Franklin blaming "travel" is all kinds of awesome.

1.PSU hasn't played a game outside of State College since the 2025 Orange Bowl.

2. The B10 added PAC 12 teams and killed that conference. Don't like those long flights? Don't add teams on the west coast.

3. The Rose Bowl was barely half full and PSU fans outnumbered UCLA. It was hardly a tough road environment.


Kind of reminds me of when Rocket Ismail played for Notre Dame
Invincibility with no vulnerability

and how it was like being a home game. I don’t buy the travel excuse because it’s easier to go west and gain time as opposed to coming east and losing time. When I go to Europe, it kills me going out because it becomes the next day and your body clock is all out of whack but coming home to east coast is much easier. I’ve never thought of Franklin as a great coach. He recruits fairly well but that’s about it. PSU always has one of the more easier schedules each year which is why he’s usually a 10-2 coach/team each year. Non conference schedule is total joke and even in conference isn’t all that tough. Each year, it seems like they only have two games that are tough and the rest should be wins. They will have to run the table to have any chance at the playoffs. As I said at the beginning of the season, if Franklin can’t win it all this year, he never will because he had all the stars aligned this season with all the guys back, a very experienced QB, and solid coordinators. Yesterday was great to see such a horrible loss to a no win team. I live in PA and their fans are cult like. But now they are all bitching about Franklin.

I love it when Ped St. loses and their white-trash fans can't take it! God is good!

He also took some blame but most losing coaches do that is. Except for Brian !
