OT: D1

Big Game James can't win Big Games.

His record at PSU against the Top 25 is horrible -- and even worse (as in winless since 2016)) against the Top 10.

But, he pretty much dominates the next tier.

It's an interesting situation. He recruits very well. His program is pretty clean. It's probably just a matter of how long the heavy brass up there wants to keep being second and third fiddle to Columbus and Ann Arbor.

The heavy brass is delusional up there. Maybe once a decade they will catch Columbus and Ann Arbor when they are down, otherwise this is what they are.

I wish somebody would poach James Franklin.

Curt Cig reportedly has been offered an interview for the Cincinnati job.

I bet we'll also see former Edinboro head coach Justin Lustig (currently associate head coach & STC at Vanderbilt) mentioned for some G5 jobs. James Franklin had tried to poach him a year ago.

PSU DB Joey Porter Jr. (Pittsburgh local) has declared for the NFL Draft and will skip their bowl game.

I've lived in the middle. It's just fine. I-95 is one of the worst driving experiences among many bad interstate driving experiences in the U.S.

That’s why you take Amtrak. I’d never drive to New York.

No..too far in the middle. Plus the tundra freezes…:-)

The Mid Atlantic along 95 is the best place to live…it’s just too convenient.

The ocean is nice, but the Great Lakes don't have salt, sharks, jellyfish, etc. And frequently the waves are just as big as the Atlantic coast.

Plus Madison is like State College sitting on waterfront. Yeah, it’s in Wisconsin but Madison is really, really nice. Shockingly nice.

Madison isnt near anything and lakes aren’t the ocean. I want the Delaware beaches…not Lake Meatchicken.

I have a friend from IUP who doesn’t live far from Madison and she’d move back to Pittsburgh in a heart beat.

There are some people in Florida who could tell you the oceans are fine as long as you don't live too close to them. The upper Midwest is a fine place to live. If you like water they have a little thing called lakes — several thousand of them in fact.

It’s still in the Midwest. How people can live so far from the oceans is puzzling to me. I’m too used to being able to be at thd coast line in 2 hours

Curt Cig being mentioned on several vacancies.

Curt is 61. This could be his last shot at the big time.

But, James Madison is a sweet gig.

Madison is one of the most underrated places to live in the country. Summers there are amazing. If he could sell Cincinnati, he'll do just fine. Cincy - city and university - when compared to Pittsburgh and Pitt are like following up a break-up by dating someone who looks incredibly similar but not as good as your ex. If you squint your eyes (or drink a 6 pack) it feels the same.

Madison is one of the best 'college towns' on Earth.
