This is one of the busiest times of year for college football coaches. Most sacrifice time with their friends and family to prepare for the first week of the season.

But that didn’t stop Penn State’s James Franklin from thanking some of his team’s biggest supporters this week.

Franklin stopped by to visit the Penn State Marching Blue Band, hopped on a microphone and thanked the band’s members for their hard work and support throughout the football season.

You don’t see that kind of thing from college football head coaches very often.
