    JoePa may get blown outta Beaver.
    Perhaps not the best word choice to use to discuss things in Happy Valley. LOL.

    It was odd to see massive Beaver Stadium so empty. Very strange thing!

Heather Lyke knows what she's doing. The current chancellor and administration view athletics, specifically football and basketball, as big time tickets to the university gaining big prominence. Pitt is spending a ton of money on football. More than most schools. A lot of people won't believe that. But there's financial metrics from the last few years that show they are spending money with the likes of some big programs. They are trying. That's the point.
      People are going to want refunds.

        Yurich would make an excellent choice for Pittsburgh. He recruited well in PA when he was at Ship, Boro, Ohio State. He'd be a lot closer to home as well. I actually wanted Temple to hire him over the current HC which IMO was a huge mistake for the Owls hence why they're 1-3 on this odd season.

            You should see the plane they fly in to games. Starters in first class with seats that fold down into beds if they want to take a nap. The amenities that all that money buys is insane.

              So, Paris Ford is 'opting out' after Pitt has completed 65% of its (dismal) season.

              Not buying it. Sounds like a fancy way of saying 'the season is lost and I quit'.

              Covid concerns are a cop-out at this stage. He hasn't said that yet, by the way. Naduzzi said today it is NOT a Covid-related decison.

              He's likely (at least) a Round 3 guy. Perhaps Round 2.

              Will this hurt his draft status? It won't help it.

              His decison, of course. Does he 'opt out' if Pitt is 6-1 instead of 3-4? I doubt it.

              I thought -- for the first time under Narduzzi -- the team quit in the second half of the ND debacle.

                Gateway 4-Star DB Derrick Davis eliminated Pitt from his Top 5.

                He's down to LSU, Ohio State and Penn State.

                Another stud leaving town.

                  Is Franklin still the coach in Creepy Valley come Monday morning?

                    Most likely unless the university wants to pull strings to get Sandusky out of prison on a work release to be the coach.

                    But yeah, it does look like Franklin will not retain his job beyond this season. Who would be next for Ped State?

                      Franklin I believe is done after this season. Lose to Maryland at home, MARYLAND, then lost to Indiana as well, no way he survives even in a shortened and condensed season. I think PSU should also look at Yurich as they need to bring life into that program. Also bring Larry Johnson Sr. back as DC as it kills two birds it takes away a key piece of TOSU's coaching staff and also strengthens your recruiting ties. The good thing about Yurich is that he has Northeastern ties, but also is now built recruiting relationships in the midwest and southwest so there should be better chances to land top QB's from those areas. When is the last PSU QB to have been taken in the first 3 rounds of a NFL draft outside of Hackenburg who was an utter disaster.

                          Luckily for Bama they did beat UGA and TAMU already so they should still be able to earn their bid into the SEC championship game if this game is cancelled and they handle business against Auburn in the regular season finale.

                            Penn State RB Journey Brown hangs it up.

                            Some may remember him at Meadville running for 8,000 yards in one game against DuBois.

                              He needs to get out of Creepy Valley. Is he going to transfer or do you mean he is done with football forever?

                                He has a serious heart condition.
