I don't think icing the kicker is a big deal. "you play to win the game"...all the way up to the final whistle, regardless of score.
However, coming out after the fact and telling bold face lies about you weren't trying to ice the kicker, you were trying to makes substitutions....that makes people question your character.
This is hilarious. A Syracuse guy and a Northwestern guy both on the Pitt flagship station have bad things to say about Penn State. What a surprise. The Yinzer callers are apopletic.
Maybe I should call in and throw a little more dynamite into the pond. I'm feeling frisky - I'll really give them something to get fired up about.
Filliponi compared CJF to Pete Carroll.
Boy I wish. If Franklin can accomplish with us what Pete did at USC (minus the shenanigans), then things are going to be just fine.
Anyone in radio range - tune in. Bob Mr. Pitt Pompiani is going to be on soon for more comedy gold.
Finebaum just played Franklin's clip from coach's press conference, and then said nobody believes him (Franklin) and people don't want to hear about it days after it happened.
THEN WHY DID YOU BRING IT UP, YOU MORON?!?!?
I think Francesa and the the Pgh media only ones making a big deal. Most others have no problem!!!
I actually think the Carroll comparison is pretty accurate. Carroll was famous for having his guys compete every single game and practice and never giving an inch to the competition. They are also both high energy guys and great recruiters and let their players have fun resulting in their teams playing loose.This is hilarious.

When you say Franklin told "bald face lies"I don't think icing the kicker is a big deal. "you play to win the game"...all the way up to the final whistle, regardless of score.

When you say Franklin told "bald face lies", your bias is showing. The unit substitution took place just has Franklin said,I don't think icing the kicker is a big deal. "you play to win the game"...all the way up to the final whistle, regardless of score.

Yeah that's really great except that 9 of the 11 players on the PSU defense were different after the timeout dipshit. You think he thought that up on the fly?
To be honest, nobody in blue and white wanted the kid to make the field goal. JF just did what he could to support it.When you ice the kicker your trying to make the kid miss the field goal. When you call a time out to get your field goal block team out there you're trying to make the kid miss the field goal. So in the end EVERYBODY knew that Penn State didn't want to let them make the field goal. Why am I not getting the outrage?

You get a free Iron City if you stay tuned to the rest of the show.
Let them hate. So long as they fear.Funny, Urban Meyer challenged a spot late in the 4th quarter when they were beating us by about 40. No one said shit about it.
We wear the black hats now. People are going to come after us for whatever bullshit they can come up with. Hell, everyone hates Notre Dame. They've been used to shit like this for years. My advice is don't let it bother you. Penn State is relevant again or they wouldn't be talking about us.
And again, this is nothing new. Been going on in this town since the 1960's.. They hated Paterno, now it's Franklin. Doesn't matter who it is, they'll manufacture a reason. And it's not just the fans. The sports media here is right on it also.Pitt fans' behavior furthers the idea that they don't care about their team as much as they care about bashing Penn State. They know they aren't relevant and PSU is, so they will spend their time trying to find anything negative they can about PSU as opposed to worrying about their own team.
There's interesting psychology at work here that a missed FG in a 56-0 game has attracted such incredible attention from Francesa, Finebaum, Pitt media, Pitt (and other school) fans. If Shrink was still here I'm sure he'd have a lot to say.
Unfortunately, that's not the case. On Syrius ESPNU, every show I've heard this week has talked about it.I think Francesa and the the Pgh media only ones making a big deal. Most others have no problem!!!
But yesterday Chris Childers was trashing Francesca for getting so worked up about it.Unfortunately, that's not the case. On Syrius ESPNU, every show I've heard this week has talked about it.
Last night, Mark Packer was going crazy, saying that Franklin was jerk. He talked about it for 15 minutes. Today, one of the shows had Holly Rowe on asking her about it.
I don't know what the.big deal is, but this story is really getting some legs.
In all seriousness, CJF must be doing something right if he is being criticized by Francesa, Feinstein, Pitt media, and Pitt fans. What a group of know-nothings. I would be worried if they all were saying that CJF were doing a good job.
The time to start worrying is when opposing coaches start saying that you are doing a good job when your team is struggling. Those coaches just want to keep you in place so that they can keep winning against you.
There is absolutely an anti-PSU bias going on and it's crap like this that proves it. Other coaches rubbed our faces in it when we were heavily sanctioned and no one said a word.It's all a work. None of these people going nuts about it could give a flyin' fish. I just listened to Fresca's Fabricated Flabbergast on YT and it's completely contrived, as is 99.9% of all talk radio, especially sports.
Talking heads love Saban, Meyer and Swinney. They bow down to them. Fans of other teams may hate them, but the media certainly doesn't.Yup. Who are the most criticized and hated coaches in America? Saban. Meyer. Swinney. They cheat, they don't care about the players, they run gladiator schools, blah blah blah. Pete Carroll got roasted for years. All they did was win.
And all of they are crying as they climb the stairs to the podium to lift the Championship trophy. They are just torn up about the criticism they get.
Winners always get criticized - usually by people who don't win.
Not trying to start a fight, but . . . so what. It sure ain't hurting recruiting. We're winning big and breaking scoreboards like demons.There is absolutely an anti-PSU bias going on and it's crap like this that proves it.

I agree...I hope PSU plays with a chip on their shoulder every game. It's great motivation.Not trying to start a fight, but . . . so what. It sure ain't hurting recruiting. We're winning big and breaking scoreboards like demons.
For 40 years we did everything right and had a coach that was the ultimate in sportsmanship. And that got us what when the SHTF. So they can all line up now and KMA. As long as we continue to bring in guys who are not going to be criminals and dangers to the public and we keep them in shape academically, I'm all for going rogue.
Put on the black hat, raise high the flag of piracy, stick a dagger between your teeth and commence to slitting throats. It's our time now - and the media, the opposing teams and most especially the opposing fans can look out below.

Sports talk radio has waaaay more available air time than there is interesting or relevant content.It's all a work. None of these people going nuts about it could give a flyin' fish.

And it's populated by morons.Sports talk radio has waaaay more available air time than there is interesting or relevant content.
It's mostly a waste of time.
Everytime I see Jim Delany in that photo I want Franklin to throw him off the stage.
- Our team plays every play, not some of them
- Our fans show up
- Our team plays for trophies
