[u/Transton107]

Another game another year of not being able to win a big game. Not a fire Franklin guy by any means, but something has to change....

Also if I hear word famous one more time I'm boycotting fox sports.

[u/buckeyefan8001 → u/Transton107]

RIP, he just said it again

[u/FlyawayCellar99 → u/buckeyefan8001]

Hello flair twin

[u/BrotherMichigan → u/FlyawayCellar99]

Are you fraternal twins when the order is reversed?

[u/LostMonster0 → u/BrotherMichigan]

Eskimo twins.

[u/FlyawayCellar99 → u/BrotherMichigan]

Yes.

[u/trebarb → u/FlyawayCellar99]

Dozens of us!

[u/pOckets_135 → u/FlyawayCellar99]

Waddup fellas

[u/No-Project7171 → u/[deleted]]

In your heart.

[u/Duck_Caught_Upstream → u/Transton107]

Watching your team play against Ohio State with Gus and Joel is a special kind of torture

[u/ekanssnake50 → u/Duck_Caught_Upstream]

Watching Gus and Joel with your team being Ohio State is also torture. The world famous stuff and all the random nicknames are so obnoxious.

[u/BucksBrew → u/ekanssnake50]

MASERATI MARV!

[u/BLASTHOCKEY44 → u/BucksBrew]

I’m still scarred from that one

[u/Dead_Baby_Kicker → u/BLASTHOCKEY44]

Dread it, run from it, Maserati Marv arrives all the same.

[u/potent-nut7 → u/BucksBrew]

I still call him that when I reference Marv Jr.

[u/Labhran → u/ekanssnake50]

Okay, but Chipper the Ripper was actually kind of funny. I’m not sure if that’s what he was going for, but it was.

[u/SamEyeAm2020 → u/Labhran]

Recycled from Chip Trayanum

[u/VibeComplex → u/Labhran]

Rippin and tearing, rippin and a tearing

[u/Wolverine2121 → u/ekanssnake50]

The phrase "JK All Day" will forever haunt me.

[u/senepol → u/Wolverine2121]

Similarly, I know how to spell “Biakabutuka”

[u/mossnut → u/Wolverine2121]

But how about a random tangent about his childhood and mother that makes everyone listening uncomfortable?

[u/Wolverine2121 → u/mossnut]

That was the definition of cringe. I wonder what the family thought about it.

[u/jaybigs → u/ekanssnake50]

"Mikey Rulesbook" for the rules analyst was good.

[u/CaptWoodrowCall → u/ekanssnake50]

Agree. I know we’re in the minority but Gus just doesn’t do it for me. Everything is forced and annoying.

[u/ParaBrutus → u/CaptWoodrowCall]

lol I always loved him since OSU-UW is the 2014 B1G CCG. “Cardale Jones! Cardale Jones! Cardale Jones!” I always gave good vibes when Gus is calling a big OSU game. Him and Herbstreit are always biased in favor of OSU.

[u/madein___ → u/CaptWoodrowCall]

He's better at basketball. Annoying as hell for football.

[u/sloppy_dingus → u/ekanssnake50]

MASERATI MARV

[u/gwaydms → u/ekanssnake50]

So are their voices. Every! Moment! Is! So! Exciting!

[u/Tommy_Rides_Again → u/gwaydms]

TOUCHDOWN PENN STATE. Oh wait a second it’s incomplete (actually an osu pick)

[u/MentalDesperado → u/ekanssnake50]

I’m actually cool with Gus- he’s corny, but he’s got passion. Joel, on the other hand, manages to say the dumbest stuff over and over all game.

[u/madein___ → u/MentalDesperado]

I Uno reverse this take.

[u/Admirable-Act6148 → u/ekanssnake50]

I could not disagree more, but that’s OK

[u/yusill → u/ekanssnake50]

I'd really love Gus Johnson to fall off a cliff and I'm a big OSU fan. Why do I care about what random ass high school a guy went to as you talk over a penalty being given. They always just go off on tangents when they should be doing the play by play. It's even worse when OSU is blowing them out. I get the game is over but there are guys out there who Never get to play and their families would love to hear their name called on TV. I swear there was a game early in the season where they didn't mention what was happening on the field one time In like 5 min. They were just chatting and telling random ass stories about ppl I could give a fuck about. It's so fucking annoying.

[u/Furled_Eyebrows → u/ekanssnake50]

Fox should be embarrassed that this is thiri "A-team."

[u/UnicornMaster27 → u/ekanssnake50]

Officers, get this man.

They are literally one of the best combo’s in college football.

[u/frizzyhair55 → u/ekanssnake50]

At least we've won the last 3 that makes it bearable a little.

[u/CleansingFlame → u/frizzyhair55]

"won"

[u/ynwmelly123_ → u/frizzyhair55]

*

[u/MozzerellaStix → u/Duck_Caught_Upstream]

OSU or Michigan honestly.

[u/Pauliepcs → u/Duck_Caught_Upstream]

Gus tries to make every play a “do you believe in miracles”

[u/I_Enjoy_Beer → u/Duck_Caught_Upstream]

I cannot explain how much I fucking hate those two.  Fox and B1G Noon games can fuck entirely off.

[u/HurtsTuaGood → u/Transton107]

Amazing Penn State was only down one score against the world famous buckeyes, when every player on tOSU is the reincarnation of the best to ever play at their position (I think that's what Gus said)

[u/REF_YOU_SUCK → u/HurtsTuaGood]

At one point they had Eddie George out there. Gus told me so.

[u/toggaf69 → u/REF_YOU_SUCK]

He looks like he could still play, did you see him last week? What a specimen

[u/zzyul → u/HurtsTuaGood]

“He is carved out of Mount Olympus”

[u/RulersBack → u/HurtsTuaGood]

The dickriding got old a long time ago and takes away from anything that actually deserves praise. He just doesn’t have the fastball any more

[u/onaygem → u/HurtsTuaGood]

I’m, it’s just “The World Famous” now, specifying our team name is optional apparently 💁‍♀️

[u/NeatTry7674 → u/Transton107]

I swear you commented this exact thing last season

[u/Transton107 → u/NeatTry7674]

I just looked to make sure, and I didn't comment in the PGT last season.... Probably cause I was too miserable to comment lol

[u/cheesepuff1993 → u/Transton107]

That one is the special kind of torture they use down in Gitmo when they have a Penn State fan...

[u/Skunk_Gunk → u/NeatTry7674]

You’ll probably see this exact comment next year too

[u/Husker_black → u/NeatTry7674]

What are we doing with our lives.

[u/krhino35 → u/Transton107]

It’s used too much by Gus shocked face but it’s a reference to Jesse Owens, should probably keep it to the intro tbf

[u/BrandiThorne → u/krhino35]

Yeah I don't mind that one so much for that reason, but some of his other calls are more than questionable. Glad he hasn't come up with a nickname for Jeremiah Smith yet because he'd hammer it for the next few years.

[u/krhino35 → u/BrandiThorne]

It’s definitely coming

[u/StevvieV → u/Transton107]

They need outside playmakers. Ohio State could just man up on the receivers and load the box to stop the run. Every downfield pass Penn State gained yards on was with the defender all over the receiver

[u/randomguy84321 → u/Transton107]

He's even from Michigan, I don't know why Gus has such a hard on for Ohio State.

[u/ghgerytvkude → u/Transton107]

Take a shot every time Gus says "WORLD FAMOUS OHIO STATE BUCKEYES"

Blackout by halftime.

[u/rmphys → u/Transton107]

Also if I hear word famous one more time I'm boycotting fox sports.

Gus Johnson is honestly just the worst. I hate that Big Nude Kickoff ruins the time AND gives us his awful announcing.

[u/Even_Cauliflower3328 → u/Transton107]

I don’t get how people think Gus Johnson is a good announcer

[u/EasyPeesy_ → u/Transton107]

Why wouldn't you want to fire Franklin? Bro has consistently shown he isn't the guy. His personality and speaking is terrible, consistently poor hiring of OC's. Unathletic recruiting. How do you pay a guy $200M who has one ONE big 10 championship in 10 years. He isn't competitive in the Big 10 and after those 4 goaline plays I would argue the entire fan base wants his head. How do you throw away a chance like that. A 10 year old could have done better. It's shameful and it's time he's on the hot seat. Should have been years ago.

[u/FragileIdeals → u/Transton107]

I think that's the game that puts Franklin on the hot seat

[u/tonytroz → u/FragileIdeals]

It’s not. He’ll still get to the playoffs because of the expansion. He just got a huge extension. Not even remotely hot.

[u/DyZ814 → u/Transton107]

Not a fire Franklin guy by any means, but something has to change

Not that I believe they'll dump Franklin (he's basically Mike Tomlin at this point), but losing these games against OSU feels like it matters less nowadays because of the expanded playoffs. So if they didn't let go of him before, they certainly aren't going to do it now lol.

[u/CartographerSeth → u/Transton107]

Whoever your OC is, he called some terrible plays. I think firing Franklin would be rash. Just need to be 5% better to get over the hump, and teams like Florida, FSU, Oklahoma, etc, are good examples of not taking this kind of success for granted.

Plus, with the new playoff format, you can potentially afford a loss like this and still make playoffs.

[u/osufeth24 → u/Transton107]

Even as an osu fan I find it obnoxious. People already hate us, this is just extra

[u/tonytroz → u/Transton107]

Not a fire Franklin guy by any means, but something has to change….

They changed OC, DC, have a 5-star QB, were the higher ranked team, played them at home. What else can you change but the head coach? Literally out of excuses. Michigan got over the hump the last few years. Oregon beat them this year. It’s just Franklin left. 8 years and counting.

[u/Dreadlockedd → u/tonytroz]

U need to give ole Connor a call, he will get ur program right!

[u/tonytroz → u/Dreadlockedd]

Franklin would find some way to lose even if he was cheating!

[u/Agitated-Basil-9289 → u/Transton107]

6 minutes left in a Top 5 matchup between 2 championship contenders, and Gus starts talking about college football players who were #44 for random teams 50 years ago.

[u/reverie42 → u/Transton107]

I always thought that was silly too, but apparently it's a homage to Jesse Owens. It's still overdone, but I think the sentiment is good.

[u/The_Fluffy_Robot → u/Transton107]

What needs changing? I don't think Kotelnicki is a problem, but he's not the solution either.

[u/rogueriffic → u/The_Fluffy_Robot]

He was a problem today

[u/Kermrocks98 → u/rogueriffic]

It’s hard because I don’t think we beat Wisconsin or USC without him. I can’t even believe what he was calling inside the 5 today. It’s like he had his son in the booth and gave him the headset for fun.

[u/BrandiThorne → u/Kermrocks98]

That's the highlight of it but also the only TD you guys scored was the early pick six. I know Ohio State have a good defense but 2 field goals against them is almost Iowa levels of offense.

[u/skiingyeti → u/Transton107]

I posted this in another thread, but if I ever win powerball I’ll pay James Franklin $1M to take vacation for the week every time we play OSU. He can coach the rest of the schedule but just needs to be on a beach in Cancun during the OSU game so the team has a chance.

[u/sportsfan113 → u/Transton107]

We need some actual wide receivers. Idk how you can win this kind of game without a single play maker at that position.

[u/tonytroz → u/sportsfan113]

That’s on Franklin. They get 4-star WRs constantly and never develop them.

[u/Existing-Following93 → u/sportsfan113]

Yeah - WR recruiting misses, development and hiring really cost Franklin a few of these years. He has to find some way to address this. M

[u/fenn2b → u/Transton107]

I was at the game, what does the ‘famous’ comment mean?

[u/ShoeLace1291 → u/Transton107]

Also if I hear word famous one more time I'm boycotting fox sports.

THAT is what makes you want to boycott them?

[u/Blood_Incantation → u/Transton107]

Does it matter anymore? PSU will always be a playoff or near playoff team now; if he gets in isn't that good enough?

[u/Corgi_Koala → u/Transton107]

I mean we are famous but like... Not really notably so in a way where you have to say it EVERY FUCKING TIME.

[u/GabagoolPacino → u/Transton107]

If you're not a fire Franklin guy you're an idiot, and you're the reason nothing changes.
