I love how the “OGs” boast of working at PFF means something (to him). I’ve been on this board for 20+ years, and it’s never not been a collection of dummies, smart asses, and whiny babies - including myself. But it’s good banter for the most part. If someone was truly a guru at football and was wasting their time spewing it here instead of turning it into millions of dollars running a team or coaching a position, that says more about them than any of the “idiots” on this board.

I despise Matt Rhule, but I thought he actually handled that pretty well. He couldn't say "I have no interest, I don't even think about Penn State or any of my relationships that were formed there previously or with people there currently." That would've come off as disingenuous, which is worse than owning how much he loves the place when he leaves. Again, I think Matt Rhule is a bum, but he was in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation there. And I thought he took the right path.

Duke 6, Louisville 11, and Carolina 25 in opening AP Poll. Pretty much the usual suspects, BYU at 8 is interesting. With Carolina football being an utter embarrassment, hoping the hoops team can give me something worth watching.

Winless, pissed off, embarrassed Jets team in their home stadium after going to London. Panthers riding high, coming off a huge win, traveling to a city where there's a ton of distractions. This spot is perfect for the Jets unfortunately.

I get what you're saying. And don't disagree, but .... It's week 6. I could see if it's week 13 or 14 and we're eliminated from the playoffs. By not watching, you missed a pretty epic game and finish. The fun me and about 40 other Panther fans had at the bar far outweighs the frustration I have with the front office. And not trying to win for a higher draft pick isn't applicable to this staff. They've proven whether we pick 1st or 31st they will most likely mess it up. I also haven't seen any QB in college that is a no-miss pick this year. This post, and my positive spirit expires in 7 days when we lose at the Jets. Haha.

Yea, I was saying to a friend this weekend after beating Oregon that if I was IU's leadership Cignetti wouldn't get off the team plane when it lands in Bloomington until he was LOCKED into a lifelong contract. There are very few schools that could afford Cignetti's buy out this early in his contract - Penn State is one of them.

I don't use the term LOL, but this made me legit chuckle audibly. Nicely played, forgot about the Jay-Z model.

No, he got beat at home by Michigan this year. The other five wins are against Big Ten and Non-Power bottom feeders. He's 0-7 vs ranked teams, and each year Nebraska has started strong and then faded in conference play. Nebraska is 1-7 in two Novembers under Rhule. This year their November slate is USC, @UCLA, @Penn State and Iowa. Very possible they lose all of those games. His tenure at Nebraska is looking very Baylor-esque. And somehow he's still a front runner for the Penn State job. Which would be ironic since they just ran a very Matt Rhule like (as far as can't beat any good teams) James Franklin out of town.

What's the temperature in Charlotte today? Black helmets seem like it should be a late November, December thing when your team isn't getting crushed by the sun. I may be over thinking it, which I know no one in the Panthers organization ever does.

This aged very poorly after a day at the State Fair. Only thing worse than being around Longhorn fans is being around Longhorn fans after they win. Hope to have some get back today against the Cowboys.

Horns down, so far so good.

Playing Army, Navy or Air Force in the middle of the season is the kiss of death for any school that doesn't have the natural talent to overcome the option scheme. One week of practice isn't enough to prepare for stopping their offense for a roster like Charlotte's. There's a reason those military schools win 8+ games (almost) every year while having minimal football talent on their rosters.

Being in Atlanta would be worse than being in Dallas. Haha. Luckily there is a great Panthers bar here with like 40(ish) fans who are from the Carolinas or a fan of the team.

Texas / Oklahoma and the Texas State Fair. Over under on calories (liquid and solid) I consume today is 8750.5.

Now take your situation with Cowboys fans, multiply by infinity stupidity, and you'll know my pain living in Dallas. Haha.
