James Franklin fell on his face today
He talked about being totally focused on the Illinois game, and called OSU stadium the Big House.

undervalued comment
October 26th, 2021 at 5:12 PM ^
LSU, not USC
October 26th, 2021 at 10:10 PM ^
I get that LSU is probably a better job because of the loads of 5* talent in Louisiana itching to go to LSU. But the SEC West is arguably the toughest division in CFB year in and year out. And the fans are rabid, and dare I say worse than Michigan or PSU fans in general.
USC also has the pick of the litter in talent rich California and states to the east and north. And the fans aren't nearly as rabid. I think USC would be an easier job. And the weather is nicer. If I were Frames I would attack that USC job.

Dude, the whole reason USC has been irrelevant for ~ 10 years is because they don’t get the “pick of the litter” (are you 90) LA/OC kids no longer stay in LA/OC. They go where they can win.
October 26th, 2021 at 3:49 PM ^
This is amazing. How dare you suggest that he’s distracted when he’s hyper-focused on the big game against Illinois at The Big House.
October 26th, 2021 at 3:50 PM ^
I actually expected a story about Franklin physically falling down on his face and I wondered if that should be considered noteworthy.
October 26th, 2021 at 4:06 PM ^
I like physical humor. So yes, noteworthy.
October 26th, 2021 at 3:52 PM ^
He went all Frames Janklin today! Someone should have asked him how the assistant coaches' wives looked today???
October 26th, 2021 at 3:52 PM ^
Yes, I think we are witnessing some Durkining going on.
October 26th, 2021 at 4:11 PM ^
Frames has his mind on other things than the Ohio State game, like how to salvage an offer from LSU or USC.
October 26th, 2021 at 4:17 PM ^
yeah, they were gona lose 56-7 before this, but nooooooowwww...itll be 56-7
October 26th, 2021 at 4:17 PM ^
I want Frames to be the head coach at PSU forever.
October 26th, 2021 at 4:19 PM ^
I wish Penn st fans would realize this dude only cares about himself.
October 26th, 2021 at 4:25 PM ^
Who cares James Franklin is a Moran, self centered looking for the next gig.
October 26th, 2021 at 4:37 PM ^
Apologies from a fellow buckeye....some of us morons CAN spell. Stay totally focused on Illinois my friends...
October 26th, 2021 at 4:52 PM ^
He was correct to say Moran, as in "Get a brain! MORANS. Go USA!"
October 26th, 2021 at 7:57 PM ^
Yuppers....
October 26th, 2021 at 7:12 PM ^
“Geubux” is commenting about spelling?
October 26th, 2021 at 4:46 PM ^
Frames Janklin rockin' some new frames.
October 26th, 2021 at 5:00 PM ^
I don't like Franklin but this is a pretty lame story. He misspoke. Big deal.
October 26th, 2021 at 5:13 PM ^
Yeah, like Freud said, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And--no--he didn't mispeak. He mispoke three times, in a way that made clear how lacking in focus he currently is. You don't pay your respects to these traditions by getting all those issues wrong, and not have it remembered by fans desperate to hear that you actually give a shit, haven't arleady checked out on their team.
Beat OSU Saturday and no one will remember. I'd say they're remember.
October 26th, 2021 at 5:12 PM ^
I want to know why a reporter didn't tell him to quit drinking and go back to bed.
October 26th, 2021 at 5:16 PM ^
You know, I kind of enjoy visits to the site from supporters of other teams, especially when they share helpful insights from a different perspective and remain polite.
Trolls not so much. We have enough doom and gloom in our own ranks without adding more.
Do any MGoBlog regulars engage on their discussion boards? Thoughtfully, that is.
October 26th, 2021 at 9:28 PM ^
October 27th, 2021 at 1:49 AM ^
Do they also regularly disparage Michigan?
October 26th, 2021 at 5:25 PM ^
I'm seeing something like...47-13 for a final in Columbus.
October 26th, 2021 at 6:23 PM ^
Thats a typo right, you meant “halftime”?
October 26th, 2021 at 7:19 PM ^
Hahahahaha well...possibly.
I actually do expect PSU to kinda sorta show up and kinda sorta fight. For perhaps the first 5 minutes, anyway.
October 26th, 2021 at 7:05 PM ^
I wish everyone just went with it, like on The Office when Jim and Pam convinced Dwight that the next day is Saturday instead of Friday.
October 26th, 2021 at 7:06 PM ^
I think it was more like this:
October 26th, 2021 at 7:35 PM ^
It blows my mind there are people who think James Franklin is one of the best coaches in college football.
October 26th, 2021 at 10:41 PM ^
Do people really think that?
October 27th, 2021 at 2:45 AM ^
Great recruiter, but as a game manager, he is somewhere above completely incompetent but below shitty. That Illinois game was embarrassing. I can’t imagine USC is still interested in him.
