    OSU not in the mix?

    UCF could go undefeated for the next 10 seasons. As long as we have a four-team playoff, UCF plays in the AAC, and its "marquee" wins are against the likes of Maryland and Pitt, UCF isn't getting in. Nor would it deserve to. I am a proponent of an eight-team playoff that includes an auto bid for...

    James Franklin Going To USC?

    I guess. Greg Schiano isn't a very good head coach, and he certainly doesn't have the resume to be the head coach at a "name brand" program, whether that's Penn State, Ohio State, USC, or any number of other places. I don't think Tennessee fans went about it the right way, but they were...

    James Franklin Going To USC?

    There would probably be a vocal minority of PSU fans who would endorse a Schiano hire because we'd line up under center again and maybe use a fullback. But the fans who get it, which includes a lot of the fans that actually buy tickets, would not be supportive. I personally would drop my...

    James Franklin Going To USC?

    Thoughts from a PSU perspective: Franklin: This is likely coming from his agent, as Franklin has harped on increasing the salary pool for his assistant coaches essentially since he was hired. This could also be related to his relationship with AD Sandy Barbour. My sense is Franklin wants to...

    Isn't it in the Big Ten's best interests for Rutgers to be good in football?

    I don't think the B1G's bottom line is impacted much whether Rutgers goes 0-12 or 12-0. The same amount of TV money rolls in. The same amount of teams earn postseason money.

    Brohm

    Purdue is investing in that program right now. It'll be an attractive job for guys who have been successful at lower levels. It's probably a better job at this moment, but Brohm's ties run deep at Louisville. He gone.

    Carino: Rutgers vs. Penn State football: 5 reasons why James Franklin is the worst

    Jerry should probably clear some room in his trophy case for a Pulitzer after this hard-hitting piece of journalism.

    Poll: Is this season a success if we beat PSU?

    I can't understand how anyone could vote "yes." No matter how much you hate another opponent, there's no way a 2-10 season can be considered a success.

    OT: Heading to Charleston, S.C.

    Eat. It's good there. Husk, Lewis BBQ, Xiao Bao Biscuit, Rodney Scott's BBQ, and Leon's Fine Poultry & Oysters are all worth checking out depending on what you're into. And if you make it to Sullivan's Island: The Obstinate Daughter. Drink. Great beer at Charles Towne Fermentory, Westbrook, and...

    Taking shots at Penn State recruiting seems ... strange. Even for this board.

    James Franklin's Post Game Presser...Very Impressive

    I think different people will read into Franklin's comments in different ways. But I highlighted one of your comments above because that's the crux of the issue Franklin was getting at it here. I'm not sure that PSU played to its full potential Saturday night - lots of missed tackles still...

    James Franklin's Post Game Presser...Very Impressive

    And if you eliminate his Vanderbilt tenure and the two seasons at PSU when he didn't have a complete roster Franklin is 4-5 against T25 teams with the last four losses coming by a total of eight points. It look Nick Saban eight years to win 10 games and 14 to win a national title. Urban Meyer...

    James Franklin's Post Game Presser...Very Impressive

    Anytime you're replacing a three-year starter and Heisman-level quarterback there's going to be a certain level of uncertainty heading into the next season. That said, there will be a healthy competition, and I believe whoever wins the starting job will be capable of winning a lot of football...

    James Franklin's Post Game Presser...Very Impressive

    That's quite bold of you, taking the second best coach in the country and a future Hall of Famer over James Franklin. Franklin has won some big games, by the way, as evidenced by the B1G Championship ring he has, and there are undoubtedly more big wins to come. The fourth down call was awful...

    I’ll relent on Schiano

    Idiotic? Schiano won a share of one conference title after Miami, Virginia Tech, etc. had left the Big East. He won Texas, International, PapaJohns.com, St. Petersburg and Pinstripe bowls. And he only finished one season ranked in the top 25. What am I missing? Because that's not exactly a Hall...

    I’ll relent on Schiano

    From 2005-2011, Schiano's teams went 4-7 against T25 teams and 19-21 against teams that are currently in P5 leagues. Keep in mind, of those 19 wins, only three came against teams that finished with a winning record (Louisville and Kansas State in 2006, Pitt in 2008). The bottom line on Schiano...

    I’ll relent on Schiano

    A lot of selective memory on this board as it relates to Greg Schiano. Big games? Schiano's RU teams went 4-18 vs. T25 opponents. Here's the list of Big East and major conference teams that Schiano beat that finished the season with a winning record: 2006 USF, Louisville, Kansas State 2007...
