Just watched the end of the game again on BTN since we left after 3,000 people in the stands tried to Shout.

What an asshole.

I didn’t watch the game. What did he do ?

Pass pass pass pass to score another TD at the end. Even after they had a 1st down at the 2-minute timeout where you could just take 3 kneel-downs and end the game.

I mean, I don’t blame him. It’s our job to offer at least a shred of resistance. We deserve to get embarrassed on network television.

It was already an embarrassment plenty.

 

[ImRonBurgandy?]

I dont have any problem with it. Game is played for 60 mins.

 

[Riveting]

Franklin may be available in the next year or two if he doesn't beat tosu.

I did before, but now that players get paid not anymore.

If our players, coaches and fans don’t care, why should he?

I hope Cignetti does the same thing.

I have noticed in the those IU games where there is 2 minutes to go, big lead but gets a first down .. once that first down is made they will take a knee until the end of the game. Franklin did the same thing in their Washington win that they did to Purdue. Washington is my 2nd team since I lived out there for 10 years. So I listen to their Monday press conference. The UW was asked about it and he replied something to the affect of "no problem with it. I don't want to ever tell a coach how to coach his team nor would I want a coach telling me how to coach mine .. we needed to stop them and didn't." Still IMO Franklin has always been a dirtbag even when he was at Vandy.

Not saying it’s something I would do as a coach, but as Bobby Bowden once said, “It’s my job to score. It’s their job to stop me.”

He was great wasn't he. He said some things that turned out to be classic.

They were going to complete their passes, so if he was doing that I would have sent 3-4 extra blitzers and make sure I flattened his QB.

But they probably could have blocked 8 of us rushing with their OL.

Amen, and if folks think that Franklin put the wood to us last weekend, just wait until Cignetti gets his shot at us in Bloomington...
It's like a prize fight, you have to protect yourself at all times and fight back....
