They weren't just big games, they were simply games in PSU's weight class.

When you lose that many games to peers, it's not bad luck. It's a pattern with causation. VT's ride was fun while it lasted. ** Edited by marcbvtgm at 11/18/2025, 2:42:05 PM

AbsolutVT03 • 11/17/25 09:58 PM ET
It's not that JF lost games that mattered, it's that he lost vs peers.
marcbvtgm • 11/18/25 02:47 PM ET
Is ODU a peer? Because we got boat raced by them at home. I’m not sure

Exactly.......starting with being able to manhandle ODU year in and year

How good was Penn State when Franklin got there? Before him ur last Final 4
Stech • 11/17/25 08:01 PM ET
O'Brien had a better record in his 2 years than Franklin's 2 yrs after him.
marcbvtgm • 11/18/25 02:55 PM ET
Agree on O’Brien, but you aren’t mentioning 6 10+ win seasons by Franklin
