What the hell?? National rankings, bragging rites, and all of the comparison SportsHoopla that goes with. Do you three dudes think about anything past the obvious?

Or the relevant?

But seriously, sure they are in contention or even a lock for a January 1 six bowl bid. They've done that many times. The one contest that they haven't yet participated in still eludes the program. And they never will with the current format as the format changes next year.

We are number 3 .... not a bad place if you get to be number 2 or number 1 occasionally. 4-16. But otherwise a good year.

Pretty excited about the hiring of Andy Kotelnicki as OC.

Bummed about that, I was hoping we could have kept him another year or two with Kotelnicki.

I loved Manny's high risk high reward defense. I imagine he is taking some of his assistants. The defense was the fun part of watching the team the last couple of years.

Once again, Penn State and that incestuous shithole of a place, Happy Valley (where I spent 8 years of my life as a graduate student) is in the middle of another scandal. This time the medical treatment of players is the tip of the proverbial iceberg! If the details of the article have any truth to them, this could be a Pandora's box that "could" lead to potential NCAA sanctioning, maybe!

Penn State’s Horrifying Treatment of Football Players Is the Norm

The shocking revelation this week about how the Nittany Lions treated a suicidal player is indicative of a broader epidemic in the sport, where team physicians routinely side with coaches over players’ medical needs.

Penn State used to be known for its great LBs. Now it is becoming known for its excellent O-lineman and maybe their D-lineman. Got another signee that is going to be a good one.

Cooper Cousins' 2024 Penn State football player profile

Cooper Cousins is about as college ready as it comes for a true freshman, but can he crack the lineup for a talented Penn State offensive line?

Penn State opens the season today, August 31 against the west Virginia Mountaineers. No score yet.

 

[Retroram52]

Penn State wins big against the Mountaineers with a 34-12 score. Opens the season with the win.

Dominant effort. We were getting no respect before this game and probably still aren't getting much. Nice to see Allar spread the ball all over the field for big yards and the offense was very balanced. 216 yards passing with only 17 attempts. Singleton with 114 yards rushing via only 13 carries. Pretty much did whatever we wanted to do, except kick a damn field goal. Can we get a decent kicker!? Is it THAT difficult!?! Aside from that, this team is looking strong virtually everywhere else.

 

[Retroram52]

The NFL is having the same problem with finding reliable kickers, Maverick. Damn Gen Z little snowflakes!!

PSU is home today, September 7, 2024 against Bowling Green. Should be another interesting Penn State Game.

Laying 34.5 points, hopefully it isn’t interesting at all……

PSU defense looking porous so far

 

[Pure Steel]

Ugly win…..

 

[Sportster 72]

True, but I will take it.
