I agree. As I stated last week a small 3-game winning streak does not erase that label. They've had MANY 3-game winning streaks in the past. Winning a Super Bowl OR winning 3 playoff games over a 5-year span without all 3 wins coming in the same year would erase the #SOL label.

Christian Wood on hearing all of the pro-Raptors chants at LCA: "That was first for me, especially being at a home game. I was a little surprised. We had more Raptors fans in here than Detroit Pistons fans. That's a first." Then Reggie Jackson chimed in: "Get used to it."

I just watched an hour of SportsCenter on ESPN. Despite the #Pistons agreeing to sign Monty Williams to the largest coaching contract in NBA history, they spent less than one minute covering the move. That coverage did not involve any insight from an NBA analyst.

After seeing that ESPN FPI predicts top 4 in the B1G East to be OSU, PSU, MSU and U-M and realizing PSU has back-to-back 11-win seasons, I asked myself, "how long has it been since others have had back-to-back 11-win seasons?" OSU: Last 2 years MSU: 2014-15 U-M: 1902-03 Stunning!

Some of the negativity directed at James Franklin is ridiculous, but nothing is more ridiculous than this. Citing Penn State's record when JOE PATERNO was the coach 2 decades ago as a reason why you don't like JAMES FRANKLIN? In his actual tenure, you'll see zero losing seasons.
