It remains a bit amazing at how much money coaches make when they get a star quarterback (or running back in Michigan State's case)

Weren't they a gnat's rear end away from firing him a couple years ago?

BoB objectively is a good QB coach with a terminal case of West Coast offense brain. I don’t hate getting a QB coach who isn’t Urban Meyer’s son in law who has a brain for quick game stuff because we need an actual dedicated QB coach and a radically different quick game.

I’m sure his calls are going to drive me crazy, but I do not think you understand how bad Day is at calling games outside of “big game” environments now because he just doesn’t spend time on it. 1st or 2nd and 10? Boundary stretch or snag. 3rd and long? 989 or slot fade. Can’t block today? Mesh or tight zone with bubble relief. He can still call a freak game like Georgia, but it’s a consistency issue for him. If BoB is capable of being even an average play caller, then we are talking about literally a purely additive situation in like 10 of 12 games this year.

I’m expecting this is going to mean new OL coach as well because the pass protection will get significantly more complicated if he brings some of his NFL stuff in.

Unless he's changed a lot he won't be helping from a recruiting standpoint. It's one of the things he seemed to hate about college football along with dealing with normal non-football related college stuff (boosters, fundraising, facilities, etc etc).

There's a tribal casino near me that's been running a radio ad recently along the lines of "Inflation got you down? Solve your financial woes by winning BIG!" and it's probably the single worst thing I've ever heard on any kind of advertisement in any medium. Just really gross, sick poo poo.

Anthony Morelli

But because it was Pennsylvania, you had to have a lot of guys with names with lots of extra letters and Zs too

Lee Kuzemchak
Mike Pawlikowski
Andrew Szczerba
Stefen Wisniewski

I did not include Paul Posluszny because he was too obvious to include and is the ultimate in "Pittsburgh area guy with incredibly Polish name."

State College isn't exactly Mexican food mecca but also, other cities... exist??

There are like half a dozen great Mexican restaurants in Pittsburgh just off the top of my head

State College literally had no Mexican restaurants for like over a decade, and before that the only Mexican restaurant when I was a student was a Chi Chis (an old chain restaurant that apparently still has one location open in Vienna, Austria. Thanks wikipedia).

There is currently one decent Mexican sitdown restaurant and a local chain of good quick service type places (I had some killer barbacoa at Lupitas). Generally not as good as what you find in the Southwest, but it beats driving to Altoona or settling for Taco Bell.

e: Also the best Mexican I ever ate was in Phoenix, for what its worth.

I didn't realize it was as big a deal as it is, wiki says there's 78 div 1 teams. I assumed it was like mens gymnastics (12 div 1 teams) or rugby which I assume is about the same.

I live in central PA and even though I know wrestling is huge in PA I was surprised when I started paying attention. The matches are super hyped up and a lot of fun. Shame I don't really understand most of the rules. I feel like I've missed out on being a fan for years because of just how insanely dominant Sanderson has been.

It's a sport that has really been taking off because of the popularity of UFC and other fighting stuff.

I think high school wrestling is due for an increase in popularity in the next decade. I see a lot of kids trying out BJJ these days, most teens can apply a pretty decent rear naked choke just from watching ufc highlights. Considering most of the most effective poo poo in bjj is extremely similar to catch wrestling, I hope kids start taking an interest in it. I wish I had done it.

I really hate that scheduling, especially the bullshit FCS schools (RIP being able to poke fun at Alabama and Georgia) but Franklin has been very vocal about how having an easier OOC game is more of an advantage than having tough OOC games. Now with the 12 team playoff that way of thinking may end up being out-of-date, but a loss vs a tough OOC school hurt your chances way more than a cakewalk win over an FCS school, and beating that tougher OOC game only seemed to really act as a tiebreaker most of the time.

I don't really have a problem with playing teams like Temple and/or Syracuse every once in a while because those are kind of regional/historical games, but I would love to see a WVU/Pitt type game most years. That WVU game last year was incredibly fun and it honestly seemed like the fans were much more into it than the Iowa whiteout. Also the tailgating was amazing because a ton of WVU fans showed up.

I hate that poo poo. It's not enough to pay shitloads of money for parking, tickets, and donating so that you can even buy tickets in the first place. It's not enough to spend a premium on shirts, hats, coffee mugs, cable, streaming packages, etc. It's not enough that the university, the college, and the alumni assocation constantly bug me for money. Now we, the fans, are expected to pay the wages of these college kids so that our team can become (or stay) competitive while the executives still rake in shitloads of money.

I also hate that how competitive your school can be is basically limited to how many billionaires will help fund it. I am pro football players getting what they deserve but this current system sucks and the money is coming from the wrong direction (well, not crying for the billionaires I suppose).

Also please get off of my lawn.
