IDGAF about no Mike Dantonio though :dahell:
But it proves my point....

How does MARK Dantonio, at MSU with less resources and less NFL talent win bigger games than James Franklin at a near-blue blood level school?

How does MEL TUCKER of all people have a better record vs. michigan than franklin (and day for that matter)?

They were favored, and again, only in that rose bowl b/c the 4 team playoffs didn't include the rose that year.

ftr, I'm not saying James hasn't won big games. He has, but he has a terrible record in them 4-20 or something vs. top 10. To get to the next level you have to win games when the cards are stacked against you, when you're not the favorite. Sherrone Moore did it twice in 2 tries, that's impressive. Jim did it in columbus, and Jim beat saban too. Urban took the 4th seed to a championship and won.

You'd probably say Franklin is better than Dantonio, and I'd say you have an argument as Franklin is more consistent, but Dantonio beat OSU 3 times in 5 years, twice on the road, once against a 24-0 OSU team for a B1G championship. Beat Jim in the big house twice too, never as the favorite.
Dantonio punched above his weight class in big games pretty frequently. He was a miserable, grumpy bytch but he was like 10-5 against top 10 teams at one point.

2025 season, with their schedule (home vs. oregon, and @ osu as their two big games), will prove if your boy Franklin can get it done and at least get to the title game. PSU should be pre-season top 4.

I'd be fine with them being #1 tbh

With losing the #1 DC, a gang of senior level talent + leadership on both sides of the ball, possibly losing our OC, we should be like 8-9 at best

Why y'all lowballed Knowles?


I think I'll believe mfs on the Nut Beat ⏸️ before this dodo...and word is bro went 0 dark 30, and was contacting pedo st as early after the game ended in ATL.

And word also is, like Omar said, "it's not about Cha money bruh, u still don't get it" when talkin' to da homie Stringer, Clay Morrow was standin' on biz after gettin' his feelings hurt when Day stepped in after the 1st ORE game which is crazy since the def only went on to level tf up after that sum'n crazy so Day must have been on to sum'n.

Last few pages displays why this thread shouldn't be made until 8/1. A whole lot of useless drivel. But I'll let you frenemies have it. Soon the LSU brehs will be in here beating their chest over spring/summer recruiting wins.
Same 5 people in here talking to each other every day about nothing.
