1) couldn't give 2 shits about this guy; it's not the least bit important that he made a "TikTok" video for us, or anyone else, let's be honest here (sorry, OP, it's just NOT a big deal....). Never even heard of him before this thread TBH.

2) no big deal re: stadium and/or RAC...you can walk into both almost any day of the week....I'm sure however, at some point once in the "bowels" of SHI someone said something to him at some point. Not like he got into the locker room or Greg's office.
 
There is an entrance open sometimes because groups host meetings in the recruiting pavilion and the Audi Club. Also, there are workers coming and going during the day. At least he had complimentary things to say about the stadium, despite being totally off on the EL information. However, really should keep an eye on random wingnuts walking around the place unsupervised.

Super video.

Who does Pat have running facilities security?

Maybe it is the same person who ran the “extensive background check” on basketball coach Eddie Jordan.

I appreciate the video. Taxpayers should have access to facilities they fund.
 
My son is in HS and visiting colleges now and does this at every school we visit, but just the basketball courts.

No they shouldn't! Especially if they are taxpayers who send their kids to Penn State. 😉
Tictoc stuff usually leads to bad things like people eating Tide pods or vandalism by large groups of young people.
 
Some of you guys(i'm looking at you @AreYouNUTS and @WhiteBus) are really sounding like old men. I’m not on Tik Tok but I have a teenage son who is. And I can tell you GFed is well liked and has a good following. Cranky guys in their 50s and 60s are not his target audience.

It misses the point that both the RAC and stadium are usually open. Most people who see his videos are obviously not in New Jersey and so this showcases our school.

His Rutgers video was pretty basic but a lot of the other show much more behind the scenes stuff like locker rooms, indoor facilities etc. Some of the Big Ten and SEC ones he did are really good - you'll see stuff that you'd never see even if you go to a game there.

Florida State even gave him an escorted tour of their football building and stadium.

Have seen some of this guys other videos where he tries to stay at events as long as possible and be the last person to leave, he stayed at the Indy500 like 5 hours after it ended lol... Pretty cool that he finally made it to RU, the Mel Tucker mention triggered me...
Yup, some of these cranky old men don't get it. This guy has a big following... this is positive exposure. If you hate Tick Tok he's on you tube and twitter too.

Video was fine, all good there, just don't think it's a big deal. My guess is 90% of our fan base - or any other - have NO IDEA who this guys is, however, hence my comments. FSU gave him an "escorted tour." SO WHAT? lol...this means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things (see: uniforms....remember that great debate, lol, John polled like 1000 high school kids and "uniforms" came in 19th or so when it came to "importance in choosing a school").

Your son - great to hear he's being raised properly as a diehard CFB fan!!! - is in his wheelhouse, no question, but it's him/his peers, not us, who are in the minority here.

You are missing the point completely, not in the same universe.

3000'ish views on X ....425K followers on tiktok....let's not get too crazy here. My guess is I was wrong when I said "90%" above. Maybe - MAYBE - 2-3% of college football fans have ever watched his stuff and even fewer could tell you who is he "off the cuff." Let's be honest.

Still a good video though!

He didn’t do much research on where “52’s” devastating injury occurred. If you are a Tkki Tokker and going to mention that at least get it correct .Whether you are 20 or 120 no excuses.
 
His Great Adventure video yesterday has 2.1 million views and counting His Kentucky Derby has 9 million (way more than watched the race on TV). He's had more than 2 million views for his walk on challenge at Georgia.
He's way more relevant than anything any of us say here.
Never claimed to be "relevant" but, hey, at least I got 8 minutes or so on college football documentary!!!!

You're lost at sea, my man. It's 2024. Get with the times. You and I don't have to like it but social media influencers are relevant.
Trust me junior at 74 I’m probably as viable as most at 50. The typical lament by the peanut gallery board. His relevance and importance will wane over time. All things do.
 
Understood. Most are nobodies. GFed is't in the class of the heaviest hitters but he's carved out a solid niche for himself pretty quickly.
He does seem to be carving himself out a nice little niche, I’ll give you that, and good for him.
 
Everybody is a Media Influencer , Tik Tok Guru , Foodie Aficionado etc. but is it a real benefit or is it a temporary salve for a person’s boredom with their dull lives?
 
Which is where Giants and Jets play … it’s still Giants stadium no matter what . Call it what you wish but LeGrand’s injury was not at Rutgers.
