If ND calls James Franklin is definitely listening

"medixman, post: 1601289, member: 28301"]Why would Psu fans be baffled by that margin of defeat?
Well, you were talking a different tune earlier this year? It wasn't about what you thought of the defense, it was how bad the OL and Offense performed? You said it would improve from last year?

When your three starting lbs are out and then you lose your middle backer in the first half and then his backup your up Crap Creek without a paddle! That and it's against a top 5 team at their place with a very zealous coach that score didn't surprise me!
All good points, and are acceptable DC Pry first year is looking worse than DC Shoops from last year. The Target Ref Call was horrible and really did damage. But Aged Wolverine did warned the PSU Posters that Harbaugh was going to destroy Franklin & Staff & Team. I know he corrected me early this year when he taught me how many Top Players would be back. AW knows his Michigan FB.

I was disappoint but not surprised.Captain,Holgy will beat K-State Saturday in Mo-town take it to THE bank!
I am going to disagree with you, KSU's Snyder is a kind of Coach that has Players ready with Great Game Plans. But no question Holgrosen should be favored at Home. So you got that going for you. We shall see?

PSU is favored by 2 at Home any thoughts on how OLC Limegrover will do against his Old Team when he was OC/OLC? What will be the score?

Pitt will have kinks that still linger due to Doc Holiday good coaching but should win in the end. Not sure on GT or UVA next though?Any thoughts on that score too?

WVU is in the lead right now over Pitt and Penn State but all 3 need to become better.

I don't think they need Franklin to get the best players from Pa!
I concur, Pitt needs to be better and Penn State too, ND has some kind of hold right now taking some of Best PA Recruits in 2017 and 2018 from both.

Michigan did that under Lloyd Carr with a Former Pitt Player Michigan DBC Coach Teryl Austin from 1999-2002, taking some great Blue Chippers from Penn State Backyard and Pitt too.

Carr used those Pennsylvania Gems to beat Paterno 9-2 from 1995 to 2007 at a 818% Win Clip, plus won a shared NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP in 1998, but Paterno beat Carr in his first two years, 27-17, and 29-17 with Sandusky's Defenses!

This is when Joe ripped on the Big Ten Refs and PSU Fan base called them "Referines"!

Harbaugh grabbed Hudson this year for his Wolverines, over Pitt & Penn State that would have started Hudson in my opinion? Both need Linebackers right now!
 
Captain if Leftwich was QBing Marshall Saturday Pitt still wins by 2tds.Doc's a good coach but doesn't have the horses!Holgy will be ready Saturday,its a sellout,people are excited in town.This is the one he has to have and he'll get it in a close one.Synder has gotten him in the past but not this time.Ok finally Psu will beat Minnosota Saturday (by 7)and Limegrover will be an important part of the win. Franklin will pull out everything he hasn't shown yet in that Playbook,he has to win,like Narduzzi did against him!I just hope the linebackers hold up for the whole game.

I can't argue History what ifs, but you may be right? Yet, BL always had leg problems staying healthy, but could throw like a rocket.

Doc's a good coach but doesn't have the horses!
Pitt and WVU once consider him. I agree a good coach.

Holgy will be ready Saturday,its a sellout,people are excited in town.This is the one he has to have and he'll get it in a close one.Synder has gotten him in the past but not this time.
I love Snyder as a coach, grabs many JUCO's and turns them into great Teams. Darren Sproles just ran over the Steeler's last week was a KSU Player?

Ok finally Psu will beat Minnosota Saturday (by 7)and Limegrover will be an important part of the win.
Ok, can't refute you, PSU OLs will be wanting to play great for OLS Limegrover after the Michigan beat down. Minnesota may have the Offense but they have a leaky Defense like Pitt! Glen Mason used to drive Paterno Nuts from 1997 to 2005, and went 4-4 against Joe!

Franklin will pull out everything he hasn't shown yet in that Playbook,he has to win,like Narduzzi did against him!
Great observation as far as I am concern and good prediction!

I just hope the linebackers hold up for the whole game.
I see Penn State wins it on Offense in 30 point close game? Maybe 34-32? Don't know just a guess.

I can't link the article but Sandy Barbour flat out denied that Franklin's job is safe and secure. Was in this morning's Altoona Mirror but they have the articles locked down so there's no point in sharing it.

She defends the guy to the point that it's almost embarrassing. Remember this summer when she was running around crying the blues about negative recruiting with him? Same lady that had to call Pitt about the "Joe Knew" t-shirts too.

She's as goofy as James. Neither of them are going anywhere and I'm glad.
