RE Penn State (fuck off Vanilla)

Their "all-in" team for next year at its foundation is guys entering their 4th year, which for Penn State is looking like an all-time class. Abdul Carter, both RBs who should end up #1 & 2 on their career rushing totals list barring injury, the QB (still don't know how much he sucks but was a 5*), another DE and a DT who will hit the league next year, Ioane and another starting OL. It was like Pete's first class, but with the eliteness in identifying and developing Carter that Pete came closest to with Vea.

Winning the Outback Bowl will be speshul.

*losing
They've put so much pressure on themselves for this year that it is going to happen since he's James Franklin and the QB is not at the level they need to overcome James Franklin

I think they're in a great place. They might be the last program in college football that still has some continuity and gel with a group of guys and that could be massive. What I'm saying is I'm looking forward to them finding a way to lose to Oregon in September so the Ducks get momentum.

Minor poont…Abdul Carter is not coming back. He's going to be a top-10 pick in this year's draft. They do have another stud DL coming back, but I don't remember his name and don't care enough to look it up right now.

They have a lot of momentum and are the only cfb team that seems to be bringing back enough to justify the hype, however their best players on both offense and defense are gone. They had to try and bring in what they think is a legit receiver which means that without Tyler Warren, their QB is actually going to have to do some real QB'ing this time, so we'll see.
Washington should be looking at a program like this and aiming to have the momentum and support to be at this level and even surpass it with better coaching. This Penn St program reminds me of when Petersen finally had it going and it was just going to take stacking a few more classes and overcoming some of the disappointing post season results.

I know, was focusing on the recruiting class from 4 years ago and not their 2025 team. Dani-Dennis Sutton is the other excellent DE, Zane Durant is the DT. Both were honorable mention all conference.

Who are the big wallets backing Penn State?
Also, I think Penn State has 5,000 people supporting their NIL program and UW has 500 to 600. If UW had 4,500 more people sign up for Montlake Futures, that would generate over $2.8 million annually.

I don't think their "big wallets" are more than corporate doners run/managed by their alums. They just have a lot more of those due to general fan/alum passion.
There's nothing they do that Washington can't also do.

It's more alums by being a larger school with like 50 satellite schools. The contrast in sponsorship at PSU vs UW is always interesting to me.
PSU just sold the naming rights to the field of Beaver Stadium to something called West Shore Home, which is a home re-modeler for like $3m/year. We sold our field rights to the 5th largest airline in the country for $4m /year 10 years ago.
PSU gets sponsorship money from Highmark cause health insurance for the olds is such a big deal there. And there is sponsorship by like PA state employee credit union. Corporate Partners
We put Microsoft (or at least used to) in the stadium and have the Boeing Apple Cup. We list a bunch (and this is a bit old now) but those are far more national that what PSU gets. Washington Huskies Corporate Sponsors

One thing that seems unique and an advantage with Penn State is they are the only big time sports college in the state really in a massive state population wise. Ohio State has this too. Plus, both are excellent states for producing football talent.

One thing they can do is improve their Montlake Futures hats. I in a possibly mild manic episode donated and thought the hat was one of the cool things but it showed up and it's a stiff snapback style hat that I would never wear. No reason it shouldn't be a soft baseball style like old fucks and rich old fucks wear which is the whole point so they're wearing it out and on the golf course etc instead of having to give it to their nephew. I'm sure the snapback style is cheaper but 99.99% of people who are donating won't wear that style.

Wow the Pitt, Temple, and Penn slander! Actually, Eat shit pitt!
Pennsylvania and Ohio are basically the same thing, states with big population centers then tiny towns sprinkled 5 minutes apart throughout the state. The Pennsyl-tucky contingent, which is vast, are huge Penn State folks. The folks in Pittsburgh and Philly are as well, but less rah rah. Their kids are more likely to end up at Pitt, Temple, or one . They tend to think of Penn State fans as yokels. They aren't completely wrong. Same in Ohio. Columbus is obviously big but literally has no suburbs. Farm to table is a thing there. BTW Cincy has a cool little campus. The stadium is tucked into the campus and students walk through on the way to classes. Cincy, IWILTCI, is an interesting place, where there is some cool shit, but very obviously sketchy shit across the street. CSB.

Cathedral of Learning and Heinz Cathedral are pretty dope at ES Pitt.

Going to play football at Stanford right now is so unserious unless you're 100% going there just to play school. There's a much better chance they drop football than do anything even remotely relevant. They haven't won more than four games since 2018.

That said, this is a terrible look and makes you wonder why they took his commitment. Jedd's big junior day has now produced two big thuds and a couple of tap in put commitments.
