Another Starter Bites the Dust at Penn State and Transfers Out

[Chechem]

Unless there is a quick turnaround and MUCHO recruiting luck, this will be the worst collapse of a football team in YEARS.  Penn State will become a punching bag for the Big 10 (whatever) and anyone who can beg them onto their schedule.

Best thing PSU can do is drop all non-conference opponents and play 1AA (whatever) teams, which they may not be able to beat.

They'll be a laughing stock.
laugh·ing·stock (laf-ing-stok). n. An object of jokes or ridicule; a butt.

I guess you missed the story where the coach is wanting to sign some big name teams to play, like Oklahoma, West Virginia, etc., to help his recruiting.

That was (no doubt) before all of these defections.

Now that you mention it, I think all this talk was right after the sanctions when everyone was talking tough and acting like Penn State might really run the table this year.

My comment was in jest.  I don't know when he said it, but I agree that he'd better find a way out of his position while he's marketable.

I was shocked when I read O'Brien was looking to play some marquee teams to help the PSU program since they could not go to bowl games. This is when the sanctions were first announced and there was talk about all the players staying, blah, blah, blah. I think cooler heads prevailed, because I have not heard anything since that story came out.

Only talk I heard was trying to get games against Hawaii.

I think Hawaii needs to start marketing itself in this vein:

"So, you can't go to a bowl this season? Why not come to the islands and beat up on our team? Sure beats the heck out of spending New Year's Eve in Shreveport!"

I understand that all players want exposure to NFL scouts, etc. But don't you think that the scouts will still check out players at Penn State?  I know this probably isn't a popular sentiment but I feel bad for the players and the fans. What Sandusky did was horrible and disgusting. And I believe that Penn State deserved punishment. I am not so sure that they deserved what the NCAA dished out. But that's just me.

And for the record, I am not minimizing any of the horrible actions of the folks at Penn State - some crookedness was abundant.  But these kids had nothing to do with it. Hurt the ones who did it

I don't know how I missed this one. Freakin' hilarious, CB.

Wow, a transfer 2 weeks before the season begins. I did not expect that. First the running game, now the passing & kick return game.
