Why you dap this post @DropTopDoc ? scUM is a bottom feeder unless you threw them in the bushes and strictly quack quacking around ya house now a days. :brutus:

Look at you watching my moves to start shyt, we took a step back to let our son shine (osu) you should thank your father


For what? Franklin basically just gets to hide behind OSU and Michigan year in and year out. They always have the 3rd best roster [until now] in the Big 10 whichbis enough to beat the Purdues and Iowas... 2 losses max makes his record look great on paper. He 🗑 🚮

I wouldn’t say hide, and his talent is up there, he just got a mental block

The pods are there to preserve rivalries, so y’all might get Oklahoma, TAMU and maybe lsu, and mizzou or Bama, from there you get a mixed bag, it was so you wouldn’t have some crazy shyt like TAMU not playing Florida or something along them lines
Arkansas would be the 3rd team. But Aggie doesn't want to be in our pod and they want to preserve a "rivalry" with LSU and share a pod with them, Ole Miss and Miss St.

But I get pods preserve rivalries and for scheduling purposes they can rotate playing other pods plus rotate 2 other teams. That gets you to a 9 game SEC schedule. Not sure if that fixes the strength of schedule issue but that is probably the best they can do at this point.

Lol..what?

For what
I'm pretty sure I explained why in the text you removed from my post before quoting. :skip: Everybody else caught on, maybe try reading again.

This is a weird one for me. I get PSU thinking they can do better, but they absolutely have to get the next hire right. Look at what happened with Nebraska and them shytcanning Bo Pelini, they've never recovered.

Then again, look at UGA and Mark Richt, they bring in Kirby and are in the NCG his second year.

I think Franklin's done a pretty good job there. I think if they don't make the CFP maybe you have the discussion about moving on

Thing is who’s better, and can improve because the leap from 10-11 wins is hard, Franklin keeps finding ways to do it and it’s wild, but that mf will style on Maryland. But like you said Mf’s can do worse… don’t be so quick to move on

I mean realistically if you take a step back I can't say he's done a bad job there. Cutting out the COVID year and 2021, they're consistently a top 10-15 level program, hell they won the Rose Bowl 2 years ago. That's gotta mean something. Even losing that game vs tOSU at home and not scoring a TD, they're still ranked 7th and have a pretty good shot at getting in the CFP.

Thing is, PSU wants more and their fanbase behaves as if they're Sabans Alabama.

What he's done would be exceptional at Iowa State but PSU considers itself a top 10 all time program.

It could be worse, It could definitely be worse. Word to me and my guys @Drake's Tan and @Whips-n-Chains :unimpressed:

As bad as MSU is, the O/U on wins was 5.5. We are essentially par for the course. It's dissatisfying to lose 2 games that were winnable but otherwise this was expected.

USC has been a disaster however for 2 straight years.
