Please Think Of James Franklin And Penn State In These Difficult Times - Upset They Have To Drive 2 Hours To A Bigger Airport Just To Fly To USC
You expect a football coach to be happy to adapt? In 2024? Absolutely not. Football coaches are creatures of habit and I fully expect to hear James Franklin bitch and moan about this any time they have to fly out of Harrisburg. I get it to a degree, simply because I've made that drive far too many times in my life. I grew up about 20 miles south of Harrisburg and driving on 322 or 22 or if you're on 76 heading West it all sucks. Construction, people stuck in the left lane because they are scared of the mountain turns and trucks everywhere. No one wants to drive to the airport, but now we're talking about James Franklin bringing it up as to why conference realignment sucks.
Well, should have thought about that and went public with complaints a tad earlier. You know what could make sense? Regional conferences because that's what college sports was built on. It's supposed to be playing teams in the same area as you that you fucking hate. It's about rivalries that make sense, it's about having a conference name that makes sense. Not the ACC with teams by the Pacific. Not the Big 10 with 18 teams.
Now if James Franklin wants to stop complaining the State College airport could be done in a couple of months. Again, growing up in Pennsylvania there are far too many Penn State fans. They are all delusional and terrible, but if they think it means James Franklin will finally win a big game, they'll donate tons of money to improve that runway. I suggest sit back and enjoy the view of the Susquehanna when you get closer to Harrisburg. America's river.
