Thought for the day, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"

I love how Harbaugh can efficiently troll Penn State football and the MSU/OSU fanbase with one concise tweet. Amazing.

Not Franklin's fault. I mean he can't quote what 60? years of JeoPa for obvious reasons (other than many never officially existed).

My favorite part is that James Franklin replied with "The Team, The University, and The Community". Admit to your mistake.

according to one of the idiots on their message board, michigan made a fool of themselves on the uniform reveal, by totally copying penn states road uniforms. i had forgot penn state invented the color white.

Programs in the country. I now assume that Jay harbaugh is basically managing coach's Twitter feed sometimes. There's no way that this elite coach is concerning himself with bs like this

I mean, as James Franklin once said, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"

He is always good for a quote. Perhaps not his own, but a quote all the same.

Actually, the Frankline remix of Bo's speech will be available on iTunes next week, I bet.

When I was a kid and didnt know any better PSU was probably my second favorite college football team. Now dont get me wrong I loved when we smashed them repeatedly during the late 90's and 2000's but they had cool uniforms, a great stadium and werent totally annoying. As time goes on they are becoming kind of a train wreck in every facet of life and football.

My early formative years growing up in New England predated Flutie’s Hail Mary pass or even the Super Bowl XX Patriots. Not much going on football-wise in NE back then.

 

As a little kid we either liked the Steelers or Cowboys. (Even the Giants sucked.) And the region’s default flagship college program was Penn State, the original “Linebacker U,” coming off perfect seasons in ’68, ’69, and ’72. For years and years they owned that super-fertile recruiting ground down in New Jersey, stayed big and strong feasting there. (Now it’s been pretty much up for grabs for more than a decade.)

 

Through the championship years in the ‘80s and well into the ‘90s, PSU still owned a tiny piece of my heart even after I went to college (not Penn State), grew up, moved away. Nice campus, great football stadium, classic uniforms — Penn State was still eastern sports Americana to me.

 

That all changed a few years ago. What a catastrophe. I became embarrassed to even say the words ‘Penn State’ any more. … No WAY I could ever think of sending my kids there now. PSU should’ve done civilization a favor, taken the intellectual and moral high road (it’s a university, right?), and shut down the football program forever. 

 

Maybe if Paterno had done what Bo did — retired early from coaching, went out on top — Happy Valley wouldn’t have completely burned to the ground? Probably wouldn’t have mattered.
