Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Moar Steam]

Wouldn’t surprise me if that’s total Athletic department. Their wrestling program alone is worth a lot of money

Out of the big three-football, men’s and women's basketball, PSU has only been good in football over the years. I would be surprised if they are getting anything close to the compensation that we will be starting next year.

 

[mrMet]

Is that true? Thought we were their face of college athletics?

How gullible are you?

 

[Adam Sandler]

on my rewatch, the OPI on Boo Carter at 45:03 is so egregious, I mean, come on. thats an easy pick

Vols Syracuse Full Game

I didn’t notice that live in the stands but yeah that definitely shoulda been called.

Out of the big three-football, men’s and women's basketball, PSU has only been good in football for the last several years. I would be surprised if they are getting anything close to what we will getting starting next year.

Wouldn’t surprise me if that’s total Athletic department. Their wrestling program alone is worth a lot of money

But there basketball programs and baseball/softball programs are worthless

 

[Christian Lowe]

generational levels of hating

 

[Jackcrevol]

Lol no way in hedes are South Carolina and clempsum on this list

or VPI

 

[Adam Sandler]

Wondering if this impacts us at all as the “flagship” school.

Better f’in not. I’ll be interested to see the terms of their deal. If it’s anywhere close to ours we should lobby for more.

 

[thistime]

I'm really of the opinion that this offense doesn't need a Super Star QB. You need a stronge arm yes but being smart and being invested in the system and being a team guy seems to be the real key. Hendon Hooker is a prime example by being a team player and running the system. Good things can and will happen and being a little slower at understanding what's happening and reacting or being a me, me type guy just won't work as well.

 

[mrMet]

Wrestling, cream of the crop…. I know you’re gonna say it’s only a fraction of the relevance as football, amd you’d be right. However, it carries a lot of weight since they are the best by a LONG shot, and Adidas has a good presence in that market.

No, I’m going to say football, baseball, softball, MBB, WBB, track & field, soccer, tennis, golf that we are all good/elite at. It’s not even remotely close

 

[RandomUTfan]

I wandered into the baseball forum. Those guys in there are just figuring out we landed Nate Ament.

 

[Vol423]

PSU has only been good in football for the last several years?

Yeah. That was a poorly constructed sentence. I did a double-take on that one before I figured out what he really meant to say.

 

[05_never_again]

I don't understand why people keep arguing that a contract that's 90% guaranteed is comparable to the one he had at Washington which was absolutely not. He didn't get 70 million dollars from Washington if he failed. Greg Byrne gave him that contract.

It's never been reported what the buyout was on Washington's contract offer. I bet it was substantial.

 

[RandomUTfan]

Yeah. That was a poirly constructed sentence. I did a double-take on that one before I figured out what he really meant to say.

I knew what you were saying! Just had to give you a hard time.

 

[JCVol00]

Is Penn State good at wrestling?

.

 

[Vol423]

I knew what you were saying! Just had to give you a hard time.

It wasn't me. I had the same reaction to it as you though.

 

[Jackcrevol]

With kids in the shower, yea

dude.

 

[RandomUTfan]

It's never been reported what the buyout was on Washington's contract offer. I bet it was substantial.

I'm just not going to argue with anyone whose contention is Deboer took that job for anything other than the money. Doesn't make sense for me to do that.

 

[05_never_again]

But there basketball programs and baseball/softball programs are worthless

The whole Big Ten is bad at baseball and softball, but it is astonishing how bad Penn St's basketball program is historically.

They've made the NCAAT just 5 times since 1965. They've had a winning record in Big Ten play 3 times since 1995-96.

 

[RandomUTfan]

It wasn't me. I had the same reaction to it as you though.

Gotcha. Could have looked. ha ha.

 

[Volunteer821]

dude.

Yikes. Not cool.

 

[SpringBokVol]

This system is designed for a quick thinker and someone who can read fast and move on fast.

 

[Moar Steam]

Yeah. That was a poorly constructed sentence. I did a double-take on that one before I figured out what he really meant to say.

I corrected my poorly constructed sentence for your reading pleasure. GBO.

Lol. The University Of Pennsylvania has been to the NCAA tournament 23 times since 1965, including a Final Four in 1979.

Good listen!
