That's a shame. Before he ever really got a chance to shine on a different level. Too bad. Best goes out to the young man and may nothing but brightness come through his door for future endeavors.

Technically I believe he is wrong on one point: I think that the under .500 record for bowl games is out. Anyone can get in those games that are played. So we could go 3-5 in the regular season, beat Illinois or Minnesota for the 9th game and then win a bowl game to go 5-5.

DE Carl Nassib with an interception and 23 yard return for the Raiders yesterday

Man - what is going on with PSU?

Missing their 2 best players isn't helping. But they still wouldn't be very good with them. Just not as bad.
On a simple level, I think the loss to Indiana took the air out of the tires. Until yesterday, the team had not had a lead for 12+ quarters after that pylon play.
Uncharacteristically high number of turnovers this year, which seems to lead to the wheels falling off each game. Overall poor and inconsistent (and below-average P5) QB play
Poor defensive schemes and execution, especially with the LBs and secondary. Even in other poor years, usually PSU defense has been able to keep them in games. Not this year.
Hearing rumblings of discontent in the locker room. Will be interesting to watch the transfer portal this offseason.

Is someone seriously offering a bowl bid, lol. If they are, take it. Do they deserve it? Absolutely not.

What do you think of the Yurcich hire?
I feel really bad for Ciarrocca... and even though PSU's offense didn't click at the beginning, I really liked what he was doing with the offense. I also loved that he was a central PA guy growing up in Lewisberry, practically in my backyard.
In a way I feel like this doesn't have much to do with Ciarrocca. Yurcich was a big name. I think he was Franklin's first pick for the job when it was eventually given to Ciarrocca. He bacame available and Franklin pounced when he had the opportunity.
I also think he be gone soon, but I am actually somewhat impressed that Franklin is taking this shot.

Agree. Like that he is taking his shot. Feel bad for Kirk, although I was annoyed by the play calling at times last year.
I've heard, and believe is true since it's somewhat common, that Yurich was the first choice but that Ohio State did not allow him to interview with other B1G schools so he want to Texas and we got Ciarrocca.
We'll see how it goes.

Did we ever find out what happened to @ClownCausedChaos2? I imagine he has kidnapped by Pitt students and is hog tied in the basement of the Cathedral of Learning on a diet of water and Slim Jims.

It’s a tough game to work out the kinks. I’m going to call it an escape.
It’s now been 3,570 days since lost to the Badgers…which is longer than our streak against sPitt.
Clifford will not get you guys to a big game. He’s just not good. He hit two completely wide open guys and made one more guy have to stop and wait for what seemed like 5 seconds. Every other pass that wasn’t a dump off, looked terrible. Anything downfield with coverage was a miss. He’s not good enough to beat any of the top teams.

Lot of fun to finally get to Madison. Great city and campus. Most people were nice, although the students were #####.
Jump Around was really cool, but that place was pretty silent the last 10 minutes of the game. It was weird. Several other PSU fans we talked to after the game mentioned it.

Black Shoe Diaries: recruiting
If we can keep a big time Ohio recruit out of the Suckeyes hands, that's a win for us.

Ohio State is loaded at Qb. If he were to go there it may be 2 or 3 years before he would start. They already have the number one 2022 Qb.
Seems to happen just about every year, with the main difference this time being that Helton is actually gone and there is actually an opening.
When he was hired, I remember Franklin saying something like “I’m a Pennsylvania boy with a Penn State heart”. Guess we will see. His goal is to win a national championship and if he thinks USC is an easier path to doing so I could see him leaving. He has already been @ PSU longer than any other stop in his career I think.
I don’t think he jumps yet, but I also doubt he will be here all that much longer whether he leaves for another college job or jumps back to the pros. If/when he does leave, I appreciate what he has done to help “Restore the Roar”.
