It's on that last score where I'm now wavering regarding my earlier feelings regarding the necessary severity of the sanctions. I felt they should have received a two-year death penalty. However, thinking about the way such a penalty would have also affected all those rank-and-file people (the hot ...

Joe Paterno and his worshipers got their wish - the program died with him, as they always wanted. It always rankled them that Joe would have to be succeeded by anyone, that he would have to step down some day. My disgust for Paterno and his worshipers is total at this point. I take issue with the p...

There was some bad blood between Golden and Joe fucking Paterno...but let's face it, the sterling reputation Golden had was derived from his PSU roots. If we've learned anything at all of late, it's that this reputation was not well-deserved categorically...

Someone tweeted and said that O'Brien met with the NCAA and came out of it "optimistic". But I've got something else to say. I'm not the most emotive guy when it comes to the "bigger" stuff. I tend to stay back and process things for a while. I don't always like to go with the pr...

PSUFAN

Well, I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow. Absolutely the right move on the statue, in my opinion.

This is where true PSU fans show their mettle. If we have to part ways permanently with the Paterno fans along the way, so be it.

There are two HUGE stories, even bigger than my crank

So what you're essentially saying is that they are bigger than totally inconsequential? Get writing, midgets.

lol...I never noticed that until you mentioned it.

What, he's your fucking hero? Get your skinny MAC ass out of here, bitch. You're just embarrassed you creamed your pants a little early. It was just a study paper, not some decree about to be signed into law. If you think Jim Fucking Delaney is ever going to amass the power to fire schools' coaches...

It's hard to see either of those things coming to fruition...funny, though.

Terry, thanks for the response. I'd be inclined to give Penn State the death penalty ' Terry, are you also in favor of shutting down Catholic Churches in the wake of that abuse scandal?

I'm by no means a fan of Corbett, but must of the dark rumoring about his role has been cooked up by PSU fans who will hate him until their dying days for his role in firing Joe. Most of those folks voted for him in 2010, in all likelihood...and are perfectly happy with what he's doing to the state ...

every time you talk about Penn St's sudden efforts to raise awareness and provide assistant to groups that specialize in assisting victims of child abuse, I want to barf. Of course you do - because for you, it's actually important that this be viewed primarily as a football problem. Yes, you're coo...

I think what's clear is that Emmert will look at it. What the NCAA will find and do is unknown to you and I...and also Emmert, at this point. Unfortunately for you, though, USC will still be subject to sanctions - regardless of what the NCAA ultimately decides on PSU...and I'd be surprised if anyone...

PSUFAN

In the case of the Catholic Church - popes very certainly were organizational enablers to abuse, as Paterno was to Sandusky's abuse...if that distinction really matters, which I'm not convinced it does. Never have I asserted that the NCAA should ignore this. In fact, over and over I've said that sho...

PSUFAN, what’s your opinion on the library? Should his name come off of that? For years, the tendency to deify Joe Paterno has rubbed me the wrong way. I have tried to make that perfectly clear in this thread and many, many other ones. I've only been in the "Paterno" part of Pattee Librar...

PSUFAN

I am totally behind the effort to get the statue removed. This is ridiculous, though. Someone spent money on hiring that plane so that they'd get national headlines and be able to clap themselves on the back. Every one of those dollars could have gone to support advocacy and services, if that was tr...

PSUFAN

I seriously doubt they will wait 5 years. I agree that no stalling should be tolerated, but understand - the PSU community absolutely wants rapid efforts towards clarity on these matters as well. We can't just pick a point in this - like the point of the Freeh Report release - and say "we know ...

PSUFAN

So why should the worst offense ever perpetrated be ignored?

Sam...exactly who is ignoring it?

PSUFAN

there isn't a governing body for Churches. I have no idea why there isn't. There definitely should be, the need is well-established. As you say, my questions and comparison might be outside the realm of sports...but by the same token, isn't this whole scandal outside the realm of sports then? Aren'...

PSUFAN

My question about and specific comparison of the Catholic Church abuse scandal is directed to Terry, and is perfectly valid, in my view. I feel the very same issues attend on both scandals and our perceptions of punishment possibilities. I await his reply, and that of anyone else who is equal to the...

PSUFAN

The reasons for it are perfectly clear to me. People want to feel good about themselves and act like they're doing something - so they go after what's easy for them to accomplish, specifically, punishing innocents. Oh please. When you are allowed to collect a bare minimum of $7 million 10 Saturdays...

PSUFAN

How about shutting the entire fucking school for 5 years? Everything. I'm not kidding, either. Because that does absolutely nothing to punish the people that need to be punished. Because that says that the PSU community is defined solely by Paterno and by football - an assertion that is patently fa...

It would be hard to make the case that PSU gained a competitive advantage in any of this.

PSUFAN

Mgo, USC gained no competitive advantage on the field when a shady agent attempted to poach one of its established stars by providing his in-laws a break on the rent of a house. USC stood no chance of benefitting from that yet they were shithamered by the NCAA for it. Ohio St gained no competitive ...

PSUFAN

In Penn St's case, allowing their football program to continue on as it has would mean that their mass cover-up will go unpunished

Total bullshit. The coverup needs to be punished, so punish the people who engaged in it. Punishing people who weren't involved is useless.

People should not be on yahoo or hotmail email. People should be on webmail that uses SSL - that is, https://.

...and seriously, is that a terrible result? I think conversations about the implications of sexual abuse should definitely take place more often than they do. Unless they are among the Sandusky direct enablers or abusers, PSU fans are just like those with the questions, in fact they have the same q...
