

Funny how we are infested with cult members on our board but no one outside of the cult can post on their site........can you say paranoid ~

Funny how cultists call others intellectually dishonest while employing straw man arguments in defense of inane statements from morally questionable individuals. What a bunch of cowardly losers, in addition to the obvious paranoia and unbelievable insecurity demonstrated by their running to and fro attempting to defend the image of their shattered self-anointed nobility, which apparently is the only thing that gave meaning to their vapid lives.

The quote, "I'm not defending PSU"...posted on a Pitt football message board by a known defender of the culture of happy valley, is not only is one of the most startling examples of intellectually dishonestly you could conjure, but also a astonishingly clear example of the mindbogglingly complete lack of self-introspection and awareness by cult members.

Barbour is kind of an idiot. I'm sure Nebraska hasn't scheduled OK, and Texas isn't scheduling A&M etc., because their ADs realized their fans aren't always so nice to one another. Wouldn't want a nice, friendly, totally non-violent game be ruined by a few fans being rude to each other. Because that might make the games be part of a rivalry, and PSU certainly doesn't want one of those.

Does anybody besides me think that Franklins comment in the Trib ( http://triblive.com/sports/college/...rivalry-wont-renew-until-2025-at-the-earliest) is talking trash on Pitt.
Here is his quote " “Western Pa. (talent) historically, and I would even say the last couple years, has been really strong,” Franklin said. “For certain kids and certain families, Pitt's a really good option, as well"

Well, it does sound condescending. Where does he think he is coaching ? Harvard ???

Definitely throwing subtle digs Pitt's way. I think this quote was telling: “For us to go where we want to go, we want to keep all the best players in the state and all the best players in this region home. When I say home, that's Penn State. That's the land grant university. That's the state school.”. I don't fault him for saying it, he needs to. But I think he is trying to lump Pitt in the category of Temple and not as a legitimate threat. Will be an uphill battle this year w/ all of the new starters but I can only imagine how he spins it if we win again.

Barbour's quotes about not continuing the series because of the way fans treat each other are ridiculous. I didn't hear many complaints about over the top stuff after the game last year. Does she even know what a rivalry is supposed to look like?

She ought to hear about the old rivalry stories from Michigan and Ohio State.

You actually have to say "Mod who would like to be hired by Jerry Micco some day"
