Shorter now not on the roster
- Thread starter katchthis
- Start date
If I were him I just announce that someone on campus was mean to me and he'd be eligible immediately, right? Worked for Fields and O$U.
Seriously...I’m tired of seeing these shady passive aggressive posts from “new members” every time there is trouble.
Chris Godwin is having a really terrific season:
- 70 catches -- tied for 4th overall
- 1071 receiving yards -- 2nd overall
- 9 TDs receiving -- 1st among all receivers
- Certainly Pro Bowl at a minimum, and can challenge for All-Pro
Yes I’m a new member. But I’ve been a fan my whole life. Not sure what’s passive aggressive about it. Just posted what I observe from the situation. Just because you’ve been on the site for awhile has no bearing on how much weight your opinion has. Get over yourself and stop whining.
OK...then you don’t know what the phrase passive aggressive means. Now I’ll go get over myself.
Yeah, and that was it. He was a tremendous punt coverage guy.
JF raved about his receiving talent, but it never surfaced outside of that one play.
Well that’s your opinion but of course for some people it’s always the coaches’ fault. I guess they must be coaching Friermuth differently than the other receivers huh?
I guess things worked out for him at WVU. Johnson appears to be doing pretty well, when he's playing, at Oregon also.

I agree it’s hard to lose a kid with such promise. But it seems that if he goes the team will lose much more of what could have been than what actually was. As much as I hate seeing any kid jump ship, we can sustain losing what we saw of him on the field.
God help us if it’s coaching. But I don’t think it is. And I’m not buying that recruits are growing concerned.
Let’s not forget this is the 3rd WR coach in 3 years. Hopefully we can get some continuity there. This WR class coming in seems pretty damn strong. I bet the guys that left are a bit sour but which one achieved anything at PSU? Johnson was wrapped up in his own head. He couldn’t catch a cold here. Mike G was similar but stayed and persevered. JJ bailed as did Shorter, but none had the hype he had. Maybe he turns it around, but I cannot sweat the ones that don’t produce and bail before they are juniors.
Better than the grad transfer we took who has I believe 1 catch this year and might have played in 2 or 3 games

That’s true. He’s walking on the team during the season, which is tough to see and poor timing—4 days left.
If he knows he’s leaving, the team won’t benefit from him hanging around. Besides, there isn’t much time to pick a new home before the break. And his aid for next semester has been cut— if I understand CJF’s policy. I wish him well and feel sympathy for him, but it’s tough to see.
Texas sounds right. Actually, he can't HELP but get better now because nobody in that conference plays defense
And the biggest fake PSU fan shows up once again. Eventually someone will figure out this jackass and get rid of him from this board permanently. Amazing.
No, I'm certain he is transferring to Pitt because he knows that next year Doozie and company are going to win (another) Natty.
Obla di, Obla da, Life Goes On Brah, La la how that life goes on.
I don’t recall hearing that. He was hurt for most of the season, and we didn’t hear the same raving practice reviews that we heard about Johnson. Maybe a little in the bowl practices, but not even close to the same.
I attended over 150 games in my lifetime, and got lambasted on here for years attempting to defend the Paterno regime, so spare me your dime store analysis. Check the post history.
I don't like the direction the program is going, because we have been WAY overpaying for average results, and there always seems to be some kind of drama, from kids leaving, to the head coach accosting students and whining about fan criticism. You can choose to be OK with that, but I don't have to agree, and I'm very sorry if other opinions upset your delicate sensitivities.
You defended Paterno, but not Franklin....that’s all we needed to know.
41 wins, three major bowls and a conference title in four years are not “average results.” If you think they are, you’re insane.
We really have struggled to get that second WR option to take some pressure off KJ and Pat. Justin seemed to never get that open not sure why and the drops didn’t help. I think that leads to the QB losing confidence in you. They need to find the next man up since KJ probable will be gone next year. Ranking our of high school continue to be a crap shoot.
And of those 150 games, you were he guy who bitched and moaned and complained about every play in the stands. We all know the type. Every post you make is negative to the team or players. That’s not a fan. That’s a miserable wannabe.
Literally every single point in your last paragraph is totally wrong, a flat out lie, or an intentional misrepresentation. Every. Single. Point.
So keep being a keyboard tough guy. I’m done engaging with you. Find another team to complain about.
I think the frustrating thing is that James took the program from ashes, all the way back to the top tier of college football in just 3 years. But, we cannot seem to make it to the final level, which is of course the CFP. In 16 we win the Big Ten but we are not able to put a good enough defense on the field and we give up 40 plus to Pitt, Michigan, and SC. In 17 we have the greatest assembly of offensive skill ever, but again we fall short on defense, and team depth, and Ohio State and msu wear us down, costing us a shot. In 18 we improve on defense, we again level up in recruitment process, but on the field we see a massive digression in the wr position, and running game, and again we lose twice to the same team, as after a heartbroken defeat from osu we fail vs sparty and then Michigan blows us out. This year we put Franklins best defense to date on the field but our small corners get exposed in losses to Minny and Ohio State again. This exacerbates the frustration because Franklin finally teaches his team to win the close games and our o line finally Improves enough to run 4 min offense to close games.
Look, we are CLOSE man, and as fans it's tough.

Seems like being close is tougher for some fans than being miles away....that’s the problem. Close is a good place to be.
You don't like the direction the program is going? Let me ask you: What (4) year period in the last 30 years produced better results in wins and losses and recruiting rankings than the last four? I think the one with "delicate sensitives" is yourself.
Really? Tuff on fans? Doubt it's a cakewalk for coaches and players. They actually are invested.
He probably ends up at scUM if they lose some of those WRs they have which they probably do. Of course he catches 10 balls against us next year miraculously figuring out how to play again.
