Our record under James Franklin coming off of losses ...
- Thread starter michnittlion
- Start date
I cannot believe this dude is still trying to discredit Franklin. He's so mad JF turned out better than JH in every aspect of coaching. He is such a GD troll when it comes to JF....just STFU and say you were wrong already.

Nope, doesn’t count! You see, the Vegas spread said that Penn State should have won by more points, so it’s like they never won at all.
Yes, and more importantly playing with a junior and senior loaded team. You take over decimated program with no OL and you can expect the teams to not have the poise to bounce back after loses no matter who the coach is. The OP, otherwise know as, the dick, did not answer my other question on purpose. Yet Obrien's success came on the shoulders of JoePa's recruiting and experienced players in a basically unchanged system. That is a far cry from CJF has done. Michnitt would love to go back to the days of 6 and 7 wins.
Isn’t your record after a loss partly dependent on who you play? If you lose a game and your next game is with a team with a winning record, your record would tend to be lower than if you play a team with a losing record.
What I'd like to know is our record after a loss on odd numbered Saturdays with a late afternoon start in even numbered years since 1962 when playing teams whose colors include green. If you want a predictor for this upcoming game, this is your true tell.
OK so 8-4 and 7-5 seasons are better than 11 win seasons because they beat the spread more after a loss. Got it. Makes perfect sense!
If you’re a degenerate gambler who only bets on the Nittany Lions to cover I guess this is true. Penn state has covered coming off a bye the last two seasons. With all this conflicting data I don’t know what to think.
To each their own. I know plenty of people that think watching sporting events is a giant waste of time. they are entitled to their opinion.
Except that Michnotalion has three or more of them, or is it "some"?That's mighty nice of you.
Opinions are like azzholes, everybody's got em.
If you and I agreed on everything one of us would be useless
(Hint: It wouldn't be me!)
It happened again.
Franklin has NO proven ability to rally his team off of adversity. It is his biggest weakness.

The "believers" just won't listen.

No I was not wrong.
To answer your question, I made $0. I don't bet PSU games, but I do "consult" with a couple of my friends and advised that I thought MSU was a strong play on the money-line.

I don't bet PSU games, but I would advise taking Indiana. Although Indiana is 0-7 themselves ATS coming off of a straight-up loss. So I guess one of those trends has to give here.
I think that record isn't an accident either. Indiana is 1-7 ATS in those spots all-time during the Tom Allen regime. Allen strikes me as somewhat similar to Franklin: a higher-energy coach but also a coach who may struggle to get "buy-in" from his players in times of adversity.
Anyway, I'm not betting PSU but instead spending my $$$ instead to fly in to see the game. Betting the horses at Keeneland Friday.

Bump --- this betting trend is active again this week. Franklin now 1-12-2 ATS in his career (and 0-2 in 2018) at PSU in regular-season games coming off of a loss.
Thanks for the information.
Too much invective from the juveniles, which adds nothing. Thanks again, I learned something.
I am glad that we true Penn Staters are playing a role in somehow fulfilling your otherwise lonely life....you're welcome, michnit...whatever we can do to keep you off the ledge...OR moving to Columbus...(personally, I choose the ledge....)
Wouldn't it mean that PSU should be on a rediculous losing streak? You know, since the very first loss of the Franklin era???
Unless you have gambling tidbits to share, I'd prefer that you beat it and scram. This thread is not for visiting folk to get into a food-fight with PSU fans. There are other threads for that.
Back to gambling: if you are a believer in this trend (as I am, I think this trend says something about CJF), bet Wisconsin +9 tomorrow.
I’ve had this discussion with friends. We can’t seem to recover from losses. The last two years are perfect examples. No way we should lose to MSU either year. We were a great team up until OSU-Q4. Now we are just blah. ...and that is about leadership.
