My favorite take is from a Penn State fan that would fit right in on this board:

“I am done watching Penn State.

Let’s be real if we don’t get into the CFP which we won’t now. There is no point anymore. You know why no one believes in us? Because we always do this sh**. We look promising and then drop a game. No excuse when we were up by 15. The football god’s gifted us a special team TD and a nice fumble. The refs were decent. Our defense simply let us down. We can never just get it done. The defense blows a 15 point lead. Looked very amateur and Trace over threw it how many times? And the oline sucks. F*** this team F*** all the high hopes because they never get it done. F*** football. No use in getting worked upover a silly f***en game with pampered athletes chasing a ball. That’s what dogs do.”

PSU way ahead of OSU last Saturday. I loved the look on Meyer's face. The other part of me loved seeing PedU fall, because of the obvious reasons. What a weird way to watch a game.

Penn State turned a blind eye to child rape to prop up its football team. Their fans idolize a man who enabled a child rapist. 

Yeah, I don't feel bad for them for being knocked out of the title race. I fucking hate OSU, but I respect the hell out of their program. PSU, not so much.

As for the Florida State fan that put up the Twitter poll, I actually wish I had seen that. Obviously, I would have had no dog in the fight, but I would have been all for seeing what would happen to this guy if he had tried to snort vodka per the poll.

No excuse for a team to give up because their primary season goals are out of reach. And they basically have mailed it in since Bama. Imagine Michigan just threw in the towel after the PSU game and then got blown out by Rutgers. They'd have to call the national guard to regulate this forum.

You gotta remember that FSU was a consensus CFP final pick and seen as the only team capable of challenging Bama even by serious experts. Jimbo went around telling the media how good they were, their president went around telling everyone they're gonna spank Bama. If that's how overconfident the adults around the program are you can imagine where the kids are.

If you allow your kids' heads to get that far in the clouds that you can't control them when they come down from that high, that's a pisspoor coaching job in the purest sense. Jimbo might be a GOAT talent assembler but as a leader of men..ehhh questionable.
