I don't know why this makes me laugh so much. Their white-out game is going to be on Peacock. And they've decided to play the victims. This is funny to me.

First, FOX put the Ohio State game at noon, Now NBC is burying the White Out behind a paywall

This offseason when you took a look at Penn State’s schedule, Week 10 was the obvious spot for the White Out, one of the best traditions in college football. Ho

If you haven't paid attention to what they often do in these scenarios.
However, corporate interests trumped tradition and fears that FOX would claim (about their chances during) Penn State’s Week 10 matchup with Ohio State for its Big Noon Kickoff prompted the program to move the White Out a week later when the Nittany Lions host the Washington Huskies.

They’re record in White-Outs is not even that great.

According to their Wikipedia site, their record is 11-8.

White Out (Penn State) - Wikipedia

Of course, they've got countless white outs that don't count as their official white out. But I really don't care enough to research it.
How sad is it that they have "official" white outs and "unofficial" white outs?

How does James Franklin lose that game?

You've got the ball at the 3. First and goal at the 3. Yeah, a touchdown doesn't win. But it gets you to overtime. Or, you can gamble it all on a 2-pt conversion attempt. And there's plenty of time. Not just plenty of time for 4 tries to get into the endzone, but plenty of time after those 4 tries.

You've somehow failed to give the ball to the best guy on your sideline. He's the leading rusher on your team, and you didn't think, "I should give him the ball." On the one pass play, it appears you thought about throwing to him, but he's only about 2 feet taller than the guy defending him, so you threw it into triple coverage and didn't score. But Ohio State has it at the 1 yard line, and about 5 minutes on the clock. And you have all of your time outs. So... stop them from running it (everyone else in the stadium knows they're running it, I should hope James Franklin knows), and force a punt. You should get it back around the 50, with 4 minutes left and a time out or two, or maybe 3 minutes left with all of your time outs left.

Oh.. you couldn't get them to 4th down? Okay, try again - you know they're running it.

Okay, you have to use all of your time outs now, but you HAVE to stop them..

Well, I guess you can go shake hands like a man. Hm... you didn't even do that very well. Last thing you can do is ignore the crowd and walk out of the stadium.

You really are the worst, aren't you?

And don’t be surprised if Allar shows up in Columbus next year for his last year.

No way. As of this time, Ohio State has three five star quarterbacks. Julian Sayin, from Alabama, Air Noland and as of now committed for 2025 tavien St Clair, who is the number one rated quarterback and the number two rated player in the 2025 class. Also, Devin Brown was about the 55th rated player and is a four-star quarterback and currently second string.

No way because Allar is turning pro most likely.

Do you really think the Buckeyes wouldn't pursue Allar if he hit the portal?

Question: other OSU fan sites claim Franklin blamed the loss on the refs and that he was fined 25k for shouting fuck your 3 times to a ref. Amy truth to the stories?

This is the first I've heard about it. But I haven't been to their boards, yet, today.
I know their fans aren't too happy with the refs, but I'd a-thunk we'd heard something if Franklin said that publicly, already, if it was public enough to get fined.
I know they don't like the one unsportsmanlike call for stepping over... I think it was Tate.
And they don't like that one of their receptions was reviewed and decided to be incomplete.
And... oh - the reception-fumble that was later ruled an incompletion.
And they aren't too happy with Igbonisun's interception - they think he was interfering with the receiver (yeah - the receiver's hand was stuck to Igbonisun's face mask, I guess), and then he didn't have control before he went out of bounds. Or maybe the receiver was out of bounds and touching the ball, making the ball out of bounds. Or something.
They also think the ball wasn't spotted correctly in the last 4 plays they had the ball. And there should have been PI called on Ohio State on 4th down.
I'm sure there's more that they're unhappy about, but I forget and I think those are the big ones. But I don't care to look up more.

So, you’re saying the ref fund had good ROI this year.
