bet $400 on the Blues to win the Stanley Cup in January, when they were last place in the NHL. It was at 250-1 odds. I'll let you do the math. Oh, and he didn't hedge. Congrats Scott. Enjoy your vacation.
This is why Franklin would leave. This right here. I get to know every recruit that he brings here. Most of these kids are more mature than me and I’m a dad with two kids. To imply that he doesn’t want to do things “the right way” is just bullshit Maribeth.
In light of all the recent Penn State football speculation/consternation, here’s a question to consider… “What does Penn State football stand for?” Not what “did” it stand for… but over the last ten years and through the next ten, what DOES it stand for?
Penn State fans: why are you guys upset that your team is playing major road games at noon? You should want that. Even James has said multiple times that he prefers noon games on the road.
It's Official: Penn State has added a third five-star player to its Class of 2022, as DE

Best quote ever by a teenager?

:
"It's not about the individual there. It's about the team. They don't have names on the back of their jerseys. People know you there based on your number, not your name, because it's not about you."
Meet my boy: Cameron. Mommy and I arrived at Mt. Nittany at 6:30 last night. We were holding him in our arms by 9:30. Little man has no patience. Definitely got that from dad.

on Manny Diaz:
“I’m extremely excited to have coach Manny Diaz as our defensive coordinator. Just from learning the schemes that they ran in Miami not only fits my mold but our entire 2022 defensive commits mold.”
Franklin has been meeting with family members of 2021 signees over the past 10 days when the schedule allows for it. Since these visits weren’t allowed last year, those families have appreciated it. Pretty cool I think.
I have finally paid off my student loans. 🥳🥳🥳
All those Thur/Friday/Sat parties in State College sure cost a lot of money in the end, but I’d do it all again in a heartbeat.
Just so we can clarify this, Drew Allar is not attending the Penn State-Ohio State game as an Ohio State recruit Saturday night. Lots of rumors that he’s going. Not true.
First session of the new year complete for 2025 Findlay (OH) QB Ryan Montgomery. Stronger. More focused. Ready to go next level.

Confirmed with LB Lance Dixon this evening that he also plans to enroll early.
Dixon: "Yeah, it'll all be finalized soon when they receive my test scores."
Imhotep RB Jabree Coleman backs out of his commitment to Georgia.
Both James Franklin and Ja'Juan Seider were at Tep's 5A state championship game Friday night.

Why does the NCAA put the wrestling championships on the same weekend as the basketball tournament? You would think they’d want to maximize viewership. I understand wrestling is regionalized, but shift the schedule a week or two and you maximize both products. Seems strange.
Penn State fans should be watching three undecided prospects tomorrow. This is when I expect them to announce, roughly. If anything changes I'll note it on Twitter
WR Cornelius Johnson: 9 - 9:30 AM ET
RB Noah Cain: 11 - 11:30 AM ET
DE Zach Harrison: 12 -12:30 PM ET
ESPN is already advertising for PSU vs Ohio St. next Saturday. They havent even gotten past tomorrow nights Saturday Night Game of the Week. College Gameday is a lock. I already wrote the story for it today.

Intel (On3+):
This is why Penn State needs to invest more into football. They’ve made progress, no doubt, but there’s still a real gap between what PSU has and that next tier.
Back home in PA. Couldn’t stay for the game. Gotta give my wife a break from 2 toddlers. Big thank you to

Confirmed with Terrence Parsons, Micah’s father, this afternoon that Micah will enroll at Penn State next month. That was up in the air until recently. That’s huge for Micah. He can legitimately crack the DL rotation IMO.
The big day has arrived for the Snyder family. Do me a favor and wish my amazing wife

nothing but the best. She’s gonna be an amazing mother.

took the opening kickoff back for a TD against Episcopal tonight.
I’m not at the game. Going to see Dani and Abdul Carter tomorrow.
Big thanks to a good friend,

It doesn’t feel right that myself and other media members are in the press box today, but family members can’t spread out even more in the stands. I genuinely wish I could give one of them my spot today. We don’t have to be there to do our jobs.
