The one thing that takes longer than an offseason to develop is OLine and DLine.
Taking off the sunny glasses, I think, almost by necessity, these are weak points until we get consistency and the guys learn to work together and communicate well.
To a lesser extent this goes for the QB and WR's.
I could get behind this.
5-7 Babee!!!
Just saying it's possible we've met before, won't know for sure until we meet (again).
Who scheduled that?
How many of those 1 score games were vs top 10 cause I remember his clock management fails being he was up in the 4th and then lost. Oregon was one score and I'm sure a lot of them were too.
Wish it was. I was in a department meeting during the presser.
I believe it will be near the Inn.
Yeah that one is in early stages. Coming up soon though. The new approvals were for forms, and the Vet Med project was shown as part of the capital plan.
One key piece that I feel is overlooked is the misconception that Franklin had equal or better talent than most of the Top 10 teams he faced. Ohio State and Michigan are two that consistently have Top 10 recruiting classes. Franklin had two Top 10 classes. Oregon also has been Top 10 with their Nike money. He has consistently had classes between 14th and 19th overall but finished Top 10 in six of twelve years. You could argue he has finished better than his classes in that regard. If he starts delivering Top 10 classes here, maybe my thoughts on this change.
We just need Beck to do what he does best....throwing INT's and we've got a good shot.
I also think a lot of records against top 5 and top 10 teams have some bias in them. When the majority of top teams you play are in your conference, those games appear later in the season and are more validated and earned. A lot of early season top 10 wins turn out to be against teams that may even fall outside of the top 25. Look at UVA's win against Florida State earlier in the year. Unless these records are adjusted for end of the year rankings, they are likely skewed negatively for late season matchups against conference opponents.
Where's the new one going?
I was there over the weekend again with my daughter (open house), and it's still stunning just how much has been added to the campus since I was there (waaaay back in the 1900s).
Agreed 100%. Everything you stated above tells me that we may well have ourselves the making of a perfect storm and it's going to put Category 5's to shame.
Kevin Threlkel and Andy Frank are following James Franklin to Virginia Tech as expected, and they aren't the only Penn State staffers moving on before the end of the regular season.
Threkel was Chief of Staff, Frank was GM of personnel and recruitment

Virginia Tech athletic director Whit Babcock said James Franklin had a name in mind for general manager.Andy Frank and Kevin Threkel are no longer in the staff directory and are expected to follow Franklin. Both have been in his inner-circle at multiple spots. Could be Frank.— Lyle Alenstein (@LAlenstein) November 19, 2025

I just shotgunned two Natty's and punched a hole in my wall
Acknowledging people and making them feel heard is an amazing trait—especially for someone in a high-profile leadership position. Unfortunately, it's lost on many.
They are also adding an additional building at Vetmed but that was probably last years approval. All I know is we are busy keeping up with this new work at Tech.
Lol. Thing is, you and I may have met before...
it would be absolutely HILARIOUS if we beat Miami this weekend. I don't think it'll happen but I fully expect little bro to completely choke in Charlottesville. They might need to win that game to make it to the ACCCG and wouldn't it be poetic to win that game and keep them out of it - after the season we had - and they know they're not going to win again for another 10 years now that we have Franklin in the boat. Oh, the melt-downs on le saber will be epic
This is a beautiful table
