why is there a new thread again?


so, pretty much everyone agrees that PSU will take a step back next year, the degree of that step is dependent on the play of Morelli and a young defense.

im not as concerned with morelli as i am with the offensive line...to me thats the key for the whole seaso...their weapons at the skill positions will make up for any shortcoming morellli might have...the huge question is the o-line...michael robinson was able to make the line look good with his incredible escapability...morelli on the other hand is a statue so the line better be up to par


as far as the defense goes the secondary is a huge question mark...if they can be solid there they should be ok

Hazelton pulls back letter of intent to USC
Former Moore Catholic receiver now considering enrollment at Penn State
Thursday, February 02, 2006
By TOM DOWD
ADVANCE STAFF WRITER
The Vidal Hazelton recruiting saga apparently has a few chapters to go.

While high school seniors across the country -- including five other Staten Islanders -- were submitting their signed letters of intent yesterday on the first day of the college football signing period, Hazelton did not do so.

According to the player's father, Dexter Hazelton, the former Moore Catholic player will not be submitting his letter of intent anytime soon. Vidal Hazelton is currently enrolled at Hargrave (Va.) Military Academy, where he played last fall.

Hazelton had given the University of Southern California a verbal commitment at the end of December, but in the middle of January informed USC coach Pete Carroll that he was unsure of his commitment and was considering attending Penn State.

Vidal Hazelton was prepared to follow through on his December commitment and submit his letter to USC, but Dexter Hazelton would not sign the letter of intent. A parent's signature is required for all student-athletes under the age of 21.

"He's pretty upset right now that I didn't sign the letter," said Dexter Hazelton.

According to Dexter Hazelton, both USC and Penn State are still under consideration, though it will likely be awhile before either learns of the highly touted wide receiver's intentions.

"I'm going to hold back until the end of April," Dexter Hazelton said, referring to the end of the signing period. "I'm not going to sign the letter of intent until the end of April."

"(Vidal) can't sign anything unless I sign it," added Hazelton. "I have to sign it. I told (USC) I'm not signing it until the end of the period."

Hazelton emerged as one of the most highly recruited players in the class of 2006 after his performance at recruiting combines last spring.

ESPN ranks Hazelton as the No. 3 recruit in the country and recruiting Web site rivals.com listed Hazelton No. 7. Both ranked him as the No. 2 wide receiver in the nation.

Hazelton expressed discomfort with his son's selection of USC as well as the Trojans' recruitment of the player.

"There's a lot of things we don't know," said Hazelton. "The way they approached the recruiting process I wasn't happy at all. They went straight to Vidal. They didn't approach the family."

"I don't like the way they do their recruiting," he added. "I think it's wrong."

Dexter Hazelton said he informed USC at around noon the family would not be submitting a letter of intent. He said he spoke several times during the day with the school's coaches, including head coach Pete Carroll.

"They're not happy about it," said Hazelton. "They claim they spent a year trying to recruit Vidal. It didn't feel like a year. It feels like when they saw his ranking they started to recruit him."

Vidal Hazelton is currently at Virginia at school and was unavailable for comment.

"I don't want him to speak with anyone right now," said Hazelton. "Not the press, not anybody.

"Vidal's supposed to come here this weekend," added Hazelton. "We're going to have a talk with him. I think he's been blinded by a lot of this."

From ESPN Insider, the top 25 recruiting classes in order:

QuoteGrading the top 25 classes of 2006

By Tom Luginbill

Scouts, Inc.


Here are the top 25 classes, complete with letter grades, for 2006:

1. Florida: A
The nation's best receiver, the nation's third best quarterback and 11 ESPN 150 players. Urban Meyer sold his program well and has gotten the prospects he needs for both his spread offense and his 4-3 defense.


2. USC: A
So much for rebuilding. They've filled holes with three talented running backs and answered defensive needs with two of the nation's top safeties and outside linebackers.


3. Texas: A
Texas struck early to keep most of the top talent in their own state -- only two players come from outside of Texas. QB Jevan Snead will compete for the starting job and OLB Sergio Kindle is already on campus and can be impact player as a freshman.


4. Georgia: A
Despite QB Matthew Stafford being largely anonymous throughout the recruiting process, he is one of the top quarterbacks in the country and will compete for the starting job. Georgia added safety Reshad Jones to cap off a stellar class in the defensive secondary. On signing day they also added a top running back in Knowshon Moreno.


5. Notre Dame: A
Notre Dame increased athleticism and team speed across the board as Charlie Weis parlayed surprising on-field success to the recruiting trails. RB James Aldridge reminds us a lot of a young Cadillac Williams.


6. Florida State: A-
Late addition wide receiver Damon McDaniel adds an offensive weapon and linebacker Marcus Ball fills a need on defense. S Anthony Leon, one of the most underrated players in the country, coupled with S Myron Rolle, our No. 1 overall rated player, will make an imposing secondary for years to come.


7. Oklahoma: A-
Along with Adrian Peterson, No. 1 rated RB DeMarco Murray could be part of the best 1-2 punch backfield in the country. He's the most versatile player in this class and has the potential to wow as a freshman. On signing day Oklahoma landed two big in-state prospects in defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and TE Jermaine Gresham.


8. LSU: A-
The Tigers have dominated the state of Louisiana and have added speed to their secondary with No. 1-rated corner Jai Eugene and three safeties rated 7.0 or above. LSU added another top defensive tackle in Charles Deas to go along with No. 1 rated tackle Al Woods.


9. Penn State: A-
Maryland is now getting a zip code in State College -- they've snagged three ESPN 150 recruits from the state. No. 1-rated DE Maurice Evans is the best player nobody knows about, for now.


10. Ohio State: A-
The Buckeyes have started to reload at linebacker with two ESPN 150 players at the position. They've also filled key impact positions at defensive end and running back with in-state players Robert Rose and Chris Wells.


11. Michigan: B+
Michigan addressed defensive secondary needs with the addition of safety Jonas Mouton and S/CB Steve Brown. Justin Boren and Steve Schilling fit the mold of typical Michigan maulers from offensive lines of past.


12. Auburn: B+
Last year's class was loaded on the defensive side, and this year the Tigers are meeting needs at quarterback and wide receiver on offense. The defense hasn't been neglected though as they've filled needs along their front seven.


13. Clemson: B
The Tigers made a big late addition with running back C.J. Spiller. Clemson has addressed needs in the front-seven with bookend ESPN 150 defensive ends Jamie Cumbie and Ricky Sapp. ESPN 150 DB Byron Maxwell could play either corner or safety and is a physical presence.


14. Mississippi: B
Ole Miss has not seen potential impact players like this since Eli and Archie Manning played in Oxford. High school teammates Markeith Summers and Allen Walker coupled with RB Cordera Eason make an explosive trio.


15. Oklahoma State: B
Like Oklahoma, the Cowboys have been able to have a huge presence in the state of Texas. They've also lured in-state ESPN 150 DE Derek Burton to Stillwater.


16. Pittsburgh: B
The Panthers weathered the storm of a disappointing early season and were able to keep key early commits that came with the hype of Dave Wannstedt returning home to coach. DT John Malecki is a potential sleeper.


17. Miami, Fla.: B-
Coaching changes right in the thick of recruiting season didn't help. Though they lost QB Patrick Devlin to Penn State, they landed a huge RB prospect in Kylan Robinson, a transfer from Anchorage, Alaska who burst on to the scene in Tampa.


18. Alabama: B-
The strength of this class starts with the addition of in-state offensive lineman Andre Smith. Should be an impact player the moment he steps on campus. Had QB Greg McElroy played as a junior, he might have had a lot more publicity. He's a solid get after missing out on QBs Tim Tebow and Mitch Mustain. The Tide's defensive back seven has some nice additions, including high-motor LB Charlie Higgenbotham.


19. UCLA: B-
The Bruins have worked their way into competing with USC for California's top recruits, but they still don't have much to show for it with the likes of LB Joshua Tatum and RB Stafon Johnson picking the Trojans over the Bruins.


20. Tennessee: B-
The Vols have a better class than many are giving them credit for. Sleeper QB Nick Stephens out of Texas has real upside. They have three solid tight ends, though Lee Smith may end up being a defensive end at the college level.


21. Louisville: B-
Late additions of S Brandon Heath and DE Deantwan Whitehead provide a big boost on the defensive side of the ball for the Cardinals. Luring Josh Chichester out of Ohio, who's a big receiving target, is a big coup.


22. Texas A&M: B-
Texas has ruled the state everywhere except at running back; the state's three top-rated runners, Michael Goodson, E.J. Shankle and Latreal Cooper, will all head to College Station. Jerrod Johnson and Kenny Brown also add depth at wide receiver.


23. Maryland: B-
The Terps let an opportunity to land an outstanding class slip away by letting some of their in-state talent leave the border. That said, the Terps landed two top in-state kids in CB Pha'Terrell Washington and WR Drew Gloster.


24. Virginia Tech: B-
The Hokies are a perennial top-10 program and their recruiting class isn't about stars. It's about quality from top to bottom. Frank Beamer and his staff do the best job of projecting prospect upside out of any program in the country.


25. North Carolina: B-
The Tar Heels added depth and team speed across the board. There really wasn't a position other than kicker that they missed on

Except Carl Lindros and Archie Manning were in agreement with their respective sons, and they fought like the bitch prick assmunches they were to get their sons' way.

Dexter Hazleton does not seem to be on the same page as Vidal.

The only hope for Vidal to PSU is if he was only trying to honor his commitment and doesn't actually and deeply prefer USC to PSU.  I don't think that's the case, so I think he eventually talks his dad into making the USC commit official.

QuoteHazelton could sign this weekend

Mike Farrell
Recruiting Analyst

Yesterday was a hectic day for everyone involved with National Signing Day, especially for coaches, analysts and some players and parents. One such player is Chatham (Va.) Hargrave Military wide receiver Vidal Hazelton. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound wide receiver and his father had a long day. So what's the latest?

"Vidal is coming home (to New York) this weekend and we're going to sit down and talk about it," said Dexter Hazelton, Vidal's father. "I did not sign any Letter of Intent for USC yesterday. This is a situation between myself and Vidal."

Rumors surfaced that Dexter would only sign a LOI for Penn State and that he wouldn't allow Vidal to attend USC. Players need to be 21 years or older to sign without a parent or guardian.

"No, I'm not refusing to sign for USC if that's where Vidal wants to go," Dexter said. "We're going to talk things over this weekend and if that's where he wants to go, then I have no problem signing. And I think that's where he wants to go."

So why the delay?

"I felt that Vidal was being rushed into this decision and there was also a situation where Vidal was falling behind in a class and that's something that's not acceptable to me," his father said. "When I was talking to him about it, we got into an argument and he hung up on me. We didn't talk for two days until he called me back and said he needed me to sign his letter for USC. I asked him if he remembered how our last conversation ended and then hung up on him.

Academics are a high priority in my house and I've raised Vidal for 18 years and now he's hanging up on me? That's not acceptable. One of the concerns I have about USC is that he'll be far away from home and he likes that 'Hollywood' style out there and I need to make him aware how he needs to keep up with his academics out there."

Does Vidal's father favor Penn State as the choice over USC?

"Yes, that would be my choice because I feel more comfortable that the people at Penn State will take care of him better and that's what any father would want for their son. But I also think USC is the right fit for Vidal because he's more comfortable with the quarterback situation out there. He's spent the last three years with a below average quarterback and I know how frustrated it can be. Football is fun for Vidal when he has a chance to show what he can do and he feels better with the USC situation."

Dexter also didn't like the way USC reacted to his effort to get his point across to Vidal.

"I asked Pete Carroll to help me out with this situation and he didn't seem to want to hear it. He came off to me as someone who didn't feel it was a big deal. I care about making sure my son has thought out his decision and understands what is expected of him if he goes to USC."

So does Penn State have a chance here?

"I'm going to talk to Vidal about everything this weekend, let him know where I'm coming from and then he will make his choice. If he picks USC like I assume he will, I'll sign the letter. I just want to make sure I've done as much as I can as a parent before he makes this big decision."

And why make this public?

"I've heard a lot of things out there that I'm controlling my son and refuse to sign his letter unless it's for Penn State. I've heard it compared to the Kellen Winslow Jr. situation. I want to make sure everyone understands what's really happening."

Hazleton has been taken off the USC list of signees.


Like I said... looks to be a long shot he'll go to PSU.

Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on February 03, 2006, 03:39:39 PM
Penn State's QB situation is about as good as a kid could hope for.  Morelli has 2 years of eligibility left and has a very high ceiling.  Devlin is one of the top QB recruits ever to join up at PSU, and Brackett would appear to be a decent fail-safe if something doesn't work out with Devlin.

Oh, and Chris Ganter r0xorZ!

Go back a couple of pages.  I specifically quoted you and told you who Bostick was young man.  Basically he was the second best Quarterback overall at the Army All-American game behind the youngest Clausen.  Ahead of Tebow, Mustain, Sneed, etc.  Best high school player I ever saw play.

"I know I need the football, it's like a disease with me almost...I know how frustrated I'd be in an offense that can't pass the ball but I also know I'd be frustrated sitting on the bench as well. That's why it's tough...USC has Steve Smith and Dwayne Jarrett and told me I'd have to beat out Smith to earn a starting role. Penn State told me I'd start from day one. But USC's offense has been more proven over the last few years. This is why it's tough and I'm so confused...Hazelton remains committed to USC, but proximity to home is starting to creep in as well...The only thing really wrong with USC is the distance...I know I can compete, I know I'll play out there, I have confidence in my ability. But I'd also like to have my family, my grandparents be able to see me play. This is hard." - Vidal Hazelton

His stepfather adopted him, and I guess his moms had/has some sort of issues.

Either way, USC is much further for her as well.

I find it a little hard to believe that PSU told him he'd start from day 1... not that his upside isn't 1000% more than Deon Butler, but that's crazy that they would just out-and-out tell him he'd start opposite DWill.

Sounds like anything could happen.

Although, there is no doubt he'd have a BETTER chance to start right off the bat at PSU... the issue is that the only PSU receiver that's going to be older than a Junior next year is Terrell Golden, and he's no better than #3 on the depth chart right now anyway.  They have Williams, Butler, and Norwood, who will all be Sophs next year.  They have Bell, who may or may not Redshirt.

That said, if Hazleton and his upside is as good as he thinks he is and as the scouts think he is, only Williams and Bell have a chance of keeping him off the field.  Butler and Norwood are OK role players and contributed more than expected in 2005, but neither have a ceiling anywhere near Hazleton's.

dwill had as much to do with the recruting as lj did....lj did a masterful job in md...a place where he is well known giving him a huge advantage...it wasnt like he was going into ohio and snuffing kids out from under the buckeyes

he deserves credit no doubt but the perfect timing of getting dwill last year mixed in with this md class being so good and the 10-1 record had a lot more to do with this than lj

you also have to remember normally md hs football is pretty weak...so even were he to be successful in the future the rewards wouldnt be nearly so fruitful

After spending three years training exclusively at Neshaminy, all-star lineman Tom McEowen recently switched to a private gym, MVP Sports Training and Fitness in Bucks County. A senior who is headed to Penn State on a full scholarship, McEowen gave up other sports when he was a sophomore to concentrate on football.
This year, however, the 6-4, 273-pounder plans to add spring track to his schedule to help his conditioning.
"I work out primarily with free weights and exercises to improve my agility," said McEowen, who runs 40 yards in 4.87 seconds and bench-presses 360 pounds.

Penn State, who do you think you are?
March 2, 2006

Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt has tried. He really has. He wants to play Penn State. Heck, he used to as a Panther player, and he loved it. But the Nittany Lions want none of the Panthers.

It's a shame, really.

Oh, Penn State will play Pitt -- as long as the Panthers make two visits to State College for every one the Nittany Lions make to Pitt.

Where does Penn State come off making that demand?

I was in Wannstedt's office earlier this week, but we didn't talk about Penn State. He's busy trying to build a program. And from the looks of the Pitt facilities and recent recruiting class, Wannstedt has the Panthers pointed toward big things.

Penn State? I guess it has bigger non-conference fish to fry than Pitt. You know, games vs. the likes of Central Michigan, Cincinnati, Akron, Central Florida, Temple and Kent State in recent years. This year, I-AA Youngstown State is on the Nits' schedule.

But there's no room for a home-and-home with Pitt. What a flipping joke.

Imagine the excitement an annual Pitt-Penn State game would generate. It's not difficult to do, considering the schools met pretty much every year from 1915-2000. What has changed at Penn State for it now to view Pitt like it's Eastern Montana Tech?

Pitt is in a BCS league and plays in an NFL stadium. That's good, right? The game would be a sellout and likely televised nationally. That's good, right?

Hmmm. This may take some detective work.

Some say Penn State snubs its nose at Pitt because of a grudge Joe Paterno holds against the Panthers. This goes back to the early 1980s, when JoePa proposed the idea of an Eastern-based conference. Pitt rejected it. JoePa seethed. If that's true, doesn't JoePa know that grudges and resentment only hurt the person holding them? He's too old for that junk.

Maybe Penn State's outlandish 2-for-1 demands aren't based on an old-time grudge held by Paterno. Maybe Penn State is just flat-out scared of Pitt. If that's the case, well, that's just sad.

What this all boils down to is ego. It's a simple case of one school thinking it's better than another. How else can you explain Penn State's demands?

what a douche bag

Young Lion anxious to roar again
An injury forced Derrick Williams to miss much of Penn State's season.
By Frank Fitzpatrick
Inquirer Staff Writer

Sometimes Derrick Williams cried on the practice field because it hurt so much - the inactivity, not the broken left arm that forced him to miss the tail end of Penn State's remarkable 2005 season.

Sometimes coach Joe Paterno would put an arm around the broad shoulders of his prized recruit and try to convince him that the painful down-time might prove to be a beneficial experience. He could learn more about pass routes from the sideline. He could learn more about defenses and coaching tactics.

But mostly Williams, a wide receiver, learned that he couldn't abide life without football.

"It was very depressing," Williams said yesterday during a break from Penn State's spring practices. "I'd never been hurt, never missed a game or a practice. Sometimes I'd go out there and cry. Joe said, 'You can learn a lot more from this experience.' But I really didn't want to hear it."

Now, fully healed and seasoned by both a spectacular half-season and the sideline classroom that followed the Oct. 15 injury at Michigan, Williams is eager for his sophomore season to begin.

With Michael Robinson's legs extracted from a Penn State offense that now will feature junior Anthony Morelli at quarterback, his versatility and game-breaking abilities become even more important. Look for Williams, who ran the ball as often as he caught it in 2005, to line up more often in the backfield.

"One thing the coaches said is that they're not worried about [seeing him run the ball during the spring]," he said. "They know I can do it."

Fast, tough and smart, there apparently is little that Williams can't do on the football field. He is, as his teammates will attest, a force of nature.

"What surprised me about him as a freshman," said defensive tackle Jay Alford, "was how fast he is. He's unbelievable."

And like so much else in nature, Williams has been reborn this spring.

"The return to contact was a joy," he said. "Just being out there again with my teammates. Missing practice was one of the toughest things in the world for me. Missing something I loved so much. It just [stinks] sitting there and watching."

Before sitting out the final four games of Penn State's 10-1 regular season as well its Orange Bowl win over Florida State, the freshman from Greenbelt, Md., had been the player who gave opposing coordinators nightmares.

In seven games, he caught 22 passes for 289 yards and a touchdown that beat Northwestern in that game's final minute. He ran the ball another 22 times for 116 yards and 3 TDs. And he returned 13 kickoffs, including one for 56 yards against Central Michigan.

"He can play the game of football," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said before the teams met last October. "There are some guys who are just fast, but are maybe not football players. Derrick Williams is a football player. He's out there having fun."

But it wasn't much fun being on the sideline. After doctors set the break, it took several weeks for the swelling to subside.

"I had to take a couple of steps back in the weight room," Williams said. "It probably took a month for me to get my range of motion back."

That still seemed to leave him plenty of time to heal for the Jan. 3 Orange Bowl. But even though Williams practiced in Florida and said he was feeling near 100 percent, the always cautious Paterno held him out against Florida State.

"I really didn't lobby [the coaches to let him play]," Williams said. "I knew it was in the coaches' hands and I knew Joe would make a good decision. My family and I put our trust in his hands.

"Now it really feels better than ever, stronger than ever. When I came in this spring, I was back at full tilt. I wasn't rusty or anything like that."

It's a good thing the arm is healthy. As Williams and the other Nittany Lions receivers have learned during spring practices and in off-season workouts together, Morelli's passes are delivered with a great deal more speed than Robinson's.

"He throws one of the best balls I've ever seen in my life," Williams said.

10-0 Blue, 3rd Q.  The TD was on the final play before halftime as BranDon Snow ran it in from 1 yd out.  Morelli was something like 13/16, 170 yds at the half, and DWill looks completely recovered...  :yay

They keep showing commercials for a new restaurant on campus...Quaker Steak and Lube (http://www.quakersteakandlube.com)  :-\

Paul Cianciolo played the first half as the White QB, but now he's the Blue QB. Had a nice pass to Norwood to get inside the 25, then completed a TD pass to Lyons....17-0 Blue after 3

DWill lined up at QB on two plays.  The first was a complete pass to Norwood for about 5 yds, then the next play was launched 35 yds down the left sideline  :o

State of Affairs

With over 30 offers extended, the Penn State coaches are pursuing prospects from Michigan to North Carolina. In fact, only about 21 percent of their offers have gone to Pensylvanian prospects. If you add in other traditional recruiting areas like New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Maryland, Washington, D.C. and Virginia, that number increases to about 62 percent of the total current offers.

Chris Colasanti: Penn State
Sidell Corley: Florida
Broderick Green: USC

That Tyrod Taylor is really climbing recruiting boards.  He apparently did very well at the Nike Camp in State College.  People thought he was more of an athlete but he showed polished passing skills at the camp.  Mike Robinson needs to be on the phone with this guy early and often. 

Edit: Josh Marks is also announcing tonight.  It is thought he is going to PSU.

Marvin Austin is considered the best player in the country period right now, he would be your ALE of last year. 

I do agree that Benn is not likely to come to PSU but Kamara just committed to Notre Dame so I am not sure he will go there.

I agree but it would nice to have another #1 player. 

The guy I want is the RB from NC.  He is a physical freak.  6-2 245 4.58. 

Of course Benn is tops on my list but I am not expecting much on that end.

I read an article comparing Devlin and Bostic which basically stated they are equal in ability.  Devlin had better stats for the most part and the only reason he was a 4 star last year is because how strong the QB class was last year.  This years relatively weaker class makes Bostic a 5 star.  Take from that what you will.

Police seeking ex-PSU player
Chisley a 'person of interest' in student's death
By Pete Bosak
pbosak@centredaily.com

BELLEFONTE -- Former Penn State football player Lavon Chisley is a "person of interest" in the June 5 stabbing death of university senior Langston D. Carraway, the Centre Daily Times has confirmed.

Chisley, who is a friend of the victim, left the area soon after Carraway's bloody body was found inside of his Patton Township apartment He is being held on marijuana-possession charges in Anne Arundel County, Md. Centre County authorities also placed a detainer on Chisley, saying he is wanted in Centre County.

Karen Muir, Chisley's attorney, said she expects the former Nittany Lion to be charged with homicide in the very near future, although police have remained tight-lipped about the investigation.

"I anticipate in the next 10 days he will be charged," Muir said. "And we do intend to fight these charges to the fullest."

While Chisley is wanted on an outstanding drug charge in Centre County, District Attorney Michael Madeira confirmed Tuesday that police want to talk to him about Carraway's death, which the coroner said was from multiple stab wounds to the neck and chest.

Carraway, 26, was found in a pool of blood in his living room, where he was attacked. Police think Carraway knew his killer, as officers found no sign of forced entry into his Northbrook Lane apartment.

A racial epithet was smeared onto a nearby wall in the apartment, sources said.

"He is a person of interest," Madeira said. "We'd like to talk with him. He may be able to shed some light on what occurred. Because he hasn't been around, we want to talk with him."

Sources said Chisley left Centre County within days of Carraway's death, first heading to Georgia before landing in the Anne Arundle Detention Center in lieu of $2,700 bail. Because of the detainer placed on him by Centre County authorities, Chisley cannot be released even if he posts bail, detention center spokeswoman Angela Walker said.

Chisley, 22, was scheduled to be in Centre County Court for a protection from abuse hearing Monday. The hearing was the result of charges brought against him by his former girlfriend, who said in court documents that Chisley threatened her and their child and threatened to shoot a member of the woman's family.

The 6-feet, 5-inch former defensive end -- kicked off of the Penn State team last season because of poor grades -- has had some run-ins with the law, including accusations he threatened to kill his girlfriend's uncle and later causing a disturbance in the courthouse before a scheduled court appearance.

Police first became suspicious of Chisley after he did not attend the funeral for his friend or contact the Carraway family to offer condolences, Madeira said.

"I know they were friends," Madeira said. "He was friends with the victim, and he has not answered some of the questions we have because he was not around. That does not make him guilty.

"He's just someone we want to talk with," Madeira said.

When that will happen was unclear Tuesday. Chisley will have to go through the court system in Maryland before returning to Pennsylvania to face drug charges in Centre County.

Madeira, who is out of town at a district attorney's association meeting, did not know whether police had arranged to interview Chisley in that Maryland jail.

The county's top prosecutor declined to say whether police found physical evidence at the scene that they can link to Chisley. "Nothing we could discuss at this point," Madeira said.

The apparent motive in Carraway's death appears to be drug connected, perhaps a robbery, Madeira said.

Carraway's father, Vernon, who works in Penn State's office of Vice Provost for Educational Equity, declined to comment.

Chisley started nine games for Penn State in 2003, and has 67 career tackles (35 solo) and five sacks.

I can't vouch for Penn State.  There weren't numerous times I completely blacked out and found out later just how ridiculously drunk I was.  And I certainly never woke up in the morning next to anyone I didn't remember.  And I certainly didn't personally drive no less than 3-4 of my friends to the hospital to get their stomachs pumped.

Obviously, none of that ever occurred.  What a snoozefest.

I have partied at 4 of the schools on that list, and I must say that of those four they are all deserving of that list.  I have been to PSU, WVU, Wisconsin, and Texas.  Of the four I would put PSU on the bottom of that list, my reason the sluts up at PSU aren't nearly as slutty unless you go to school there.  The other schools like strangers.

I guess it is harder for me to judge because every time I have gone down there something crazy has been going on.  The best thing about PSU compared to the rest of those schools other than football day is the fact the bars always have good specials and prices.  To me of all of those schools though the best would be Wisconsin for partying they are very liberal when it comes to smokin the reefer.

Five drunken observations, starting with the negative:
1. Apparently Andy Reid was calling the plays because State ran about 5 times.  Their offensive looks like it will get swallowed come Big Ten time.
2. Watch Morrelli try to check down, its not good.  Everytime his head swiveled he either over or under threw his receiver.
3. Derrick Willams=Steve Smith.
4. Deon Butler is probably a better technical receiver than D Williams, which would make this corp the 2nd best (USC) in the country.
5. Penn State is traditionally a slow starter, so in this case that might bode well for the season.

Also Penn State needs a farging special teams coach.

Couldn't disagree more, ND is very overrated this year.  PSU only threw so much because they had a big advantage  in that aspect.  Trust me they definately have a shot against ND.  They are currentyly getting beat by GT.  PSU's D will not be nearly as bad next week.

It might not happen, but I think PSU is every bit as good as ND this year.  And I am not one of those PSU fans that has ridiculous expectations.  Personally I think they are a 8-9 win team, that being said they are setting a solid foundation for a very serious run next season.

Eh. He's not that fast and is worse than Michael Lewis in coverage, I'd take probably 6 or 7 guys over him.

He's a SS too mussa, so he wouldnt replace Dawkins. He returns punts though, he has that going for him.

Yup, and I'd say he's lost more than a step. He's great in the middle but when he has to move laterally or play pass coverage he's awful.

It is a little early to write off Morelli, that being said if Michael Robinson was still back there PSU probably wins the game easily.  Morelli has had a tough go of it no doubt, but he has had to play at two of the toughest places in the country in his first two starts.  I am very excited for this teams future.
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on September 24, 2006, 08:07:44 AM
Morelli has a strong arm and NOTHING else.  He was awful at feeling the pressure (or not feeling it when he was well-protected), he's awful running or throwing on the move, and more importantly, he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.  He was consistenly throwing behind his receivers and just chucked up a couple of ducks.

I mean... he made maybe 4 or 5 really good throws, and that's it.

At this point I agree with you, all I am saying is that it is way too early to write him off.  Remember Robinson's start to the season last year? I know they are two totally different players, but it takes some time for a QB to settle in.

Maybe not a great QB but he was a great player.  Morelli has had to play in two games in completely sloppy conditions and I didn't get to see the ND or YSU game, but to me he has shown flashes.  He definately has the tools the question is can he put it together, imo he only has to be solid his WR corps could make him look great.

He had the ability to mix in his athletic running ability.  As soon as he stopped putting the ball on the ground, he stepped up and became a player.  Morelli does not have that ability, so we'll see.

PSU was clearly the better team on the field, but again they continue to shoot themselves in the foot.  At one point they were 2-5 in redzone attempts.  Overall it as a sloppy game and they didn't seem to really be that interested most of the game. 

The announcers were terrible, it was that women who might be the biggest idiot to ever announce any sport and Mike Gotfried.  That guy sounds like a complete drunk when he talks. 

They look like they are going to have some players that are going to be real studs from this past recruitng class.  Quarless, Wallace, Odrick, and Evans.

No, he should have been redshirted.  He isn't a great QB but he makes some throws that are just unbelievable, and others make you wonder WTF? That pass he threw to Williams at the sideline that Williams dropped was unreal.  I don't know what happened to Jordon Norwood, but he can't seem to make a catch to save his life.

...that cat is gonna live forever the problem is hes gonna coach forever too

With his career and his philanthropy, he has earned the right to do whatever the farg he wants.  He doesn't have to prove anything to anyone.  I can wait for him to decide when he's done.  Hell, they'll probably be carting him out on the field for 5 years after he's dead.

Tell you what, you lay down $4 Mil to the Uiversity, and the AD will let you pick the next head coach.

so the penn state head football coach position can be bought?

isnt he allowed to donate money to the school even if he isnt the head coach?

longevity is not a reason to accept medicority (or less)

not to mention a valid reason for him to go is that hes embarrassing himself....its been really sad watching him act like a senile old lunatic these last few years....for the sake of everyone but mostly himself...please GET OUT

I don't see why it matters anymore anyway.  Galen Hall calls the offense, and Tom Bradley calls the defense.  Larry Johnson is fastly becoming the top recruiter.  It's not like Joe's holding the team back at this point.  He's a figurehead and occasionally earfargs the refs.  What's the big deal?

Until one of the three aforementioned assistants leaves because they're sick of Joe, there's really no reason for him to retire.  That said, with the flu at OSU and the knee mess at Wisconsin, I wouldn't be surprised to see him bow out after this season for his own health.

He had every right to be screaming when the refs chose not to put time back on the clock as Wisconsin was purposely going off-sides to bleed the clock.  It was amusing how it ended up costing them when they recovered a fumble with no time left.

I agree he could go at any time, but I don't really see the roles of the assistants changing very much when he leaves.  They'll probably promote Bradley to HC and Johnson to DC and head recruiter.

But like I said... I think the issues at the OSU and Wisconsin games will start to signal to Joe that it's getting to be about that time.

QuoteThe Penn State Football operations and medical staffs have a mobility plan in place to make Coach Paterno available for team activities on and off the field. Paterno will take a day to recover from the surgery and is expected to resume activity on Tuesday and coach in the game against Temple, which kicks off Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in Beaver Stadium.

Paterno was on the phone this morning with members of the coaching staff, discussing game planning for Temple.

Morelli finally lived up to the hype today.

Um... not really.  He just didn't absolutely suck.

He played extremely well today, he made good decisions with the ball and put the ball where it needed to be.  His final stat line was not great, but he actually looked like a QB out there today.

Derrick Williams apparently called a meeting with all the returning players and told them he absolutely expects a national championship next year and that anything less is unacceptable.

That led me to a severe I doubt your sincerity? moment.

this year theyve replaced the three or four reverses a game he used to get with three or four direct snaps

i dont get it...the guy can absolutely fly and yet in his two years there theyve gone deep to him maybe ten times...he gets the ball behind the line of scrimmage more than he gets it in front of


on the bright side him being held back keeps him in college where hell hopefully have a break out year where they challenge for a title

Well, after dealing with spoiled millionaires for the better part of 15 years, I can't imagine traveling the country recruiting kids would be such a bad gig, especially considering (1) he'd be at a top tier school whose reputation does a lot of recruiting-work on its own, and (2) he's a Super Bowl winning coach and most kids would likely be awe-struck by that.

I don't think getting kids there would be a problem at all for him.

I think he'd jump at the chance to coach at PSU especially if they banked the Brinks truck up at his doorstep (which you know they would for sure).

Absolutely, but that is a pipe dream.  I also agree that LJ is a better recruiter.  I wouldn't have huge problem with Bradley being the next HC as long as they got a young innovative OC. 

All that being said, I do tend to agree with both of you that Bradley probably is not a HC.  All I am saying that we don't really know what he would do.

He also could end up breaking Pozlusny's career mark for tackles next season if he gets around a 100.  He definately should have the opportunity because the LB corps is loaded again next year.

QuotePaterno visits Salesianum, Howard today
Howard DE Still among nation's top recruits yet to decide
By BUDDY HURLOCK, The News Journal

Posted Tuesday, January 16, 2007 at 2:37 pm
Legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno made recruiting visits this morning to both Salesianum School, and then Howard High.

Howard senior defensive end Devon Still has received scholarship offers from dozens of Division I-A programs, though Still reaffirmed today that his decision is down to Penn State or Ohio State.

Salesianum senior tight end Andrew Szczerba has already made a verbal commitment to play football at Penn State.

Still and Szczerba were selected as the state's co-linemen of the year for 2006 by the Delaware Interscholastic Football Coaches Association.

Paterno, 80, recently completed his 41st season as head coach at Penn State. The season ended with a 20-10 win against Tennessee in the 2007 Outback Bowl.

Penn State linebackers coach Ron Vanderlinden, who made today's visits with Paterno, said that Salesianum and Howard will be the only two schools that Paterno will visit during the recruiting period. The first day of the upcoming signing period is Feb. 7.

Paterno said this morning at Salesianum that making recruiting trips is still something that he does not mind.

"I've enjoyed it," Paterno said, "and I think maybe when I don't enjoy it, I'll get out of it, but I enjoy it."

Yay Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_alcohol_content):
QuoteUnless a person has developed a high tolerance, a BAC rating of 0.20 represents very serious intoxication (most first-time drinkers would be passed out by about 0.15), and 0.35 represents potentially fatal alcohol poisoning. 0.40 is the accepted LD50, or lethal dose for 50% of adult humans. For a long-time, heavy drinker, those numbers can at least double. In extreme cases, individuals have survived BAC ratings as high as 0.914

QuoteWhile the race is too close to predict, at least one recruiting expert believes the Lions are the clear-cut favorites.

"Most coaches out here (Southern California) don't think Green's coming," said Allen Wallace, publisher of California-based SuperPrep magazine.

if he de-committs from usc that will be huge

not only do they desperately need a rb....i think they only have two scholly rb's for 08...but it would send a message to potential recruits that while psu may not be on the level of a usc they can go head to head with them and win a battle

green will probably be redshirted meaning people from gables class will be juniors by the time he plays

and again green is a big power back like lendale white...these other guys arent...you dont think these kids see what happened with bush and white at usc

plus why shouldnt he think hes the best of all of them...these kids all do...why couldnt gable or mcknight or anyone else be austin scott and green be tony hunt

usc is a pro football factory that plus pete carrol plus national champsionships plus the pacific ocean plus model like women.....

I read that Tyler (the #2 RB) broke his leg and might be converted to LB.  They'll find a way to get him in there, but he could have been a starter for PSU instead of getting just a couple of carries a game out west...

Post by: ice grillin you on February 07, 2007, 02:32:24 PM
but he could have been a starter for PSU instead of getting just a couple of carries a game out west

is there a link somewhere that says hes only gonna get a couple carries a game at usc?

he went to a place he loves and could easily be a starter for a national champion who put people in the pros like they are the nfl's feeder system

he actually has as much chance to start at usc next year as penn state....which is about none

in two years as of now yes he would have a better chance of playing time at penn state...but he also has a better chance of playing behind a zesty oline and/or a zesty qb and/or on a zesty team and/or in ten below weather for a much worse coach ect...

believe me for every reason the penn state homers can come up for him to go there and there is 1 (potentially a better chance to start) the usc homers can come up with 20 reasons to go to usc

Post by: ice grillin you on February 07, 2007, 03:06:33 PM
you really dont wanna get into the football argument with anyone vs usc much less penn st

usc has better everything when it comes to football

if green plays to his capabilites he will play at usc and if he plays he has a much better chance to make the pros

if he starts at penn state and thats not even guaranteed...ask austin scott...he still might not make the pros as the football players around him will not be nearly as good

if he sucks it doesnt matter where he goes...but if hes good he made the absolute correct decision

this argument can be made about about every big time recruit that goes to a big time football school ever single year.....50 times over....why does anyone ever go to usc is the question???...you know how silly of an argument it is for a big time player (if he really likes the place) to not go to usc because they are too good???


im a penn st fan just like you easy but you have to be realistic...dont use the typical sour grapes arguments like he went for girls or usc paid him....he went because its a superior football school in every possible area....its why i said in todays college football landscape i dont see penn state ever going head to head with usc for a big time player and winning....its just not gonna happen....especially with players outside of penn states comfort zone (big ten country - md - nj ect....)

anyway....penn state still had a pretty good...top 25 class most likely and it follows a real good year last year...they have nothing to be ashamed of

Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on February 07, 2007, 03:22:14 PM
I'm not too concerned about it, mostly because Austin Scott was a top recruit and Tony Hunt was the afterthought.

As IGY said, PSU still had a solid class, considering how good last year's class was.


Oh, and they got Brent Carter and Evan Royster last year - neither were recruited as standard Big Ten "power" backs, but they still might have some potential.

From BWI:

QuoteThis is one of the most confusing set of circumstances I have ever seen with a player Penn State was recruiting, especially in the final five days before signing day.

BWI was told Green verbally committed to Penn State for the first time on Friday, Feb.1 and that commitment was re-confirmed to Penn State on Sunday [Feb. 4], Monday [Feb. 5] and Tuesday [Feb. 6]. It seems all that changed Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, when Green had meetings with Pulaski Academy's head football coach, Kevin Kelley, that the Green family didn't know about and during those two meetings Coach Kelley supposedly called Pete Carroll and had Green talk with him for extended periods of time.

This is legal under NCAA rules. A prospect can call a coach during the "dead period", but the contact over the phone can't be placed by the coach. Now you know why Green's mother, Wilma Murdock, was so upset at the press conference.

I hope Green's mother confirms this and gives us the interview. If my understanding of this situation is accurate the role Coach Kelley played in this story is unbelieveable.

Agreed, I think everyone that is a fan of any college team gets pissed when they lose a recruit at the last minute.  This is a similar situation that happened to PSU a few years ago when they thought they had Henne, it just so happened that they got Morelli instead.

No, you're missing the point.  You're saying that PSU/UPS fans are more whiny than average when it comes to "losing" recruits, but all schools' fans that pay attention basically react the same way.

Yes, it is true I am done playing football at Penn State. There is a chance that i go somewhere else to ball because I am a football player and I love the game things just didnt go the way me and my family wanted. There were alot of things going on with the coaches and things like that. There is a chance that I just stay here and go to school because were I want to go and play football i would have to sit out a year and things like that so i have to see if that is what i want to do. Anyway I am keeping my head up and not letting no one break me so leave a comment if you like or just hit me up with a message. And for the people who made it hard and stuff i forgive you and i will make it

Charges against Justin King dropped
By Pete Bosak

The Commonwealth this morning withdrew all criminal charges filed against Nittany Lions cornerback Justin King as preparations for a hearing on charges against King and five other football players was getting underway.

King, who was a 2006 second-team All-Big Ten pick, saw charges of criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and harassment withdrawn. No explanation was immediately given for the prosecution's decision to drop the charges.

QuotePenn State lineman's football career over after neck injury
Associated Press

Posted Friday, May 11, 2007 at 11:44 am
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State offensive lineman Elijah Robinson's football career is over after he sustained a neck injury in spring practice.

Robinson walked off the field and was not hospitalized after the injury, but team doctor Wayne Sebastianelli discovered after examinations that Robinson was born with a tight spinal canal, team officials said.

Any impact to Robinson's head could pinch the spinal column and result in paralysis, the team said Thursday in a statement.

Robinson, of Camden, N.J., had been in the running for a starting spot on the line. He had two years of eligibility left.

"This is a big loss for the team," coach Joe Paterno said. "I'm disappointed for him in regards to his football career, but you can't take any chances with his future."

Per BWI:

In 2008, the Nittany Lions open the season with two home games — Aug. 30 against Coastal Carolina and Sept. 6 with Arkansas State. The next week, Sept. 13, Penn State travels to Syracuse and, as of now, Sept. 20 is open date. That date is rumored to be a pending home date with TCU.

In 2009, Penn State opens the schedule with four consecutive home games — Eastern Michigan (Sept. 5), Syracuse (Sept. 12), Temple (Sept. 19) and Iowa (Sept. 26). The only date not spoke for, as of yet, is Oct. 10, which is still listed as TBA.

Coastal Carolina and Arkansas State?  What are farging joke.  As a Penn State fan, that embarrasses me.

6.75 per tick plus an additional 3.00 charge for the entire order is laughable

like i said you will be able to buy a ticket in the lot for less than the service charge on one of these tickets

i also dont understand why the eagles charge 6.75 service fee for each ticket...we all know ticketmaster is a bunch of crminals but this deal is thru the eagles ticket off

actually it is through ticketmaster, when i clicked the link for tix, it took me there.

also, 11/10 - psu/temple at the linc, then the next day the birds are at FedEx.

He was throwing the ball really well, but I did see him take two really bad sacks.  He could have easily thrown the ball away on both.  Other than that he looked really solid.  The offense was not overly impressive, the defense looked amazing.  I know it is FIU, but they were knocking the snot out of people.  Hopefully that trend continues next week against ND.

I don't know if you have watched OSU at all this year but they are not that impressive.

cause they are super young...but also ultra-talented...they will be infinitely better in five weeks than they are now...even average quarterbacking should win them the big ten

I know that Morelli is Rex Grossman, huge arm, no brain

Morelli can only dream of being half the QB that Grossman is.

Morelli sucks.  I feel bad for the group of decent WR's that will be lucky to get any play in the NFL draft because their QB sucks.

Put in Devlin.

Morelli consistently has plays through out a game that make you go "what the hell was he thinking?" If he could just make good sound decisions, I think this team actually would have a shot at a national title.  Unfortunately he has done nothing to show that he can.

IGY as far as OSU, what you say is true, but I don't see them winning the big ten this season.  They are always ultra-talented so that is nothing new, they just haven't impressed me with their play.  It is not like they have played a team with any talent.  You can say what you want to about Notre Dame but they definitely have some talent on that roster.  They will be in the hunt for the big ten title, I just don't see them winning it.  The sad part is even with Michigan totally shteining the bed they actually could still win it

thats cause they are young as hell and working a ton of new starters into the lineup...and they dont have the qb play they are looking for yet...if they get that...and admittedly its a big if they will easily win the big ten...if they dont they still have as good a shot as anyone else as the big ten doesnt have any good qb's cept henne

I wish it were only his decisions and pocket presence.  Also, his accuracy is highly suspect, and his mechanics suck most of the time.

Basically, the thing he does have is a STRONG arm.  That's it, though.  He's even ugly.

No. 12 Penn State (2-0) vs Buffalo (1-1)
   
University Park, PA
12:00 PM ET Big Ten Network
After allowing just 10 points total in its first two games, Penn State looks to keep the defensive good times rolling, hosting Buffalo. The Bulls had a good effort of their own on defense last Saturday, holding Temple to minus-36 yards rushing.

directv has it cause its owned by newscorp and bigten network is 49% owned by....newscorp

it essentially comes down to a silly pissing match between the big ten and comcast. outside of a few times a year, big ten network is a vast wasteland of crap. but there are a few games people want to see every now and then, though not big games, those still go to espn/2/abc. so why would comcast pay all this money to put some shteinhole channel they dont own on basic cable so people can watch it for 3 hours a week a few times a year? no sense to do it.

big ten network was a horrible idea. at the least, they should syndicate the games out to local channels (ch 17 and 29 are owned by fox, csn has a relationship with fox sports net) so philly people can watch the penn state games. but that would essentially be a victory for comcast, and the big ten network cant let that happen.

blame the idiots who thought having big ten network would be a good idea. it can work if ALL they games go to big ten network, like michigan-osu and such. but they would lose so much money if that happened, so it never will. no one wants to watch northwestern vs. perdue mens lacrosse. no one. its a horrid idea and will end up being a huge waste of money.

since its just there for seabiscut, its a good channel. same with anything that just appears on your cable lineup without your rates increasing. this is why most cable operators outside of comcast dont carry versus or oln or whatever it is. its comcast owned and they charge a ridiculous amount for a zesty product that shows bike racing and hockey.

the only reason btn is a discussion is cause of the michigan-app state game. thats all their gonna have, shtein matchups like that. maybe in a few weeks theyll have that big indiana-northwestern barnburner everyones been achin to see.

Looks like a typical regional college football telecast.  The same kind we get for the Gators and Seminoles on the Sunshine Network.  If it wasn't Penn State, I woudln't bother.  And I definitely wouldn't pay for it.

That said, it's really nice to be able to watch Penn State nearly every week.

BTW, PSU just tied it 3-3.  Got to about the 10, but couldn't convert.

Since the Eagles don't seem to be using Hunt, do you think they could let Paterno borrow him today?

No, the fumble by the Buffalo player almost looked like a planned pitch.  Threw it right to Scirratto.

Norwood with the reception for a TD.  Being reviewed - probably will be overturned.  Hell of an effort, though.  Was tipped, and he tried to catch it flat on his back on the line.

actually not true...if they arent robbed at michigan two years ago they easily could have played for the national championship...they can win but its gonna be a once every 20 years thing when the stars align...or it could be a semi regularly occurance if they hire the right coach to succeed paterno and not someone bradley

After watching both Temple and PSU, I can honestly say Temple has a great shot to cover the spread. Temple's losses come from them shooting themselves in the foot with mindless penalties and fumbling the ball without getting touched, and also they have horrendous special teams. Temple's gonna have a lot of momentum and hopefully 1 win under their belt, so they can keep it close. But they have no shot to win, App St. at least knew how to win, Temple has no farging clue.

He's obviously an idiot, even measured by football player standards.  He'll go down as one of the bigger recruiting busts in PSU history.  Morelli should be glad it's taking attention off of him.

All this said, a Homecoming win this weekend against Wisconsin would be nice, but it really won't change that the team will end up bowl-eligible but with no shot at the Big Ten title or a BCS berth regardless.

There's a pretty good chance he did it since he basically dropped out of school and moved home as soon as word dropped about something happening. He hasn't even bothered to say anything about being innocent in spite of the fact that this has been known on one level or another for a week.

Plus he's a college athlete. Not as much motivation for a gold-digger to Kobe his ass.

from what i've heard, it's not rape.  plus, have you heard of a rape suspect being allowed to move away from where it allegedly happened.

the girl that's involved has a history of accusing people of this sort of thing, so that's why it's taken awhile for the whole thing to get sorted out.

Ok, maybe they updated the story, but it clearly says that he was charged with rape, released on bail, and that he wouldn't comment "as he walked out of the courtroom".

These are matters of public record.  Are you arguing about whether or not he is guilty?  If so, I don't see the relevance of where he goes after he gets out on bail (unless he leaves the state).
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: Geowhizzer on October 13, 2007, 08:57:37 AM
I remember when the Duke case started, the DA was so certain of his conviction, and the players were convicted in the mass media (particularly ESPN) at the onset.

I don't mean to compare the particulars of this case with Duke, and I have a hard time believing that the DA in State College will be as... blatantly crooked?... as Nifong was, but the system is geared to be a process, not a snap judgment.

Unfortunately, innocent until proven guilty has been degraded in an age of instant news and even faster speculation.  Scott probably isn't a saint, and he may indeed be guilty of rape, but we really need to let the system work that out.

Of course, what fun would a message board, especially CF, be without the snap judgments?!?!?!?  :D

Austin Who?

Questions for the PSU gurus out there...
1) Does Derrick Williams have NFL talent?  Will he get a shot in spite of the terrible QB'ing he's had to play with?

2) PSU always seems to have an effective rushing attack, yet PSU running backs haven't been successful in the NFL (LJ not withstanding) - does this make PSU o-line U?

3) Did anyone else catch the comment about Joe Peterno's traffic run-in?  "Then the husband came over and said 'Do you realize that is my wife you are talking to that way?' and Joe said, 'That's your problem'"

1. Williams has speed and talent, but I doubt he's anything special at the pro level. He reminds me of Greg Lewis. I'd say he's a late round pick at best. He might get drafted higher because of his punt return ability.

2. I'd say its more because its college football and that Penn State likes to go with a featured back more than it is their line doing anything special. They have had some talented O-lineman through the years but their successful RBs have always been the larger type that can move (Thomas, Ennis, Carter, LJ).

3. From what they were saying that isn't uncharacteristic of JoePa's usual on campus behavior.

Agree.  I think he's actually slower than both Deon Butler and Jordan Norwood.

He is absolutely faster than both of those guys.  He may not be that great of a player but he opens things up for their whole offense.  As far as him gaining too much weight he is down to 170 this season so he could get some of his speed back.  But I am sure that football experts like IGY and FF already knew that.

No where did I say that he was good, I just said he was fast.  He does open up things for the offense.  At this point he probably isn't even a first day pick let alone a first rounder.  That does not negate the fact that he is fast player.

QuoteThe woman acknowledged she had been drinking and that she did not tell Scott to stop when he began to have sex with her. But, she said, she told him before she went to his apartment that she did not wish to engage in sexual relations. She also claimed her later reticence was because she feared for her physical safety and that Scott had struck her in the back with his balled left fist when she awakened to find him attempting to penetrate her with his penis.

QuoteThis is where details of what followed become murky. The woman said she left the bar with him, but she stated upfront and in no uncertain terms that she did not want to have sex with him and "that's not the kind of person I am.''

She testified that Scott asked whether she wanted him to call her a taxi and she said, "Yeah,'' but they continued walking in the direction of Scott's residence until they were in the bedroom of his apartment.

"He turned on the TV" to the Discovery Channel, she said, before Scott excused himself to go to the bathroom. When he returned, she said she removed her shoes and socks and they continued to talk before she became drowsy and fell asleep.

"Something started to wake me up,'' she said. "I was kind of startled . . . he was trying to have sex with me. I started to sit up and that's when I felt him punch me in my back. It was enough to hurt me. It sent me into shock.''

Karoly's line of questioning suggested that the woman wanted Scott's attention, that she had encouraged the sexual contact and that she didn't call campus police until she left the apartment with "buyer's remorse.''

"You were attracted to him, weren't you?'' he asked.

"No.''

"You went right to the bedroom, no questions asked?''

"Yes.''

"As you sit here, you're telling the judge you have no recollection of how your jeans came off?''

"I have no idea.''

"What did you think was going to happen in Austin Scott's bed?''

"I thought we were going to talk and watch TV.''

Karoly said if the woman really did not want to have sex, she would have done or said something to resist when she realized what was going on.

"Did you say no when he began to take your panties off?'' Karoly asked.

"No.''

"Did you ever suggest [to Scott] you weren't enjoying what was happening?''

"I thought my face was a suggestion.''

"Did you do anything to resist his [second] penetration?''

"No, I did not.''

"Did you say, 'I don't want this?' ''

"No.''

"Did you say, 'I don't enjoy this?' ''

"No.''

"Was any of your clothing ripped?''

"No.''

"Not even your panties?''

"No.''

Karoly said the alleged victim's testimony was not credible and that Centre County District Attorney Michael Madeira should "save the time, embarrassment and expense'' of having Marshall continue to prosecute the case.

Marshall, however, countered that "everything that happened after [the punch] was the result of her being afraid'' and that her multiple bruises were consistent with someone who had been sexually assaulted. *

That is pretty "unbelievable".  I agree with FF it seems more like an assault case than it was rape.  I can't believe she said her facial expression was what would have told him no.  Some women make some pretty odd faces when they are having sex. 

If you don't want something to happen just say no.  That makes it clear as it can be, though that some times isn't conclusive.  I don't know the fact he hit her does not bode well for him.  Then again who knows, some women like being beaten during sex and called degrading names.

Here's my take - not guilty of rape.  Saying "no" two hours ago, before you went into his bedroom doesn't count.

Still kicked off the team.  Sorry pal, you need to use better judgment.  No, it isn't fair.  Yes you are being held to a higher standard.  That comes with the free ride to college.

Based on what we know about the situation, I agree.  Plus, I cringed every time Austin Scott got the ball anyway, so I'm glad he's gone.  Evan Royster's the troof.

If you assume everything she's said is true, she wasn't raped.  She was coerced and possibly assaulted, but considering she never said "no" once she got into his apartment by her own admission... not rape.

Recap (http://gopsusports.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/recaps/111007aaa.html)

QuoteThe Nittany Lions (8-3) improved their career record to 33-3-1 against the Owls and a nifty 24-0 under coach Joe Paterno. Temple (3-7) has not beaten Penn State since a 14-0 win on Oct. 18, 1941.

Morelli threw for 260 yards and three TDs and Derrick Williams had seven catches for 104 yards. Penn State had 202 yards rushing to only four yards for Temple.

The game drew a Temple record 69,029 to Lincoln Financial Field and marked only the third time in the five years the Owls have played here that attendance went over the 30,000 mark. Very few came to root for the Owls.

Fans could normally arrive at a Temple game an hour before kickoff and pull into a prime parking spot. The traveling, tailgating Penn State fans started to pack the lots by 8:30 a.m. and traffic snaked around the various streets leading to the sports complex. There was maybe one Temple fan for every 200 Penn State diehards, who all braved the chilly and rainy conditions to drink a few beers and grill their sausage-and-ham breakfast sandwiches.

Now the rumor is that the Alamo doesn't want Michigan, because they just played there a couple of years ago.  PSU is likely to go to the Alamo Bowl either way...

If OSU makes the championship game:
Rose - Illinois
Capital One - Wisconsin
Outback - Michigan
Alamo - PSU
Champs Sports - Michigan State? Indiana? Who cares?

If OSU doesn't make the championship:
Rose - OSU
Capital One - Illinois
Outback - Wisconsin
Alamo - PSU
Champs Sports - Michigan


I guess this means all the Michigan fans should be rooting damn hard for Oklahoma this weekend.

this psu basketball team is not awful this year.  they won't be doing anything in march but they'll have several nice big ten wins this year.  they actually remind me a lot of the sweet 16 team.  claxton is the real deal and that little cracker walker can shoot it.  really fun game to watch last night against VT.

Post by: SunMo on January 07, 2008, 02:24:54 PM
got this from another board, from a poster who is plugged into the program, has been on with other recruitment stuff:

QuoteWalker - Parents wanted him at ND because Weis visited them personally, and called personally. The kid never heard from Paterno at all and really only recruited by McQueary. People think the kid himself preferred PSU since he visited there 5 times in the past 6 or 7 months. The staff had no idea he was going to ND until late on Saturday night. They thought they had him in the bag, but were once again screwed over by Paterno just not wanting to be bothered.

Tate - Staff thinks they are in good shape with him, but IMO at this point, they have no concept of what reality actually is. My guess is he visits, but chooese either Illinois or Maryland in the end.

Pryor - I'll stand by what I said from day 1 that he comes down to PSU or tOSU. I give PSU about a 5% chance. Tressel will get involved with Pryor and correctly point out to him that he's taking the time to personally recruit him, while Paterno is nowhere to be found. I'll be suprised if Paterno even visits him.....he's become that lazy. The only way we get him IMO is if Pryor is give assurances by Spanier that Bradley takes over the program within the next 2 years.

And now this gem..............within the last week, Broderick Green and his parents contacted PSU about transferring in for the spring semester. For those who don't know, Green is the RB from Arkansas that picked USC over PSU last February. McQueary took the request to Joe who said absolutely not.

From SI.com:

Joe Paterno and Penn State are making a last-minute effort to keep high school quarterback Terrelle Pryor in state, and according to Pryor's high school coach, the Nittany Lions are making some progress. Paterno visited Pryor last week, days before national signing day where Pryor will make his decision as to what college he'll attend in the fall. Pryor is scheduled to make his decision known in front of a national television audience on Wednesday at 12 p.m. Many believe the finalists are Ohio State and Michigan.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pryor to decide Wednesday
Monday, February 04, 2008
By Mike White, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Decision day will be at noon Wednesday for Terrelle Pryor.

Pryor, star quarterback at Jeannette High School, said today he is "80 to 90 percent sure" he will announce his choice at a news conference Wednesday. He had been considering pushing back his decision a week or so, and possibly visiting the University of Oregon.

But Pryor said he will not visit Oregon and the Ducks are out of the picture.

"I have to call them today and tell them," Pryor said.

Pryor said he will decide among Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State, although Ohio State and Michigan have been the leaders all along.

Jeannette school officials are also making preparations for the announcement Wednesday in the school gymnasium. Jeannette principal Stu Albaugh said only Pryor's invited guests and media members will be permitted to attend. The public is not welcome.

ESPN and CSTV plan to announce Pryor's decision live. Sports Illustrated and the Washington Post are sending reporters and newspapers from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan also will be represented.

from another board...

QuoteOn the eve of LOI day, here's where we stand.......

Recent decisions:

Marcus Davis - committed to VT over Penn State yesterday.
Corey Lewis - committed to ILL over Penn State yesterday.

Neither (along with Kenny Tate) received a visit from our head coach.

Awaiting decision:

Michael Shaw - Penn State verbal who is hedging and has visited Michigan. As of a week ago, he was still heading to Penn State. Since then, he and his family haven't taken any calls from either the media or coaches. The staff expects to land him tomorrow. Nothing would suprise me, but I think we have a better shot of retaining him than Michigan does prying him away.

D'Anton Lynn - By all accounts, his recruitment is over and he will sign his LOI with Penn State tomorrow.

Terrelle Pryor - Pryor told Mike White from the PPG yesterday that he was 80-90% sure he would sign his LOI tomorrow, and that Oregon was eliminated. Later in the day, he told Bob Lichtenfels from Scout and Mike Farrell from Rivals that he never said that and was 50-50 at best as to whether he was going to make a decision tomorrow. He also said Oregon was still in it.

Obviously someone is getting played here. Lichtenfels is the guy that Pryor has known the longest and he's been pretty close to the situation from day one, so I'd tend to believe him on where Pryor stands. Plus, he's also dialed into western PA better than anyone in the business. Lichtenfels has had multiple posts on the Scout forums in the last few days saying that Penn State is very much in the mix, and a "drastic shift" has occurred in their favor over the course of the last two weeks. My personal speculation (no inside info whatsoever) is that they may have told him Bradley will be named the successor right after LOI day.

The plot thickened a little more this morning when Lichtenfels reported that Pryor called Jay Paterno (ugh) on Sunday night to talk to him in-depth about the offense Penn State planned to feature him in if he would go there (think 2005 spread offense with MRob). This is huge, because if nothing else, it tells us that despite all previous thoughts, he isn't 100% convinced on going to Ohio State.

Will Penn State land him............I still think it's a long shot. All of a sudden though after months of nothing we have seemed to pick up a ton of momentum here and are closing on him strong. From what I've heard, his parents both fully trust and love Tom Bradley more than any other coach recruiting him.......and it's not real close. Bradley has had a 3-year relationship with the kid.

At the very least, there's a lot of smoke and some excitement building. Hopefully it's not a let down.

Post #14790

Latest on Terrelle Pryor....

Terrelle Pryor just called me a few minutes ago and said he's now not signing tomorrow. He said he's 100-percent sure he's not signing. He said he's going to take an official visit to Penn State for sure, hopefully a weekend visit, and might visit Oregon. He said he is just not sure of his choice as of right now.

He has had numerous discussions with his father who really likes the way Penn State has recruited Terrelle. Penn State has been to Terrelle's father's house numerous times and had done a good job making him feel comfortable that PSU is the right place for his son.


So as of now it's OSU, Michigan, PSU and Oregon for his services with no signing date set. He could change his mind again when he wakes up, so I am simply reporting what he's telling me.

Trust me, he is not doing this for the attention, this kid sounds as torn up about a decision as any I've covered. And he is aware of the reputation that some folks are pinning on him and to that he told me he has to do what is right for him and can't worry about public opinion. He and his family come first and this is an important decision that he's not going to rush for anyone.

Good news for PSU fans here no doubt.

if he doesnt committ today then i think penn states chances significantly rise...rrod being a snake oil salesmen really hurt michigan in this...they had a slight lead at one time till all that wva stuff blew up...seems like they are out now

if he doesnt committ today and actually makes a state college visit then i think penn states chances go from about 1% to about 25%

this reminds me a lot of hazelton where the parents love penn state but the kid wants to go elsewhere which is why a visit to state college doesnt mean hes a penn state lean since tp himself has said he doesnt like the area...if only somehow philadelphia could be airlifted to the middle of the state for the weekend

I'd written Walker off weeks ago, though.  There are a lot of great players that PSU doesn't get.  Only difference with Walker is that he had some strong interest at one point.

Still, PSU's recruiting class is very weak if they can't land Pryor.  He would basically salvage some hope.

QuoteMore Problems Emerge For PSU Football Team

There is another suspension for the Penn State football team.

A team spokesman said tight end Andrew Quarless has been suspended indefinitely for an unspecified violation of team rules.

Quarless caught 14 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns in 2007. He was suspended by coach Joe Paterno for the first two games of last season following a citation by university police for underage drinking.

Quarless will be a junior this fall.

His suspension brings the number of Nittany Lions sidelined this offseason following off-the-field issues to six. It's unclear if any of them might be back in good graces when spring practice starts later this month

So I have 3 classes Wednesday at PSU Abington from 3-8:30, they're also in the exact same classroom. For my first class our Professor just had us hand in our midterm papers to another Professor who showed. I stayed in the class to study for my next midterm and got into a football conversation with the Proffessor. He used to teach up at state college in 2003. He told me in 2004 Graham Spanier knocked on JoePa's door asking for him to step down. JoePa said no and since he has so much backing there was really nothing Spanier could do. Come this season, Spanier was upset with how bad PSU's recruiting class was, so he recently knocked on JoePa's door again asking him to step down. JoePa again has refused.

Penn State player arrested
By Michael Hasch
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Wednesday, March 19, 2008

Tyrell Sales, a Penn State football player from Butler, was arrested following a St. Patrick's Day celebration disturbance at a Station Square nightspot.
Sales, 22, a starting outside linebacker, was charged with defiant trespass and disorderly conduct for the incident that Pittsburgh Police said occurred about 8:15 p.m. Saturday at Margarita Mama's. The city's St. Patrick's Day Parade was held earlier in the day.

He was one of six Penn State football players originally charged in connection with a brawl last April at a State College apartment. Charges against four of the players, including Sales, were later withdrawn.

Penn State spokesman Jeff Nelson said Tuesday he was not aware of the arrest and had no comment.

I see him going to Michigan also, because I hate them more than OSU and he'd be scary good in Rodriguez's offense.  Basically, his pedigree is way better than Pat White's ever was.

So, my order of preference would be as follows:
1. PSU
2. Oregon
3. OSU
4. Michigan

And I assume Prior's is more like:
1. Michigan
2. OSU
84. PSU
506. Oregon

Michigan is taking a big risk by hiring Rodriguez and could do long-term damage to their program.  Wisconsin will always be "in the mix" but not top-shelf.

But OSU doesn't appear to be going anywhere at all, so I simply don't see PSU winning more than 1-2 Big Ten titles in the next decade, as a hopeful estimate.  The talent to win a national title just isn't there, either.

The problem is that the Derrick Williams and Justin King class and the post-Orange Bowl class gave us some hope, but it's still not enough.  The choice of the next head coach will be key.  Treading water at 8-9 wins and lower-level bowl games is fine until then.

i agree a big time coach could elevate them to around wisconsin status...but as pathetic as paterno is now you cant forget that he used to be the reason to go to penn state...

where as at michigan and ohio state the schools recruit more than the coaches...penn state as a school isnt much of a recruiting tool and often is a negative as in terrell pryors case

There is still a significant income from the alumni backing and from having one of the largest capacity stadiums in the country.  But again, you and I basically agree that if they don't go big with the next coach, it's game over for quite some time.

You may be right about Michigan but PSU's football history is definately comparible to OSUs.  I agree that the next coach is the key, with the amount of money that is involved in the program it could easily get back to being a consistent top ten team.  I think it is hilarious you compare them to Wisconsin a program that has been on the map for slightly over 15 years.

I didn't say they were a better program historically I said comparible, but whatever.  Wisconsin hasn't been that great over the last 20 years.  15 yes and right now their program is only slightly better than PSUs.  Last time I checked in the last 20 years Wisconsin has never had an undefeated season or been ranked #1 in the last 20 years.

I just don't see how PSU has been off the map for the better part of 20 years try 8.  It is pointless to argue with you, you know everything.

penn state has had some really good years since their last championship...obviously 94 being the best but they have also been under .500 five times since then...four of them being in the last ten years...great programs are never under .500 much less that many times...hence they have fallen off the map since their last title 20 years ago

Paterno's contract situation is getting ugly, which is actually a good sign.  it means the university is done letting him push them around.  it might hurt recruiting for now to just let him finish out the year and walk away, but it would definitely help in the long run.  they should just announce this as his last year and let him get the proper send off he deserves and get a new coach in place for 2009.

If Graham Spanier is smart he'll try to work with Paterno and keep him involved with the football team in some capacity. Paterno has way to much support to just tell him they're not bringing him back.

I hope they go hard after Bill Cowher. People would forget about JoePa real fast.

Penn State Police confirmed today that they have filed charges against Nittany Lions basketball player Stanley Pringle in an incident involving public masturbation that occurred last Thursday in Pattee Library.

Police said Pringle, the team's point guard, sat behind the victim in the stacks section of the library, attempted to start a conversation with the woman and began masturbating. Police have filed charges of public lewdness and disorderly conduct against him in connection to the incident, but Centre County District Judge Jonathan Grine, who is out of the office, was unable to sign the criminal complaint as of 2 p.m. today. Without the signed complaint, Pringle cannot be formally arrested.

Sports Information Director Brian Siegrist confirmed that charges were filed against Pringle yesterday, but denied Pringle's involvement in the masturbation incident. Siegrist said Pringle's status with the basketball team remains unchanged.

A similar incident occurred on March 21 on the second-floor landing of McElwain Hall's main stairwell between 8 and 8:15 p.m, when police said a man entered the building behind the woman and followed her to the stairwell landing where he began to masturbate. A similar description of the man was given in both incidents, police said. No charges have been filed for the McElwain Hall incident.

Bell pulls knife on Still (http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2008/04/08/police_bell_pulls_knife_in_com.aspx)

what a fun program

QuotePat Boland of ESPN Radio 1450 got the police report and this is some of what it said.

• Penn State police responded to an incident at Pollock Dining Hall at 6:28 p.m. Monday.

• Witnesses says former Penn State receiver ("former" according the report) approached current player Devon Still. The report said the two had words over a cell phone cover, and Bell eventually pulled a Good Cook steel knife from one of his sleeves. The knife had an eight inch blade and was 12 inches in length overall. It had a black handle.

• Assistant coaches Mike McQueary, Dick Anderson and Kermitt Buggs quickly intervened to restrain Bell. They took the knife he had been brandishing, and Buggs led Bell out of the room. On the way out, Bell shouted he had more knives and a gun "up here." This is all according to the police report.

• Police arrived and took Bell into custody. He was taken to jail and now faces multiple charges: terroristic threats, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, disorderly conduct and harassment.

• As of this morning, Bell remaining in jail pending the posting of $50,000 bail.

More details to come.

"He knows what he wants to do," Paterno said. "He said he wants to fish. I said, 'Fish? For crying out loud!' You catch three and look at one and they all look the same. ... You think I'm going to go to some guy who sits on his rear and fishes for advice? Joe will do it his way, and I'll do it my way."

Logan-El out at Towson
By Dave Carey
Examiner Staff Writer 8/19/08

TOWSON, MD. – Offensive lineman Antonio Logan-El appears to be taking his show on the road — again. The controversial player from Forestville High School in Prince George's County is no longer part of the football team, Towson coach Gordy Combs confirmed on Monday afternoon.

"He's made a personal decision he is not going to play football anymore and he is going to go to school here," Combs said.

For at least two hours Tuesday night into this morning, Penn State Police investigated a Nittany Apartments residence that, according to an online Penn State directory, is inhabited by multiple football players.

Penn State Police Sgt. Brian Bittner said police were investigating "an incident." He would not comment further.

Police entered apartment 5204 late last night for unknown reasons. According to the directory, defensive end Maurice Evans, cornerback A.J. Wallace and defensive tackle Abe Koroma live in apartment 5204.

It was not immediately clear if any other people live in the apartment.

At least four Penn State Police vehicles were at the scene -- a Special Response Unit, two cruisers and an SUV.

State College Police said Tuesday night they did not know anything about the incident.

Various people milled about the scene around 11 p.m., though the crowd had thinned to about five or six by 1 a.m. this morning.

Many people outside declined comment.

University spokesman Bill Mahon said he did not know anything about the incident when reached by phone late Tuesday night.

Neither Sports Information Director Jeff Nelson nor Football Communications and Branding Director Guido D'Elia could be immediately reached for comment late Tuesday night.

At one point, police took photos inside apartment 5204.

At 1 a.m., police were still inside the apartment. By1:15 a.m., the Special Response Unit had left.

Police would not say what time they initially entered the apartment.

At about 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, a woman taped notebook paper over apartment 5204's number. The curtains were also closed in apartment 5204.

Police were seen carrying a cardboard box with a bag or envelope inside. Police took the box inside apartment 5204.

At about 1:30 a.m. today, four police officers left the apartment, one carrying two paper bags and another carrying a cardboard box.

At least one member of Residence Life was inside the apartment. At about 1:30 a.m., he left with another man, the two of them carrying a speaker, a speaker stand and two duffel bags. They then re-entered the apartment and carried out two more bags and two hard cases.

The Residence Life official declined to comment.

Evans was named a preseason All-American for Penn State and started last week against Coastal Carolina. He recorded two tackles in that game.

Koroma -- another defensive starter -- also had two tackles, while Wallace recorded two tackles playing cornerback and also returned a kickoff for 35 yards last week.

theres a ~1% chance Joe Pa knows they have a game on Saturday.

While in contrast, Temple thinks they have a game Saturday, but it is really just a basketball scrimmage.

got this from another board...

QuoteKoroma and Evans had their lockers cleared out because they refused a drug test (they weren't even at the apartment when this all went down last night)

Wallace offered to be tested, and Quarless eventually consented to it. I'm sure their status is pending results of the drug test.

Maurice Evans might be the best player on the team, and Koroma was basically all that was left of a very thin group of DT's.

Yay.

Penn State defensive tackle Abe Koroma, defensive lineman Maurice Evans and tight end Andrew Quarless will not play Saturday against Oregon State, Joe Paterno said on the Nittany Lion Hotline tonight, adding cornerback Willie Harriott has been removed from the team.

Police said they found on Tuesday a small amount of marijuana at a Nittany Apartments residence, whose most current residents are Quarless, Evans, Koroma and cornerback A.J. Wallace, according to a search warrant. No charges have been filed in the incident. Police have said they are still trying to determine who had possession of the marijuana.

Asked if the three players are being held out because of the Tuesday's incident, Penn State sports information director Jeff Nelson replied, "I'm not aware of any other reason."

Wallace will play this weekend, Paterno said.

"Wallace was really not part of that situation," Paterno said, referencing the Tuesday incident.

Nelson said Harriott was removed for a "violation of team rules."

No, they did not.

Josh Gaines and Ollie Ogbu are basically the only defensive linemen left.  It's kind of a shame, because the team has the potential to be really good.

That said, OSU is clearly 2nd-tier at best, and no one else in the Big Ten is lighting it on fire... so there is still a BCS bowl possibility.  But it would sure be easier with Koroma, Evans, Taylor, and Baker on that D-Line.

Odrick is OK, sure.  They just have very little depth, and assuming Beanie Wells is back for OSU, that looks to be a difficult road game.  Wisconsin, also, could try to pound it down our throats.

Nope, and I sent an email to the BTN and here's what they sent me back:
QuoteThank you for your email regarding Verizon FiOS and the Big Ten
Network.  The Big Ten Network makes all games available to Verizon,
however, Verizon is unable to carry more than one game at a time
during weeks in which the network airs multiple games simultaneously.
Verizon may select which game it will offer and that particular game
will then be delivered to all Verizon customers nationwide (the game
Verizon chooses may not necessarily be the Big Ten Network's "main"
game).  In this case, they selected the Purdue-Central Michigan game.
Please contact Verizon directly if you have further questions
regarding the game selection.

I also called FIOS - which by the way has worst customer support than Comcast - and they said they've been getting calls all afternoon about it but had no idea what was going on. So basically Verizon had their thumbs up their asses again.

Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')

Yes, because Penn State has had so much difficulty scoring this year.


If PSU loses, it will be bigger.  23-20, 28-24, etc.  OSU will not win this game with less than 20 points.

How, exactly?  It seems to me that they didn't turn the ball over once, didn't get penalized once, and generally outplayed the Buckeyes by roughly a TD.  If they also got lucky, they would have won by more than 7.

Unfortunately I didn't get to see this game or Game 3, I got to sleep on a muddy floor and get my face bit off by mosquitos.  Still it was probably worth it to know they finally beat OSU in Columbus for the first time since joining the Big 10.  It is crazy to think that if they win 3 more games they have a legitimate shot at playing for the National Title.  Iowa and MSU won't be gimmes though.

If Alabama is undefeated and barely loses the SEC title to Florida, it would be awesome to see a rematch.

But at least PSU gets the Rose Bowl and a "share" of the Big Ten title if they win out.  I didn't think this team would win against superior competition in the title game anyway.

Like I said, though... winning out is not a gimme.

What a coaching joke.  Andy-farging-Reid quality.

Going for 1 when they were up 22 - 14?
No time outs after Iowa crosses the 50 with more than 1 minute left?

farging joke.  The only reason I'm not calling for Joe's head is that it won't make a difference.  He wasn't coaching tonight anyway.

It was absolutely the right call.  Iowa's offense hadn't exactly been a juggernaut, and the XP makes it a two-score game.

It's easy to say after they lost 24-23 that they should have gone for two, but it would have been stupid.

It was nice while it lasted.  I agree with the not using using the timeouts, I was watching that in total disbelief.  Not that it would have mattered though Clark was zesty as hell in that game.  They had plenty of opportunities in that game but like the Eagles they just gave them away.  A Rose Bowl berth would be nice.

I'll take it.  Derrick Williams as the player of the game is a joke, considering his two key drops.  But I guess his end-around was fresh in the minds of the guys picking.  Plus, PSU really didn't have any one person step up.  Still, I would have given it to Butler, seeing as he caught a TD and also broke the all-time PSU receptions record.

Anyway...

and penn state is in the rose bowl. you should be happy that a team that isnt all that good only had 1 slip up, and barely, this year. but no, youre not. youre complaining and putting them down because godforbid a team with an 88 year old head coach didnt win the national championship.

they had a great year, you should enjoy it...if thats possible.

and if you knew anything about the changing tides of a sports season and that the expectations that you have before the season starts are not necessarily the same as you have with two games left in the season you would understand why anyone who is happy with this penn state season is an idiot


the TT loss even excentuates the horribleness of the iowa loss...if youre a penn state and happy today then youre a blubbering farging idiot

Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on November 23, 2008, 06:26:55 AM
Based on the loss at Iowa and how long they kept Indiana in the game, I am indeed pretty happy with heading to the Rose Bowl, likely against a team (Oregon State) that the Nitts have already creamed.

A national title would have been phenomenal, but winning a Rose Bowl is much better than losing a National Championship game.  Yes, you have to get there to win, but you of all people probably would have bet on Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, USC, Ohio State, or Temple to beat Penn State anyway, so don't tell me how to feel, assface.

The Rose Bowl is just fine with me, and you are the blubbery farging idiot.  Idiot.

You are an idiot if you are not happy with this season.  Even if they went undefeated what are the odds they actually win the National Title game? Probably not that good.  If they win the Rose Bowl it is a tremendous season.

Unless you expected Penn State to go undefeated and win a NC this season - I didn't - then I don't see how you could be disappointed with a Big Ten Championship, Rose Bowl, and beating Ohio State in Ohio. And say what you want about Ohio State they've got some big time talent.

There is absolutely no correlation, up until about 9 years ago if PSU was not in the hunt for a national title it was a disappointing season.  Things have changed a little, I don't think that is realistic as long as Joe Pa is still running the show.  This is a very good season for PSU, does it suck they lost to Iowa and Texas Tech lost yesterday, hell yes.  But why sit here and get all pissy about it.

I am lot of things bro, but a defeatist is not one them.  Am I disappointed farg yeah, but to act like it was not a successful season is crazy.  And the way the BCS is there is no guarantee that they would have made the title game even if they beat Iowa.

I don't blame him.  When Clark got the extra year of eligibility, it kind of farged Devlin.

That said, I would usually say that PSU will need to get a blue-chipper this off-season to replace Clark.  But, Morelli was a blue-chipper, and Robinson and Clark were not.  So, whatever.

Evans is desperate.  He was much better in 2007 than 2008.

Maybin will be missed and will be mediocre in the NFL unless used as a rusher in the 3-4.

Indeed he did.

Nicest kid in the world too, pretty humble guy. And one hell of a WR.

Our starting WR my senior year was about 6'2 and a junior, very fast, pretty good hands, and we made it to the championship game...Justin was a freshman...and after the freshman season ended, he came up and started pushing for play time immediately, got a good amount of snaps during the playoff games and such. I went back to watch some games after I graduated, including the championship game the next year....he's just a freak. Caught a 30 yard TD pass in the corner of the endzone in the championship game in pouring rain and strong winds. Our offense was very very VERY run heavy (We had the state's leading rusher my soph-senior seasons, if I remember correctly), and yet he still drew all the attention he did. So good for him.

I am a small bit suprised he chose PSU over Rutgers, if only because he was pretty good friends with the Treml twins who chose to go to Rutgers. In Delaware football talk that no one will really care about, The Treml twins graduated from the same high school as a kid who got a scholarship at Syracuse as a RB....Darrell Smith. Dude was huge. Ran me the farg over in our playoff game against them.

That makes 3 PSU players from Delaware now....I don't follow PSU that closely, FF, but do you know if Sczcerba is going to get any PT at tight end this year? I know he's been playing special teams, don't know what the TE situation is up there. I know Devon Still has been injury prone (Torn ACL and broken ankle in back to back seasons), but apparently has impressed the coaches enough to compete for some play time this year. Dude's farging huge, 6'5 300+.

JoePa has a habit of changing his rotation and changing guys' positions unexpectedly.  However it might appear Sczerba (sp?) would fit into the mix, it could easily change between now and April (Blue/White game), and April and August.

Oh yeah I completely forgot about Lattimore. I hadn't really heard anything about him since he graduated. What posistion is he playing at PSU?


And yeah Brown did a pretty nice job at safety, but PSU just graduated their top 3 WR's...I don't think they plan on switching him anytime soon.

I just read they still have two senior TE's, so I don't know how much Szczerba's going to play TE....But at 6'6, you figure he's gotta get in there some time.

QuotePat Devlin: UD hopes Penn State's loss is a huge gain

By KEVIN TRESOLINI
The News Journal

NEWARK -- Pat Devlin just wanted to play. At Penn State, that might not have happened for another year.

That, Devlin felt, was too late.

At the University of Delaware, it should happen immediately -- much to the benefit, he hopes, of the Blue Hens.

In some of his first public comments since his transfer, known since December but finally announced by Delaware on Wednesday, Devlin said he wasn't willing to bide his time at Penn State anymore.

As a sophomore last season, the 6-foot-4, 222-pound Devlin backed up Daryll Clark, a junior. Devlin completed 25 of 47 passes (53.2 percent) for 459 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions. Most notably, he spearheaded a 13-6 win at Ohio State Oct. 25 in relief of the injured Clark that ultimately clinched Penn State's spot in the Rose Bowl.

With the same situation looming in 2009, Devlin sought a better opportunity and looked first -- and only -- at Delaware, an hour from his Downingtown, Pa., home and with a track record as a proving ground frustrated I-A quarterbacks.

"It got to a point where I haven't played in three years," Devlin said Wednesday. "And maybe just playing one year, you might have to knock the rust off the first half of the year playing.

"I wanted to go to a place where I felt I'd be put in a better situation."

He'll have two years of eligibility beginning this fall at Delaware, which didn't get the polished quarterback play it was used to from junior Robby Schoenhoft, an Ohio State transfer, nor redshirt freshman Lou Ritacco last fall. That was just one of the problems that befell the Blue Hens in a 4-8 season, the losingest in school history. Neither Schoenhoft nor Ritacco is returning.

Since K.C. Keeler became UD coach in 2002, he had Andy Hall (Georgia Tech), Sonny Riccio (Missouri) and Joe Flacco (Pittsburgh) spend two years as the starting quarterback after transferring.

Hall sparked Delaware to the 2003 NCAA Division I-AA title and was drafted by the Eagles. Flacco's play keyed UD's run to the 2007 title game, which it lost to Appalachian State. He was a first-round draft pick and rookie sensation as a starter with the Ravens.

"Pat is probably the most proven quarterback we've brought in in terms of, he's had playing time," Keeler said. "Obviously a great pedigree in terms of his high school program, great recruiting base in terms of who recruited him and he actually did play in Big Ten ballgames. So we feel very fortunate."

At Downingtown East High, Devlin set a Pennsylvania high school record by throwing for 8,162 career yards. He committed to Miami (Fla.) before reconsidering after coaching staff changes and signed with Penn State.

Devlin informed Penn State of his decision to transfer before the Rose Bowl and immediately left the team. Knowing Delaware's football tradition and quarterback history, it was an easy first place to look. But it was the idyllic setting and UD's academic prowess that helped convince him to look no further, said Devlin, a finance major.

"The mix of academics and athletics is very good," said Devlin, whose visit included a close look at UD's Excelon Trading Center. "I met Dr. [Robert] Schweitzer [professor in business and economics] and it just blew me away learning about the banks in the state and the opportunities in the area."

The opportunity in football attracted him here in the first place though, and Flacco's success, Devlin said, "was inspiring more than anything else." He could see the good that came from Flacco's drop down to I-AA and felt he could benefit, too.

"The thing you understand about Pat is, you're getting a leader. You're getting a guy who wants to be challenged. You're getting a guy who ... he's born to do this," Keeler said.

Devlin has worked some with Delaware receivers, who like what they see.

"My initial impression was, he has a good arm," Mark Duncan said. "He has such a smooth release, it looks like he's throwing the ball effortlessly. But when you catch it, it gets there fast. He's very accurate."

Spring practice begins March 20.

"I can't wait," Devlin said. "I'm so excited to throw the ball around a little."

Actually the Big Ten's conference RPI is second behind only the ACC.

http://realtimerpi.com/rpi_conf_Men.html

I still think the league is crap for the most part, but it is the third best conference in terms of quality of teams behind the ACC and Big East (though that may be an indictment about how down the SEC/Pac Ten are).

All the talent seems to be focused within the Big East and ACC this year.

The Big 10 is probably fourth, if I had to guess.  I think the top of the Big XII, OK/KU/Mizzou is better than the top of the Big Ten, so I'd give them the slight edge, but the Pac10 and SEC are way down this year.  The Big Ten (and I can't believe I'm defending this conference) is probably better than both of those conferences right now.

I actually think the MWC is pretty good this year.  BYU/Utah/UNLV are all pretty good teams.

Post by: ice grillin you on April 03, 2009, 09:29:08 AM
they will never be a top team in the conf...only reason they were even as good as they were this year is because the conference was a tragedy and specifically indiana is so down now...but tom creen has been recruting ridiculous and they will soon bump penn state back..wisky also had a down year...purdue and michigan should always be better...obviously michigan state...

best they can hope for is to run middle of the pack and make another nit run...but really their goal tho should be to not completely suck in the conf.

It sounds like they may have lost DB Givens before his career even started.  He has not met the academic requirements to get into school.  He is now eligible to sign with any school. 

Supposedly Joe Pa is trying to have a meeting with Spanier this evening to see if they can work something out so the kid can stay.  If not he has Florida, South Carolina, UNC, Rutgers and a few others that he may now attend. 

I was listening to a local podcast of Royer yesterday he said PSU is going to get a few more major commitments that should put the class over the top.  He said he could not disclose who the players were. 
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: Seabiscuit36 on July 31, 2009, 02:07:09 PM
Rumor is Givens was told to take a class, he got an A, but they didnt communicate he had to take another course, and he didnt meet eligibility requirements.  Funny he cant get into PSU, but Miami and a whole group of other schools are all over him.

Post by: ice grillin you on July 31, 2009, 02:15:20 PM
yet another reason why penn state will never run with the big boys again...you have to let anyone and everyone in these days and cheat to be with the elite of college football

the worst part of this is you lose an absolute stud from the dc region and even tho penn state did nothing wrong they will still be talked about in a negative light...same way maryland was hurt big time by the derrick williams fiasco

Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: Drunkmasterflex on July 31, 2009, 02:55:33 PM
What will save them in that area is LJ, he has that area locked.  If it wasn't for the fact that they have such a good crop of incoming players for 2010 I would agree, but most kids are going to see that and not care about 1 player. 

I don't know if I agree about them not being able to run with the big boys again either.  They definitely are taking guys that 10-15 years ago they wouldn't have even considered.  What you say might end up being true.  Though their tradition, their stadium, and the amount of money in that program will go a long way. 
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: ice grillin you on July 31, 2009, 03:01:23 PM
if they took anyone theyd still have a hard time being in the elite just because the south and west have so many more players than the east and north and 95% of those players dont even know where penn state is....thats why when they get great players like a givens that pretty much any school in the country would want they have to take them no matter what

they will always be in the top 20 because they are one of the better teams in a terrible conference but unless paternos replacement is some incredible big name coach thats willing to and allowed to do ANYTHING it takes they will never be more than a team that has a chance to win the big ten every few years

what an atrocious series of play calls

2 and 15 from the one foot line you play safe by running the fb off tackle

then on 3rd and 15 you throw the ball??

and get a safety

Post by: Seabiscuit36 on September 26, 2009, 09:43:28 PM
that running into the kicker was a horrible horrible call.  I understand the idea of the call, but the blocker was blocked into the ground, and the kicker barely touched him.  shtein the PSU player tried to make himself smaller if thats even possible.  They ended up not scoring, after a zesty kick, but that could have easily been 3 or 7 on the board for PSU.

Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: Seabiscuit36 on January 13, 2010, 12:00:43 PM
Someone posted this on BWI with regards to the Coxson situation and I actually believe it. If this is the case, then good riddance.

"Okay here's the deal. I very rarely have any inside info regarding PSU football, but I am close with two guys that came out of my area in the last 4 years, one recruit and one senior on the team, and I happened to bump into one of them today and asked them about this situation.The only reason I am posting anything is because one of the posters in this thread got very close to guessing what occured in this situation.

What I was told was when Coxson was wavering from his PSU commitment he engaged in some behavior that could have been very detrimental to the program and their recruiting effort this year. Simultaneously he was telling everyone that was listening that he was definitely going to PSU and he was actually trying to convince an uncommited recruit to attend PSU. This raised some issues with the staff regarding Adrian's character and really pissed off the big guy. The guy on the staff who had the best relationship with Coxson tried to salvage the situation, but he received confirmation from one of the incoming recruits that AC had tried to sway him away from his commitment and to a school coached by a snake-oil salesman with heart issues.

The staff never formally rescinded his scholarship offer, but the member of the staff who supported him the most confronted AC with this information and was not satisfied with AC's response. This combined with the kid's apparent obsession with early playing time and the big guy's reservations led the staff to tell AC "thanks but no thanks." That is all I have. TIFWIW."

dunno if this is true or not but...

QuoteMajor FYI here for PSU fans.....................

If you are a season ticket holder and generally pay for parking when you get to the games, there has been a MAJOR parking increase this year. They have doubled it from $20 last year to $40 this year, and remarkably haven't said word one about this increase publicly.

Here's what you need to do..............if you are local, go to the athletic department offices (not the ticket offices) at the Bryce Jordan Center and you can buy any game for just $10. We bought the whole season yesterday for $70, which obviously is less than what they will be charging on gameday for 2 games. I'm sure you can call as well, pay by credit card, and they can send you the passes.

not so sure about this, you're going to have people from all over coming to this game, from the regulars that fill up beaver stadium to people like me in dc who don't make it up for many games.

Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')

They did mention the possibility of Newsome changing positions.  Grosz was saying Bolden is the best athlete and has the best mechanics for what they want to do offensively. 
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: Seabiscuit36 on August 25, 2010, 09:09:03 PM
All in all this is a great position for them to be in as far as talent to get the job.  I cant remember anytime recently where they had so many QB's going for the job legitimately
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: ice grillin you on August 26, 2010, 07:09:07 AM
they have two....jones and bolden...and theres a good chance jones transfers

if this is there golden era for qb's its only because the position has been so bad for them

in truth they have done fairly well at the position for a team with a prehistoric offense who normally has weak skill position players...they seem to get the right fit more often than not...they just never have a really good qb
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: Drunkmasterflex on August 26, 2010, 01:16:11 PM
I wonder if that doesn't have more to do with how they develop them?  They have gotten some very good QB recruits throughout the years.  I have a feeling the beginning of the season will be a 2 qb system with McGloin and Bolden.   :puke I always hate when teams do that.

Morelli was a top 5 QB prospect.  Mills and Wasserman were both top 10.  I believe Kerry Collins was a top recruit.  Rashard Casey was even pretty highly touted coming in.

The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way — because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs. This goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trading, the owner — the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid.

I was surprised how well PSUs oline played tonight wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.  What bothered me was the fact the defense was not tackling.  Overall this has to be the least disappointing loss in recent memory.  What impressed me with Bolden was he is playing the #1 team in the country in one of the toughest stadiums and he didn't get rattled even when he made some bad plays. 

What the hell has happened to Zug he was one of the most sure handed WRs they had until the end of last season now he just sucks.

Temple just needed to get a smart and intelligent QB like a Pat Devlin when he left. Instead they got an athlete who should be playing receiver out there.

Fans play race card, spoil day at PSU
By Eric Heyl
PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Sunday, November 14, 2010


It didn't take long for Happy Valley to turn miserable for Linda and Bobby Baker.

The Greensburg couple attended the Penn State-Michigan football game Oct. 30 and displayed colors that got them harassed by unruly fans of the home team.

It wasn't just the fact that the Bakers were sporting the blue and maize of the Michigan Wolverines that upset some Nittany Lions supporters. It was the fact that Linda Baker is white and Bobby Baker is black.

"We were prepared for the usual high-spirited fun that goes along with being fans of the opposing team," Linda Baker said. "We weren't prepared for the verbal assaults that were rude, degrading and demeaning."

Linda Baker, 45, an Irwin native, met her husband while both served in the Marines. They moved back to the area in May from Ohio to help care for Linda Baker's ailing parents.

The couple spent $500 on two tickets on the 40-yard line they found online. That's a lot of money to spend on a football game, but Bobby Baker, 44, grew up a huge Wolverines fan in Michigan so he and Linda decided to splurge.

In retrospect, the decision was a costly mistake.

They sat in a section with many older alumni, several of whom conducted themselves as though they were attempting to relive their drunken frat boy days. The Bakers were cursed at, and Linda Baker said the man directly behind her kept hitting her in the back of the head with a pom-pom.

That annoying situation deteriorated further when Bobby Baker left to find a restroom and his wife was subjected to berating racial epithets.

"I was called a (N-word) lover, a Michigan (N-word)-loving (expletive)," Baker said. "Someone asked, 'Since when do they allow (N-word)-lovers in our stadium?' "

Bobby Baker, meanwhile, got into a verbal altercation with a white fan who attempted to block his entrance into the restroom.

The climate was so hostile that the Bakers ended up leaving the game early, enduring more racially tinged taunts and insults as they exited the stadium.

To its credit, Penn State reached out to the Bakers after Linda Baker wrote university officials a letter describing the experience.

Baker said she received conciliatory phone calls Friday from Penn State broadcaster Steve Jones and from Joe Paterno's administrative assistant, who promised the legendary football coach soon will be in touch.

"We wanted to get back to (the Bakers) as quickly as possible to make sure they knew we were aware of the situation," Penn State associate athletic director Greg Myford said. "There's a small city here on Saturdays, so regrettably there are going to be occasional incidents -- not just at Beaver Stadium, but at lots of stadiums."

For Linda Baker, the incident represents more than just a ruined football game.

"My husband and I were Marines who lived all over the country and all over the world without experiencing anything like this," she said. "It deeply saddens me that when I experienced blatant discrimination for the first time, it happened right here."

Is she still angry?

"I'm embarrassed," she said. "I'm embarrassed that people from my home state are still so ignorant."

Right now.  Temple has 9 points, PSU has 0.

Northwestern is essentially ranked #26 with 99 points, and Michigan is checking in with 4... Two teams the Nitts beat.  In fact, the only game PSU lost that they probably should have won was Illinois (37 points), so it's a bit confusing that they get no votes.  But since they suck, I don't really care.

Oh, and Delaware is checking in with 1 point.

QuoteThe Hoosiers were technically the home team, having agreed to move the game for a $3 million payout, but Penn State recruits heavily in the region and has about 42,000 alumni living in the Washington, D.C., area. Nittany Lions white outnumbered Indiana red by about 3-to-1 among the fans at FedEx Field, home of the NFL's Washington taterskins.

Post by: SunMo on December 22, 2010, 09:58:12 AM
from another board:

JoePa rumors, TIFWIW

It's almost certain that the Outback Bowl will be Joe's last game. He has some major health issues including... (I omitted this info because I don't want to cause alarm). He is not in good shape, sorry to say, and plans are in motion behind the scenes including several private jets filled with Paterno family members flying to the bowl game since it will be his last. The assistants have been told that Joe's successor will be hired from outside the staff which is why Bradley, Big Red, Vandy and everyone else is looking around at other positions. Bradley and Vandy both interviewed with Temple in recent days and Big Red will likely follow Bradley to whatever job he lands. Golden called PSU before taking the Miami job and PSU told him our next hire will be from outside PSU. Leading candidates seem to be Tony Dungy, Chris Petersen (Boise), Dan Mullen (Miss State, former OC at Florida under Meyer and native of Philadelphia/Ursinus/PSU grad father) but there are names flying everywhere and there seems to be a great deal more interest in PSU than there was for Miami, Michigan, etc. Some insiders seem to like the idea of Dungy coming in for 5-7 years and restoring PSU to the top tier, then Golden coming back to lead the program long term after he gets more experience on the bigger stage that Miami has to offer.

Apparently this all came to a head at the senior banquet. Tons of players tweeted crap about how out of it he was.....said it was going to be great to play in a "Thanksgiving Day Bowl"....someone in admin. Reached out to every living captain that played for him and asked them to write a letter to Joe, which was presented to him in a book. It was weird, because no one knew or thought anything was officially decided, but it was clear it was kind of like a send off. Anyway, he gets the book and is fine speaking for a couple of minutes, then tails off into nonsense and nobody can figure out what he's talking about....he finished up by saying "I gotta go beat my old friend Spurrier in the bowl game"....walks off the stage, and walks out of the room.

Also I hope the rumors are true and that they are going outside the program.  The only guy I would like to see from the current staff get the job is LJ.

plus they definitely need an offensive minded coach....i know they somewhat advanced out of the dark ages when galen hall came on board but they still need to forever drop their three yards and a cloud of dust reputation...they need an innovative progressive offensive mind that will attract real athletes and make penn state a place where talent wants to go....mike leach would have been perfect

No way PSU would hire Leach.  Peterson or Mullen would be great.  And who knows with LJ he hasn't even been a coordinator.  I like him purely from a recruiting standpoint, though Ron Zook is a great recruiter too.

i think the notion that lj is a great recruiter is way overblown

he might be the only good recruiter on the staff but where is his greatness in recruiting.....cause he got a few guys from md where he is a legend?...i think hes a nice piece to have on a coaching staff but i dont see him being a great recruiter from the head coaching position of a big time college program

I meant if Golden was still available and they do go through a coaching change. 

Where is the greatness in recruiting? The fact they were a down and out program and for the most part over the last 5-6 years have had top 25 classes.  If you can get a kid to come there when the HC has one foot in the grave you are doing something right.

Quote"I'm being selfish when I say I hate to see guys like [Urban Meyer] leave the game.  To me, I'm different than Urban. I've got people calling up saying: 'When the hell are you getting out?' "

When laughter in the room subsided, Paterno continued.

Its not that its because of the uncertainty surrounding the position, when was the last time that Tom Bradley's name was mentioned for HC jobs outside of the program.  Supposedly he was considered at Pitt and interviewed at Temple.

that is one of the most backwards, awful things ive ever heard in my entire life. you are the only person on earth who wants to revert back to old, broken system that rarely if ever actually awarded the national title to the correct team.

i cant believe that. so you dont even auburn and oregon playing. oregon should play wisconsin in the rose bowl and auburn should play whoever in the sugar bowl. tcu would not even be in a real bowl because they arent in a power conference. if everyone wins its up to coaches who dont watch the games and crusty old sports writers to determine who is better.

you are the only person who thinks like this. in the world. taking stupid meaningless arguments about who was better in 1994 over, you know, them actually playing.

in fact the bcs makes college football worse..it prevents good teams from playing each other not only in the playoffs but in non conference since quality wins and location of those wins means nothing

and i remember who won national title games...but cinderellas are what college sports are all about.

I have to agree with MDS they will probably go after a big time coach.  I think the graduation rate thing is way overblown.  The only reason Joe Pa wasn't ran out is because he is the reason PSU is what it is today.  There is way too much money tied into that program for them to hire some scab.  I don't think it is a coincidence that Bradley's name was mentioned for other vacancies.

no they dont, unless its in conference and unless its usc

florida hasnt played a non conference games outside the state in a decade
sec teams routinely load up with 2 AA teams in non conference
penn state rarely if ever challenges itself outside of the big 10 and on top of that the big 10 blows

there is no incentive to play difficult non conference games, and with this 12+ team leagues often times the good teams dont play each other every season unless its a rivalry like osy/michigan or bama/auburn

everyones season boils down to 2-3 games and avoiding an upset on other weeks

if you have an 8 or 16 team tourney and offer home field to the top seed until the title game, id say that will be a pretty good reason to keep playing. 11 auto bids + 5 at larges. dont think that will dilute the product that much.

Quoteyou wanna be in the title hunt in cfb?

well tcu didnt lose any games and they are playing a boring big 10 team in the rose bowl

auburn didnt lose any games in 04 and they got jack shtein

boise and tcu didnt lose any games last year and they played each other in the reject fiesta bowl

the whole thing is a farce and you know it

Quotecbb plays a totally meaningless and worthless four months of games and then has a tournament to decide it all...and thats fine....but i much prefer cfb's system to cbb's

in a way, yes and in a way no

generally you need to have a top 3 seed in cbb to win a title...so if you check out during the regular season or wait until the conference tourney to turn it on you can still get in but your path will be much too hard to overcome. for teams that arent exactly title contenders, simply getting into the party is good enough. and being one of 64 alive out of 310 teams >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> being one of 72 alive out of 110 teams. i.e. making the san diego credit country ponsiednta bullshtein bowl means dick while someone being a 15 seed or 16 seed is actually pretty cool.

if you honestly dont want to see something like 8 seed boise @ 1 seed auburn and 2 seed oregon vs. 7 seed ohio state then i dont know what to tell you.

if tcu is your argument for a cfb tourney and to destroy the reg. season greatness that exists today then you better come up with a new one

if theres a year with three truly deserving undefeated teams then you have an argument in what you are saying...i might even agree to an and one in years like that...but a cfb tourney would be about as dumb as it gets...the cfb tourney already exists...its called the regular season

I hate two-QB systems, so I like that they were decisive about the move to McGloin when he showed the ability and willingness to push the ball downfield.  It's just obvious that he's either uncoachable or that they did an awful job of coaching him on his tendencies to telegraph throws and throw into coverage instead of avoiding the big mistakes.

It's a knee-jerk decision for Bolden to want to transfer after the game, unless the coaching staff made it clear that it was McGloin's job to lose in 2011.  THEN, I have a huge problem with it.  Because while Bolden clearly wasn't ready this year, they should have been verbally fellating him at every opportunity and letting him know he was the future, whether Matty Non-Ice had eligibility left or not.

I guess I'm glad that they still have Paul Jones.  But this is a step back for the program losing a guy as talented as Rob Bolden.  What else is new, though?

Post by: ice grillin you on January 03, 2011, 01:47:34 PM
mccgloin absolutely sucks....going to a talentless walk on when you had three other potenttial stud qb's was unbelievably stupid....if they went with bolden and newsome transferred then fine...you can defend alienating a four star qb by going with a younger four star qb...but you dont risk losing top prospects to go with a pos like mccgloin...and because they did they got burned by losing two top recruits
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: Drunkmasterflex on January 03, 2011, 02:10:09 PM
Losing Newsome makes no difference to me, losing Bolden is just bad though.  McGloin has good games against some of the worst defenses in CFB, looks like we might as well get used to him being the QB for at least next season.  Hopefully after that Joe Pa is gone. 
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on January 03, 2011, 02:15:35 PM
Newsome had opportunities and generally looked bad.  McGloin obviously does suck, but Bolden was not ready to play this year, so McGloin probably did give them a slightly better chance of winning for a brief stint there.

Really would have preferred Bolden didn't go, but it sounds like it's a done deal.  So, at least they have Jones who will be two years behind Matt McInterception in eligibility.  Hopefully they either give Jones an opportunity to win the job.  Because holy shtein is McGloin an infuriating and untalented piece of shtein.  The nicest thing I can say about him is that I wouldn't rather have Zack Mills.

Post by: ice grillin you on January 03, 2011, 02:19:39 PM
it would be a much worse situation if joe wasnt a short timer but still its never a good thing when multiple top recruits at the qb position are bailing because someone like mccgloin got chosen ahead of them...and they arent just bailing but they are publically speaking out against the coaching staff...its bad enough that their coach is senile and half dead but now opposing schools have even more ammo to recruit against penn state...all joe is doing now is making the hole for the next coach that much deeper and ensuring that penn state will be in the shteinter for that many more years after he leaves
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: Drunkmasterflex on January 03, 2011, 02:22:32 PM
And that is the major issue, if he left today I think they would be able to recover quickly.  But they can't afford back to back zesty recruiting classes.  I actually don't hold Joe Pa responsible of for this.  He is a senile old man, the University should step in and do something about it.

Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on January 03, 2011, 02:27:33 PM
You're overblowing that aspect.  The top schools always get more quarterbacks than they can use, and some (hopefully the lesser ones and not the better ones) will transfer.  Frankly, I think it's on Bolden and his daddy that they made this decision at this time, putting so much weight on the bowl game.  He was simply not ready to play this year and should have been redshirted but got an opportunity because Newsome wasn't stepping up as a dual threat (really not much of a passer) and McGloin is a low ceiling guy.  But Bolden was playing like a guy who really needed some more time to prepare off the field, so he got benched as much for his own good as for the team's.

Again, I think I've made it pretty clear that I hate McGloin and that his performance in the Outback Bowl was one of the worst I've ever seen by any quarterback.  I just think you're overblowing the long-term damage to the program from a guy transferring.  It happens.  Say all the nice things you want about Bolden, but he was not very good this year at all.  If he came in and played more like Terrelle Pryor than Wally Richardson, I might think this is the coaching staff's fault.  And Pryor wasn't even that great as a freshman, but way better than Bolden.

They made it to the ACC title game and beat a legitimate SEC team in a bowl game.  I can't imagine anyone expected anything better from FSU than they got this year.  Not a bad season for a 1st year head coach.

Would Joe quitting ASAP be better for the team?  Probably.  But does Bolden transferring strengthen that argument significantly?  Not really.

now imagine the field day people are having with paterno then pile on this qb debacle and youll see some devatstaingly bad classes coming into penn state over the next few years...especially at the qb position....they arent gonna get shtein there until paterno leaves and probably not even then...unless they make a super hire of some kind...you cant underestimate how bad it is for top players to transfer from a school because of the coaches....especially at a school like penn state that struggles to get top tier athletes at the qb position to begin with...thats why this hurts even more...darryl clark finally attracted some of these guys to the school...and in one unbelievably stupid decision the staff has erased all that good karma

Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on January 04, 2011, 03:38:55 PM
Jones was generally regarded as the #2 best QB in last year's recruiting class.  Bolden was around 8th.  We all assumed that Bolden was better because he wasn't redshirted, but it seems more like Jones was redshirted for purely academic reasons.  He's gained 20 pounds of muscle and is ready to roll in 2011.

Yes, I'm a homer, but all of that is true.  Still would prefer Jones and Bolden compete for the job and McGloin gets relegated to either 3rd string or hell, but what do I know?
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: ice grillin you on January 04, 2011, 03:46:42 PM
no one assumed bolden was better...jones was the better recruit...but it was a negligible difference and doesnt at all change the fact that it would be a terrible thing to lose a bolden and newsome within a weeks time

college qb's massive fail all the time...especially under penn state tutelege...so the more you have the better chances you will end up with a good one

morelli was a five star guy btw

Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on January 04, 2011, 03:50:45 PM
Yeah, but Joe doesn't usually open up the competition much.  He will probably stubbornly have McGloin penciled in as the starter unless Jones and/or Bolden repeatedly offer to shine his shoes between now and August.

That single 4-star commitment "vaulted" them from 7th in the Big Ten to 4th in recruiting for this year (or from 8th to 5th if you include Nebraska).

Per Rivals, they now have the #35 recruiting class in the country, which is a hell of an improvement from where they were about a month ago but still not going to cut it if they want any hope of making up ground on Ohio State.

QuoteBattle, a four-year starting guard, had three assists to become the first player in conference history to reach 2,000 career points, 500 rebounds and 500 assists. He now has 2,079 points, 594 rebounds and 500 assists.

Not bad. Now all they need are some minor miracles and they can get to the tourney.

thats a killer penalty

mccarron is awful and should keep penn state in the game....its really up to him as to how this game goes....because i would bet almost anything penn state doesnt have another scoring drive of over 25 yards in this game

mccarron good = bama blowout
mccaron bad with no TO = bama low scoring close win
mccaron bad with TO's = penn state huge upset

I'm not saying Bolden is great but Mcgloin sucks and shouldn't be on the field. QBs need reps to get rhythm. Not saying PSU wins the game but maybe they keep it close. The two turnovers were crucial.

tody was men vs boys....the talent gap btwn the two teams wouldnt allow it to stay close

agree on the qb's why the farg are they splitting time....the thing with bolden is that he might be great...but how will we know if he doesnt play...it would be one thing if they had a great qb to split time with him but mcgloin is a straight up pos...not his fault his talent level is nill and he was a walk on...its totally on the coaches for playing him
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: SD on September 10, 2011, 07:32:58 PM
At least with Bolden he can move the chains and teams have to respect his ability to run. Mcgloin is a drone who is an interception waiting to happen.

hes this old italian man in a 65 year old sport coat blabbering and pointing with a cane at a pep rally on friday night, then he sits in the press box as "the coach" because he cant possibly stand for 2 hours without dying.

how does this happen? cant someone, anyone, tell him to just give it up? shouldnt he be going to sleep at 8pm after watching jeopardy and wheel of fortune?

McGloin is really bad. Still staring down receivers. His pocket presence is ok, and he's not afraid to make any throw - but he SHOULD be afraid to make some of them. If they keep throwing him out there and pulling Bolden to the sideline, they get what they deserve.

it was something like 6-3 in the 4th qtr

there is so much money pumping into that program and how they are so terrible is dumbfounding. even with that rotting old fossil as the head coach they should still be cleaning up on PA kids alone

what are the odds FF sat through it and was giddy with the win? off the board?

its not really hard to explain at all...they have a head coach who wont travel for recruits...a cluless nepotistic son second in charge....and not a single known or respected recruiter on the staff

i cant think of penn state without seeing the gay son from braveheart taking care of his half dead father in the top of the castle...thats jay and joe pa

read it for yourself. its actually very disturbing.

I hate to say this, but it seems pretty clear to me that JoePa was clearly told Sandusky farged an 11-year-old boy and deferred to the douche bag athletic director to resolve it.

That is just brutal. I had to stop reading it.

Pretty much guarantees a new AD and JoePa retirement. And I hope Sandusky gets what's coming to him.

Legally, he did his duty. Morally... well, I suppose Paterno figured that it had been investigated and was determined to have no merit. But it seems to me that he has a moral obligation to make sure that kind of accusation is followed up upon. Make sure the cops know. If the cops don't care, go to the trustees and say, "Hey, this guy is farging ten year olds in our shower, can we get him the hell off of campus?" If that doesn't do it, get that graduate student to leak to the media.

Yeah and the assistant's father, who was the one he ran off and told immediately.

The only thing you can say in favor of the assistant is that Sandusky was a powerful guy in State College, and who knows if you can trust the school, the cops, etc. The assistant coulda been scared someone would leak his name to Sandusky. There's still fools on the Internet defending Sandusky even with all that indictment info before them, so clearly there are many people who would have reflexively trusted him over an assistant back then.

Paterno was a guy the grad felt he could trust, who was powerful enough to make sure something was done about it. It kinda sounds like JoePa didn't make it enough of a priority. There's enough shtein to go around, and it's not like he's the most culpable, but it's tough to conclude that he did all he could.

What a disaster for Penn State.

they were probably gonna suck after paterno anyway cause whoever follows a legend struggles...but in five years no high school kids will even know who jerry sandusky is and hopefully they will have  kirk ferentz type and be battling for big ten titles

the best comparison i can think of is baylor hoops after the murder thing. see how i call it the murder thing because i dont remember it.

exactly. but after that baylor was even worse than normal....within a few years they turned it around made the final eight last year. and thats what will happen with psu. it will be horrendous for a handful of years then everyone will forget, theyll turn it around and everything will resume like normal.

and even when theyre down the next 2-3 years they will still beat temple
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: ice grillin you on November 06, 2011, 01:51:41 AM
just from a program perspective thats a terrible comparison because penn state football has an infinitely more solid foundation from which to work from to get back up if they fall than does baylor basketball

also baylor got massive sanctions....i dont see where penn state does here...baylor had a current player involved in this case with penn state we are talking about a retired coach..also the baylor punishment was more about cash payments and drugs involving players on the current roster...the murders werent what got them in the most trouble

again i could be way wrong and i totally leave open the possibility that penn state could get smacked but i dont see where the football program specifically should be punished
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: MDS on November 06, 2011, 01:00:57 AM
the athletic director and head coach essentially covered up a child rape sex scandal. thats not exactly something the ncaa can ignore.

on top of that, penn st knew about what sandusky was doing and still paid him a salary and still let him travel to bowl games and gave him use him of the facilities and what not. even though hes not actually a coach anymore he was still very involved in what went on there, he raped kids and the administration tried to make it go away.

if he was just the dc who took 10 year olds back to his basement to farg them then it doesnt touch psu. but the fact that all these people were involved, that they knew and that he used his place at the school to curry favor with the boys and actually raped them on campus grounds is a serious serious issue.

i just can see how the ncaa lets psu football continue on like nothing happened
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: ice grillin you on November 06, 2011, 01:15:05 AM
imo its a legal matter not a football ncaa matter...just because he used to coach football doesnt mean the football program will be or should be punished...the cover up is limited to the AD which oversees all sports not just football and the dood who oversaw campus police...which has nothing to do with football

if paterno was implicated or any other member of the football staff knew something and there was a cover up then yeah i could see football sanctions

but again maybe ill be proved wrong on that

First person that came to mind. Zero surprise here.

This is going to be a big deal and it should be. I'm not sure how it is supposed to change much about any of my feelings in the long run, though. The grand jury doesn't seem to be taking this lightly, and Joe isn't being charged. Sandusky, Curley, and that other guy (who oversees the university police) are going to get theirs, Spanier is still a douche, and Joe is almost certain to retire after the season.

So, it hurts. Very bad for the school. Will make me a little hesitant to sport my PSU logo clothes for a while. But ultimately, the program is still squeaky clean on actual NCAA rules, and only a handful of iceholes (possibly including JoePa) were involved in the heinous acts and cover-up. A new AD and new coaching staff will go a long way toward disassociating it with the future of the program, I hope. Still, it kind of puts the idea of getting free tattoos in perspective, eh?

I won't lie, I am struggling big time with this. I've been a Lions fan my whole life. Both parents went there. My sister and I both went there. The football program, Paterno and Sandusky are all a big part of my mental image of Penn State and as a jaded relatively unsentimental guy, the football team has always been the easiest way to reminisce and express a little pride in the school. There's no question that this blunts all of that.

Like FF said, I'll be hesitant to sport my gear now and it's going to be damn difficult to reconcile all of this with 33 years of totally contradictory internal imagery.

It's farging sickening, but i just don't see how NCAA sanctions happen.  Heads will roll, JoePa is probably going to hang around, but this may be what makes him decide to hang it up.  Sandusky needs to die a painful death. 
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on November 06, 2011, 11:32:32 AM
I can't see how the NCAA would violate the program because none of this, as heinous as it is, has to do with football or recruiting. This is a criminal act not related to students or the process of running a program.

Paterno did the right thing by reporting it to his direct superior. The question is should he have the responsibility of following up and exactly how much did he know beyond what the GA told him? Once he reported it he seemingly washed his hands of it. Perhaps he saw that nothing was done so he assumed the allegations were not very strong? I bet he thinks "hey I passed it up the chain and its not my job to investigate further". Or perhaps he follows up with the AD and President and was told that there was nothing to it? "Hey Joe, we investigated this and there is nothing here". If he is told that then he thinks its true and is done with it.

So I see Paterno as a peripheral player here. The scandal will likely be enough to force him into retirement but I am not quite sure how much blame can be levied on him.

The AD, Finance guy and president are the ones who should be lit up. And I'd bet that Sandusky ends up committing suicide or makes an attempt at it.

It's not his fault but it happened under his watch so ultimately he has to be held to account for it.

And yeah I hate Penn State with a passion but this isn't some random blast of irrationality on the part of a hater.  It's fairly simple.  Joe has to go and he should walk away now rather than being fed to the jackals for months on end before being forced out on his ass.

i think yall have to remember that sandusky used his power and place and resources with the football team to rape these kids. he did it in the showers, lockers, on bowl game trips and the administration knew what he was doing and still let him get away with all of it

to me if the ncaa is gonna go crazy over tattoos or text messages they should punish psu for this. did this affect any wins and losses? no probably not. but just letting the program get off with nothing isnt exactly the right thing to do.

I think he was going to retire anyway. He's not even trying to go back to the sideline, has taken bigger steps away from the day-to-day coaching tasks, etc. This just makes it basically a certainty he'll want to get out of the limelight.

"As my grand jury testimony stated, I was informed in 2002 by an assistant coach that he had witnessed an incident in the shower of our locker room facility. It was obvious that the witness was distraught over what he saw, but he at no time related to me the very specific actions contained in the Grand Jury report. Regardless, it was clear that the witness saw something inappropriate involving Mr. Sandusky. As Coach Sandusky was retired from our coaching staff at that time, I referred the matter to university administrators.

its not just not following it up...really not following up wasnt even his biggest error...that happened was when ginger came to his house and reported what he saw and insteasd of going right to the police station and filing a report he waited a day then called curley

the most damaging thing imo tho more than any of that was was allowing sandusky to bring young boys to his practices and games up until 2007...the shower incident happened in 2002....and the first official complaint in 98

seems like there were just a bunch of rumors and uncomfortableness with the adults...except for mcqueary. what kind of person sees something that sick happening and doesn't follow up. i mean yeah i guess he was in his 20s and worried about his job and stuff but that is absolutely disgusting. not blaming just him cuz it seems like the whole lot of them are either retarded or closet pedos, but that seems to be something a normal person would not be able to live with.

i have a gross feeling that since this went on for so long, pretty much in front of everyone, there's a pack of old pervs up there that will all be getting busted soon.

someone made the point that joe might stay for next year even if he had planned on retiring because he doesnt want it to look like an admission of any sort of guilt and thus tarnish his legacy even more

this may be valid....then again it may not even be up to him

There's no athletic director to fire him. And hell, Spanier has tied up his fortunes to Curley and Schultz with his "unconditional support" bullshtein, so the university president can't even do it.

If Joe leaves, it's his call. And I don't think he would stay just to keep up appearances. He might stay to try to keep the football program safe and separate from the bigger problems, but I don't know if he has enough left to do that.

Again... taking this with a massive grain of salt for many reasons, but it's not like it doesn't make sense (from the latest espn.com update):
QuotePaterno wasn't charged, and the grand jury report didn't implicate him in wrongdoing. His son Scott, an attorney who helped his father draft the statement, said in a phone interview Sunday evening that his father didn't know the severity of the alleged crimes until he read the grand jury's findings Saturday.

"When he read the presentment and called me, he could barely speak," Scott Paterno said.

"It was like a punch in the gut."

So, it's clear to me if the allegations are true - and hard to think they're not:
Sandusky - suicide would make him lucky
Curley - douche bag who is just as guilty if any of this went down after he was in the know
Schultz - in charge of the police and didn't open a criminal investigation... you do the math
McQueary - the phrase "you come at the king, you best not miss" comes to mind... We would all like to say we would have stopped at nothing to see justice done, but with the legend Sandusky had and with Curley and Schultz opposing him, he really would have had to have balls the size of watermelons to do anything else. This is probably the same reason none of the boys came forward to authorities at the time... too afraid of being laughed off and rebuked because of the magnitude of the situation. I really don't know what to make of McQueary's role here.
Paterno - So, he allegedly knew less than McQueary but obviously had zero fear of being labeled a pariah if he did decide to escalate past the university authorities. You certainly don't want to believe the worst of someone you've known and trusted for 30+ years, and that plays into it too. Just tough to really know how culpable he is or isn't.

So, the grand jury seems to have blame in the right places for now IMO. The court of public opinion will decide JoePa's fate and legacy around this, but it will always be associated with him to some extent regardless... and that is a pretty damning punishment for the winningest coach in Div 1/FBS history.

Distinct possibility... because the other alternative actually seems just as unlikely:

Quote"Does anybody really think," Scott Paterno said, "that if (the university) thought he was a child rapist, they would have given him a farewell tour?"

So the fact of the matter is that either it was a conspiracy that encompassed a larger number of men in power, or it was a conspiracy just between Curley and Schultz. But why would they protect him to that level unless they knew others would be implicated? Others we haven't even heard about yet?

Schultz was in charge of the police with jurisdiction here. So the question is if going over his head to the state police or Feds was something McQueary or Paterno could have feasibly done. McQueary? Yeah, seems like he could have and didn't. Joe? Hard to do second-hand with a watered down version of the truth... Allegedly.

Just found this nugget too... Yikes:
QuoteSchultz served as senior vice president and treasurer from 1993 to 2009. He returned to the job this year to fill in until someone else could be found. The Board of Trustees named a child care center on campus after him in January 2010.

all of them need to go. even if true (doubtful) and curley etc. only got reports of "horsing around" in the showers, that's still disgustingly farged up.

the only thing i can even think of, and it's by no means right, is that if some janitor came up to me and said my friend of 30 years was doing something like this, i wouldn't believe them. but you'd have to think after more than one instance they'd have to do a serious investigation.

Really makes the NCAA investigations and the rigidity with which they keep watch to make sure students don't get ANYTHING outside of the scholarship for playing seem a bit trivial, huh?

Oh, the best college player in the country got a SUV to drive from an agent? A few Ohio State players got some tats? Yeah, that definitely deserves more time and effort than making sure Jerry Sandusky stops raping boys!

(Again, I'm not saying the NCAA is the governing body who should be concerned with PSU primarily right now. I'm saying they have too much time on their hands and should probably fire people - maybe those same people can go work for the state of Pennsylvania to help bring justice as deserved to REAL criminals?)

hard to read this and disagree (http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/11/07/joe-paterno-should-resign-as-penn-states-football-head-coach/)

In closing...

QuotePenn State and, specifically, Paterno's dereliction of duty are inconceivable. The only hope is that it was impaired decision-making or a breathtaking moment of thoughtlessness, rather than unfathomable depth of callousness and moral decay. If these allegations against Sandusky are true, Penn State's administrators and, indirectly, Paterno let a purported pederast continue to prey on innocent children, children they knew he would have steady access to through his charity. There's no justification for that. It would be inhuman.

Penn State stresses "Success with Honor." The program has undoubtedly had its success, but there's no honor here and there's none as long as this regime persists. The moral implications of this story surpass anything under the NCAA's jurisdiction. This is a tragic absence of leadership and a culture gone corrupt. Paterno's legacy, his 400 wins and his program may be ground to dust by this scandal. That's a tear drop in the ocean of pain the program's negligence may have inflicted on just one child.

Joe Paterno abdicated responsibility before. Under the public spotlight, he's in no position to do so again. He must resign, if not immediately at the end of the season. Penn State needs a clean slate, entirely new leadership and, judging from its actions through this mess, a vast recalibration of its priorities as an academic institution.

But I am trying to figure out ways I can again be proud to be a Penn Stater. Not easy to figure out right now.

QuoteFor the glory of old State,
For her founders strong and great,
For the future that we wait,
Raise the song, raise the song.

Sing our love and loyalty,
Sing our hopes that, bright and free,
Rest, O Mother dear, with thee,
All with thee, all with thee.

When we stood at childhood's gate,
Shapeless in the hands of fate,
Thou didst mold us, dear old State,
Dear old State, dear old State.

May no act of ours bring shame
To one heart that loves thy name,
May our lives but swell thy fame,
Dear old State, dear old State.

Dear God... even the lyrics to the alma mater are a joke waiting to happen.

You went to school there not because of the schools mission statement or lyrics to the alma matter, but either because family went there, its a top university to get an educaton and easier access for future employment, the football games would be off the hook and you knew it was a hell of a party school. When this blows over...and it most certainly will....I highly doubt when someone says to you, "hey what school did you go to?" and you tell them Penn State, they are going to be like, "sorry to hear that man".

I can't speak for anyone else, but I grew up in a penn state obsessed household. Sandusky was held in just as high a regard as Paterno.

On top of that, and this is a little silly but it's true so I'll share, there was a certain comfort in rooting for a sqeaky clean (if completely boring) Penn State football program. We all learned long ago that professional sports isn't the hero-haven that we wish it was. It's a business full of petulant spoiled children and cutthroat business men. We all know about the big name college football programs with shady pasts and questionable ethics. Penn State never had any of that. It was easy to root for them. It was easy to be proud of rooting for them because they won AND they did it without ever seeming to do anything shady. Sure they had fallen off recently in terms of national standing, but in an atmosphere of 'professional' college programs, Penn State seemed to actually be an upstanding citizen. It was boring and it led to some low-level mocking because Paterno is older than god, but there was never a question of moral character.

This situation isn't a pay to play scandal. Or something against the rules but equally morally benign. This is the lowest form of human behavior. Known about and covered up by an institution that took a lot of time and effort to cultivate its squeaky clean image. I would have been disappointed if they had uncovered something NCAA-sanctions-worthy. This is on a whole other level. The symbol of the school is the football program. That symbol is now utter garbage.

I guess that's the real issue. I didn't go to school there because of football. But football is the easiest way to keep my association with the school and it has always been a source of pride. Now what? Do I use the School of Communications as my Penn State badge of honor? Do I become a die hard women's volleyball fan? A fairly important part of how I think of myself is "Penn State fan" just like all of the people on this board on some level think of themselves and think "Eagles fan". It was a source of pride and fun. Now, that fairly significant portion of my self image brings really icky awful thoughts and feelings to the surface.

No one cares about McQueary and he will be forgotten in a month. I agree with you but no one cares about him and he's the one who has to live with what he saw and what he did or didn't do.

Paterno is the top of the pyramid. This happened on his watch. There's a pretty good chance that he knew about it. He has to go and McQueary and everyone else will go with him. Jesus Christ what a mess.

Post by: PhillyPhanInDC on November 08, 2011, 01:02:23 PM
Paterno is mentioned in the indictment as having been told what occurred in the shower. He knew. He chose to tell Spanier who did nothing. They were probably already aware of Sandusky's penchant for boys by then and had an apparatus to cover it up in place.


FF/RJS, on the real, sorry for you. Seems like this was the last shred of innocence for you and a lot of my friends and family held on to. I am kind of shocked it has this kind of effect on the people it went there.

Appreciate that. The problem is that I've spent my entire life as a Penn Stater. I've always been able to excuse the usually-mediocre results on the football field with the knowledge that things were being done the "right" way. I've always been able to excuse the knocks on academic rigor with the knowledge that those in the know and in charge held a Penn State degree in very high regard. I've been as proud as anyone can be to not just be a mere Penn State fan, but to be an alumnus and a small part of the legacy of a great institution. And, at least for the time being... So much for all of that.

The Penn State brand is forever tarnished and this scandal will forever rot their image which was one of the most immaculate images in all of college sports.

Not offensive. I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask how two grown, jaded, adults can be so impacted by this. I have a hard time understanding it too, but in the end I think the answer is actually pretty simple and I think you touched on it before. I've been a fan of Penn State and part of a Penn State family since birth. As I look back on my life with an ever-growing sense of skepticism, one of the only things that wasn't tainted by cranky old age and pragmatic realism was being a Penn State fan. Being a student, being an alum, even being a fan as a kid. There was never anything to taint that feeling of pride. Nothing. It was always easy and rewarding and something to be proud of.

Now, it's like being ten years old and finding out that Santa Claus does exist, but he serially rapes children. That last little piece of optimistic innocence is farging gone forever.

I'd love to think that 6'5" or 5'11" or 4'6" everyone would intervene and do everything possible to stop what was happening, but I can understand the inability to comprehend or accept what he was seeing and the related inability to act. This isn't some geriatric stranger, this was a legend. A legend who McQueary knew personally and who he may have had a friendship/relationship with. He was probably a personal idol of McQueary's. On top of that, McQueary reported it to Paterno, who is almost definitely his idol and mentor and a god in his eyes, and Paterno set the example of reporting up the chain and nothing else, which I'm sure he expected McQueary to follow.

In a perfect world anyone and everyone should have acted decisively there, but there is context here.

Agreed. So PSU football is unique for having the same coach for multiple generations, not breaking any recruiting rules during that time, graduating more players than other comparable programs, and having nondescript uniforms. At this point a good reaction to that information is... Big farging whoop.

I have come to work every day for the last 61 years with one clear goal in mind: To serve the best interests of this university and the young men who have been entrusted to my care. I have the same goal today.
That's why I have decided to announce my retirement effective at the end of this season. At this moment the Board of Trustees should not spend a single minute discussing my status. They have far more important matters to address. I want to make this as easy for them as I possibly can.
This is a tragedy. It is one of the great sorrows of my life.  With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more.
My goals now are to keep my commitments to my players and staff and finish the season with dignity and determination. And then I will spend the rest of my life doing everything I can to help this University.

I certainly do not feel like I am on par with the parents of my childhood friends. I would still default to calling them "Mr." and "Mrs." and reverting to the feeling of them being in power over me.

Now I try to imagine if I were a former player and current assistant for the football team. I grew up with the Sandusky children and am still close friends with them. My parents are close friends with Jerry and Dottie Sandusky. And oh, by the way, Sandusky is a revered long-time legend at Penn State.

Then, I'm putting some stuff away in the locker room after a long day, and I hear the shower running. I peek around the corner expecting to see that maybe someone left it running inadvertently. Instead, I see "Mr. Sandusky" farging a young boy.

Would love to think I'd beat the old man senseless, then wrap the boy in a towel, and go straight to the closest police station. I just think it's more idealistic than realistic.

I certainly do not feel like I am on par with the parents of my childhood friends. I would still default to calling them "Mr." and "Mrs." and reverting to the feeling of them being in power over me.

Now I try to imagine if I were a former player and current assistant for the football team. I grew up with the Sandusky children and am still close friends with them. My parents are close friends with Jerry and Dottie Sandusky. And oh, by the way, Sandusky is a revered long-time legend at Penn State.

Then, I'm putting some stuff away in the locker room after a long day, and I hear the shower running. I peek around the corner expecting to see that maybe someone left it running inadvertently. Instead, I see "Mr. Sandusky" farging a young boy.

Would love to think I'd beat the old man senseless, then wrap the boy in a towel, and go straight to the closest police station. I just think it's more idealistic than realistic.

if you are intimating that he stood in the door way while sandusky blew the kid (i believe it was the janitors who witnessed humping) and started to weigh intervening or not because this guy was a revered ex coach of his and then decided it was best to walk away is incomprehensible to me...he also went to joe and reported it...so to say that he didnt do anything because he was so close to the sandusky family doesnt hold weight since he turned him in anyway

but lets say it makes sense...how do you then explain the next 5-6 years of him staying at penn state and being around sandusky and little boys

like i said before i also wonder how much his promotions acted as hush money

No, it was the other way around. McQueary saw a naked Sandusky humping a naked boy. Both Sandusky and the boy briefly looked back at him, and in that split second... he ran away.

After the fact he either had convinced himself he didn't see what he thought he saw (with the help of his dad, Paterno, Curley, and Schultz), or he had convinced himself it was an isolated incident (yeah, right).

As McQueary's story expands outside the existing documented facts, it will be really interesting to hear his rationalization. All I'm saying is that in that instant, I can't definitively say I could have done anything differently... and I think many who do are over-simplifying the situation due to the heinous nature of the crime and the desire to take gray area out of the discussion.

Can't he be both a villain and a victim? By definition...

Quoteone that is acted on and usually adversely affected by a force or agent <the schools are victims of the social system>: as a (1) : one that is injured, destroyed, or sacrificed under any of various conditions <a victim of cancer> <a victim of the auto crash> <a murder victim> (2) : one that is subjected to oppression, hardship, or mistreatment <a frequent victim of political attacks> b : one that is tricked or duped <a con man's victim>

There is absolutely NO WAY McQueary isn't a victim here. The question is how much that is trumped by his role as a villain.

Even psychological scholars would say that Sandusky is a victim. He is obviously mentally ill and deeply disturbed. Maybe he was raped by an older man when he was a kid. I don't know and I don't care because of how big of a villain he his and the trail of victims he will leave.


It really is easier to simplify it, though. Something to be said for that approach, and I am looking into it.

I couldn't agree more, there is no reason to allow him to finish the season.  He should be gone, I don't want to hear a bunch of people cheering for him on Saturday.  There is nothing to be celebrated at this point. 

that huge group of students who went to his house yesterday and started we are penn state chants outside his window in support of him made me ill

It's college kids looking for something to do or be "part of the moment" in this social media age.  It's the same reason why thousands descended upon Beaver Ave and Old Main and outside Joe Pa's statue.  So they could take video and pictures on their phone and Twitter/Facebook it.

Also, I can't believe anyone called Ginger a victim.... he turned a blind eye for his coaching career.  Throw him in the cell with Sandusky.

i still fully expect joe to resign this week but at minimum not be there saturday....its just unpossible to me that he will be anywhere near that stadium in three days for a game...how do you have the balls to say you are retiring because you didnt do more regarding the child abuse but not retiring quite yet...

hey guys gimme another three games and a bowl to pile up some more win milestones while im in the middle of a child sex scandel....thats just unbelievable...furthermore he says hes doing this out of the goodness of his heart so that its one less thing the board of trustees has to worry about at this time...just in case some people might have thought joes coaching status is not as important as kiddie rape

Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on November 09, 2011, 01:41:39 PM
He has no more milestones to hit. Brings up another question of the timing of this indictment the weekend immediately after he passes Eddie Robinson. If not it is quite the coincidence.

I suspect he wouldn't even personally mind being removed prior to Saturday, but he is attempting to allow for as much continuity as possible for the good of all those involved in the program who are innocent... and as his statement says, to allow the board to focus on making other heads roll. He was miserable coaching this year even prior to this... medically cleared to be on the sideline but has given up and stuck with the press box. Two quarterbacks, one with all the talent and one with all the intangibles. He just seems sick of it and was probably done at the end of the season anyway.

So, it could definitely be argued that he's self-serving by trying to leave "on his own" terms, but frankly I think he'd be relieved if he were forced out this week. Christ, it's not like they're going to beat Nebraska anyway.

fact is he needs to be as far away from a penn state fiootball game as possible ever again but especially right now

so what does the emperor of penn state do?...he tells the AD and then forgets about it forever

FF to 1997 sandusky is still bringing children to paternos practices and games

joe did everything but rape kids...he was the pope and sandusky was his bishop

joes absolutely deserves more blame than curley or spanier...its not even close...and hes rigth there with the rest of them because he oversaw all this happen and was the god up there...he should be held to a higher standard...either way no matter what order you put them in the fact is if this guy coaches one more game much less the rest of a season at penn state it will be a complete travesty...he should retire and go away forever...just go die in silence somewhere

I still think that the actual witnesses of the acts are way more morally reprehensible than JoePa.   Ginger and the janitors are pathetic human beings themself.  Then the DA who didn't file charges back in 1998, as well as all those involved in the investigation should come in at number 3 in the responsibility list.  Don't know where to rank the rest of the crew yet, I think there's still a lot of details to come out.

For all we know there could be more kiddie diddlers than just Sandusky up in Happy Valley.

this.  that entire sham last night was nauseating. 

i know it isn't the line being purported by most people here, but i can't see how anyone is viewing Paterno as a scapegoat.  It is quite clear from his own testimony that he knew what had occurred, probably knew about what had occurred in '98, and didn't go to the police.  The entire athletic department is complicit in this.  Not only did no one go to the police, they allowed Sandusky to continue coming to the school.  In '98 it was clear to them there was some inappropriate behavior (to say the least) between Sandusky and the at-risk kids, and they still let him not only come to the school/keep an office etc, but bring kids in unsupervised.  Are you kidding me?

Even ignoring the fact that McQueary being a 28y.o. D1 athlete should have beaten the shtein out of a guy sodomizing a 10year old kid, not reporting it to the police is awful.  Who needs to go home and talk to their dad about it?  Bleh the whole situation makes me physically ill.

Keep me up to date on her success with doing so, because graduate schools are EXTREMELY hesitant to give you their paper if you don't take a majority of your coursework there. Would be VERY surprised if any graduate school with a reputation worth preferring over Penn State would be amenable to this.

That said I agree with her reasoning for trying and said so much yesterday. But the counter-point received was equally valid and less influenced by emotion.

i dont think it will work to where she'd have to only take 1 class at a new school. i transferred grad school credits once (not penn state) and had to retake 9 credits out of 24 because there was no equivalent. but it's not impossible.

I think there will be a noticeable impact the next few years, and then it should gradually dissipate.  Reasonable people know that none of the students etc should be tarnished at all for this, but there will be some subconscious stigma unfairly attached.

I will say though that I don't think its quite so simple as to just discard it as a few individuals making bad choices.  It seems everyone who matters within the AD has some level of blame here, and the President has fault.  That is more systemic than just a few people, but I agree with your point nonetheless.

why would anybody in this day and age think that they can cover anything like this up?  at the very least if you're not a good enough person to follow up on it, wouldn't you follow up on it just to cover your own ass when lid eventually blows off?

sorry but anyone who transfers out of penn state because of what a horrible old man and some administrators did needs to get a grip on reality.

i've never been a rah rah school pride guy, and yeah it's embarrassing at the moment, but it doesn't make the education, memories, friends i made there, etc., any less. it's not going to change my life one bit.

and maybe i just work with/hang out with more reasonable people than most but even though yeah i've had to talk about it with people over the last few days, no one thinks any less of me.


Exactly. WTF are people doing transferring? Jesus. I'm sort of distraught about the whole thing for totally internal reasons but I can't imagine anyone giving a flying farg about it with regards to how they actually think of me.

I read stuff today that Second Mile was made aware of this a few years ago (if I remember correctly), and didn't do anything about it either.

I find it hard to believe there are that many zesty people in this world.

The first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning was this freaking scandal. I forget about it at work because I'm so busy but once I hit my car and listen to the radio it all starts again. I usually don't take shtein like this to heart but when you've dedicated your entire life to one school and drank all the blue and white kool-aid it kicks you in the ass when something bad like this happens. I mean, if you dreamed up the worst possible scenario it wouldn't be this bad.

So, wait... people are actually considering transferring out of Penn State because of this?   What a bunch of weakminded farging bitches.

I have to say the video of the students cheering it up for Paterno like it was some sort of pep rally was really awful, however.

Shows a lack of common sense on their parts, but then again, they're college kids so it's not really all that surprising.

fact is he needs to be as far away from a penn state fiootball game as possible ever again but especially right now

and the board excuse is preposterous...what does him coaching this weekend have to do with allowing the board to concentrate on the scandal

on a football note nebraska lost at home to northwestern so i wouldnt say theres no way penn state will beat them

JoePa didn't rape any kids. 

1. sandusky
2. ginger
3. Gricar
4. Curley
5.Schultz
6. Spanier
7. Paterno

Let's not forget the initial case in 1998, where the DA/police ignored Sandusky admitting to a mom that he acted "inappropriately."

in 1998 paternos good friend and right hand man gets accused of and admits to child molestation

in 2002 paternos good friend and former right hand man rapes a kid in football locker room shower

so what does the emperor of penn state do?...he tells the AD and then forgets about it forever

FF to 1997 sandusky is still bringing children to paternos practices and games

joe did everything but rape kids...he was the pope and sandusky was his bishop

joes absolutely deserves more blame than curley or spanier...its not even close...and hes rigth there with the rest of them because he oversaw all this happen and was the god up there...he should be held to a higher standard...either way no matter what order you put them in the fact is if this guy coaches one more game much less the rest of a season at penn state it will be a complete travesty...he should retire and go away forever...just go die in silence somewhere

Joe Hated Sandusky, Sandusky hated him.  I have no clue where you're getting that they were out ripping beers and banging 12 year olds together.

Penn State's current students will do anything to defend him at this point.  I'm been getting in Facebook debates most of the night.   Apparently posting videos of Joe PA in his living room makes it ok to defend him.  If he didn't seem like a confused grandpa I don't think they'd be defending him.

My boss had an interesting take on it.  He said if he ever heard of or personally witnessed anything going on like that (meaning adult sexual crimes, not child molestation) the first thing he would do is go to his boss and then immediately demand they both go to the police together.

Makes sense, right?  You go up the chain of command out of self-preservation if for no other reason.

If your boss refuses it's up to you to do whatever you have to do to get the word out and if the local iceholes don't listen, you take it to someone (state law enforcement) who will.

The coverup is going to end up costing everyone everything.  It always does and it's so goddamn stupid and senseless.

I'm going total homer mode because i'm stating what was public knowledge, or even in Missinelli's book. 

Seriously though.  Not at all.  He deserves a lot of the blame, but he's late in the line as Hawk listed.  I don't know the internal workings of how it all went down, but i know kids lives are screwed up forever.  Simply put, he did everything right from a legal perspective, but from a moral standpoint it was a gigantic failure, and one that will cost him shame in his legacy.

twice that we know of...and im sure its more since they worked together for 30 years joe knew of sandusky molesting boys and twice he either did nothing or passed it off to someone who had a history of also burying the acts and then acted like it never happend...and thats if you dont believe that he influenced decisions by any number of people whether the police or the AD/president to bury sanduskys transgressions

and not only that but still was allowing sandusky to come to closed practices with boys....doesnt sound like they hated each other to me....unless they hated each other but had a mutual love of children with pee pee's

There's a difference between vague suspicion & outright complicity.  You understand that, right?

Look, what Paterno did or didn't do is really irrelevant now.  He's going to lose his job and be shown the door after 61 years of 99.999999999999% of doing it the right way.   

That in no way eases the pain & suffering of Sandusky's victims, and yes, JoePa should ultimately be held accountable for the actions of his staff, but equating in any way his inaction to Sandusky's actions is really overreaching.

There's still no evidence that JoePa knew anything more then that there was "inappropriate conduct" going on. And anything he did know was just word of mouth. You can't run to the cops with that and take the chance is a false allegation.. You can't conduct your own investigation. You have to report it to your superiors and hope they do the right thing. they didn't.

give me a farging break:

"Joseph V. Paterno testified to receiving the graduate assistant's report at his home on a Saturday morning. Paterno testified that the graduate assistant was very upset. Paterno called Tim Curley ("Curley"), Penn State Athletic Director and Paterno's immediate superior, to his home the very next day, a Sunday, and reported to him that the graduate assistant had seen Jerry Sandusky in the Lasch Building showers fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy."

You go to the police with that if nothing happens.  You don't sit on your hands and then let the dude continue to come to the school etc after this.  Sandusky delivered the commencement address in 2007 for christ's sake. 

You can't go to the police?  Of course you can, and SHOULD.  You tell the police what was reported (especially in light of the stuff in 98 which Paterno was obviously aware of), and let them decide what to do.

For the record, anyone saying that what Paterno did is comparable to Sandusky is going way too far, but at the same time, saying there is no way he should have gone to the police with this is also crazy and ridiculous to me.  Read the grand jury testimony.  You don't even need to believe the stories that have been leaked that McQueary went into great detail with Paterno.  It is clear that Paterno knew enough, and coupled with what happened in 98, you have a duty to other kids who could be molested to present this to the police.

If I remember reading, he gave that to his athletic director, and the ensuing investigation that occurred found no evidence. Why would Paterno have any reason to believe they were lying to him?

It was their resposnibility to conduct a complete investigation and go to the police with it. They didn't, and all they had to say to Paterno was "well we found no evidence of any wrong doing". It's a shame that he's bearing the brunt of this when he's like 8-10 names down on the list of people to blame.

Dude, nothing that you're saying makes any sense to me.  If they all decided McQueary was lying, does he magically get promoted from being a graduate assistant that same year after slandering a longstanding member of PSU's coaching staff?  He was informed that "Sandusky's keys to the locker room were taken away and that the incident had been reported to The Second Mile".  So OBVIOUSLY there was some veracity to the report, especially taken in tandem with what happened in 98.

If I know someone who has previously been accused of "inappropriate conduct" with a child in a shower, and now a second person comes to me obviously distraught about witnessing an incident where, quoting the grand jury that I was told, "the graduate assistant had seen Jerry Sandusky in the Lasch Building showers fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy", you obviously go to the police.  I'm not even considering the fact that Paterno is the most powerful person there, so farg his "superiors".  That isn't a lets just pass it up the chain sort of thing. 

He deserves everything he's "bearing" and more.  The fact that people are trying to paint him as a victim is sickening to me.

and its just a matter of time until Second Mile goes down in flames.  Per the GJ report, they knew in 02 and did nothing about it and let Sandusky continue to operate alone with at risk kids.  There is some seriously corrupt and sick shtein going on somewhere within that organization too.

lol he was like a 74 year old dude who's mushy old brain can barely make a sentence. He has no evidence to go to the police with other then a story. If he goes to the police with nothing more then a story on his own accord, it could backfire so hard and destroy everything he cares about if it turns out false. Or if it is true but they can't find any evidence of it happening and the kids won't step forward? The irony being that if it turns out true, the same thing happens years later. Benefit of hindsight.

I don't care who you are or what profession you are at, you don't go straight to the police when someone tells you a story. You tell the people you work for who are responsible for investigating these things and deciding proper course of action. Joe Paterno isn't that person in the Penn State University world. The parents of these kids called the cops, and the cops dismissed the case. What else is Paterno supposed to do here?

There is no hindsight when you're told for a second time some dude who worked for you is molesting kids.

This is the entire problem.  JoePa, the AD, President etc were too worried about Penn State's "reputation" than they were about doing the right thing. It is a CRIMINAL issue.  You go to the police if your superiors do nothing. 

If someone says they're going to murder someone, you go to the police.  Let them figure out if its true.  I am really shocked people see a debatable point here.

Right, then it turns out not to be true, and you've accused someone of being a murder/rapist/child molester/etc when they weren't, and effectively ruined their life. Good luck trying to get a job after a high profile investigation into child molestation charges turns up nothing and you're acquitted of all charges.

Would I go to the police if the consequences for being wrong only fell on ME? Of course I would. But when the consequences effect literally hundreds, if not thousands of other people as this case would have, you have to go through the process. Unfortunately, the higher ups at Penn State thought covering this up was more important then seeing that process to completion, with a full and fair investigation where they took what they found and showed to the police. Why THAT somehow falls on Joe Paterno is ridiculous to me.


The police had complaints from the parents, had a recording of Sandusky admitting to wrong doing, and STILL dismissed the case. So what is Joe Paterno going to do to change all that?

lol @ the idea of not going to the police in case you're wrong when the allegations are this serious, and then after that, still allowing this monster to come to the school for the next 9 years, give the commencement address etc.  And there's a difference between going to the police and holding a press conference about the issue.  Oh and "good luck getting a high profile job" if you don't report this and its true.  Put it in the court of the people who are designed to handle these things (and no, that is not the athletic department).

It falls on EVERYONE's shoulders.  Obviously Paterno is the face of this on ESPN because he was the biggest sports figure associated with the scandal.  They are all at fault.  Paterno, the president, the AD, the GA.  There was a systemic failure across the board which may very well border on complicity.

Penn State's reputation is not worth the children who were molested due to inaction.  Paterno is not the only person at fault.  But he was AT FAULT here, not a victim in any way shape or form.  Tell the parent of a victim that he shouldn't have gone to the police, and don't give me any of this he didn't know shtein, when his own testimony refutes that. 

we're going in circles and my opinion on this issue will never change and apparently neither will yours.

I agree that we're going in circles. I will only say that the only thing the police report confirms is that Joe Paterno was told a story by somebody. He then took that story to the people he was supposed to take it to, the people who were supposed to handle it, and they didn't. Hell, the police didn't even handle it when the mothers brought it to them.

Exactly. I'm not saying he doesn't deserve at least SOME blow back, or some blame....but there's a good number of people between Sandusky, who's number 1 on the list of blame, and Joe Paterno, and i was just expressing that I feel bad that he is bearing the brunt of it because he's the biggest and most recognizable name. You can tell he is a good man with a good heart and you know he's absolutely heartbroken over all this, and right now is getting absolutely killed by some people like he did the molesting himself.

I'm not sure how you can blame McQueary if you aren't blaming Paterno.  I'm not attempting to be antagonistic here, but didn't he do the same thing that Paterno did?  Pass it on to his superiors and let them deal with it?

To be clear: I'm saying he is incredibly at fault, but I think there are inconsistencies in logic if McQueary is supposed to be at fault but Paterno isn't.  They are similarly culpable in my mind, though I'm not sure how McQueary doesn't physically stop the rape when it's happening.
Title: Re: Penn State rules. (cont')
Post by: Munson on November 10, 2011, 01:15:20 AM
I think people view McQueary in a more negative light because he was physically there and in their eyes, could have actually done something. He actually witnessed it happening, and in their minds, could have physically stopped it. Though I think the posters here outlined pretty well why that's not entirely realistic.

That is reasonable, but you could also make the argument that a graduate assistant would potentially feel pressured to report this to a mentor, whereas Paterno et all should know better.

I think it is difficult to say what anyone would do in that scenario, but I have a hard time picturing a 28 year old D1 athlete watching a 58 year old man raping a 10 year old in a shower and not physically intervening on some level.

The amount of shock in seeing someone you considered a mentor, friend, and possibly even father figure, doing that....hell my immediate reaction would be to turn my head away I'd be so horrified....and I'd like to think I'd have the courage to put that feeling aside and start beating the hell out of the guy.

You can't be serious with this train of thought... He walked into the lockeroom.. put on his sneakers.... heard a slapping sound coming from the shower.... looked in... saw Sandusky banged a 10 year old..

The answer is unknowable because of an unsolved mystery: What happened to Ray Gricar, the Centre County, Pa., district attorney?

Gricar went missing in April 2005. The murky circumstances surrounding his disappearance — an abandoned car, a laptop recovered months later in a river without a hard drive, his body was never found — have spawned Web sites, television programs and conspiracy theories. More than six years later, the police still receive tips and reports of sightings. The police in central Pennsylvania continue to investigate even though Gricar's daughter, Lara, successfully petitioned in July to have her father declared legally dead so the family could find some closure and begin dividing his estate.

One of the questions surrounding the sex-abuse case against Jerry Sandusky is why a former district attorney chose not to prosecute the then-Penn State assistant coach in 1998 after reports surfaced that he had inappropriate interactions with a boy. Yet as the Sandusky investigation moves forward, questions will be asked anew about why Gricar did not pursue charges against him 13 years ago. A small but strident minority believes Gricar did not want to tackle a case that involved a hometown icon. Others who knew and worked with Gricar say he was a meticulous, independent and tough-minded prosecutor who was unbowed by Penn State, its football program and political pressure in general.

from the beaver county times back in march when the sandusky allegations first broke...

Quote
Worst-case scenario: Sandusky is charged. Then it seems reasonable to wonder: Did Penn State not make an issue of Sandusky's alleged behavior in 1998 in exchange for him walking away from the program at an age premature for most coaches? Did Penn State's considerable influence help get Sandusky off the hook?

Don't kid yourself. That could happen. Don't underestimate the power of Paterno and Penn State in central Pennsylvania when it comes to politicians, the police and the media.

In 1999, Penn State was rid of Sandusky. His rep was unblemished, which allowed him to continue running a charitable foundation that gave him access to underage males. To be a volunteer assistant with a high school football team, thus gaining access to underage males.

If Paterno and Penn State knew, but didn't act, instead facilitating Sandusky's untroubled retirement - are Paterno and Penn State responsible for untoward acts since committed by Sandusky?

This is far from an outrageous hypothesis, especially given the convenient timeline.

Quote
In April, Pittsburgh radio host Mark Madden wrote a story revealing Penn State for much of the cover-up of Jerry Sandusky's alleged child rape that has been exposed in the past week. While it didn't raise many eyebrows back then, six months later it looks to be incredibly accurate.

On Thursday morning, just hours after legendary head coach Joe Paterno and university president Graham Spanier were fired by the school's board of trustees, Madden was asked on The Dennis and Callahan Show what he believes the next piece of news will be.

What he said was twice as shocking as anything that's been released thus far.

"I can give you a rumor and I can give you something I think might happen," Madden told John Dennis and Gerry Callahan. "I hear there's a rumor that there will be a more shocking development from the Second Mile Foundation -- and hold on to your stomachs, boys, this is gross, I will use the only language I can -- that Jerry Sandusky and Second Mile were pimping out young boys to rich donors. That was being investigated by two prominent columnists even as I speak."

Madden also spoke more definitively to the cover-up efforts at the school and beyond that he expects will be made public soon.

"The other thing I think that may eventually become uncovered, and I talked about this in my original article back in April, is that I think they'll find out that Jerry Sandusky was told that he had to retire in exchange for a cover-up," Madden said. "If you look at the timeline, that makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

"My opinion is when Sandusky quit, everybody knew -- not just at Penn State," Madden added. "I think it was a very poorly kept secret about college football in general, and that is why he never coached in college football again and retired at the relatively young age of 55. [That's] young for a coach, certainly."

I'm sure we'll find out.

I would LOVE to hear how much other schools knew about Sandusky in 1999, then see how accountable they are for "not doing more" to help the victims. If the guy who got the information 2nd hand is as culpable as the guy who witnessed acts 1st hand, what of the others who were told in any way that the guy was putting his dick into little boys?

I think he's just saying what Madden's point was, this guy retired at 55, and never did we hear about any job offers out there.  The story back then was that Sandusky wanted the Head coach job when joe stepped down at some point.  Joe said he wouldnt be his replacement, and Sandusky quit/retired.  Now that we know where this is all at.  I didnt think it was possible for this thing to even get worse, but its getting to the absurdly SVU level.

What's really happening is that the acting AD will be telling McQueary he can't coach. A little bit much to ask Bradley to make that decision at this time... and besides, he probably already knows that the decision has been made.

I'm not sure how you can blame McQueary if you aren't blaming Paterno.  I'm not attempting to be antagonistic here, but didn't he do the same thing that Paterno did?  Pass it on to his superiors and let them deal with it?

To be clear: I'm saying he is incredibly at fault, but I think there are inconsistencies in logic if McQueary is supposed to be at fault but Paterno isn't.  They are similarly culpable in my mind, though I'm not sure how McQueary doesn't physically stop the rape when it's happening.

You can't be serious with this train of thought... He walked into the lockeroom.. put on his sneakers.... heard a slapping sound coming from the shower.... looked in... saw Sandusky banged a 10 year old.. Sandusky looked at him... and the kid looked at him... he left... called his dad... asked him what he should do... the dad told him to return home and discuss it... the next day he went to JoePA.

Ginger was a 28 year old... division 1 football player... who looked into the eyes of a child being molested and ran home to daddy.  How is he not much more responsible than anyone else, not including Sandusky??

We aren't talking about chain of commands here... we're talking about walking in on such a heinous act, and doing absolutely nothing because you're an ugly farging Ginger.

I think everything McQueary did is reprehensible and he should have already been fired.  I'm just saying people who said Paterno didn't do anything wrong because he simply reported it to his superiors could use the same line of logic for McQueary. 

I think all of them need to go.  This whole thing is horrid and is only going to get worse.

NCAA content to bide its time:

QuoteRegarding the ongoing Penn State criminal investigation, the NCAA is actively monitoring developments and assessing appropriate steps moving forward. The NCAA will defer in the immediate term to law enforcement officials since this situation involved alleged crimes. As the facts are established through the justice system, we will determine whether Association bylaws have been violated and act accordingly. To be clear, civil and criminal law will always take precedence over Association rules.

I really don't even care what the NCAA does. As much or as little as they want to do is justifiable.

That's what the NCAA should be doing right now.  This isn't a rules violation such as illegal recruiting tactics or paying players or anything like that.  It's a crime and the NCAA should absolutely wait until everything is sorted out before deciding whether or not to punish the school/football program. 

I'm not really sure what I even think will be an appropriate response though.  They key players involved are all fired with the exception of McQueary, so any punishment that the NCAA hands down is basically penalizing the coaches, players and to a greater extent, the students who had absolutely no involvement.  I mean, how could you punish the underclass players who are stuck there for 2 or 3 more years for something that happened 10 years ago?  So if the school gives up scholarships and bowl appearances, how does that accomplish anything?

Can the NCAA even start vacating seasons from basically 1998-2011 based on this?  Because if they can, then I think they absolutely should.  Taking 100 wins away from JoePa and the school is probably the harshest punishment that could be handed out.

It is strange that Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar never prosecuted Jerry Sandusky on child-rape charges 13 years ago, some speculate, because Gricar was known for being fiercely independent and hard on crime.


But it is even stranger that we cannot ask Gricar why Sandusky was not put behind bars because the tough-as-nails district attorney disappeared in 2005. And though he was declared dead July of this year, his body has never been found.

"People ask why Ray did not prosecute, and I have no problem saying, because he clearly felt he didn't have a case for a 'successful' prosecution," Tony Gricar, Ray Gricar's nephew , told The Patriot-News.

"... One thing I can say is that Ray was beholden to no one, was not a politician."
Story: Paterno aide engulfed in Penn State abuse case

This district attorney who had "a bitter taste in his mouth for the [Penn State] program, and its coach," according to his nephew, and yet never prosecuted Sandusky, disappeared on April 15, 2005, after telling his girlfriend that he was going on a drive.

Ray Gricar's car was found the next day in a Lewisburg parking lot and his laptop, sans hard drive, was found in the Susquehanna River, according to the Patriot-News.
Story: Penn State trustees fire Paterno, students riot

Ray Gricar's friend, Montour County District Attorney Robert Buehner Jr., told the New York Times that if the ardent district attorney had committed suicide, he would have wanted his body found. But in the case of possible foul play, no suspects have emerged from investigations.

When it comes to the Sandusky case, friends and former co-workers are all of the opinion that Ray Gricar would never back down from a righteous prosecution.
Read the indictment against Sandusky in Penn St.

"No one got a bye with Ray," Anthony De Boef, who was an assistant district attorney under Gricar for five years told the NY Times. "He didn't care who you were; he had a job to do."

And, despite the fact that Ray Gricar had the mother of one of the alleged victims confront Sandusky while police listened, the 1998 report on Sandusky was labeled "unfounded" by the District Attorney's Office, reports the Patriot-News.

"I would say this about Ray: He would be extremely cautious in proceeding because he wanted to make sure that there would be a reasonable likelihood of conviction," Buehner told the Patriot News. "You don't want to go after someone high profile unless you have a compelling case."

As for the 2002 incident, in which a graduate assistant told Penn State coach Joe Paterno that he witness Sandusky raping a 10-year-old boy in the PSU locker rooms, there is no indication that Ray Gricar was notified, reports the Patriot-Times.

Maybe he was molested when he was younger (more than likely he was) but there has to be some kind of rational thought in your head that tells you this sort of behavior is wrong. What makes this story worse is that he ran an at risk charity organization that was supposed to help these kids. If someone put a bullet in his head I would say good riddance.

So you're answer is that you want to watch in order to hear an old pedophile squirm on the phone? You want to listen to a man who we all know is guilty (multiple eye-witness accounts pretty much rule out any chance that he's innocent) stammer and fumble his way through a desperate attempt at claiming he's innocent. The dude is living scum and you're stunned that I would ask why you want to watch?

I can understand why Russell wants to try and avoid certain things about this story because he is clearly distraught over this and with good reason.  But for the casual fan or for a non PSU fan, this is a pretty gripping story.  I'm not interested in hearing his side of the story, but the fact that he was doing a national interview within a week of all this stuff coming out is just mind blowing.  Who does that?  What lawyer allows his client to say things that will be used as evidence against him in court?  The prosecution must have been popping champagne bottles during that interview last night.

Well I don't want to come off as a creep, but I think I got a grasp on the whole age of consent debate.  In PA and a bunch of other states, 16 is the age of consent, unless you are in an authority position.   Teachers, principals, cops, etc would be arrested for having relations with someone that's only 16.  However, Joe Smoe can have relations as long as he's not in an authority position.  This scumbag lawyer was handling her emancipation case, so I'm really confused why he wasn't considered as being in an authority position.   Under 16, I think a plus or minus 3 years rule is in effect.
Title: Re: Penn State - May No Act of Ours Bring Shame
Post by: Sgt PSN on November 15, 2011, 03:17:14 PM
That's pretty much it in PA, Hawk.  16 is consenting for sex, but there should certainly be some sort of ramifications for sleeping with your client.  A Dr or shrink would be removed immediately.  Guess the same policies don't apply to lawyers.  Farging dirtbags probably litigated their way out of that one.

From Wikipedia:

QuoteEach US state has its own age of consent. Currently state laws set the age of consent at 16, 17 or 18. The most common age is 16.
age of consent 16 (31): Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia
age of consent 17 (9): Colorado, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Texas, Wyoming
age of consent 18 (11): Arizona, California, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, North Dakota, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin

So MM's email says that he spoke to the police in addition to stopping the incident and reporting to Joe. Meaning a. he's lying (possible) or b. the cover up includes State College / campus police (likely given everything else we know). If true and he isnt just trying to salvage his reputation/manhood, this throws all of the assumptions we've all made about what MM and Joe knew/did out the window.

In 2001, Penn State sold a piece of land, just off campus, to the Second Mile. [Penn State's own website on Sept. 21, 2001]

The University will sell 40.7 acres in Patton Township to the Second Mile, former Penn State football defensive coach Jerry Sandusky's non-profit group for prevention, early intervention and community-based programs for Pennsylvania youth. The mission of Second Mile is to challenge young people to achieve their potential as individuals and community members by providing opportunities for them to develop positive life skills and self-esteem.

That was three years after Sandusky was investigated for showering with a young boy.

According to The Bellingham Herald, the sale was finalized on April 23, 2002... just six weeks after Mike McQueary told athletic director Tim Curley and VP Gary Schultz that he saw Sandusky raping a boy in the showers. As it now turns out, Second Mile had planned - as recently as this year - to build dorms on that land.

More weirdness:

FOX Philly has the story of Rob Lehr, a former camp operator who rented his camp to the Second Mile. Lehr said the group crossed dressed one year, and another year had the kids cross dressing:

"Camp counselors cross dressing for one of the evening events with children. The following year now they [had] some of the boys cross dressing," he says.

Lehr also said shower curtains would be taken down when Second Mile was at the camp. He said he never saw anything illegal, but did see things that were immoral and questionable (FOX Philly has video).

If there's one story that lends even a shred of credibility to last week's rumor of Second Mile involvment, as told by Pittsburgh radio personality Mark Madden, it's this one.

What else have we learned? Well, this summer, Joe Pa sold his house to his wife. For a dollar.

[NY Times]

Documents filed in Centre County, Pa., show that on July 21 Paterno's house near campus was turned over to "Suzanne P. Paterno, trustee" for a dollar plus "love and affection." The couple had previously held joint ownership of the house, which they bought in 1969 for $58,000.

According to documents filed with the county, the house's fair-market value was listed at $594,484.40. Wick Sollers, a lawyer for Paterno, said in an e-mail that the Paternos had been engaged in a "multiyear estate planning program," and the transfer "was simply one element of that plan." He said it had nothing to do with the scandal.

The Times also spoke to a law professor from Pitt who said that he never heard of someone selling their house to a spouse (poet!) for tax advantages. His immediate thought was that it would be to shield assets in case of personal liability.

And this is nothing earth shattering, but a former graduate assistant, Matt Paknis, who was with Penn State in 1987 and 1988, told WFAN in New York the following:

As a childhood victim of sexual abuse, he said he remembered thinking how inappropriate it was when he saw Sandusky tickle and pinch little boys during football camps, sometimes putting them in headlocks.

"I thought it was a boundary issue, more than anything else," Paknis said.

Paknis described Paterno's rule over the Penn State campus as absolute.  "I think he had more power in the state of Pennsylvania than anybody."

Victims Go Back As Far As The 1970's

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Jerry Sandusky's primetime television interview Monday led several potential victims to come forward and consider sharing their story, according to two State College attorneys.

Hearing his voice and his words proclaiming no wrong — while admitting he showered innocently with young boys — was a trigger for some who say they were abused by the former Penn State defensive coordinator. One said it went back to the 1970s, around the time Sandusky founded the charity that prosecutors say was his axis for finding victims.

"They're literally processing it right in front of us," attorney Andy Shubin said. "They have kept it from their families, moms, brothers and sisters. ... The folks we talked to are largely folks in their 20s, who in a lot of cases have never told their story before."

Shubin, who is working closely with attorney Justine Andronici, has also teamed up with psychologists, social workers and a national child sex abuse organization so that these people can seek mental help along with possible legal recourse.

Many, Shubin says, haven't yet decided if they are going to talk to police. Some cases might be too old for a viable prosecution.

But all are seeking to heal, Shubin said, and their pain was re-triggered by Sandusky's interview Monday night with NBC's Bob Costas.

"I spent about half the day in kitchens and living rooms, speaking with victims of Sandusky's molestation and processing with them the effects of Jerry Sandusky being on television and Jerry Sandusky denying wrongdoing," Shubin said. "And what I found was that these folks are being re-traumatized."

Shubin said he couldn't put a number to his conversations. At this point, he said, it isn't clear how many people he consulted with will end up coming forward and telling their stories to police.

Authorities have set up a tip line for this case, but won't say how many new victims have come forward. No more charges have been filed, and state police rebutted claims by the New York Times that there were 10 new victims.

Some of those who talked to Shubin are afraid of retribution from Penn State-crazed fans, or being blamed — like one victim — for the downfall of Joe Paterno.

Mike Gillum, the psychologist working with the Clinton County boy who first came forward to authorities in 2008 and whose statement led to the grand jury investigation, said Wednesday that the teen boy is having trouble in school because he is being bullied.

Coming forward has led to threats and verbal abuse, Gillum said.

"In some cases we're finding that they are hiding in a fairly remote area, they are afraid of being discovered," Shubin said about the people he talked to Wednesday.

Others have already come forward and say they were dissuaded from being honest, he said.

"In some cases they have disclosed something in careful ways to people in positions of authority and they were not believed," Andronici said. "They were, in some cases, scolded and silenced."

Shubin and Andronici released a statement Tuesday outlining their plan to take civil action on behalf of victims who want to pursue that kind of relief.

Shubin is well-known in State College for his civil rights work, and is often sought out by crime victims for representation. He has a reputation for taking on Penn State in other lawsuits.

"The word is getting out that we have the interest of the victims," Andronici said. "People know who Andy is, they know who I am. They see that we're in a position to advise them as they navigate this. It's an extremely daunting process — getting prepared in their mind to deal with this."

EARLY CONCERNS
   
The earliest documented report of possible abuse at the hands of Sandusky is in 1995, when his now-legally adopted son was still a teenage foster child in his home.
   
The adoption file for Matt Sandusky, who had a different name at the time, contains letters of concern from his mother to children and youth officials and to a Centre County judge.
   
Matt's biological mother, Debra Long, testified before the grand jury.
   
Matt, 33, is not one of the victims in the grand jury presentment, but he did testify before the grand jury.
   
Sandusky's attorney, Joe Amendola, said Long is upset with Sandusky for helping her son and her allegations are not based in fact. Matt went to live with the Sandusky family after he was caught setting fire to a barn in 1995.
   
Children and Youth Services placed him with the Sandusky family at Jerry Sandusky's request. He knew Matt through The Second Mile.
   
In his book, "Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story" several pages are devoted to Matt.
   
"He became an instant challenge for me," Sandusky writes.
   
Debra Long was allowed to visit her son only one-half day per month after he went to live with the Sanduskys.
   
About four months after he went to live with Jerry, Matt attempted suicide with a girl who was also staying at Sandusky's house.
   
"The probation department has some serious concerns about the juvenile's safety and his current progress in placement with the Sandusky family," wrote Terry L. Trude, a school-based probation officer, days after the suicide attempt.
   
The letter, addressed to Centre County Judge David Grine, also said Long was concerned about Matt's safety and mental condition, and asked that Matt go to a different foster family.
   
Trude finally recommended that Matt's placement in the Sandusky house be reviewed within two months.
   
The night of the suicide attempt, Matt wrote a letter to the probation officer dealing with his case.
   
It read, in part: "I would like to be placed back with the Sanduskys. I feel that they have supported me even when I have messed up. They are a loving caring group of people. I love both my biological family and the Sandusky family."
   
The day Jerry Sandusky was arrested, Matt brought his kids over to Jerry's house. The mother of Matt's children almost immediately went to court to prevent future visits. A judge's order now prevents Sandusky from having unsupervised contact or overnight visits with his grandchildren.

Perhaps Penn State never was all it was cracked up to be. Joe Paterno talked a noble game, but everything the university stood for—the Grand Experiment and all that—has turned out to be a sham. It pains me to say this because I admired Paterno and thought he was different, but Joe Pa is a hypocrite and a fraud.

The allegations of child sex abuse by former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky are shocking and disgusting enough. But the years-long effort to essentially turn a blind eye to the scandal by Paterno and other university leaders points to a culture that lost sight of what it claimed to be all about.

Paterno and his myth makers went to great lengths to portray Penn State as having higher standards than other universities. "I don't like to put myself up as a do-gooder," he said 20 years ago. "But I am." Sorry Joe, but do-gooders don't do the bare minimum when informed that a fellow coach raped a boy in the school shower.

Warren Buffett famously said: "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it." Penn State and Paterno proved that theory to be true.

A scandal like this—as shocking as it is—would not be such a surprise if it occurred at the University of Miami or one of the many other schools known for routine violations of NCAA rules, low graduation rates, and athletes-turned-criminals. That says more about the state of college sports these days and how the influence of money has corrupted many campuses.

Add Happy Valley to that list. It's not just the Sandusky scandal. Penn State's football program has amassed quite a rap sheet in recent years. Consider: From 2002 to 2008, 46 Penn State football players have faced 163 criminal counts, according to an analysis by ESPN. Twenty-seven players were convicted or pleaded guilty to 45 counts.

The players have been charged with a variety of crimes ranging from sexual assault and brandishing a knife to making terroristic threats and several DUIs. In one incident, a group of about 15 football players broke into an apartment and beat up several students after one of their teammates and his girlfriend was involved in an altercation. One student was reportedly attacked with a beer bottle, another was struck with a wooden stool, while a third was kicked in the face.

The charges against the players involved in the apartment melee were either withdrawn or bargained down. The sexual assault charge against another player was also withdrawn.

Are these incidences a sign that the rules didn't apply to Paterno's football program? This much is clear: Paterno's Grand Experiment, as he called it, of melding football excellence and academic integrity has turned out to be a farce. There may have been a time when Paterno maintained those two ideals. But the hero worship of Paterno combined with calls for his retirement, mounting pressure to win, and the big bucks generated by the football program likely conspired to blur the lines.

There is no doubt Paterno was a great coach who had a positive impact on many of his players, who graduated at higher rates than players from most other football schools. He helped put the university on the map both athletically and academically. Paterno backed up his words with hefty financial gifts to the university, which helped build a library wing and support other academic efforts.

Those are all good deeds that are a big part of the measure of the man. But Paterno clearly dropped the ball on the Sandusky case. He was Penn State. More so than the athletic director or the president, Paterno had the ability to put a stop to Sandusky's alleged misdeeds.

Instead, Paterno passed the buck. But as the other scandals show, all has not been perfect at Penn State for some time. In fact, the effort to protect Paterno's legacy resulted in his and Penn State's undoing.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- The alleged victim who sparked the child molestation case against Jerry Sandusky has been forced to leave school due to bullying.

The alleged victim -- referred to as Victim One in the 23-page grand jury presentment -- was forced to leave school midway through this senior year after fellow students at Central Mountain High School, about 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Penn State University, reacted harshly to the firing of head football coach Joe Paterno.

The now 17-year-old's family psychologist, Mike Gillum, told The Harrisburg Patriot-News the name-calling and verbal threats became too much.

i honestly dont see that big of a mess when it comes to the football program...unless some smoking gun comes out i dont see there being any sanctions and when mullen arrives there literally wont be a single person left on campus from the paterno era...nor will there be an executives left in the school administration

of course the penn state name will carry smudge for a while but i think from a football aspect the scandal is overrated...and really how much worse can the program get....since joining the big ten penn state has less conference titles than northwestern

they are never going to get a top level coach like urban meyer scandal or no scandal but right now i think its the perfect job for a second tier coach like mullen who wants a massive promotion and a challenge....in fact if a guy like mullen turned down the job because of the challenges perceived or real that the scandal presents then farg him hes a Hoyda and i wouldnt want him anyway

this may sound crazy but i think the job might actually be better now than if paterno rode off into the sunset on a white horse...it actually will be easier to take the job now because you will be following a scandal more than a legend...and even that legend is now is disgraced...the pressure will now be much lower and the leash much longer

the school in general is going to suffer a lot financially just because of the stigma but even that will go away. shtein, all this story took was the syracuse story for it to drop down in the news cycle.

Joe didn't want anything to do with that situation. He wanted to believe things were fine and the accusations were false. In Joe's world, people don't do the kinds of things that Sandusky did. He had zero curiosity to learn more about what was happening, and zero drive to make sure it got handled correctly.

That's why he never approached Sandusky, and that's why he was fired in shame.

Frankly, I didn't even really like him as a coach, not since the mid 90's. But I still believe he's generally a good guy who did as much or more than most people would, and much more than ESPN did in the Bernie Fine case (http://tominpaine.blogspot.com/2011/11/upon-further-review-joe-paterno-rose-to.html).

Considering the amount of information actually known at the time and the fact that Sandusky and the others being charged get to wait for their judgment, the way Joe has been treated is akin to a witch trial.

The one thing that would be different is that he wouldn't be actively coaching, so a lot of the shenanigans that occurred during the week before his firing obviously wouldn't have occurred.

It would still have tarnished his image greatly, but it may not have been quite as glaring.
Title: Re: Penn State - May No Act of Ours Bring Shame
Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on December 08, 2011, 03:14:18 PM
I don't believe him to be anything of the sort. But I do believe that he did more with the level of information he had than others have done in similar situations, well beyond his legal obligation and further into "moral" territory than you think.

I also think anything he did or didn't do based on his awareness is not nearly the worst thing he, you, or I has done in any of our lives. But again, I'm speculating too. Just looking forward to seeing what comes out in court.
Title: Re: Penn State - May No Act of Ours Bring Shame
Post by: ice grillin you on December 08, 2011, 04:11:10 PM
the only way he is anything less than despicable is if ginger is lying and didnt tell him about the rape...other than that having happened hes a disgraceful coward who did nothing that night...and did the absolute minimum the next day...and in the years that followed he still catered to the monster

then you also have to believe that he had never heard of the 99 incident or just general talk about sandusky...which would be kind of hard to believe in a small community like that

but to be fair those things could be overlooked...however when you add on top of whatever else he knew an eyewitness real time account of a child rape being reported directly to him then his immediate reaction and his subsequent behavior towards sandusky and kids in the years that followed are nothign short of horrendous

also joe isnt "others"...he was the king of the castle up there he was essentially god and because of that  should be held to a higher standard than what me or you would do

Come on, dude. You can't be that dense.


Child molestation charges don't go away, even if there's nothing to back them up. Imagine if they were false, and Paterno went to the police based on one story from somebody who came to him the next day. How many lives does that ruin? Not just Paterno's, and sandusky's....but everyone who was working for 2nd mile, every kid who benefited from 2nd mile, the kids that played football for Penn State at the time who would no doubt be playing for a damaged program if that happened, etc.

Which is why, in my mind, while Paterno might not have done the best thing (especially in hindsight), he did what was probably the best course of action to take at the time.

My biggest grievance with him is why he didn't follow up with the investigation. It seems like to me he told the people he thought he should tell, and then assumed everything was okay. I guess you can chalk that up to old man ignorance but I'd like to think he could have at least said "hey, so uhh...whats going on with this child farging thing?"

see let me see if i got this straight regarding ginger...with no reason to lie and no pressure on him whatsoever to tell what he saw he says this....

1. he saw a kid getting raped and told no less than paterno the ad the school prez and under oath a grand jury that he saw it but did nothing to stop it

now the story breaks and there is massive amounts of pressure on him and his career seems to be heading into the abyss because he saw a child being raped and did nothing about it so his story now shifts to this....

2. i saw a child being raped and i did stop it

no one on the planet believes this for one second and the heat on ginger gets ratcheted up even more and so then his story becomes this...

3. i never saw a child being raped but i think i heard one being raped...

the number of people on the planet who believe this still stands at zero....

4. (stay tuned)

dont pay attention that whole piece is a pro penn state schill job

report from the prelim today says there will be a plea deal where he will get 6 years



Defensive tackle and ESPNU 150 recruit Tommy Schutt decommitted from Penn State and opted instead for Ohio State on Monday, according to Glenbard West High School (Ill.) coach Chad Hetlet.

Schutt was Penn State's top-ranked Class of 2012 recruit. He changed his commitment after visiting Ohio State over the weekend.


Title: Re: Penn State - May No Act of Ours Bring Shame
Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on December 13, 2011, 09:55:46 AM
I was going to post about Schutt yesterday when the board was FUBAR. Can't blame anyone for decommitting at all, stings when they choose another Big Ten school, but oh well.

Wouldn't hurt Penn State to go ahead and hire a coach. Frankly, as a recruit, that is one of the biggest reasons you pick a school. Most of the other schools have already hired replacements.


And hopefully 6 years is a life sentence if reports are true.

i think hes farging with the kids hoping some or all of them will get frustrated by having to mentally get up to testify in court only for it to be cancelled at the last second...then maybe a bunch of them will be like farg this just make it go away and plead out...or just bail completely

remember most of these kids would have never come forward if not for the intial accuser so its not liek they are all hyped up to bury sandusky

he will know what hes up against via discovery so in that sense cancelling today doesnt have an effect on his defense

Ha, I think Grobe's personality is a good fit and would do fairly well stabilizing the program. 

That being said, he would make PSU even more conservative if that was somehow possible.  It is maddening to watch a team have 1st and 10 with 55 seconds left on the 30 yard line down 2, run once into the line, call a TO with 10 seconds left, and try a 48 yard FG for the win because he doesn't want to risk the team throwing an interception.

under normal circumstances id totally agree...however at this point munchak would have actually looked like a solid hire...thats how far penn state has fallen...

doesnt really matter who the next coach is tho...they just have to keep the ship a float for a few years...restore some faith in the recruiting world get fundraising back up to accpetable levels and then move aside for a real coach.....the problem is all potential suitors know this as well so whos gonna sacrifice themselves like that

I don't understand why they wouldn't just keep Bradley for the short term. Let him absorb the fallout from all of this. Let him coach the terrible recruiting classes they're going to have. Let him be the face of a dying program for a few years until all of this passes. He wants the job anyway, let him have it. Then, when the dust settles, go get that big name guy to be the savior of the program. Getting a mid-level coach who no one actually wants seems like a supremely stupid idea.

Good point.

I agree completely with IGY here, but here's the problem:
-Joyner and Lupert told a large group of former players that if they got 100+ former players to sign off on Bradley, they would more seriously consider keeping him. Absolutely no good reason to do that, and they should have been clear from the start that he was not a viable candidate.
-The entire current coaching staff has still not been told anything. Bob Kraft is commenting on the hire and congratulating O'Brien before they even had the common decency to give Bradley/LJ/etc a phone call.

This Board of Trustees is a chickenshtein piece of garbage, and it's no wonder that a pedo was allowed to roam free for over a decade under their watch. CLEAN HOUSE.

It's a good thing Penn State was already known for having an awful Communications curriculum.

agreed on the bradley thing in relation to the coaching position but theres no way they could have anyone even remotely associated with the previous admin

Good point.

I agree completely with IGY here, but here's the problem:
-Joyner and Lupert told a large group of former players that if they got 100+ former players to sign off on Bradley, they would more seriously consider keeping him. Absolutely no good reason to do that, and they should have been clear from the start that he was not a viable candidate.
-The entire current coaching staff has still not been told anything. Bob Kraft is commenting on the hire and congratulating O'Brien before they even had the common decency to give Bradley/LJ/etc a phone call.

This Board of Trustees is a chickenshtein piece of garbage, and it's no wonder that a pedo was allowed to roam free for over a decade under their watch. CLEAN HOUSE.

This is the biggest problem I have with this whole thing. Can't say that I am thrilled with the hire though either.

Based on the timing and the way they went about it, you absolutely have to be right. There had to be some "interest" from some of these rumored parties causing the long timeline, but ultimately pulling the trigger to agree to be the next coach at PedoBear University was a no go. So, they struck out on everyone good in a painful way, then took the safety candidate in messy fashion.

Lavar Arrington.  He has toned it down since this outburst.

QuoteThe former two-time All-American and winner of the Butkus Award, Bednarik Award and Lambert Award told Blue White Illustrated that he supported interim coach Tom Bradley and didn't want an "outsider" to permanently take over for legendary Joe Paterno.

"I will put my Butkus [Award] in storage," Arrington told the website. "I will put my Alamo Bowl MVP trophy in storage. Jerseys, anything Penn State, in storage. Wherever Tom Bradley goes, that's the school I will start to put memorabilia up in my home. I'm done. I'm done with Penn State. If they're done with us, I'm done with them.

"If [the Nittany Lions] get rid of Tom Bradley, that means they in essence have accepted the fact that we are all guilty," Arrington added.

It's worth noting that the Alamo Bowl MVP Award of which Arrington speaks is from the same Alamo Bowl that got Jerry Sandusky in a whole lot of trouble, indicating that Arrington may have forgotten about the actual need to hire an outsider for the program.

turning your head to pedophiles


A week before his arrest on charges of child sex abuse, sources say Jerry Sandusky watched Joe Paterno notch his 409th victory from the president's box at Beaver Stadium, sources said Wednesday.

A source close to the Penn State board of trustees told The Patriot-News that Sandusky was seen in the president's box that day and later went to the Nitttany Lion Club.

Earlier Wednesday, former Nittany Lions linebacker Brandon Short said he had been told by two independent sources, whom he did not identify, that Sandusky was in the president's box for the Penn State-Illinois game on Oct. 29.

Penn State spokesman Bill Mahon said a search of the guest lists for the  box for every Nittany Lions game during the last three seasons showed that Sandusky was never invited to the box.

The source, who requested anonymity out of fear of jeopardizing business relationships, also told The Patriot-News that Curley originally did not want to give Sandusky tickets to the game, but Sandusky's wife, Dottie, was so insistent that he eventually relented.

This story is big if true because the grand jury testimonies were all complete. If Sandusky was in Spanier's box to watch that game, chances are both Spanier and Paterno had to sign off.

But you're right, it unfortunately would not be that big of a surprise.

then the scandal breaks and we find out that all these years joe was just a football coach like anyone else and he followed the chain of command the way he should have by letting his AD know what happened in the shower and that when mcquearry came to him that was the first he ever heard about sandusky and young boys

and dont believe for a second that joe didnt at least hear about if not help cover up the incident that came to light in 1998

and while there is no evidence of joe knowing about any other claims against sandusky i personally find it inconcievable that in the 30 years they spent together that there wasnt a single other time where there wasnt rumblings or talk about sandusky and kids...whether it be locker room chatter...rumor mongering...whispers at a local bar...or even a parent bringing forth concerns

Let it go, friend. It's not our fault that Temple football is so bad. Well, partially, because PSU is a strong consideration for some of the best players from the Philadelphia area... but still... not directly. Not to mention, it was a Penn State guy who likely tag teamed 8-year-old boys in the shower with Sandusky who brought the Owls back to respectability.

But at least you guys beat Duke in basketball recently and you got a top-notch education, leading to excellence in all you do and a fantastic job covering the best high school sports south Texas has to offer.

if you honestly believe penn st is the almighty pennsylvania god of football schools and everyone else trembles in their presence and cant compete with them for kids you are even more delusional than i originally thought.

in fact temple and penn st were essentially even the last two times they played. in reality when they play penn st should be winning by 50. those games were more of an insult to penn st than a compliment to temple.

My favorite Cosby speech:


Quote

We Cannot Blame the White People any Longer

By Dr. William Henry 'Bill' Cosby, Jr., Ed.D.

They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.

I can't even talk the way these people talk:

    "Why you ain't,
    Where you is,
    What he drive,
    Where he stay,
    Where he work,
    Who you be...".

And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.

And then I heard the father talk.

Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.

In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.

People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education, and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around.

The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.

These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids.

$500 sneakers for what?

And they won't spend $200 for "Hooked on Phonics."

I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.

Where were you when he was 2?

Where were you when he was 12?

Where were you when he was 18, and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol?

And where is the father? Or who is his father?

People putting their clothes on backward. Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?

People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something?

Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles (piercings) going through her body?

What part of Africa did this come from?

We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa.

I say this all of the time — it would be like white people saying they are European-American — that is totally stupid.

I was born here, and so were my parents and grand parents and, very likely my great grandparents. I don't have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany, Scotland, England, Ireland, or the Netherlands.

The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa — so stop, already!

With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap...and all of them are in jail.

Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.

We have got to take the neighborhood back.

People used to be ashamed.

Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' — or men or whatever you call them now.

We have millionaire football players who cannot read.

We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We, as black folks, have to do a better job.

Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.

We have to start holding each other to a higher standard...

It's not tragic to anyone, he's old and has cancer so this news is expected. Tragic is 9/11, Jerome Brown killing himself and his nephew, Pelle Lindbergh playing bumper cars with a cement wall, the Lost finale.

But if you think to 'everyone else' that Joe Paterno dieing is just some old fart finally going away well in that case you're wrong. He was an icon that defined a university for years and is the all time winningest coach in college football history. As far as deaths in the sports world they don't get much bigger than this.

maybe thats an issue, that your icon is some old wop who covered up a child predators deeds so the phony reputation of his binge drinking mediocre state school could continue.

im glad hes dead and im glad that penn st got taken down. am i glad children were molested in order to so? no. of course not. but that school and that coach had it coming with the way they ran their lives.

the football aspect of losing paterno has been way overshadowed by the kiddie porn goin on up there in the woods....how ridiculous is it that this guy who just died at 85 was an actual major college football coach less than 100 days ago...the secondary scandal was that paterno was allowed to run the penn state program in his state....the best part of his death is that he can no longer ever again have his hand prints on the program.....they can finally move on....

as long as urban meyer is at ohio state they are going to murder penn state in recruiting...the scandal might have hurt on causing these guys to switch but meyer had more to do with it...think of it this way....if meyer is the coach at ohio state when these guys decalred they would have gone tp osu in the first place

Mushy piece on Paterno/Taliaferro situation by Reilly (http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/7492873/rick-reilly-paterno-true-legacy)

This is a little over the top for me, but his summary at the end represents how I've always felt about this situation.

Paterno's anything but a "god" or a "grandfather" or any of that to me, but he seemed to be a pretty rare cat who tried to leave people better off than they were before meeting him - with the one completely epic failure in doing so of course.

I agree the Sandusky quotes should haven't even been publicized. If I was an editor and they crossed my desk I'd bury them. No way would I give that clown any run unless he was getting arrested again, murdered or when he trial starts.

I don't quite get some of the people dancing on Paterno's grave though. Yes he screwed up and but he also greatly impacted the lives of many in a positive way. He was wrong with his inaction of not reporting it appropriately but that doesn't erase his many good deeds.

Quote"I can't tell you how reprehensible I find those kinds of actions," Erickson said at today's Faculty Senate meeting. "We have tried to do everything within our power to stop that, but there are certain legal limitations on what we are allowed to do."

Erickson's outrage was matched by Penn State alums who thought the selling of tickets was disrespectful. A Twitter hashtag of #eBaywatch was created to find any tickets being offered and get them removed, including the clever sort who tried to sell a T-shirt with the tickets included for $99. That too was removed.


I know it's just me because I don't have feelings for Penn State one way or another, but seriously, this guy sounds more upset over someone scalping tickets to a memorial service than anyone did at Sandusky's shenanigans.

then again he didnt allow weed and/or alcohol in his college house

he came to a phillies tailgate with us one time and i was lower on beer than i should have been because i accidentily bought some NA johnsons...so naturally i secretly pawned off the NA on him and his boy...both drank it without a clue in the world as to what it was until we were about to leave and one of them saw the can

that story is actually fairly accurate, which is amazing considering the source. all i remember from that game is you saying "finally" when people started booing utley after he finished off another 0-4.

one minor correction though--it was our post-college that house that we didnt want weed in. mostly because of the smell. beer was more than fine.

and to the rest of you i hope your tissues are all cried out. shiva call at my house tomorrow.

no you attacked a loud black man as a round about way of trying to let an old white guy who ignored a child rapist for nine years off the hook.....its a classic right winger technique

Chaney sent a kid into a game to try and injure St Joes players.  Class act.   Your attitude towards middle America is much more discriminatory.   You still loss the bet though.

he sent a 22 year old full grown man into a game and told him to get beat the shtein out of a 22 year old baby named jon bryant. this shtein happens all the farging time in high school football. it wasnt meant to tear his acl, it was meant to send a message and farg some guy up because martelli and his band of losers were setting illegal screens.

the biggest problem was chaney saying he sent in a goon after the game. if he doesnt say anything you never know who nehamiah ingram is.

one was a godly awesome tough as nails inner city hoops coach who told it like it is, had one of the greatest personalities of all time and was a purely philly as anything ever could be. he also had the common sense to step away when it was clearly time to do so.

the other was an old phony italian man who followed the pathetically corrupt ncaa guidelines like it was the bible and was worshiped by weird old men from central pa. oh by the way he also totally looked the other way while a child rapist diddled 8 years old in their iceholes for 12 years.

Quote
STATE COLLEGE, PA—As thousands of mourners gathered at Penn State's campus spiritual center Wednesday afternoon to say their farewells to Joe Paterno, former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky took the opportunity to express his "deep, everlasting gratitude" for everything his late mentor had done for him.

"When I think of how much of my life I owe to Joe Paterno, I don't even know where to begin," said Sandusky, who confessed to feeling "overcome" while attending the former football coach's funeral. "I think it's safe to say I wouldn't have been able to lead the life I've led, wouldn't have grown into the man I've become, if it hadn't been for his leadership. I can't even begin to imagine what would have become of me if not for Joe Paterno."

"Truly, he gave me a place where I could reach my full potential—not just as a coach, but as a man," continued Sandusky, his voice cracking. "So many of my accomplishments would not have been possible without him and the unique atmosphere he created at Penn State."

Paterno and Sandusky enjoyed a relationship stretching back almost 50 years, with each helping the other to pursue his passion. Sandusky said that while it was true the two men harbored different dreams, aspirations, and desires, Paterno was careful never to stand in his way. In fact, he affirmed, Paterno's wholehearted attention to the overall success and reputation of Penn State football allowed Sandusky to focus on building his own legacy at Happy Valley, where he was always able to go after what he wanted most.

"How many people honestly get to fulfill their very deepest desires in life?" Sandusky said. "Let alone fulfill those desires over and over again, year in and year out, day after day, for decades? That's the kind of life Joe allowed me to live."

Sandusky added, "I owe it all to the tradition he established at Penn State University."
Although Sandusky said he "cherished the freedom he was allowed" under Paterno, he admitted there was never any question as to who was ultimately in charge of and responsible for the football program.

"Make no mistake—Joe would give you free rein, but he always knew exactly what was going on in State College," said Sandusky, grinning slightly at the memory of his friend and colleague. "He had ways of letting us know that as long as we weren't interfering with Nittany Lion football, we could do our own thing and let him worry about the big picture."

"I could not have asked for a more perfect boss," Sandusky added tearfully.

Under the legendary head coach, 67-year-old Sandusky established a charitable organization called the Second Mile, which allowed him to bring thousands of underprivileged and at-risk youths to campus, introducing them to all aspects of the Penn State tradition. Paterno served Second Mile for years as one of the program's biggest fundraisers, thereby single-handedly helping Sandusky's involvement in the lives of as many children as possible.

"Life is about more than just football—it's also about being active in the community," Sandusky said before speaking at length about the particular vulnerabilities of children, and going into great detail about how badly young boys need strong, confident figures in their lives. "I remember how much Joe cared about the image of Penn State football, and how determined he was to protect that image within this community."

"I'll tell you this from the depths of my soul: Joe Paterno could do no wrong in my book," he added. "And I believe he wanted people to think the same of me."

After stepping away from the program in 1999, Sandusky was given an emeritus position with the Nittany Lions that included an office and unrestricted access to recreation rooms, showers, and other athletic facilities, a privilege Sandusky admitted he "wouldn't have known what to do without."

"This was a man who looked out for his program, but at the end of the day, he was very much aware that a program is its people," Sandusky said of Paterno. "He knew that taking care of the program meant taking care of me. Sure, we had our tough times, but some things are bigger than football—like friendship, and the legacy you hope to leave behind."

With Paterno's passing now closing the final chapter in their relationship, Sandusky said he can't help but smile when he reflects back on their tenure together at Penn State.

"I had years of great times at Penn State," Sandusky said

the school is a run of the mill state school. paterno was a fine coach who won a bunch of games but didnt know how to quit.

its the people who went to the school and live around there who think of paterno as a saint. its the whole scene and lifestyle up there that brought people, paterno, spangler, whatever, to think that protecting the good name of penn st football was more important than protecting children from a disgusting rapist.

its the thought that paterno and winning zesty football games means more than it actually does--nothing. joe is not penn st. penn st is penn st. its a state school in one of the most populated states in the country. people are going to go there and get a sufficient education.

but does it make me mad???...no

truth be told im not even mad at sandusky...hes a sick farg but it doesnt effect me in the least

again the actions up there are all horrible but bad shtein happens everyday around the world that doesnt make me mad

its the cult mentality of people who defend a man they dont even know simply because they went to a college or they root for a football team...paterno at least knew sandusky and was the king of penn state so i can understand his epic failures because he was trying to defend his kingdom and a friend

Supposedly Bench wasn't a higher rated prospect because up until his senior year when he transferred he was running a wing-t offense. 

If you watch his film the kid definitely has talent and at this point the way the QB play is up there they should take anything they can get.

They already have two QBs from VA next year that are very interested in them.  Next years recruiting class for QBs in the northeast is absolutely loaded.

Phil Groz:

QuoteConfirmed the following information from three different sources on campus.

In July Joe Paterno informed Penn State's athletic director, Tim Curley, and Penn State president, Graham Spanier, that the 2011 season would be his last as Penn State's head football coach.

At that same time I was told Paterno gave Penn State four names of individuals he felt were qualified to replace him.

Those four individuals were Urban Meyer, Greg Schiano, Chris Peterson and the biggest surprise of all Mike Riley the head coach at Oregon State.

I was also told and it was confirmed to me by two of those contacts, that my report was accurate I stated back in August a verbal agreement had been reached by Penn State with Urban Meyer and that Meyer was set to be named as Penn State's 15th head football coach when Paterno retired at the end of the 2011 season.

The stars were aligned for this kid. Hell, it could be argued that Dave Joyner picked the most TE-friendly coach he could in hopes of making sure Breneman stayed in state.

I think the last time Paterno sat on a couch and spouted recruiting jargon was the Big Ten network "Come to Penn State!" commercial filming.

Then the piece of shtein held out and was all but useless for the rest of his miserable career.

Lurie did an interview 5-10 years ago and talked about his first few years with the Eagles. He said the first year he was the owner he showed up draft weekend expecting the coaches and front office to be huddled in a room somewhere preparing their picks. Instead there was nobody there...he said the coaches/front office sort of winged it draft day [no surprise there] and that was one of the big factors of him making a change.

This snarky exchange reminds me of a wedding I once attended with a friend.  We took bets on how long the marriage would last.  A few months later, the groom was crying to us about his marriage, and, unbeknownst to him of course, getting very different advice from us based solely on our bet.  We laid it on thick.  I think the bet was five dollars.

I lost that bet, as I will probably lose this one too.  But if I don't bet, then I don't lose, and if I don't lose, then I can't send someone these awesome Eagles presents people have given me.

I assume most of you have seen it since the news is a day old, but CNN has been reporting (http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/30/justice/penn-state-emails/index.html) on the contents of the emails that Penn State officials sent to each other back in 2001 when they decided to cover up Sandusky's child abuse. Good ol' Joe doesn't come out looking so good. At one point, there's a three-part plan to tell Sandusky to stop farging kids in the shower, inform Second Mile, and inform the state child welfare agencies.

QuoteBut then, something changes.

The next evening, February 27, Curley allegedly writes to Spanier; Schultz, who's out of the office for two weeks, is copied.

Curley refers to a meeting scheduled that day with Spanier and indicates they apparently discussed the Sandusky incident two days earlier.

Curley indicates he no longer wants to contact child welfare authorities just yet. He refers to a conversation the day before with Paterno. It's not known what Paterno may have said to Curley.

Curley allegedly writes: "After giving it more thought and talking it over with Joe yesterday, I am uncomfortable with what we agreed were the next steps."

Spanier decides to "humanely" trust Jerry to stop raping. The only "downside" would be if Jerry keeps raping, and then a bunch of people find out there was a cover-up. Oops.

Quote"The only downside for us is if the message (to Sandusky) isn't 'heard' and acted upon, and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it," Spanier purportedly writes.

"But that can be assessed down the road. The approach you outline is humane and a reasonable way to proceed," he adds.

Quote"The evidence shows that these four men also knew about a 1998 criminal
investigation of Sandusky relating to suspected sexual misconduct with a young boy in
a Penn State football locker room shower. Again, they showed no concern about that
victim. The evidence shows that Mr. Paterno was made aware of the 1998 investigation
of Sandusky, followed it closely, but failed to take any action, even though Sandusky
had been a key member of his coaching staff for almost 30 years, and had an office just
steps away from Mr. Paterno's."

"Based on the evidence, the only known, intervening factor between the decision
made on February 25, 2001 by Messrs. Spanier, Curley and Schulz to report the
incident to the Department of Public Welfare, and then agreeing not to do so on
February 27th, was Mr. Paterno's February 26th conversation with Mr. Curley."

and while there is no evidence of joe knowing about any other claims against sandusky i personally find it inconcievable that in the 30 years they spent together that there wasnt a single other time where there wasnt rumblings or talk about sandusky and kids...whether it be locker room chatter...rumor mongering...whispers at a local bar...or even a parent bringing forth concerns

I'm much more disappointed than surprised.

Oh well, he's dead. Time for Bill "Butt Chin" O'Brien to begin a new chapter that doesn't end with molested children.

Pretty much.

How do you suspend a player prior to a bowl game for accepting a suit from an agent and not report a child molestor because he's your buddy.

Do they take the statue down now?

Not that it makes it any better, but I think it was less about Sandusky being his buddy and more about protecting the football program.

It's easy to make a small example of a small issue. Confronting something this big and awful is not even on the same planet. It isn't the same universe. The capacity to handle small things with a rigorous set of rules and personal moral fortitude is commendable, but ultimately pretty easy if you put your mind to it. Most people will never have to face something of the magnitude of being told that your co-worker and co-icon is a child molester so most people get to feel good about themselves and their unchallenged moral standing.

Joe was faced with a bigger test than most people will ever be faced with and he farging failed. Sucks that that will undo his legacy of all the smaller, but commendable, actions he took over the year, but that's the way it is.

On his deathbed:

JOE: Father, has my family left?
PRIEST: Yes, Joe. It's just you and me now.
JOE: There's something I need to confess, but first, how good are at you keeping child rape a secret?
PRIEST: God, you're a fleshpop.
JOE: Haha! Gotcha. But, seriously though, I knew about Jerry the whole time. *croaks*

The story is that they didn't want him to address Joe any differently than the other football coaches. To avoid misstepping on something so "vitally important," he just called him Joe all the time.

Now that the apologist conspiracy theorists have had time to read the Freeh report in whole, they are giving ammo to the Paterno family. The only thing that makes any sense is the 1998 email with subject line "Jerry," which explains that "Coach" really wants to know "where this stands." It is at least as likely that "Coach" is actually Sandusky, and Paterno isn't even mentioned. This is the only explanation as to why Joe was not also charged with perjury.

To be clear I believe that the Paterno family and other apologists are proving the problem with their current actions. If Joe Paterno was such a good guy who didn't actively cover this up, he certainly wouldn't want the university to suffer after his death due to people trying so damn hard to justify their hero worship of him. So, really, I just don't care about Joe Paterno at all anymore. If the statue comes down, his name is removed from everything, and he is posthumously given a death sentence; but it stops even one kid from getting molested... Small price to pay.

Seriously. People need to adjust their priorities here.

Initially I was against it because I felt that it was a punishment reserved for NCAA violations.  But the fact that this was known about by so many people and covered up for so long, I can't think anything less than the death penalty is acceptable. Sucks for the players because they had nothing to do with it, but this was an institutional cover up.

Not sure I'd go that far. The football program is Penn St and its not like the basketball coach or women's volleyball coach were involved.  In fact, had this happened with any sport other than football I think they may have reported it. But football is the golden goose at PSU and they were trying to protect it. No reason at all for all student athletes to pay the price. It's bad enough that the football players would get caught in the cross fire.

It's never going to be fair to anyone, and that's not the point. In fact, the less fair the better if you want to send a message to other programs about how they choose to prioritize football over basic human decency.

The collateral damage from shutting down a program of that size will be massive. This year, next year... It barely matters.

I think the punishment should be draconian.   Maximum imaginable.   I'm aware this means that people who have no guilt in the matter will be "harmed," but frankly, I don't care.  They aren't harmed that badly.  They can transfer to another school to play football.  Or stick and get the education that is supposed to be the point anyway.  Ticket holders can get refunds.  Scheduled contracts involving games can be broken and aggrieved parties can sue Penn State.    Whatever.

In fact, I like the idea that innocent people will be injured.  The sum of all injuries incurred as a result of the punishment pales in comparison to the harm done by the sicko who was enabled by the football worship mentality that ruled Penn State.

It's a ruthless fact of life that when you associate yourself with an organization, you expose yourself to consequences of the failure of that organizatoin.  It's not fair that people get laid off when a CEO makes bad decision, but tough shtein, that's life.

The crimes are so severe that the punishment should be massive and indiscriminate.  How else will the message be delivered?

Let me put it this way:  sometimes you punish the kid who misbehaves, and that works.  But when the transgressions are more serious, and the culprits more numerous, it doesn't work to try to investigate and punish only those involved.  You've got to punish the whole class.

This is a case for collective punishment.  Shut it down.

The difference is that those people were born into a life under Sadaam and had no choice. Players, coaches, etc all have choice where they work or play.  Plus, shutting it down doesn't kill anyone.

An unfortunate fact of life is that there is always collateral damage in situations like this and there will be "innocent victims" getting punished through no fault of their own. Maybe they lose a job or a football scholarship at their prefered school but I suspect that's better than losing your ass cherry to a deranged old man.

I do too which I why I said that the fallout should be limited to the football program and not the entire athletic department.  There's still innocent people getting penalized, but the damage is minimal.

Now I don't know how legal or practical this would be, but perhaps a fair trade off would be that scholarship students are eligible to transfer to another school and PSU is still on the hook for the tuition. So if a kid with a full ride wants to go to Alabama (and if Bama wants the player), then PSU pays the way.

Yes, paying for players' scholarships at other schools... That'll learn 'em! At this point those complicit in the cover-up are out, so the punishment should be a deterrent to other schools and has to have teeth.

Start by vacating all team wins since the 2001 incident, as there is proof that holds up in a court of law that proves the coach and athletic director, with cooperation from the university president, knew and did nothing. Bye bye Paterno's record. Bye bye only BCS bowl victory. After that they can and should cripple the future of the team in a variety of ways that will hurt financially more than paying a few tuition bills.

I can't believe I'm saying this but wtf?  The scumbag who committed these atrocities is going to spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.  The head coach who aided and abetted him is dead.  The douchebags in administration who swept it under the rug are all gone, and civil lawsuits will financially, if not emotionally or spiritually, rectify any wrong-doing by the university.

So again I ask, why is it necessary to destroy the future of the program when the principals in the past are at fault?

And I agree that Paterno's record should be left in tatters and the wins should be vacated but in the grand scheme of things those acts mean less than nothing.

Selfishly, I wouldn't want to punish the future of the program. But the deservingly-maligned NCAA needs to do something big here. They go after schools for providing ticky tack benefits like shirts and tutoring sessions, but they conveniently claim lack of jurisdiction on something like this? I can't imagine they can let that happen.

That said the "DEATH PENALTY" stuff is simple reactionary nonsense. It won't happen and would punish far outside the desired radius of stakeholders. However, I believe the PSU board of trustees needs to take strong measures to separate the importance of the football team's past and future from the school's. They are playing it correctly by not removing the statue in a reactionary way, but it will have to come down before another game is played. Other steps can and will be determined down the line.

When it comes down to it, the only wrong answers are to do nothing and to permanently shut down the football program. Lots of options in between the two for both the NCAA and the PSU BOT to take that will accomplish the desired outcome.

I view the situation less as a crime committed by one individual and ignored by a few others, and more as the natural result of a large cult.  The Penn State community bought so hard into the cult of personality surrounding Pope Paterno and his Cardinals, that the shysters enjoyed decades of total unquestioned power and influence.  Not even child rape could break through the spell cast upon these people by their own obsession with football and the cult of personality with their leader. 

The entire community needs to feel the brunt of the punishment for the monster they helped to create.  Vacate records and wins, obliterate statues and street signs, shut the football program down for five years.  Send everyone in happy valley to re-education camps.  Something like that.

Oh, I hear that. And frankly, the punishment definitely needs to be severe enough to make sure other schools are scared shteinless of allowing sports to run roughshod over everything else.

If you're going to shut Penn State down because it's a de facto cult, you're going to have to shut down the programs in Tuscaloosa, Tallahassee, Gainesville (in truth, I'd be fine with this because farg the Gators), Ann Arbor, etc.

Punishing innocents because other innocents were harmed is not the way to prevent such things from happening again.  It's not a rational solution, sorry.

Do you disagree that there are times when the most effective method for correcting behavior is to punish everyone for one person's bad behavior?

I know a basketball coach who makes the entire team run suicide sprints if any single player is caught taunting or trash talking after making a basket.  It's not fair of course, but it works.  After scoring, the entire team hustles into defense.

Sometimes you have to raise the stakes for everyone in order to get a change in thinking and behavior.

Are you sure about that?  Sexual predation isn't confined to central Pennsylvania, Dio.  I'm sure there have been countless instances where women and children have been raped or otherwise abused sexually in every college town in America.  Should we get the pitchforks and spark the torches and shut them all down too?

Look, I'm just playing devil's advocate here, and I 100% agree Penn State should face severe sanctions because of this, but ending a program because of the actions of former participants is just too punitive for me, and not because of some weird love I have for the program either.

There's still a lot of resistance from individuals.  I read an article today in The Sporting News that quoted an anonymous BOT member saying that the statue shouldn't come down because it "represents all the good Joe did."

LOL.  So does this mean Sandusky gets a statue then?  Because I'm sure that between rapings, he (and his charity) actually did some good, too. 

And Bobby Bowden thinks it should come down as well.  Maybe he is biased, but he's still right.

Quote"You can't let people stampede you into making a rash decision," a trustee told ESPN.com. "The statue represents the good that Joe did. It doesn't represent the bad that he did."

Pretty sure the statue represents the person and everything he did in his life. 

Quote"It has to stay up," a trustee told the website. "We have to let a number of months pass, and we'll address it again. But there is no way, no way. It's just not coming down."

Bowden:

Quote"You go to a Penn State football game and there's 100,000 people down there and they see that statue and you know doggone well they'll start talking about Sandusky," Bowden told The Associated Press. "If it was me, I wouldn't want to have it brought up every time I walked out on the field."

I don't even know how you could say he was clueless at this point.  Even if (and I think it's a big if) it can be indisputably proven that he wasn't involved in the cover up, I don't think there's any doubt that he wasn't fully aware of what was going on.  What's the goal here?  To prove that rather than being an active participant in the cover up, Paterno simply sat idle and did nothing?  Do they think there's a significant difference between the two?

That's exactly my point. What can be proven and what makes sense are two different things, and the Paternos and their apologists are going to continue to press those differences.

With Joe dead, they are both doing it to retain their memories of the guy but also to protect his estate from financial losses. Like him they're not as obtuse as they'd like us to think.

Can't say I agree with that at all.  Paterno didn't polish their mud nickels.  Even though he was part of a cover up, the fact that school administrators were involved as well basically means that Penn St. as an institution covered it up.  If you're going to let the victims decide what to do with the statue, are you going to let them decide what to do with Penn St?  Should the victims also be allowed to decide whether PSU football gets the death penalty or not?  Should they determine whether or not to vacate all of Paterno's wins after 1998 (or 2001)?  Or what about the library?  Where does the line get drawn on where the victims can stop deciding what Penn St has to do?

It's a moot point now since the statue is coming down anyway, but I still disagree.  I get your logic but don't like the idea of victims making institutional decisions.  Let the big boys running the school make the grown up decisions.  I think it's more "symbolic" for the school to say that the statue comes down than the victims.

so we're going to let 20 something year old kids make a decision on what happens to a school of 60K+ and employs how many thousands? what the farg is wrong with everyone.

it's an awful situation and obviously all the people involved need to get the boot and be punished but the whole statue situation is just a media created topic so everyone can stand on their soapboxes and say what the right thing to do is. i personally don't give a shtein if the statue is there or thrown in the garbage, but do you really think the victims are going to be all better once it's gone? i know it's a symbol and all and i guess i understand but people need to stop saying take it down for the victims because i really doubt the whole topic of the statue came from any of them. unless it did, then i take it all back.

The money is the 2nd to least severe of the penalties, next to only the meaningless vacated wins. The scholarships and bowl ban will be much more damaging to the university coffers.

QuoteTo Rodney Erickson, and the rest of the Penn State Nation, I hope that this status goes viral so you will someday read it. I am a Wounded Warrior, wounded in combat by a gunshot wound through my pelvis. I have never asked, or tried to hide my scars or have them removed. Why? Because they are reminders of who I am and what I've done. All those things I've done may not have been good, but I am man enough to accept and face that. You should be man enough to face your past. We do not remove the Lincoln Memorial because he started the Civil War, rather we leave it as a reminder of the good he's done. To some, the statute may remind them of the Sandusky Child Molestations, and I understand that. However, how are you to move forward in this life if you do not know where you've been? We study history to remind us to not allow it to repeat itself. Some have said that no man, coach, or player is bigger than the school. I disagree, because all the administration has done is prove that Joe Paterno was Penn State. Joe Pa lived for the school, and had the backbone to stare adversity in the eyes, and was able to put blinders on to ignore what the media and speculators said, to do what was needed. Even until the day he passed away, Coach Paterno lived with gracious integrity and still to this day, has been the only staff member to admit he was wrong. And if this status goes viral, all I ask is that the school be punished through a conventional process, not the court of public opinion. I also ask that ESPN give a sincere and public apology for dragging the school, Joe Pa, the victims, and the fans, alumni, and families of Penn State through the dirt by giving an unfair and completely biased, opinionated report. Much like my scars will always make me who I am, Joe Paterno will forever be Penn State.

The trouble is, the NCAA likely wouldn't allow it.

Appearing on ESPN radio Monday, Holtz said if he were the head coach of the Nittany Lions he would tell players, " 'We aren't going to a bowl game but let me tell you what we're going to do, son. For the next four years the last game we're going to play is at Hawaii. And we're going to go there and you're going to have the time of your life.

Penn State faces federal penalties as Education Dept. probes Sandusky case
By Jeremy Roebuck and Susan Snyder
Inquirer Staff Writers

In 2002, when a Pennsylvania State University football standout was accused of a dorm-room rape, the details were easy to come by.

After all, the alleged assault became a national news story when coach Joe Paterno allowed the accused cornerback to suit up for a postseason game despite the pending criminal charges.

The only place the curious couldn't find notice of the case was Penn State's federally mandated campus crime report.

It was never listed, though that was required by federal law even though the player was ultimately acquitted. In fact, the university reported no sexual assaults involving students on or off campus that year.

"It was an obvious error and could not be correct," said S. Daniel Carter, then a senior vice president for the Wayne-based Clery Center for Security on Campus. "I personally knew of other incidents that had been reported in 2002."

The incident is just one example of what former FBI Director Louis Freeh described in a report issued this month as the university's consistent and at times systematic failure to follow the Clery Act, a federal law requiring universities to provide accurate reports of crime on their campuses.

If true, those shortcomings are likely to loom large in the U.S. Department of Education's probe into Penn State's handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sexual-abuse case - an investigation that some campus security experts have described as the Education Department's largest Clery investigation to date.

In November, the department requested a host of documents from Penn State, including logs of all crime reported to any campus security authorities from 1998 to 2011.

Should Penn State be found in violation, it could face fines of up to $27,500 per incident as well as a possible loss of federal aid including grants, loans, and work-study payments.

A department spokeswoman refused to discuss the current status of the investigation.

But Carter, the campus safety advocate who now works for a Virginia-based family outreach center, suspects that Penn State's eventual fines could exceed the largest Clery penalty ever assessed - the $350,000 paid by Eastern Michigan University after administrators there intentionally mischaracterized the 2006 murder of a student in her dorm room as a death by natural causes.

Carter said Penn State is hardly alone in failing to fully meet Clery reporting requirements.

A 2002 Justice Department study found nearly two-thirds of campuses fell short of full implementation. And since 2007, the Education Department has initiated 78 investigations and assessed fines totaling $1.4 million for noncompliance.

"So many people view the Clery Act as a bureaucratic obligation," he said. "Many schools were ignorant to the requirements, and when they did become aware of them, they met with institutional resistance."

The law is named after Jeanne Clery, a Lehigh University freshman who was raped and murdered in her dorm room in 1986.

It requires universities to disclose all sexual assaults, murders, robberies, and other crimes that occur on campus and in the surrounding community.

Police as well as other designated campus authorities - including coaches and athletic directors - are responsible for passing on reports even if they do not result in criminal charges.

At Penn State, Freeh found few officials were aware of the Clery Act and its requirements, and those in charge of monitoring compliance received little training and were often overworked.

From 1997 to 2007, one university police officer was assigned to compile Clery reports. When he asked for more personnel to handle the job of monitoring on-campus crime as well as incidents involving students off campus, he was told, "We don't have the money," the Freeh report said.

And even once risk-management assessments flagged Penn State's spotty record meeting the act's requirements, "awareness and interest in Clery Act compliance . . . remained significantly lacking," said Freeh.

"The university's incomplete implementation of the Clery Act was a contributing factor in the failure to report child sexual abuse committed by Sandusky," he said.

When a mother reported in 1998 that the former assistant football coach had inappropriately touched her 11-year-old son in a football locker room shower, Penn State Police Chief Thomas Harmon e-mailed Gary Schultz, then the university vice president in charge of campus police: "We're going to hold off on making a crime log entry. At this point in time I can justify that decision because of the lack of clear evidence of a crime."

No charges were filed, but police generated a 90-page report on their investigation. The incident was not included in Penn State's annual crime statistics as required by the Clery Act.

Three years later, three Penn State officials - Schultz, then-president Graham B. Spanier and Athletic Director Tim Curley - agreed not to notify authorities when a graduate assistant reported seeing Sandusky molesting a boy in a locker room shower. Their e-mail exchange did not indicate any attempt to determine whether the alleged incident should be reported under the Clery Act, Freeh noted.

"The football program in particular opted out of most of the university's Clery Act, sexual abuse awareness and summer camp procedures training," according to his report.

Penn State spokesman David La Torre said university president Rodney Erickson has accepted the Freeh report and its findings. The Freeh group made preliminary recommendations for improvement in January, and the board of trustees immediately began taking steps, he noted.

"President Erickson takes recommendations to the Clery Act very seriously," La Torre said.

But publicity surrounding the Sandusky case and the Freeh report has brought new attention to the Clery Act, campus safety advocates say. More schools are following in the lead of universities like Lehigh, which began training administrators annually on the law after Clery's murder and repeatedly informs students and faculty where they can find crime statistics for the Bethlehem, Pa., campus.

"We follow the letter of the law," said Lehigh Police Chief Edward Shupp, who investigated the freshman's slaying as a young sergeant. "In fact, we go above and beyond what is required. We feel the more education that's out there, the better for everyone involved."

Penn State has also taken steps to improve its Clery compliance since Sandusky's arrest, including hiring Gabriel Gates as its first full-time Clery Act compliance officer.

"Now, certainly not in any way that they would have wanted, Penn State has become a leader in this area," said Carter.

Since Gates started, the university has identified more than 3,000 employees and volunteers who have reporting responsibilities under the law and have provided training to about half. The rest will attend mandatory training sessions in the near future. The university's board also plans to review annually the campus' Clery reports.

"My focus hasn't been on the past," Gates said. "I've been given a clean slate to build a robust compliance program with a focus on the future."

When the bowl ban got put into effect, his contract officially became a 9-year Johnson at over $3m a year. The buyout alone would make it tricky to leave, and he has a disabled son or something.

I think the job he did under adverse circumstances was pretty farging remarkable. The Big Ten sucked, granted, but by all rights this team should have had a losing record. All of their top talent left and they were an embarrassing mess on special teams all year. McGloin was their farging QB for christ's sake and they went 8-4.

and if the big ten gets a little better (which it almost has to) or penn state gets a little worse then hes 5-7 or 4-8....

he did a commendable job im not saying he didnt.....but him leaving wouldnt cause me to hate sports...it would obviously be preferable if he did stay just from a continuity standpoint....i mean they def dont need need  to lose their head coach at this point after what they have been thru.....at the same time they are going to be anywhere from irrelevant to zesty for at least the next six years no matter who the coach is

from a coaching phenom/genius standpoint i just dont see what he did this year thats makes him special...the improvment in mcgloin i would put as much on the paterno regime NOT being there than that obrien turned everything around...i mean the offense had to get better just by imporving the playbook and playcalling which was atrociously bad under the paternos....like division III bad....maybe i will be proved wrong and he is the next belichek...but as of now i have no idea who he is and just dont see getting upset if he left

Penn State actually gets the head coach decision right on the first try and now he's likely to leave? I farging hate being a sports fan more and more with each passing minute.

I agree with this.  I can't find any legit reason to give two shteins about sports these days.  It's all just disgusting to me and I'm piss pot tired of it.

He had to implement an entirely new system/staff etc. and did so without his best 3 players. PSU had every reason to be horrible this season instead they were probably a top 20 team.

I don't think he's even lurking.  His last post was Jan 28 and that was also the last time he logged in.  So if he is lurking, he's doing so as a guest.

Also, I didn't know Paterno camp was suing the NCAA.  Wtf do they want....the wins?  I remember hearing that Corbitt was suing the NCAA on behalf of the Commonwealth, but I don't even know where that stands now.  Last I heard about a week or so ago, it was basically in some sort of pre-trial stage for a judge to determine whether or not the lawsuit would continue.

Yeah, so the family is suing basically to get wins back.  Players that no one cares about are suing to get the last remaining evidence of their football careers put back on the books.  And I guess the faculty would include people who were named as participants in the Feech report and fired, so I guess they just want money. 

All of this is definitely more important than 12 yr old nigglets getting butt slammed in the shower by Uncle Jerry for a decade and a half.

normally id agree with the high hopes part and in theory he obviously should get better as he matures but the team is only going to get worse as his career moves forward....will he ever have a player even as good as allen robinson again?

Grade - B

James Franklin's first class at Penn State is a quality one and he did his best to keep it together. Leading the way for the Nittany Lions are future wide receivers De'Andre Thompkins, a former Rutgers pledge, along with No. 118 Saeed Blacknall and No. 159 Chris Godwin. Three-star tight end Mike Gesicki is another sure-handed pass-catcher, while the future of the quarterback position looks secure with ESPN 300 Michael O'Connor remaining in the fold. Defensive end Lloyd Tubman was the first to flip from Vanderbilt to Penn State, and junior college defensive tackle Tarow Barney has already enrolled.

The bowl ban was dumb because you're punishing fans and kids who had nothing to do with it. I agree a harsh punishment was warranted, but why not make Penn State give all the proceeds/winning from the bowl games to a charity.

yea its not fair that people get punished for other people's actions but the ncaa is a farce. really penn st is lucky to be playing football games at all...they shouldve shut shtein down for 2 years and just let the community and everyone there re-evaluate priorities. exponentially, football and winning trumped the safety of 12 year old boys. alabama, usc, lsu, florida, etc. all wouldve done the same. penn state isnt alone. but it happened to them, and they needed to pay.

i read shtein all day from clueless morons who said something to the effect that they shouldn't have faced any disciplinary action.

i mean, are you farging kidding me?  they aided and abetted a goddamn serial child rapist then covered it up for a decade.  i don't care if the athletes that attend the school now were affected by shuttering the program.  every last one of them can find another school to play for and the coaches can find other programs to coach at.  i'd feel bad for the rank & file workers at the stadium, but in the end the hammer had to be dropped on the program.  as it is they got away with a 2 year slap on the wrist.

it's disgusting.

the people hurt are the business owners around the area that make a good bulk of their money off of home game weekends. it sucks for them, but when your business model revolves around the performance of a football team, theres going to ebbs and flows to it. bidness be bidness, life goes on.

Editorial from the Hazelton Standard-Speaker (here's a link (http://standardspeaker.com/sports/time-to-reinstate-paterno-s-wins-1.1749636), but they want $10 for the privilege of reading it):

Quote from: Diane CollinsLet's not pretend this is a miraculous outcome.

Everyone saw this coming.

Last year, when the NCAA greatly reduced the scholarship restrictions that were supposed to cripple Penn State's football program for the crime of standing a bit too close to Jerry Sandusky's evil, you started to hear the rumors. The NCAA's bowl ban on the Nittany Lions that was supposed to keep them out of postseason play through the 2015 season was on life support. Even then, we knew it wouldn't survive 2014.

Lo and behold Monday, on the recommendation of athletic integrity monitor George Mitchell, the former Democratic U.S. senator from Maine, Penn State got its bowl games back. Effective immediately.

It got its scholarships back, too. Every one of them. Effective at the start of the 2015 season.

Rest in peace, the punishment worse than death.

In the wake of the Freeh Report and with the college football world still outraged by Sandusky's actions, the NCAA wanted to make a statement back in 2012 when it punished Penn State for its handling of the Sandusky case. A bowl ban. Epic fines. Scholarship reductions that would bury the program for a decade. No doubt, NCAA president Mark Emmert and his executive committee intended to crush Penn State.

Problem is, for all the grandstanding what happened in State College, and all the fingers wagged and all the "Tsk tsks" shot the university's way, nobody at the NCAA could guarantee they'd have done things any differently.

Talk all you want about progress with the recommendations of the Freeh Report and obedience to a consent decree. That's why Penn State is essentially free and clear today.

Essentially and ironically, the NCAA shot the final bullet into this rotting, stinking corpse of a punishment last week, when it released its new policy on how athletic departments should handle reports of sexual assaults.

They titled the handbook "Addressing Sexual Assault and Interpersonal Violence," and basically, the NCAA executive committee determined that athletic departments should just stay out of sexual assault investigations. Really. Cooperate with authorities? Sure. But "manage, direct, control or interfere with" investigations? Absolutely not.

Let's say, for argument's sake, that this policy was in place back in November of 2011. Think Graham Spanier or Tim Curley or Gary Schultz would have any trouble arguing they were simply trying not to mange, direct, control or interfere with an investigation into Sandusky?

Let's also — you know, for the sake of argument — say this policy stood in place in 2001, when by every account of this horrific story Mike McQueary witnessed some kind of inappropriate behavior between Sandusky and a prepubescent boy in a shower stall at the Lasch Building. The then-graduate assistant coach told head coach Joe Paterno some version of that story the next day. What would the NCAA policy recommend Paterno do from there?

"Report immediately any suspected sexual violence to appropriate campus offices for investigation and adjudication," of course.

Which by any reasonable interpretation of accepted history is what Paterno did when he told Curley and Schultz, the university vice president who at the time oversaw the campus police department.

You can't make this stuff up, really.

Except, well, the NCAA did make this punishment up as it went along. Pandering, with force, to a justified public demand for answers. Looking to change its own image from an organization that slaps wrists for academic shortcomings, practically ignores recruiting violations and quite frankly has been making billions on the popularity of its student-athletes.

Now, the NCAA is in full retreat mode, practically admitting it can't even ask its members' athletic departments to act any differently than Penn State's did. It published a 50-page handbook on proper responses for athletic departments to suspected sexual assaults when five words would do: Call the police, damn it. For the NCAA, this isn't exactly the decisive display of leadership it expected from Penn State's athletic department two years ago.

Yet, as Penn State has been made almost entirely whole again, isn't it fair to think the NCAA hasn't done enough?

By its own standard, the NCAA has to hand back to Joe Paterno all the wins the sanctions took away from him. He has to have his win total restored to 409, and his name has to be etched on the top of the list of winningest coaches in big-time college football history. Whether you think Paterno did as much as he could to rid the streets of the Sandusky scourge is now no longer relevant. The NCAA says he did exactly what they'd ask anybody in his position to do.

The worst-kept secret in college football became a reality Monday. Except, the organization that, in unprecedented fashion, has stricken most every sanction in arguably the most harsh penalty it has ever handed out has strangely been mum on whether it will do what it can to make Paterno whole again. Connect the dots they drew on the page, and it's easy to see they have an obligation to do just that.

So much for a punishment worse than the Death Penalty being used to straighten up a wayward football program. The only mess cleaned up at the end of the day is the one made by Mark Emmert, and there is still some mopping to do.

I'm interested in seeing Igy and Temple Todd's reaction to this.

penn state needs to realize their place in cfb....they have a chance to be maybe a notch above a program like wisconsin....where every once in a while you have a dream season and win the big ten....maybe its because a couple recruiting classes exceeded expectations or because michigan and/or ohio had a down year....but they aren't winning a natty ever again and the big ten conf. title is gonna be once a decade...what may change this is if Michigan never gets back to their glory....maybe like penn state they are permanently more of a northern regional type power rather than a national player....if that happens then penn state perhaps wins a couple big ten titles every decade

QuoteTeddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune writes that the College Football Playoff committee must surely be rooting for Penn State to lose to Wisconsin, as it would make the selection process that much easier.

While PSU fan bitching will certainly be much, much greater if PSU wins, I don't think it would change the outcome of the selection process.

Now, if Washington or Clemson loses, that would make the selection process more difficult.

People are saying well OSU beat 3 top 10 teams...well PSU beat 2, and won the toughest conference in college football. They have zero shot at beating Bama but they 100% belong in the playoffs. People point to the Michigan game as why they don't belong, they were out of LBs and playing safeties/D lineman at the position and this is a totally different team. That loss was 2 freakin months ago too.

He was horrible not just throwing the ball but on running and throwing reads. Not that they shouldn't lean on Barkley but he was his safety outlet on what seemed like 90% of the plays. A lot of the credit has to go to Iowa too, they had a consistent pass rush that forced Mcsorley to get rid of the ball before a play could develop, and when there was an open receiver they had their hands up blocking his throwing lane and knocking down passes.

Post by: SD on October 29, 2017, 10:55:24 AM
They should have scratched the read option from the playbook. The D was in the backfield before the play could develop. Just call a straight run play to neutralize the pass rush. You might get an overpursuing D and Barkley could hit a seam and go. Deasean Hamilton should have been a bigger part of the game plan. Quick passing plays were working. Poor play calling.

But credit OSU, Barrett played his ass off and their DLine simply took over the game.

It was a called RPO. So yeah the play call gave McSorley the option to hand it off. Makes sense on 2nd and 5 in the third quarter, makes zero sense on 4th and 5 with the game on the line against a superior line that had bottled up Sanders the whole game.

At the same time, the offensive line did get confused and didn't have anything really blocked up, so the three options built into the play all would have failed. Doomed play call from the start.
Title: Re: Thread for Hippos to mock Penn State
Post by: ice grillin you on September 30, 2018, 11:06:31 AM
it wasnt an rpo...that's a straight run to me...unless you count every play Penn State runs an rpo cause they are never under center

in fact if it was an rpo then franklin should get no blame...almost every Penn State 3rd and long even if it's a +10 has Sanders next to Mcsorely and the play begins with fake handoff...that's not their rpo's

this was franklin overthinking things and trying to catch Ohio state off guard by gashing them up the gut
Title: Re: Thread for Hippos to mock Penn State
Post by: Rome on September 30, 2018, 11:17:05 AM
If that was an RPO and McSorley didn't pick the pass option with the way the defense was stacked, that's a big mistake on his part.  I don't think it was either.  Franklin went with the run all the way trying to catch Meyer off guard, and it failed miserably. 

And Franklin's post-game excusefest was embarrassing too.

Title: Re: Thread for Hippos to mock Penn State
Post by: QB Eagles on September 30, 2018, 12:05:37 PM
We'll see if Franklin explains it more. From where I sit, it's a pre-snap RPO where the pass option is a screen. The screen to #12 wasn't there (likely would have gone there if OSU had 8 in the box), so going into the snap, it's handoff or keep.

Right before the snap the OSU LBs shifted toward where McSorley would have run and threw everything into disarray. Multiple linemen whiffed on their blocks because they weren't sure about what to do.

It's a terrible play call because they called a play with zero ability to throw the ball near or beyond the line to gain on the critical play in the game. It's a call that didn't give McSorley any opportunity to create. I'm skeptical Franklin would have made the call if he knew going into it that the ball was going to Sanders, but either way that's what the defense dictated, so it was terrible. Still had a chance to work if #71 gets a hand on his man but PSU wasn't really in a position to assume they will make all their blocks.

4th and 5
You have a Heisman hopeful under center.
You call for a play that, whether the original intent or not, ends up giving the ball to a runner who had barely averaged half the yardage you needed all night.
And you took two of your own timeouts, sandwiching one of OSU's, to come up with this.
Classic case of Franklin trying to out-think Meyer, only to end up out-thinking himself.

What's your tier criteria? If it's top 10 they've finished inside the top 10 2 of the last 3 seasons and have been ranked in the top 5 a handful of times. They're a top 10 team this season and probably headed for the Rose Bowl. If your top tier criteria is elite team like Bama/the Ohio State they're definitely not in that class.

The other thing that's pretty amazing is that the evolving story about Bo Schembechler sounds way worse than what happened with Paterno, and the number of boosters still trying to keep a lid on it seems higher too. The media also seems utterly disinterested compared to the firestorm over Penn State and Paterno.

I say this as a Michigan grad with no love for Penn State.

The Schembechler thing seems legit awful but I'm really not sure anyone can say it's worse than Sandusky. Or even close.

Still. Watching yet another fan base/alumni group try to hush up some horrific football-factory-program shtein is a reminder that people are the farging worst.

I dunno man. The PSU cover-up charges have been basically thrown out by the court system and most of what Sandusky did was done after he was no longer employed there. The man himself was disgusting but the case against the school seems weaker to me than against UM.

Michigan was employing a guy who molested people for decades in the course of his job as a Michigan team doctor. Schembechler's own son told his dad he was molested by the team doctor, and Bo's response was to beat the shtein out of his son.

Sandusky raped his own adopted son.

The institutional issues are real but given the bottomless layers of protection that these programs enjoy I don't think we'll ever be able to say that one horrific, systemic criminal coverup committed by a football program is better, or meaningfully different, than another.

Post by: Diomedes on July 16, 2021, 10:07:19 PM
Fair point.  It's a hard call which is worse, beating up your own child for telling you he was being molested, or raping someone else's child that's in your care.

I'm comfortable with calling both cases horrible.

But I have a gadfly instinct that wants to say some horribles are actually worse than others.  I mean, I can't put them on a scientific scale, but I don't go for the idea that once it's beyond the pale, it's all the same.  The depths are unfathomed.  The worst is yet to come.

Penn State's white hot recruiting summer continued on Thursday, as the Nittany Lions picked up their 11th commitment since July 3. The latest to join the nation's No. 2 recruiting class was Argyle (Texas) Liberty Christian athlete Cristian Driver, who announced his commitment live on CBSSports HQ.

The four-star prospect is the son of former NFL wide receiver Donald Driver, a Pro Bowler with the Green Bay Packers. The older Driver was coached by James Franklin for one season with the Packers in 2005.

Franklin has led his teams to three Top 10 finishes (3 at Penn State) and six Top 25 finishes (2 at Vanderbilt; 4 at Penn State).
In the last five seasons under Franklin, Penn State is one of six teams to rank in the top 12 of the CFP final rankings at least four times.
From 2016-19, Franklin led the Nittany Lions to three New Year's Six bowls - 2016 (Rose), 2017 (Fiesta) and 2019 (Cotton) - making Penn State one of eight teams to accomplish the feat during the four-year span. It also marked the first time Penn State as a program went to three New Year's Six bowls in four years since 1980-83 (1980 Fiesta, 1982 Fiesta ,1983 Sugar).
Franklin's squads won two New Year's Six bowl games in a three-year span (2017-19), making the Nittany Lions one of seven teams to do so. It also marked the first time PSU has won two New Year's Six bowl games in a three-year span since 1995 (Rose) and 1997 (Fiesta).
Franklin guided Penn State to back-to-back New Year's Six bowls in 2016 (Rose) and 2017 (Fiesta) for the first time since 1985 (Orange) and 1986 (Fiesta).
Penn State was ranked in the AP Top 25 for the 63 consecutive polls in which it was eligible from 2016-20, marking the third-longest streak in program history and longest streak since 1993-2000 when PSU was ranked for 121-straight weeks.
From 2016-19, Franklin led Penn State to 42 wins, the most in program history for the Big Ten era in a four-year span, and 28 league wins, a program record.
