The Goat Pen

And the Aggies come right back

The second half has been fun to watch. I didn't think Duke would have a chance.

A&M's defense is just non-existent

annnnnnnnd they get an interception 10 seconds after I type it

that game was fun to watch. every game I've seen that kid play is fun to watch

Very entertaining game.

A&M can't tackle for shit. Kinda sad to watch. Johnny Football is exciting, though. Like the old heads say from around the neighborhood, "he got a lotta stank in his game."

Bill O' Brian begs those kids who were ready to leave to stay at Penn St, then demands a renegotiated deal after 1 year reducing his buyout to go to the NFL, and then bolts 1 season after the new contract.

He gets my douchebag of the month award.

I'm kinda sick of hearing about the awful slave laboring kids who have to play college football and all the bad things done to them.

I can understand to a degree, but loyalty is a two way street. I would expect O'Brian, at a minimum to ride out 4 years with the freshmen he brought in. He essentially did nothing for Penn St. in terms of rebuilding. His first year was great, but reality set in and he bailed once it was no longer "fun"

I'd have bailed too. He did a good job keeping them competitive considering what was left. The Paterno crowd got on his nerves though. He said a few weeks ago he probably wasn't coming back.

He was hired to rebuild the program. I think he owed the school his best shot at it. He knew he was coming in and replacing a legend - the guy protected a pedophile and was so old he could barely move and they still rioted to keep him as coach. Did O' Brien just think he'd be loved universally?

Never be the 1st coach to replace a legend. Always be the 2nd.

He was hired to coach the football team at PSU. He did that for 2 years. He didn't owe them anything more than his contract stated.

you mean 5 years?

"Never be the 1st coach to replace a legend. Always be the 2nd."

That didn't work out too well for Billy Clyde...

O'Brien claims that PSU wanted more out of him than being head football coach and he was not interested in all the politics and glad-handing needed...weird that responsibility would lie on someone making 3X the amount of the next highest paid PSU employee.

Cutler gets a 7 year contract? good god almighty.

The Romo of the North.

just like Billy Clyde.....

wonder if there is a video floating around of him being chased down a hallway pretending to use his cell phone

Penn St. gets 6 1/2 million for the buyout of O'Brien
