The Meltdown That is Happening on the Penn State Boards

I Love how ex-players are congratulating Shoop. Moving on to better things. That entire university deserves to burn for what happened there in the past. Everyone turned a blind eye to it. Also, you know it pisses Franklin off. I hate that guy.

Some things are the same no matter the fan base.



Wonder if Lovie Smith would be interested, though I think some NFL team will snap him up pretty quickly.

I'm surprised how quickly PSU has acknowledged the bad news of Shoops leaving.

They usually ignore bad things going on in their program.

To be fair, though, the NCAA totally screwed that whole mess up. They punished the KIDS--the players, the students, everyone but who deserved to be punished.

Penn State (the university) was amply punished only when they all lost their minds and hired Franklin.

And he won't have the pesky academics to worry about, either.

Tennessee can't compete with Penn State in the ratings game, so if it's the spotlight he seeks then there's no need to leave. Chris Ash and DJ Durgen both got head coaching gigs in less than two years, whereas it took Kirby Smart forever to do the same at Alabama in the SEC. If Shoop's ultimate goal is finding the fastest route to becoming a head coach, PSU loses a lot of horses whereas Tennessee is pretty loaded for the next few years. Was wondering how long we'd be able to keep Shoop and Pry together on the same staff. This might be best for PSU in the long run if Pry turns out to be as good as advertised.
They don't get it.

What many do not realize:

Pennsylvania has a rather high state income tax. Tennessee, along with Florida and Texas, are the only three states that do not have

Every time this comes up I feel compelled to correct it.

Tenessee in fact has an income tax, called the Hall Tax, on certain types of income.

Trust me, it can be killer depending on how you get paid.

Fortunately for UT coaches it pretty much doesn't apply to them.

Anyway, that's my PSA, carry on.

And plus, having lived up there for a year:

Pennsylvania sucks in winter.
Winter starts there in October or November.
Winter doesn't end there until April.

So yeah.

When you start talking quality of life, it doesn't get much more basic than not freezing your nuts off. :)
Our roads suck too. If you took doc and the delorian for a trip to the future you would still see nonstop road construction

Correct. And our dummy governor wants to keep it.

The Hall tax is a tax on dividend income not wages
