Makes no difference to our $75 million man. He’s fully guaranteed for 10 years. Penn State cannot afford to buy him out for years and years and if his record is what is has been in recent years, there will be no one willing to take him. If he somehow stumbles into another rare good year, someone please hide the athletic department checkbook.

Yep - the definition of no accountability. Thanks Onion Dip and Sandy…between the OGBOT and these two comedians, irreparable harm has been done to dear Ole’ State. In less than a decade, the have not undone most of the good done by Joe. Sad.

Those that don't give a pass for the 2020 covid year also don't give a pass for sanction years. They're basically clueless. 2021 was disappointing because of the record but the team wasn't bad, just lost a ton of close games. Those things tend to even out over time. Obviously, the run game was a major flaw and if we can become just an average run team, the offense will improve drastically. The defense will be good to very good again. There's a nice mixture of experience and youth. I'd bet we're 6-1 or 7-0 facing Ohio State with everything on the line.

That would be a great outcome. The trips to Auburn and Ann Arbor are major challenges but with a balanced offense and quality defense winnable. Only because it is the first game of the year the trip to Purdue is a little bit concerning but I think we can pull it out. Time will tell.
