Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
In one of the pregame shows they talked about coaches being on the "hot seat". Someone asked who is on the bigger "hot seat", Ryan Day or James Franklin? The reply was whoever loses today....... 
That wasn't the first fan to show displeasure toward Franklin. As the coach watched Ohio State celebrate on the field, the Penn State faithful booed Franklin before the school's band played its alma mater.
While some Penn State fans booed Franklin and the Nittany Lions' performance, others even chanted "Fire Franklin!" as he walked toward the locker room after the game.
"I understand the frustration," Franklin said in his postgame press conference. "Guys in the locker room are just as frustrated, if not more, but college football has changed, and we have an opportunity moving forward to right some wrongs from today, and that's what we're going to focus on. I get it. We get an unbelievable crowd here. Unbelievable support. You don't do that without passion. There are great things to come from that and there are hard things to come from that. That's part of the job, and I own it all."
