Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[volbeast33]

My son’s football team made the state championship. I hope Grimsley is playing at the same stadium so I can watch him play.

Faizon seems like a class act and a guy who will be easy to root for. Hope he becomes a legend here.

Back when young, foolish and broke, my buddies and I would hit Krystal's and get a dozen of those small square jewels and dive in. The first 6 really hit the spot. After the next 6, the spot hit back....and kept hitting the rest of the night.

Still remember the Krystals for a Quarter commercials when in college. Helped keep the costs down even though the food didn't always stay down.

Was the krystals & fries cold or hot? There is no in between with Krystals

I grew when all Krystal sold were original burger, fries and chili. At the Krystal on Clinton Hwy you could watch them cook them right in front of you. Always hot and fresh.
My grandpa and grandma would take us on Friday evening to eat Krystal, then go across Clinton Hwy to go to Kmart and A&P Grocery Store. Great memories of my grandparents

Penn State where you fire a coach who is 104-45 with 6 10 win seasons for starting a season 3-3 after making the CFPs to hire a HC that's 107-70 and has only won 10 games in one season of his 15 doing it.

I am interested in seeing how much better Campbell can be with real support behind him though.

 

[SKV84]

The real insanity is that he's in our own backyard and won't wear orange.

That's because his dad is a b****.

I just saw a man open a can of Copenhagen without cutting the lid. . .

dude Penn State got so lucky with how this ended up playing out

I'm still not sure that Matt Campbell is an upgrade over Franklin, they're probably in the same tier IMO. Both good program builders that can take a small program to new heights or take a mid-tier program to 10 wins.

Don't know if someone like Campbell will take Penn State from a 10-win ceiling to 11+ wins and conference championships.

However, considering where the search was heading, they got bailed out. I don't know what they would have done if they didn't get Campbell.

I genuinely wonder who can make Penn St that good..

OSU has such a monopoly on talent and so does Michigan really

I mean, can you get enough talent up there? Overcome OSU and MI then beat whatever SEC teams in the playoffs?

I know his teams choked, but let's say they didn't choke last year or other years against Ohio State? Who are they beating for a national title? Those Saban Bama teams? Georgia? LSU? Trevor Lawrence and Clemp?

Maybe they've just been missing a generational QB. That definitely held them back. They weren't winning a title with Allar or Trace McSorely.

I can see the reasoning behind this. Franklin just couldn't win the big games (i.e. Michigan and Ohio State). Also interested in seeing Campbell with those resources.

I used to go to the original Krystals in downtown Nooga.

 

[jakez4ut]

I wonder if he ever learned to read.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Now 62-14 Westview, start of 3rd qtr.

Westview called off the dogs. Only scored 7 in the 3rd.

 

[SugarCC]

After all of that, they're going to come away with the best hire of them all.

 

[Orangeburst]

In & Out coming to Nashville,Nooga and Knoxville

 

[Enki_Amenra]

G-P looses 62-21

 

[UTK]

Penn State somehow backed into the best hire of the cycle

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Argument would be Campbell hasn't either... but he's never had a clear talent advantage for the big games Penn State has with Franklin before and still lost.

Also Campbell has far less skeletons in the closest and for a HC is about as clean as they come.

 

[SmokinBob]

If you cap it we just return to before with under the table payments that give certain schools more advantages (and unfair policing/punishment). At least this way its all out in the open.

I remember Kiffin said something like at LSU, the entire state is aligned just like Alabama. I think bowlcut said the same thing about Georgia….I think your point is valid. I think the “market” will adjust…

 

[Type Orange+]

Yeah, really.

Now that's real talent.

 

[SmokinBob]

are you surtain?
