I’m hearing James Peoples is making some noise as well. I told y’all taking the top 20 players at Iowa St and adding them to the studs James Franklin recruited is a gift 99% of the coaches out there would love to have. I’m feeling something special this year baby. The defense is also looking good going on what the Dude T-Frank says just in case Homer jumps on me about locked on &#x1f602; It’s gettin that time for some Penn St football baby I just hope our players ain’t playing with that Coke up there because it is Happy Valley &#x1f602;</p>]]></content:encoded>

<p>The law isn't fair.</p>
<p>My wife has a severely damaged eye due to a botched medical procedure at the Hershey medical center.  She was visiting her family in the Harrisburg area in 2015 when she noticed a change in her vision.  On the advice of family members, she went to the Hershey Medical center and waited to be seen.  When she was finally seen, the diagnosis was a partial retinal detachment.  The attending physician attempted to reattach her retina with a laser but was unsuccessful due to the blood which accumulated in her eye during the wait.  The attending physician then attempted a cryogenic procedure and then sent my wife to her mother's home for a week. My wife has stated that she experienced extreme pain during the procedures.  During the week, my wife followed the directions from the surgeon.</p>
<p>When my wife returned to the Hershey Medical Center a week later, she was informed that she now had a full detachment of the retina.  We were able to get her back to Huntsville, Alabama within a day and an emergency surgery was performed.  She followed the doctor's orders precisely for a month and went to multiple appointments. After a month or so, she was informed that the surgery had failed and another surgery was performed shortly thereafter.  After the 2nd surgery, the surgeon spook with me in the waiting room and informed me that he was able to save her eye but that her eye was severely traumatized.  I believe he said her eye fell-apart or disintegrated when he attempted to attach her retina.  Over the next several months, she underwent 2 additional surgeries.</p>
<p>It has been 11 years since the botched medical procedure.  My wife has limited use of her eye and cannot drive at night.  She has distorted vision, limited peripheral vision and her pupil does not react to light.  She sees a specialist monthly and uses multiple eye-drops daily. </p>
<p>My wife has never received anything from the Hershey Medical Center.  It seems highly probable that the cryogenic procedure was done improperly and caused the damage.  However, my wife was in a depressed mental state for more than 2 years following the botched medical procedure and she did not know if the injury was permanent. Therefore, she did not contact a lawyer.   When it became obvious that she would always have a significantly impaired eye, she contacted a lawyer and was told that she had waited too long to file a lawsuit.    </p>
<p>Imagine that - you deal with the mental anguish of a botched medical procedure and then when it becomes obvious that you are not going to regain use of one of your eyes, you get told that the law doesn't protect you because you didn't file a lawsuit within an arbitrary time period. And yet some other joker can file a lawsuit because he feels disrespected.    </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I'm sorry your and your wife went through that, but if a lawyer told you the 2 years were up therefore you could not file... that may have been bad advice. In PA, it's two years from the procedure OR two years from when you realized, or should have realized, something happened in a surgery that led to long term harm.</p>
<p>If after all those surgeries, one of the later surgeons implied or told you her eye had been damaged by earlier procedures... the 2 years would start from that point, not from when the botched surgery happened. Or you could have argued it was unknown if it would be permanent until later.</p>
<p>That said, as I have some surgeons in my family and surgery is never 100% What they call "routine" is anything but, and can have negative outcomes when doing everything right. Unfortunately surgery is as much art as science. It sucks to say that yes, but believe me they definitely wrestle with doing everything right, yet having a bad outcome. It can wear on them significantly.</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>@phantom-punch-65 Not too sure Campbell is all that worried about keeping the "best". as long as he can keep the right recruits.</p>
<div>
<div id="fanpost-body-0f21dd37-5ba7-4a81-a614-7ac91a0eabd5" class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _3m03pv0 _12grc8k1">
<p>Penn State fired James Franklin after week six and hired Matt Campbell.<span> </span><strong>Campbell brought 24 former Iowa State players with him, along with Rocco Becht—his fourth-year quarterback—and hired D'Anton Lynn away from USC to run the defense.</strong><span> </span>Justin Lustig returns on special teams and Terry Smith is back with the corners.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Campbell spent a decade turning Iowa State from the worst job in the Big 12 into a consistent winner. He did it without ever out-recruiting anybody.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is Campbell laying out the framework itself—offense, defense, special teams, and the ten steps he uses to get a roster to its ceiling.<span> </span><strong>It is the closest thing to a written explanation of what Penn State just bought.</strong></p>
<h2><strong>What "Trust the Process" Actually Means When You Write It Down</strong></h2>
<p>Every program says it develops players. Campbell's distinction is that he defined what development means before the season starts, in specific enough terms that a player can tell you where he stands.<span> </span><strong>A slogan you can't measure is decoration.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What transfers to a high school program:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Name the handful of things you'll be great at.</strong><span> </span>Not fifteen. Campbell's teams were built to win a specific way, and everything that didn't serve it got cut from the practice plan.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Development is a system, not a weight room.</strong><span> </span>The teams that beat more talented opponents are the ones where a two-star junior gets measurably better between March and August because someone planned it.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Retention is the whole ballgame.</strong><span> </span>Twenty-four players followed him across the country. Whatever you think of the roster mechanics, that number is the actual proof of concept—players don't follow a system, they follow a coach who developed them.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>The standard survives the personnel.</strong><span> </span>Campbell's best Iowa State teams looked nothing alike on paper and identical on tape.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If you coach somewhere that will never win a recruiting battle, this is the clinic to watch twice.</p>
<h2><strong>Nittany Lions 2026 Outlook</strong></h2>
<p>Becht in his fourth year as a starter running an offense he already knows, a defense handed to one of the best young coordinators in the country, and a head coach who has never had this level of resource.<span> </span><strong>Campbell built a winner at Iowa State with a fraction of this.</strong></p>
