**Official Penn State vs. Iowa Football Thread - 3:00pm - FOX**

My 'like' button has put some miles on today.

Kirk's full comments.

 

[SuperHans]

Here's a rough draft for someone better at this than me. Would be nice to see something like this sent incessantly to Penn State fans.

 

[YugoslavianMountainHound]

Kirk's full comments.

The "Scuba" and "Turtle" references are specific to the point I am almost certain he is referring to someone who worked under Franklin and is basically saying we know you do it and did it.

someone PS big black dong guy onto that

Tyler Barnes worked for Franklin in 2013.

Imagine trying to call an offense, much less start 6-0 when this is the offensive line you’re working with. Outside of Linderbaum, this is embarrassing. Britt started blocking air after he got destroyed .3 seconds into the play.

One of my favorite things about watching this team is when, a second or two after a play ends, you see a flurry of activity in the corner of the tv screen, like six yards downfield.

What the heck is going on over there? Oh, it's just just Tyler Linderbaum murdering another guy.

 

[Soda Popinski]

I think I'm tired of arguing with those fucking idiots online.

What coinkydink.

 

[Harlan]

Shake it off. We need you on that wall.

 

[Hawk24]

Hmm. Who would have thought that a program like PSU, with a history of always doing the right thing, would encourage such sleazy behavior.

In another life…Kirk would have been an excellent mafia don. He has this incredible ability to just drop massive fucking bombs on people in this unassuming “oh gee, shucks, but if you protest I’m going to end your whole bloodline” sort of way.

 

[FranklinHawk]

Absolutely love it! That's about the most direct "GFY" response you're ever going to get from the good Captain..

 

[The Full Monte]

Bill seems to be fond of a particular color of herring

 

[The Full Monte]

Someone needs to chart the plays with “injuries.” I’m guessing the difference in yardage between them is stunning

also, I’m convinced that this was in at least some part done to mitigate the home field (crowd) advantage

 

[bigazzturkeylegs]

Tempo and momentum are two different things. Shouldn't be that hard to figure out.

 

[The Full Monte]

Also, the ONLY reason this is being talked about outside of Iowa message boards is that James Franklin decided to be a complete dumbfuck and attempt to deny something very publicly that every person with a brain knows is happening.

he stays quiet in the post game, and nobody is saying shit this week.

 

[cloudhawk]

Crowd, momentum and coaching during drives (which shouldn't be allowed)

 

[AZmessDAWG]

On to Purdue.

 

[Shawneemicks]

On to Purdue.

Thanks coach

 

[BBK]

Give em hell kurt!!!

I seem to recall seeing a tweet that had those stats - something like 14 yards per play prior to an "injury", and 3 yards per play for all others.

 

[BBK]

On to Purdue.

 

[Callisto]

You can run tempo without being fucking chip kelly oregon.

 

[26.2]

i love this team!

 

[SuperHans]

Sportswriters are dorks, sports "analytics" blogger guy is the absolute fucking worst

[neshawk]

Penn State should have carried off their "injured" players on stretchers.

Connelly is one of the biggest sports dorks to ever exist.

A 9-point plan to upgrade college football forever

We need someone we can trust to watch over all of college football. That might as well be me.

[newsbreaker]

If this is accurate, its damning.

But the fact Iowa has former Franklin assistants on staff should end the discussion entirely. They know. They know specifically and decisively.

Big, tough Army vet thinks Campbell hit Clifford too hard, guys.

 

[Karl Hungus]

Wat

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

We should thank him for his service?

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Did he have to ride home in the whambulance?

 

[Hawkstrat]

No wonder the taliban won

 

[Greg Obrecht]

Campbell probably should have eased up, placed a pillow and blanket on the ground, and then put Clifford to sleep.

 

[The Dad]

Those assholes use their QBs as running backs. I know it wasn’t a running play he got hurt on, but they’ve played with fire for years. McSorely got lit up time and time again but they kept running him. You always eventually reap what you sow.

 

[The Tin Man]

Crowd, momentum and coaching during drives (which shouldn't be allowed)

Not to mention a free timeout for their poorly conditioned players to catch their breath after big plays.

 

[Hawk&Balls]

He didn't even hit him that hard

Not really. Maybe we gained more yardage because they had an injured guy on the field.

He makes one hell of a slalom ski though

 

[The Dad]

No harder than the PSU guy who tried to run his helmet up Petras’ dickhole.

 

[BluesHawk]

I like feisty Kirk.

[The Full Monte]

I’ve watched that play probably 20-25 times. I’m actually confused how he got hurt. It looked routine AF

 

[BuffettHawk]

Of course L Wade is going to white knight Penn State.
