Franklin to Penn State

[OrangeBalls]

Clay Travis and Jimmy Frank are two peas in a pod. They're both egomaniacs who only care about themselves. They're both attention whores who think the world revolves around them. I just have to laugh every time Travis tries to act like he's rich. He doesn't know what real money is. He needs to talk to the Ingram family to figure that out.

Pretty much this; he's a Jim Rome wannabe.

But he also really likes to hitch his wagon to something and run with it. He got ticked at Dooley when Dooley embarrassed him at SEC Media Days and Travis hated him ever since. He was calling for Dooley's firing about 6 games into 2010. I don't think he has anything against Jones, well not yet at least.

And Franklin, same thing, he attached himself to him really early. Although if Franklin bombs at PSU, you'll likely never hear Travis talk about him anymore.

I didn't know about that. What happened?

I hope you do better prep and research for your classes than you just did by for this post. If this is a reflection of your ability then your students are doomed.

It was my first ever I am only on here once or twice a week.

They have lost about 6 commits today and about three have already jumped to PSU lol another couple VU commits have been offered by PSU as well. This is hilarious. They won't finish in the top 60

Taking commits with you; that's kind of sleezy.

Did Franklin ever meet with his team to tell them he was leaving?

 

[barney]

Kiffin did the same thing to us. Carta-Samuels has decomitted. Their class is falling apart right now.

 

[Aesius]

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't getting a little enjoyment out of this.

 

[Aesius]

Franklin is such a punk. I'm glad Vandy fans are finally finding that out the hard way, just like we did with Kiffin.

It may have been said, and I don't want to read through the whole thread, but Penn State fans have to be wondering what they got themselves into after that PC. Arrogance and chest-thumping galore, with little or no reference to the tradition and pride of a school that is, er, was, one of my non-Vol favorites.

As an Eagles fan, I tend to chat with a lot of penn state fans and they are in love with Franklin as coach.


"Home run hire" was a phrase that came up.

 

[Grayvol]

Maybe I just can't see it.

And quite possibly with the aftermath --- a hire of a clown like Dooley in a panic attempt to save the recruiting class.

You are fine. You didn't know any better.

100% agree. It's one thing if they liked him so much they would follow him anywhere, but he is actively offering Vandy commits.

 

[Escape Goat]

Yes. At like 8:00 or 8:30 am today.

 

[Freak]

$4.5 million, huh.

I didn't hear it myself, but from what I've always heard is that Travis was asking Dooley a question at Dooley's first SEC Media Days, and Dooley couldn't understand him and said "You've got marbles in your mouth". I think they used to even play it on 3HL.

Anyway, after that moment many believe Travis resented him because he felt Dooley embarrassed him in front of the rest of the media. It makes sense, because as I said Travis was openly ripping Dooley his first year and was calling for his firing about 6 games in.

Yup. At that time, he also took up permanent residence in Franklin's rectum.

Not that there's anything wrong with that?

Little did we know it was Jimmy Franks marbles.

Yes and I am confident karma will bite him on the A$$ for doing this. How can AD Williams let this happen... Self proclaimed friends.
