James Franklin knows I was right! Daddy. Husband. Coach. Host Sports Central and Blue & White Wrapup postgame show. Huge fan of my family, Journey and the ‘80s!
My son went 3-for-3 with a 3-run double and got his very first game ball after our win today.
Now we’re going to see “Field of Dreams” on the big screen in Pittsburgh.
Phenomenal Father’s Day with my boy.
The whole fucking world laughed at me for this.
Some assholes said I needed to kill myself because this was so embarrassing.
I’ll contend years later that THIS right here is exactly why James Franklin has failed. He NEVER developed Drew Allar, the WRs or downfield passing game.
Penn State WR KJ Hamler with classy comment about Pitt:
"All hail to Pitt, to be honest. They gave us a good game. Players, they played their heart out, so I respect them. Much love."
I asked a bad question to James Franklin. No doubt. I own it.
Idea was sound, but I worded Q very poorly.
I've tried to roll w/ the criticism.
But when people message saying I should kill myself or they wish I would actually get murdered ... that's difficult.
It's just football.
She’s as much to blame for all this BS as anyone.
She crushed Penn State by panicking and giving James Franklin a horrendous contract.
Sandy Barbour’s legacy is now toast.
Brutal loss for Penn State.
Brutal loss for James Franklin.
Horrific loss for Drew Allar, whose interception will never be forgotten.
You can say to never trust “Big Game James.” But I’m not sure that’s fair after this one.
Man.
Crushing.
I’d like to thank James Franklin for reaching out to me today to talk about stuff.
I have great respect for James. He’s a good leader & good person. His words & encouragement are greatly appreciated.
I asked a bad question and took my share of heat.
Hopefully we all can move on.
Next week, James Franklin will have chance to become a national hero!
For all the s*** he's taken for not winning big games, he could do entire country a favor by beating Michigan.
Every college fan outside of Michigan will be PSU & Franklin fans next week.
Will be interesting.
This Penn State team has some issues that make you want to yell or throw something at the TV.
But it also has a whole bunch of outstanding players. And a lot of grit.
Which means this Penn State team does have a legitimate chance to win the national championship.
James Franklin will take lots of heat for this, losing to an acting head coach w/ his offense getting embarrassed.
This was Franklin's chance to prove things have changed.
Instead, he proved nothing has changed.
PSU is a program that wins lots of games but loses the biggest ones.
James Franklin has lost the Penn State fan base. Pretty much all of it.
I just don’t see a way for him to recover from it.
So, after the season, the two sides need to come to some kind of financial resolution to split and move on.
