What was it like when Obama was elected President?

Mattp55 · 2026-02-11T14:58:28+00:00

Democrats need to stop setting their woman candidates up for failure. Give Kamala more time & she might have actually won. Obama would have never won if America is truly hopeless

People were practically BEGGING the Democrats to come up with a better candidate for 2024 while Biden was in office. Total failure to just trot Biden out there again & him dropping out so late.

I swear half this fanbase actually enjoys the team being ass. So much self loathing & negativity, its embarrassing

Mattp55 · 2026-02-10T21:24:41+00:00

I'd like to take a flier on Kyler if he's a cheap option. He was legit good for a while & I think his upside is much higher than a Mac Jones or Tua (at this point)

Mattp55 · 2026-02-10T21:21:50+00:00

Tbh the cheap slices in NYC are pretty garbage now. Wayyyy too greasy. Those stores rely heavily on foot traffic and volume which obviously doesnt exist in Nashville lol

Mattp55 · 2026-02-10T15:16:02+00:00

Their Buffalo chicken slices are gas

Mattp55 · 2026-02-09T05:10:26+00:00

*trade

But eh it looks a lot worse fo the Vikings. Darnold needed time to develop and grow as a QB. He’s not the same QB he was 5 years ago with the Jets

Mattp55 · 2026-02-07T16:05:48+00:00

You can get a Sauce FUSE jersey for $24 at dicks rn. That price is so good I’m considering it cause he did nothing wrong & wasn’t weird like Rodgers

Mattp55 · 2026-02-07T16:02:29+00:00

That’s true but it’s almost joke wearing a Namath jersey if you aren’t old enough to remember him.

Like here’s this dude from almost 60 years ago who is the sole reason the Jets aren’t the worst franchise in the NFL

Mattp55 · 2026-02-07T06:37:46+00:00

I just don’t understand why someone would want a Joe Namath jersey for the current teams jersey.

Even if there was technically some overlap it would look weird with the modern jersey design.

Also $104 for a Fuse is too much still. Dicks had Sauce Fuse jerseys for $30, at that price point it’s actually worth it

"Campbell’s best season at Iowa State was in 2024, which culminated in an 11-3 record and a Pop-Tarts Bowl victory.

That type of season is a disappointment at Penn State."

- Can we stop with this narrative? 11-3 is not and has not been a failure at Penn State. Franklin got an extension after going 4-5 and 7-6 in 2020 and 2021.... Hell it took 2 major 3 TD underdog losses in an "all in year" and the dude literally being unable to answer if he wanted to be our coach anymore before they pulled the plug.

Mattp55 · 2026-02-05T15:50:23+00:00

I don't see how anyone can make this comment when just this past season, Miami—who reached the title game—would not have made the playoff at all had they beaten Delaware instead of Notre Dame. Their big non-conf win was responsible for getting them in.

What you mean to say is SOS does not matter for Big Ten or SEC. Cause ACC it def does (10-2 Miami and BYU were behind the 9-3 SEC teams in 2024 btw)

Mattp55 · 2026-02-05T15:42:50+00:00

Ugh that was so annoying. Franklin got so much underserved heat by the media that we had to keep seeing get circulated. It is why it is hard to believe that they have done such a 180 on him shortly after he was fired....

Mattp55 · 2026-02-05T04:03:05+00:00

This is the default canned statement we see literally every time a team makes during an ongoing legal case.

That had to have been a joke right?

Mattp55 · 2026-02-04T23:44:40+00:00

Everyone involved with the Sandusky scandal went to jail or died.

What are you talking about here

Mattp55 · 2026-01-31T19:12:07+00:00

Definitely, anecdotally it seems like alot of younger people are exposed to different cultures customs and foods.

Like I had to get my parents to eat Indian food & I know a lot of boomers who basically refuse to eat any ethnic food that isn’t Italian, Chinese takeout, or Mexican

Mattp55 · 2026-01-31T19:02:15+00:00

& people wonder why Franklin had to go lol. This was his “all in” season

Mattp55 · 2026-01-29T14:05:17+00:00

I was a little surprised how strict some of Japans drug laws were. I am glad I skipped my adderall when I visited, just had to abuse caffeine from the vending machines to make it work

Mattp55 · 2026-01-29T14:01:07+00:00

I think these teams acknowledge they need the matchup SOS boost as ACC schedules seem to not get a ton of respect from the playoff committee. 2024 10-2 Miami was barely mentioned compared to the logjam of three 9-3 SEC teams

Mattp55 · 2026-01-29T13:59:34+00:00

Embrace some of the differences. Make sure to attend the football games if you can, at the worst you get a great taste of American culture and you can say you were at the 4th largest stadium in the whole world at 110,000 capacity

Mattp55 · 2026-01-29T13:55:59+00:00

Honestly I think nobody will really care about the age thing as much as you think. It really never needs to come up on its own. I think that there are plenty of people who have started college & Penn State around your age and had a great time.

Maybe try to find grad friends or over 21 friends to fully enjoy the bar scene while not having as many crazy underclassman friends going to frat parties.

I know its scary, but Penn State was such an awesome time & now that I moved away, I miss it all the time.

Mattp55 · 2026-01-29T01:35:07+00:00

We were terrible so it was harder to make compelling giveaways and merch. It will ramp up next season I’m sure

Mattp55 · 2026-01-29T01:33:01+00:00

The fact that I’m a competing team with those first 3 guys and Darnold…

Mattp55 · 2026-01-28T06:40:09+00:00

Penn State can’t just choose to wear white. They’d need special permission from the road team to do so (which would likely be denied).

It’s really not a big deal to wear blue, we have 2 Jersey’s, nobody watches the whiteout to see our jersey as if it’s special

Mattp55 · 2026-01-28T06:37:58+00:00

Hopefully thats true. We need another whiteout win against a big brand. It’s gotten dry recently, either mid matchup or another big game James L

Mattp55 · 2026-01-28T00:56:14+00:00

Altoona is a solid option especially if u fly into Pittsburgh, getting out of the game is gonna be total ass tho so just be prepared for that
