When a college football head coach stays at a school despite very clearly wanting another job

people saying “I hope it’s Brewers/Rays, that’ll ruin Manfred’s argument” really underestimate MLB’s ability to outright say whatever bullshit they want if it suits their argument

Actually, the best time to fire him was in 2022 and then in 2024 after Game 1 of the World Series.

Is Matt Campbell the right coach? Can he work here? We'll honestly probably never know because the next 2-3 years now will likely be him rebuilding everything behind the scenes while the roster gets humiliated on the field, and by the time it's fixed, he's probably fired for that.

It basically exposed the entire university apparatus as 12 rich old-man loving cheapskates in a coat, and as a result now we're stuck with a good chunk of the athletic programs middling, the basketball team as irrelevant as ever, and our own Billy Napier. Fun times.

The wars of the future will not be on a battlefield or at sea; They will be fought in a mid-tier Monster Energy Big XII matchup about who is the college football team of space.

there is a reason why my stance on playing pitt for years was “i want to play them because penn state would win but i am fine not doing it because of how mad this makes people”

Especially when everything told you he profiled as “Taller Ben Revere”. I like Ben Revere; he had a good career and guys who can run and defend will always have jobs in this sport. But he was never going to be a top of the lineup guy and to expect otherwise is just bizarre

If you ever wanna know why women ain't trying to hear "Not all men," those 7 men who did it weren't the only men in the group chat. Absolutely wild that not one dude in that group chat was like "What the fuck are y'all doing"

Gotta nip it in the bud somehow because as a, IG post I saw said (I'm paraphrasing), "Ruin the life of young rapists so they don't become old rapists in position of power"

this is supposed to be fun and championships are not end all be all, but realizing every team you love regardless of sport has the same ceiling of “exactly 3rd best team and not a spot higher” and constantly having to rationalize that is the only accomplishment for you gets incredibly old

And the five wins were then immediately followed by two gut-wrenching losses, two bludgeoning at the hands of the Lightning and one World Series I’d rather pretend never happened.

Everyone should read this but I realized why last night got me so upset, and it’s coming to grips with the fact every team I root for is Penn State football. It’s my teams going to 21 conference finals/LCS/final fours in the last 15 years and going 5-16. Losing in the exact same spot every time

And maybe if Middleton cared more about the roster than he did about trying to make a lockout fund for himself by slapping an ad on every single open space in the park, MAYBE this wouldn’t be happening

Matt Campbell being handed a gift of a Year 1 schedule and still going like 8-4 would very much be an us thing, wouldn’t it

A thorough ass kicking that included Bergeron scoring one of the most nonchalant goals I’ve ever seen. He literally looked bored scoring it

Besides being in my top five Tim Thompson opens of all time, it’s still one of the most dominant performances I’ve ever seen by a team in a series

I don’t have to tell Barry this but the Patrick Division is very NFC East-y in that you could pick two teams at random and odds are there’s at least one epic playoff series where just bringing it up evokes seething rage. Take a wild guess which two teams have inexplicably never met in the playoffs

Penn State losing to Iowa in 2008. Because that team would’ve played for a national title that year had they won.

Tough competition of course, but the Trump admin deciding that white South Africans are the only group of people on earth currently worthy of refugee status has to be the most overtly racist thing any administration has done in decades

That 2025 stint when every institution scrambled to bow before the eternally beloved god emperor's million-year reich was weird at the time and only looks weirder and weirder in hindsight. Way way way weirder than any of the alleged excesses of Woke 1

blatantly stealing a stat posted by ESPN elsewhere: Teams are now 1,046-2 over the last 20 seasons when leading with the ball in the final 10 seconds of regulation. the losses —NC State today —Michigan in the "trouble with the snap" game
