103rd Annual Rose Bowl - USC vs Penn State

[KBVol]

The fix is in. USC got hosed. Might as well change channels.

Correct. Going out of their way to give Penn State calls. I've never seen anything like that last call. Just crazy.

 

[VolnJC]

OK, I've got Franklin's boys +7.5 as the 4th winner in a 5 game parlay. I am looking for confirmation that it's a lock at this point.


I am about to hedge my 5th game (OU -3) with half the parlay payoff...making me a winner either way. It's not like you can count on Big Game Bob to close the deal on a 5 game parlay, right?

Thoughts? Clock is ticking...

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Louisville is better than Tennessee. Miami and Pitt probably evenly matched. We are better than the others.

Louisville might be better than us, but you don't know that. If healthy, we could easily hang with anyone.

 

[Kinger]

USC getting screwed by refs. Bad replay on that fumble. Earlier PSU scored on a pass with their center 5 yards downfield but not called

 

[05_never_again]

Why do people hate Franklin so much again? Because he beat us? Talked smack?

Those are the reasons, yes.

His response to a sexual assault allegation against his players is also cited, but his response to that really isn't all that different from what was alleged against Butch, so the reasoning there is kind of spurious.

 

[KBVol]

I don't even recognize football anymore

I don't either. Rules and calls are atrocious and stopping play every 10 seconds to review a call has completely ruined it. And NFL is even worse than college football.

Why do people hate Franklin so much again? Because he beat us? Talked smack?

Because he's a whiny b!tch.

 

[m1al]

Enough of this garbage.. Sugar pre game on the deuce..

Louisville might be better than us, but you don't know that. If healthy, we could easily hang with anyone.

We were healthy and needed 5 turnovers to beat Virginia Tech. If we were healthy we would have been better, but this team was never a playoff contender.

 

[05_never_again]

Because he's a whiny b!tch.

Because he absolutely embarrassed us twice. It's OK - we all know it and you can admit it here.

 

[VOLNPA]

They have 4 great teams whereas the SEC has the best team and then a bunch of mediocre teams. But I agree that the big 10 has terrible low tier teams and the SECs is better. But who cares? Big 10 is a better conference this year due to actually having more than one good team.

2 great teams.
2 solid teams with major weaknesses.

A steaming pile of trash.

Why do people hate Franklin so much again? Because he beat us? Talked smack?

Much as it pains me to say this about a former Vandy coach that beat us...Franklin certainly appears to be a damn good coach. Let's give him a couple of more years at PSU to see how good...but from the dumpster fire that they were, he's done well. We're sure as hell not playing in the Rose Bowl.

Remember how hated Spurrier was when he beat (and made fun of) us? Now we all watched the SEC Storied with Kenny C and we're all, well, he ain't such a bad guy, he was pretty funny, etc.

Would be one thing if they let stand call for PSU but it was "overturned" in favor of them. Ridiculous

 

[volfanCLT]

Because he's a whiny b!tch.

So count one for he beat us. Noted.

 

[Boston Vol]

Clearly a catch

 

[VOLNPA]

We were healthy and needed 5 turnovers to beat Virginia Tech. If we were healthy we would have been better, but this team was never a playoff contender.

Clemson, fsu, Miami, vt, Louisville, pitt, unc all very competitive. Have their issues, but they are deepest conference this year.

 

[Kinger]

If they dont overturn that, then USC should just quit and go home because of crappy officiating

 

[volfanCLT]

These refs are disgustingly bad. Should be the last major game they work.

 

[VolsRule]

ACC refs --- suck big time

 

[90 Vol]

Because he absolutely embarrassed us twice. It's OK - we all know it and you can admit it here.

Yes, he beat us twice. Win or lose, I still think he's a whiny B!tch and I don't like him or want him as a coach. If you like him, that's your business.

 

[VOLNPA]

How can Franklin shake his head on that?

 

[volfanCLT]

How can Franklin shake his head on that?

Because he's a whiny b!tch!!

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

How can Franklin shake his head on that?

Because he thought the hundred he slipped the ref was enough to get all the calls

 

[KBVol]

So count one for he beat us. Noted.

He's an arrogant ass. Bobby Johnson beat us in 2005 at Vandy and I honestly thought not much about it, was almost happy for him because he's a really good dude. But Franklin....just an arrogant, classless POS.

 

[05_never_again]

Yes, he beat us twice. Win or lose, I still think he's a whiny B!tch and I don't like him or want him as a coach. If you like him, that's your business.

It has nothing to do with "liking" him. I'm just saying that it is self-evident he's a great coach but nobody around here wants to admit it because he's used some of that aforementioned great coaching ability against Tennessee.
