People come up with the craziest ideas. My assumption is you'll barely notice a difference in culture and traditions.

Rogers wouldn't intentionally kill the tradition. Our returning roster is young and few in number. They may not even have the song memorized. If we struggle to win games, they won't get any practice. Who's going to enforce it?
Apparently his injury was a torn Achilles, so with the severity of those I wonder his availability for next season. Regardless, I sincerely hope to keep him.
What does the defensive scheme have to do with it?
The point is that the defense largely carried the program during the Campbell era. And that defense had as little NFL talent over that decade as a P5 team could have in terms of NFL draftees. Yet that defense was one of the best in the country over a decade.
Campbell can and will hire a solid DC. But Heacock wasn't solid. He was a wizard that got more production from his talent than probably any coordinator in college football over that decade.
I'm just interested to see how the defense pans out because we've never seen a Campbell team without a Heacock defense.
We've seen consistently garbage special teams. We've seen a mixed bag from the offense with multiple OCs. We've also seen that offense be really good when it had a top 5 NFL QB, top 5 NFL RB, an NFL TE and two NFL WRs. Otherwise the offense has been mediocre to good.
The fact that Ryver Peppers hasn't announced anything publicly tells me that he and his agent are still negotiating with Rogers and Roehl.
Probably a dollars and playing time conversation, which will play out over the next week or so.

And if you believe those were the reasons, I have some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you.
How many fans know the fight song? We still have some returning players and I would guess that Roger’s asks if there are any ISU things that happens on a small scale that can continue.
It has already caused riff. There was a PSU player 2 days ago that entered the portal and cited on X it was disrespectful
You’re not guaranteeing that you keep them, but you’re giving yourself a head start and a leg up on retention, and that leg up isn’t included when you take a guy with only one year left.
Hope so. And, also hoping they're able to sign "two year" deals we've heard about being reported for other teams in the media.
People don’t like change really. So if you get them and they don’t feel disrespected, they will be content to stick around.
5'9" and 195- I am glad I do not have to tackle his a$$. A back like that is tough to get under his pads.
When I went to orientation, they had us sit in one of the Carver auditoriums and sing it over and over.
I think singing the Bells of Iowa State is a Campbell addition. I'd like to keep that one.
I'd love to get the stats on how many fans know For I, For S, Forever? Most games, I feel like 1 out of 61,500 that knows the words. When they actually play it, which has been less. Heck, how many could identify it when played? Or who wrote it?
The lack of retention was a need to clean house is what I am seeing and starting to believe. JFR was removing the entitled (Pick your own adjective here) from the locker room. Probably wasn't his first choice, but one to pay dividends down the road.
Not everything is a conspiracy dawg.
He posted these yesterday on Twitter...he's such a tool. He's trying way too hard to make TT seem relevant. Nobody would go to that sh*tty-a** ghost town if he wasn't shelling out crap-tons of money. Such a d-bag. He's all that's wrong with this new world of college athletics.
Kamari Moulton for ToE is the same size for comparison.
Nelson ran 33 carries for 186 yards (5.6/carry) against Villanova, the #6 team in FCS.
Campbell has been very open about how important having the financial resources at PSU are in allowing him to compete at the highest level. It's not some secret. He certainly downplays it as "it isn't everything" but he doesn't pretend like it doesn't matter, and that it isn't a massively important thing that makes the job attractive.
Man, I don't get the weird need to run cover for Campbell or players that leave ISU. They left ISU for more money. Nothing wrong with that. And there's nothing normal about fans of a team thinking everybody should root for those guys.
No legitimate college sports team's fans root for guys that leave for other schools. That's just not normal.
It's a dumb entertainment product. These guys aren't off to go battle a terminal illness or fight in a war.
They're going to play for a (indirectly) competing organization because they can make more money than our university could pay them after cashing ISUs checks for the past couple of years. It's fine, nothing wrong with that. But the dorks wringing their hands over people possibly rooting against Pedo State make no sense.
But feel free to cheer for Matt if you want. His comment about how great Paterno and how much integrity he had should make you proud to be a Pedo State and MC fan.
