Dillon Gabriel and Aaron Rodgers

If they don’t try three straight goal line jumps with the back against Texas they’re easily bowling

This is just John Kruk and Tom McCarthy calling Phillies games

(The actual answer is throwing a bag and a half at DeBoer the second he loses in the CFP and Bama fans threaten to burn his house down)

have noticed a pretty big disconnect between what most people thought of rhule to penn state (obvious hire, checks all the boxes, would do great there) and what penn state fans thought of rhule to penn state (please do not hire matt rhule, we just fired a similar guy). really interesting.

Thank God. Penn State board MUST be

1. DeBoer
2. Chesney
3. Fran Brown
4. Hartline

Hey don’t sell yourself short, there’s a baseball term in your sentence

I couldn’t even begin to parse through the #context in these numbers, but at face value:

The 10-20 yard range is really the only one that matters for NFL scouting. Guys with higher CPOE there (quantity-dependent) will be better prospects.

Taylen Green hive, we up.

What a call for LA Tech on the second half kickoff

The entire experience of the past week has been a brutal reminder of everything Godfrey has shed light upon in the CFB industry, and a realization of how shielded a successful team with coaching stability is from the grotesque machine.

Pocono is at peak Fall foliage this weekend and the man HAD to be in Athens. Sad

First post-Franklin Saturday affirmation:

2026 Penn State HC Kalen DeBoer

It’s funny, during FIU-WKU there were moments in the second half where you could hear the echo of clapping and shouting from the sidelines reverberate in the stadium, and I remarked that it was very reminiscent of COVID era ball. And that game had 15K announced attendance!

There is a BC/AD level time distinction of before my 3yo discovered monster jam vs after. In six months he’s memorized like forty monster trucks and my wife just bought pre-show pit passes for April 2026 (!!)

Every national media member discussing their candidates for the Penn State head coach is on drugs.

Pat Fitzgerald?? Al Golden?? Eli Drinkwitz??????

Hooting, hollering, crying, wheezing

I will always love college football, because even after an embarrassing loss by my team, I can find joy in changing the channel to see Wyoming playing on a snow-covered field on October 4th.

Putting it on record that this is the worst loss since Temple. Not buying in to this team until Franklin is gone.

Reactionary: Fire him before the Ohio State game and throw Cig $20M a year, and no I don’t know if Penn St can afford that

Reality: “vote of confidence” with a stated desire to win out to make the playoff, and win a playoff game against non-G5. This will be a Clemson situation in 2026.

Narrowly beating out how unseriously they took the FIU game a few weeks ago

This implies that Will Campbell definitely could’ve worn the LSU 7 while playing left tackle

the tie persists regardless of your human expectation for narrative catharsis. the tie asks you to sit with this feelings of discomfort, of ambiguity. whether or not you meet the tie on its terms is up to you. it was here before you and will be here long after we are gone

Penn State football is like having a 90+ overall team rating but zero player abilities or X-factors

Trying not to be hyperbolic but I think that one was the breaking point for the fanbase into “It’s Never Happening”

I think Caleb Downs, Jeremiah Love, and Reuben Bain are the three best prospects in the 2026 Draft

That USC double pass nullified by penalty is the most rule of cool thing I’ve ever seen

@isthisbloodweek.bsky.social I got a feeling…..

It’s so sick that the Phantom Island episode on Thursday Night CFB comes out and two days later the most spiritually-ACC-Thursday game happens

Go Birds, fuck the Rams and all the podcasters who glaze them

> by two touchdowns
> at home
> as a 17.5 point favorite
