Eh, it was one of the most obvious holds I’ve seen all year. The play where the psu defender #11 broke right up the middle and our guard had his arm wrapped around the guys neck to pull him down from the opposite shoulder pad…. It was as obvious of a hold as you are ever going to see.
Halftime Schiano Screaming at PSU QB and refs..

- Start date
I'm a big Schiano fan, but I shook my head when I heard that. A well-coached team recovers from adversity. A bad call in the first half in a close game shouldn't be decisive.
Yes, Paterno wanted us in the Big Ten, but for Penn State's benefit -- he didn't want Penn State to be the east-most team in the conference. Beside, we were a certain win every year.
The reasons you can debate all you want, the reality is this board hates paterno, and loves being in the big 10…. We aren’t in the Big 10 without paterno. Just the reality. No I’m not defending him turning a blind eye, what I’m saying is our fans are too dumb to realize he was essential to our successes. Heck what coaching tree did Greg Schiano come from? Pretty hilarious how much our fanbase hates paterno and yet we owe basically all of our successes to him
"Essential" is pretty strong. Paterno stopped coaching the year before we were invited to the Big Ten. There were lots of reasons the Big Ten invited us. The endorsement of a coach who had left his school in disgrace was at best a minor one. BTW, I agree that the Paterno hatred on this board is overdone, but it's partly just general hatred of Penn State.
We are in the B10 because we are a large flagship State U in the largest media market in the country.
Essential…. We don’t even get a seat at the table to start negotiations without paterno. Additionally we never get Greg schiano without paterno…. Sucks for our fans to hear, but yes, Rutgers would be UConn without paterno
That played a role, but make no mistake, it doesn’t happen without paterno. The good old boys at the big 10 only listened to their own clique back then
He was 4-12 in the BIG. Two of those wins were Indiana.As a RU HC Flood’s 27-24 record remains the gold standard during B1G play. His 8-5 B1G record in 2014, incldg a bowl win vs UNC and a win vs Michigan, would thrill RU fans today.

He’s sucked too. With most of those losses beatdowns.
C'mon . . he was dead by then. The Big Ten took us for the only reason that matters in conference realignment: money.
GS already had 5 B1G wins in the same time span as Flood. And unlike Flood, GS actually had some competitive losses.
The Venn Diagram of Floodies and GS haters is a circle because the Floodies are just trolls.
I guess Flood was better because he was getting blown out by Houston and Kent State versus top 10 teams. Yes those were the days!
Not to mention Flood had GS' players while GS is playing with Ash players and 19 year olds.
4-10 (he missed two big ten Games). 28.6 winning percentage
Greg is 6-20 as of last night. A 23.1 winning percentage.
Flood >>>>>> Greg. Stats show
If only Greg could have a similar winning percentage than Flood in the big ten. (We’d at least look better)
Team closest should go first. Team on other side of field goes 2nd. Pretty simple concept.
Comparisons between Flood's and Schiano's records are silly. They took the reins in totally different situations.
Wouldn’t the appropriate hosting manners/etiquette be to allow the visitor to go first?
Kinda like your Schiano doll that gives you the warm and fuzzy.
That's not how it works. You can stop looking for something to pretend to have an issue with.
Not necessarily appropriate. It's not about courtesy, there's a protocol in place and it's easy to follow. And it's rather common practice around college football and basketball in situations where the access is shared.
More like: house rules - we go first. Practice this during your walkthroughs...
Actually, there doesn't seem to be a set rule. At Michigan's stadium, the visiting team gets to go into the tunnel first. There are very few stadiums with only one tunnel. Schiano says in the linked article that our stadium is supposed to get a second tunnel and says (this was before the Penn State game) that there's never been a problem. Franklin says a conference-wide policy is needed, and for once he has a point. I can easily see how the Penn State QB might have thought that his team was entitled to go in first. https://www.whec.com/national-sports/tussles-in-stadium-tunnels-a-throwback-issue-in-older-venues/
He's a State Penn Pedophile Enabler, so what do you expect?
Kind of like that blowup doll you have in place of a woman, oh, wait.....completely different usage, never mind.
That was my point. PSU, Nebraska and Maryland get screwed by the officials as well.
I believe he meant a rule by stadium, not a rule across all stadiums.
It's not clear to me because the only places it's an issue are Michigan and us. Every other Big Ten stadium has two tunnels. (That's what the article I linked earlier says; there are very few one tunnel stadiums any more.) Anyway, here's the best story I could find: https://www.foxnews.com/sports/penn...higan-stadium-problem-after-halftime-incident
Everybody always feels screwed by the officials. To take a pro football example, last week the Eagles were screwed by a missed face mask call; this week the Eagles were benefited by a missed face mask call. It seems to me that it ought to be pretty easy to see that a ball carrier's face mask is being pulled, but evidently not.

Schiano is really good at yelling at things, I wonder if that’s part of his comp plan.
The list of things Greg is better at than winning football games continues to grow.

We are seeing some cracks because GS knows the same thing many of us fan's know. This new system has adversely affected what he does well as a coach, recruiting and talent evaluation.
So it is harder for him to keep the stress under his collar.

Penn state applied and was rejected by the big east. Hard to join a league that won’t admit you. The Big East blew up the Big East with that vote.
This is true. Penn State was rejected by a single vote. Tranghese, then assistant commissioner, told his boss Dave Gavitt that the Big East would rue the day. (I have a link from bleacherreport.com, but for some reason it won't show on this site.)

Couldn't you say that about every single head coach Rutgers football has had since it decided to go Big Time ?
Yes, he should just defer to your prestige.
F*ck off.
And that's exactly what he told them.
So one additional score by Rutgers would not have made it closer at halftime?
Your comprehension skills are are lacking.....
Go back to State Penn.....
