PSU Campbell Presser

One thing that I have learned is that, with the exception of football players, Ty Burrell and Gene Kelly, the Penn State alumni base is almost as boring as ours. And they don't have the famous pron star, the soccer player from The Real World, or me.

Well he was very complimentary to start (see below)... would be interesting to see a clip.

You can’t fake that kind of emotion without training and talent.

Also, super smart to lean into rewriting history. If there is one thing that should sell in State College it is the promise of rewriting history.

Sounds like he was talking about “We Will” to me. Sounded like he was saying that Penn state has the funds immediately to get players and not have to have a “We Will” type program. I didn’t take that as anything more than that.

Agreed. Seemed to be comparing our "start up" from a few years ago to PSU's current state.
 
Campbell went 50-40 in B12, 3-7 against Iowa, won some bowl games, no scandals.
That'll be tough to top. But it can be done. Will be fun to see how Coach Rogers does.

I'm looking forward to Rogers taking ISU to a 12-1 season with a one point loss to the #1 team in the country in the B12 CCG and being shunned by the Playoff Committee.

That doesn’t seem to be any kind of swipe at Pollard or ISU.

I’m at loss as to how we as ISU fans aren’t seeing what continues to come out as confirmation Campbell is exactly who we thought he was.

I’ve heard people say how someone leaves a relationship tells you a lot about that person, and if anything I’m more inclined to think Matt Campbell is a good coach and a good dude based on what has come out.

At the risk of turning this into another Iowa-DCI-was-wrong thread... I'd say the time our staff and players made national headlines for breaking gambling rules was a pretty rough look

I just find it interesting that there is a consistent trend emerging where people have to characterize things with respect to Pollard in a way that does not hold up to close scrutiny. Now, I'm sure he is prickly and a control freak, a lot of people are. But I'm left with the impression after a long weekend that a heightened emotional investment in the former staff has led individuals to want to make Pollard a scapegoat.

One the one hand, sign me up!

On the other, I’m angry just contemplating the hypothetical.

Win-win!

That last sentence is rather redundant, isnt it?

SIAP (or at least versions of what I'm about to write), but when he teared up at the start of that it got pretty dusty in my own office.

I'm going to miss his being our coach. I grew up in Ames (51 now) during a time at ISU when football was at best an afterthought and at worse a laughingstock. Yeah, we had some good and even great times under McCarney and even Rhoads, but those weren't consistent the way they were under Matt Campbell. It might seem a bit of hyperbole, but I really didn't become a true Iowa State football fan until Matt Campbell arrived.

Watching Matt's presser at Penn State.... I'm even more appreciative of having JP here. Matt's walking into a sh*t show at Penn State... yikes. That guy he's going to be working for is a CLOWN.

Expectations have already been put on Matt in this presser... gotta take PSU to a National Title. That's a lot for a guy who said winning isn't the most important thing. Good luck Matt!

Also... almost made me puke when Matt talked about the integrity that Pedo State University stands for.

To some degree it is human nature though.

We’re social animals, so being likable is a huge advantage.

Let’s face it, there is no way Jamie Pollard would have lasted this long if he wasn’t really good at his job.
