i agree a big time coach could elevate them to around wisconsin status...but as pathetic as paterno is now you cant forget that he used to be the reason to go to penn state...

where as at michigan and ohio state the schools recruit more than the coaches...penn state as a school isnt much of a recruiting tool and often is a negative as in terrell pryors case

None of these kids go to school for the education, if that's what you're getting at.

no im talking about being in the middle of a cow field and the fact that it doesnt have the history of an ohio state or michigan...football wise it might as well be called the university of paterno not penn state and paterno is a joke right now and will soon be gone completely

if youre sixteen or seventeen right now you were born in 1992 and dont know a thing about penn states best teams

There is still a significant income from the alumni backing and from having one of the largest capacity stadiums in the country.  But again, you and I basically agree that if they don't go big with the next coach, it's game over for quite some time.

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

im not saying thier stadium atmosphere isnt incredible or that they dont have a good football tradition im just saying their overall package doesnt come close to competing with a michigan or ohio state...its more a long the lines of a wisconsin and with a great coach could even surpass that...but it also could just as easily be below a wisky and with the purdues of the world which is where i think they are for the forseeable future

I would consider him an excellent hire right now, but if Rutgers fades back into obscurity, he will too.

Which isnt too far off, imo....

Sidenote - my Eagles and Rutgers ticket invoices came the same damn week. What the hell is that?

On a mostly unrelated note, one of my co-workers just paid his Patriots season tickets invoice...

$169 per game per seat.


He is in row 5 on the 40 yard line, but still.  His explanation is that they have no PSL's.

You may be right about Michigan but PSU's football history is definately comparible to OSUs.  I agree that the next coach is the key, with the amount of money that is involved in the program it could easily get back to being a consistent top ten team.  I think it is hilarious you compare them to Wisconsin a program that has been on the map for slightly over 15 years.
