Which is entirely irrelevant.

Ned is the a = b of college football.

It’s just relevant when that guy is bringing both into the same conversation.

If you want to make comparisons to "stinky" Pitt QB's of late (which you did), UPS could have been a legit championship threat in 2017 with Peterman.

Trace McSorley stinks. Pitt fans expend a large amount of energy dodinting about denucci. I can’t see why Penn State fans don’t do the same with mcsorley

This guy gets it. Mcsorley is the Achilles heel of this offense.

Yep. And I'm beginning to think that the reason they run the shotgun run/pass option has more to do with Trace's limitations than this type of offense being Moorehead's grand scheme.

EPP level of logic right here.

Oh keep dreaming.

Trying to stay positive now (though it seems no one can): Stewart Mandel still has the Lions #10.

Yes I’m mad the playoff is seemingly out of reach. But yes I will still be happy if the Lions win 10, get to a nice bowl game, win it and finish the season ranked in the Top 10.

We still want Bama.

Postby **Nittany Ned** » Sun Nov 05, 2017 1:08 pm

Bama’s D is so good, it doesn’t matter that Jalen Hurts/their offense is very mediocre. Though they’ve yet to really play anyone of note themselves.

Down to 16 in the AP. Figured it'd be about there. Now the goal is just don't lose any of these stupid games down the stretch, win a good bowl game, and move on to next year sans Saquon.

Everyone knows that Ned is a nutter. Calm yourself.

It amused me.

Stop **** caring about rankings. The AP and coaches polls don’t mean **** anymore other than to artificially pat yourself on the back.

Postby **count2infinity** » Sun Nov 05, 2017 9:16 pm

I still care. Obviously I’m not freaking out about the 16 ranking. I figured it’d be there. The season is pretty much over at this point. Might as well cheer for them to get as high as possible.

That didn't work for Martavis.

Legally high, that is.

Is Stewart Mandel a nutter? He has us #10.

Well, of the 2 loss teams, our losses were probably the best, close and on the road to ranked teams. But whatever, doesn’t matter too much now.

If they can take care of business and win out they should find themselves back in the Top 10.

I enjoy PSU's downfall just cause Ned takes this all way too seriously.

c2i/shaf/mac etc... all do this in good fun. Ned takes it way too seriously.

One of the many reasons we have a superior thread.*

Postby **Morkle** » Mon Nov 06, 2017 9:22 am

I actually have a question for Penn State fans - The Fan was railing on Franklin this morning for the handshake thing today and basically said to not put it past him that it was pre-meditated to get the heat off of him/team for losing so poorly.

How do you guys feel about that? I personally never even though that it could have been staged, but the cynical side in me says, yea - why couldn't it because that was a terrible loss and now he's smelling like roses to a degree.

Postby **columbia** » Mon Nov 06, 2017 9:30 am

That's a pretty cynical take (by da FAN).

Postby **slappybrown** » Mon Nov 06, 2017 9:37 am

Lol leave it to da FAN to make ups seem sympathetic

That's incredibly dumb
