Anyone know what this is in response to?
MichelleDBeadle Michelle Beadle
That kid was a stud. Get him to a safe place. Not often young kids stare opposing viewpoints down. 2 bad he was surrounded by "we r Penn St"
I'm assuming the kid that was on ESPN that said Joe Pa could've done more.
-
Jesus, these kids are idiots.
-
are we going to need a Wisconsin forum now?
Well, it only makes sense.

huskeraddict,
Thanks, I know what you mean, I have mixed feelings on the video. First, I feel Jo Pa does feel for the victims as he mentioned, but in the next breath he yelling "We are Penn State."
Strange and disturbing..
I think a large portion of their fans are obviously delusional or have no morals. Here's an interesting quote from SI. Alex Fakhraee, you sir are a f'ing idiot. This crap has me fuming.
Alex Fakhraee, 19, of Ambler, Pa., said it might be time for the 84-year-old Paterno to go. But his concerns have more to do with the direction of the program under JoePa's leadership than the scandal.
"I'm sure it's going to affect our image in some way," Fakhraee said outside the union. "From what I know, he knew about it and he reported it. After that I feel it's not his obligation. He's just here to coach the football team."

That's what Liberal indoctrination does to minds that fathers haven't instilled any sort of morality in!!!!
That, or when you build a cult of personality around a God-like presence.

How about this gem from Joe Pa:
"the kids that were victims or whatever they want to say..."
-
Just unbelievable. Absolutely appalling.

I f'ing hate Minnesota.
What is this "Minnesota" you speak of?
A sad little principality that carved themselves out from the Dakotas.

He won't be in the stadium this weekend I can just about guarantee you.
His son Scott has said he will in fact be in the stadium and will actually be on the sideline.
I kid you not.

Can't really get into it this week. Sorry guys.

Not sure how Wisconsin could be going to the Rose Bowl at this point. Ohio State would have to lose again, and Penn State would have to lose all three games for them to make it. (Possibly PSU has to only lose two)
No, PSU only has to lose one before they play Wisconsin in the last game of the year. If Wisconsin beats them, they would then have the head-to-head tiebreaker over Penn State. They would still need OSU to lose one more game, however. It's certainly a realistic scenario.
-
Certainly that statement was. It's embarrassing and I say this as a PSU fan. Did Paterno even read it or have anything to do with crafting it? Your guess is as good as mine but I'm guessing no. That's how out of control this program is...most PSU fans I know think Paterno should have retired 15 years ago and by refusing to do so has in effect been holding the program hostage ever since. Frankly, I'm sick of the guy. He was a wonderful coach and mentor. He's a legend of the game, with good reason. But there's a time to move on and if you can't accept that and do so you become a charichature of yourself. Paterno is 84. He should be touring cathedrals in Italy, not pretending to coach a program he has no control over from a coaches box.
There are two groups I feel for in this. First and foremost its got to be the victims of these horrible crimes. It's a shame this wasn't addressed sooner, hopefully there will be something approaching justice coming out of this and they can somehow live their lives a little more comfortably. These kids were failed by people that should've saved them, in my mind that GA and anyone else who didn't report it is just as guilty as the molester for enabling him.
The second group I feel for (much less than the victims but still) are PSU fans. We CFB fans, the real ones, can't control our love for our schools. We didn't choose them, it happened and we're in it for life, even if we have next to no control over the programs...and then sh#t likes this happens. As a fan its just got to wreck you.
How about the PSU players? They're going to be the ones heckled for years to come about something they had no control over.
Wait. Are you suggesting that because Penn State employed a coach who it sure looks like was a child abuser that Wisconsin fans will heckle Penn State players going forward calling them child abusers? Is that seriously your point?
Yes, that was seriously my point.
Right or wrong, to think that Penn State won't get heckled for years to come over this is wishful thinking.

Please beat them. Thank you.

Am I missing something here or didn't I read that he was told about the rape of the 10 year old boy?
Your right how more "specific" do you get when you tell a coach that another one had a little kid in the shower???!!!WTF I would like to see how the local media is reacting out there or even in there forums.
You have your typical apologists acting like Paterno is still as pure as the driven snow, but for the most part, they're just as disgusted as everyone else.
-
Not even going to read it.
All it likely is is some hot-air answer from a high-paid PR consultant.
-
Paterno, Curley, and all others involved in this situation should resign, and the sooner the better. That's just the first step in a long line of them.
-
Paterno won't get fired, and definitely not in the middle of the season, for this. If they haven't fired him already they're not going to do it because this article came out. PSU has known about this investigation since at least March, 2011.
EDIT - looks like this investigation has been going on for about two years.
Paterno won't get fired unless something ugly is revealed during the trial. I don't even want to think of what could be revealed during the trial.
If the public demands it they will most defiantly fire any and all with knowledge. Just look at the fan-base in Nebraska and how they react over athletics notwithstanding a real crime. Not even the liberal media can cover up this disgusting mess!
Do you really have to make a terrible story like this into a political situation?
BTW where I live not a whole lot of coverage on this story. In my humble opinion this warrants coverage regardless of anyone's journalistic bias's. If this were to happen to any college in the Midwest I think it would get non-stop coverage.IMHO
Well, I agree with you to an extent. I'm not sure how this isn't the front-page story on ESPN, SI, etc.

TRUTH IS TRUTH, and you are the only one turning it into that, sir.
Come on man. This is about an athletic director, not political stances. There's no "truth" there, just political conjecture.

JoePa loses a lot of respect in my book.

Hate to be that guy but...
"Lost amdi the hype of the game of the year is the reality of the year: The SEC is no longer college football's best conference."
Really? A spelling error in the first sentance?
Your sentiments seem to be echoed in the comments...
-
And the Big Ten is mediocre. I'm not sure that a bunch of average teams is really better than a top-heavy conference with elite teams.
-
The real question is, where are the Northwestern fans in general?
But seriously, you probably won't get many on here like Badgerfan said. They don't have that big of a message board presence around the Big Ten, although WildcatReport isn't the worst board you could find.

Wrong. So wrong. McQueary told him what happened in excruciating detail.
