Fun fact James Franklin has 9 bowl games in the past 9 years and this is his 10th season! Y’all should be grateful for this amazing coach . Joe Paw has more but also coached for 46 years with 37 bowl appearances. Franklin will be here a long time.

[@kevinchandler179]

True, but Joe Pa also has the most bowl victories by far, and averaging it out, Joe Pa is a frickin legend 👏!!!! WE ARE

[@jedsmith6680]

I truly hope your kidding. If you think real penn state fans accept losing to Ohio State and Michigan and calling that success your sadly mistaken

[@chaseschneier1076]

The elephant in the room is the historic inability of Penn State to develop and showcase a NFL calibre QB. Besides Kerry Collins, there have been no other PSU QB's who have made any noise in the NFL, even under JoPa. This record doesn't draw top talent. Maybe with a new OC this can change.

[@chrisw4192]

Todd Blackledge,Kerry Collin’s , Mike Robinson, Trace McSorley,Matt Mcgloin and this is off the top of my head. Pretty solid QB class right here.

[@TheYates27]

What about Allar ?

[@chaseschneier1076]

Chrisw, how many of that “pretty solid class” were high draft picks or went anywhere in the NFL?!

[@FranklinFanatic]

James Franklin has locked and loaded Penn state with top tier rich deep quarterback talent all the way to 2029

[@BiglyPigly45]

We have a quarterback commit.

[@BeetleBeetle]

@@BiglyPigly45a bunch of them thanks to Coach Franklin. WE ARE! Retain the roar!!!

[@allensaunders449]

As s top program you recruit every year nomatter what. If you loose some to the portal then oh well thats the part of doing business. Can't not recruit to placate a current player in addition

[@LEE_65]

Did you just say that Penn State chose BK over Washington? BK is not a good QB and they not getting Matt Z.

[@LockedOnNittanyLions]

Technically, they are choosing Kritza over Washington. If they wanted Washington that badly, they could tell Kritza to de-commit and then bring in Washington.

[@chrisw4192]

We are linebacker U not QB U. Defense wins games especially in the big 10 watch what happens to Oregon USC and Washington this season when it’s 5 degrees wind blowing snowing sleeting and they look across at a defensive player in a T-shirt pads and jersey bare armed. That is real football!!!

[@mr.ohiostate2544]

How many b10 games where played in that weather last 3 years? Oregon will finish second this year in the b10.

[@kevinchandler179]

Nope, good point 👉!!! I have said that exact same thing, Oregon, USC, UCLA, and Washington are going to find out that we play this thing called defense in Happy Valley, Big House, Columbus and Iowa and Wisconsin even!!! They will see 👀!!!!! WE ARE

[@LockedOnNittanyLions]

Weather is one thing, but it's the style of football that you're alluding to. I'm not sure how prepared these Pac 12 schools will be to face the Penn State / Michigan / Illinois / Iowa / Wisconsin types multiple times in one season.

[@mr.ohiostate2544]

@LockedOnNittanyLions outside of a season where the coaching staff was punished and still being investigated for how has that b10 football played out vs good teams period? Don't count Ohio St since you did not mention them. This is not the old B10 that many of us loved. Today's b10 is just not scary otherwise Ohio State would not have ran it for over 20 years before a cheating team emerged. Oregon will be fine and likely second or 3rd most years. Washington they were never great and USC well they just need a decent coach.

[@TheYates27]

Fun Fact: Penn State will start next season off with a loss.

[@TimM-wk1zx]

Penn State could have Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger as their QB’s, and they won’t win an NCAA Championship.
Maybe the worst all time sideline coach, who is making 175k a week. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Here’s how outta touch Psu Fan and State College are, let’s spend 700Million on renovations for a facility that gets used for 3 months and a concert every 8 years.
Ppl use the argument about TRADITION as to not close the stadium with a roof….it used to be tradition to take a horse and buggy to the store also. Time has passed this stadium by….Time has passed the ppl by that don’t want a roof. Are these same ppl washing their clothes with a rock? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@chrisw4192]

Jealous? We have the money to refurbish a stadium that’s been around for 130 years. Have you been there? It’s an amazing stadium that needs love since PSU puts 110000 in that stadium every home game. And we have one of the best head coaches in the country and the best fans!!!

[@TimM-wk1zx]

If that’s you in the pic, I was there 25 years before you were born, and the very same ppl are still standing in line to go to the bathroom. Ur idiocy is showing through that 110k ppl think it’s relevant to sit outside and watch a game, when the best seat in the house is in front of a good tv. 3/4th of a billion for nicer bathrooms and luxury boxes….sounds like money well spent. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
Lastly, if you think Franklin is the best coach in the country, you need drug tested….How is his record against top 10 programs. The man that carried a water cup following Saban on the sidelines at Bama, knows more about Football than Franklin.
