I have a buddy who grew up in State College, his brother was a walk on special teams player when they beat @creepycoug’s Canes in the Fiesta Bowl and his mom worked at Penn St. To say he’s a huge Penn St fan is an understatement.
He loves Franklin. Part of the reason is my buddy is black so he supports black coaches and but I suspect the main reason is my buddy is a light skinned black dude who looks just like Franklin and when he goes to games, gets mobbed by people asking for photos, etc. and he doesn’t want that to end.
