Apologies for the delay on this, I have been absolutely blitzed lately and my not-so-small business has really started to take off, so haven't spent much time on the boards or with my family. As many of you know, I am a proud Aggie (former walk-on) but also an avid Nittany Lion, as that is where I got my masters. Seeing Franklin get axed really hit me hard in the gut/sphincter. But sometimes a marriage just doesn't work out, and this was one of those times. Take it from me, a proud family man teetering on the edge of divorce due to my commitment to my business.

After meditating on the firing, it was time. Sure, I loved the White-Outs while I was Black-Out, and the tight uniforms that our players wore, but they could always be a bit tighter. Franklin pulled us out of the black hole (often referred to as Jerry's Hole) of the JoePa/Jerry fiasco, but didn't do much else. Franklin could count by two's (2's) and tie his shoes, but couldn't tell the difference between his foot from my ass, which proved to be his downfall and my uprising. Getting bent by the directional school of NorthWestern (literally directional) and those libs down in Cali was the straw that broke the coaches pubic bone.

I am not at liberty to say how much I contributed towards his buyout, but I can say it was in the high triple digits (spread across twenty-four (24) equal monthly installments as my small business is currently a bit cash strapped).

Not a story. Just my thoughts. You would know that if you could actually read.

No question Pedi State has underperformed this year. Taint that long Bottle (username checks out) and did read it all....teetering on divorce comment was oddly included in a football thought piece but is no shockeroo given the terse response Noah got. Keep the blue side up...

Honestly, the way this season is going... I have lost all interest in the coaching Carousel...the sips pumping themselves as being back, etc.

I can't wait until each Saturday. I re-watch games. I buy gear. I can't get enough. I am riding the wave for as long as it will last.

There should be something sacred about a marriage if it begins and/or ends in sync with the tenure of your team's HC. My wedding was right in the middle of the Sherman era. It's great and all, just wouldn't be sacred under this new rule.

That was kind of weird on a lot of different levels.

You might get better traction trying to write one of those funny amazon reviews.

But, if I were you, and this is just me talking, I'd start by just working on being funny.






























Then again, if you have to work on being funny. You're probably not. So,
stop.

Apologies accepted, as we've all been anxiously awaiting your thoughts. Now, finally, I can get into my weekend as I dont have a business or marriage to tend to.

Hog-**** comment (trying to keep this semi-Aggie related). I don't curse but that comment was just utter hog *****

There is nothing funny about a guy losing his job. That's the Stetson Bennett loser mentality that the younger generation has. You oughta get your butt beat, and I'll gladly be the one to spank it. Be better or get Jerry'd.

No problem. Figured it would be a good way to spark some dialogue from someone who experienced it first (1st) hand.

I'm glad you appreciated it.

High triple digit donation spread over 24 months. That's some smart estate planning.

So you kept me and almost 600,000 other Aggies waiting days for the following:

"Franklin could count by two's (2's) and tie his shoes, but couldn't tell the difference between his foot from my ass, which proved to be his downfall and my uprising."

That is criminal, sir. Jerry me if you like.

You smell like Brute aftershave.

Your business is taking off

Your spending too much time at your business and it's destroying your marriage

Yep priorities definitely messed up


Neglect equals half and that can be a lot

In a family with a profitable business

This will cost a lot more than your college donations and should
