  1. WoW!!! How did this become political? I don't really believe there is any liberal media trying to "cover up this mess". Liberals may not be real smart, but I don't think they support child molestation (except the pervs in NMBLA and that A-hole in Obama's department of education)

     

    All I was trying to say is since Friday I haven't heard zilch on any college sports broadcast. I haven't watched NFL today but I don't know. But, if this happened at Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, or even Nebraska it would be NON-STOP media coverage. I think this does warrant maxium coverage because the heinousness of the crime. I mean for crying out loud HE GOT OUT ON $100,000 BAIL??!!!WTF That stuff wouldn't of flied even if it happened at UT, TAMU, or Baylor for that matter. He would have been held without bond, pending hearing, and it sure as hell wouldn't have been $100,000 bond. A million at the least.

     

    Maybe you haven't heard anything because this is something that those broadcasts are trying to avoid. It's not because of some liberal bias, it's because rape of children isn't something that they want to bring up during a broadcast. This story is being covered by legit news outlets. Let ESPN stick to crappy sports reporting.

    "I understand that people are upset and angry, but let's be fair and let the legal process unfold," Paterno said in the statement. "(Written by his son) Getting worse, now in this article they say the statue of limitations is up for the charge and it only applies for "direct contact" with a child, and the university is paying the legal costs and bail for the AD an other people. IMHO there is no legal process for child rape, with eye witnesses and children that have come forth. This is what happens when you don't tell someone its there time to go. That being said, I agree with your statement about bringing it up on the broadcast, but like I said if it were a Midwest college it would be WAY different.

     

    I think it would be the exact same. The fact is that ESPN probably doesn't want to give the story much coverage because it's so controversial.

     

    P.S. I hope everyone who let this happen is put in jail for the rest of their lives. Death, for the guy who actually committed the rape.

     

     

    I hear you, I just can't fathom a human being or beings trying to weasel there way out of this and plead innocent. I mean its worse than the BTK killer who was a boy scout leader and Deacon at a church. The only logical reason I can think of is demonic possession or something. That is why I don't trust my kid with NO ONE. Not even family, church, whatever because I wouldn't want my kid growing up without a father in prison for killing a man.

  4. 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?

     

    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.

     

     

    and BTW its about a COACH who did it, and an AD and staff who did not report it. So you already got your facts screwed up.

    There is! All one has to do is be objective with no dog in the fight and look at both sides reporting to come to an educated informed opinion. Also, if that's the case then I don't want to hear any crap about ESPN, OWH, FSSW, or any other media outlet being biased against the Huskers. Because in your world there is no "truth" to it.

    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

  8. Beck takes what the defense was giving him...which came in the passing game. Sometimes the runs not going to be there. And you have to be able to pass, which he called, and which Taylor did well. I was hoping he would've called a few more passes, but I don't think it was his playcalling that did us in.

     

    We lost because we coughed it up twice, dropped 5 passes and didn't execute defensively. Those are things you can blame Beck on, right...

     

    And fumbled after catching passes.....

     

    Agree that Beck's hands were to a large degree tied. No Oline push (at all) resulting in zero running game, wrs dropping balls all over the place.....not easy.

     

    Certainly agree with BigWillie that the option needs to be dumped as it simply doesn't work as we play it and SuperRex isn't a speedster to boot. If we "must" use it bring in one of the triplets for it to have any kind of chance.

     

    Rough damn game.

     

    GBR!!

     

     

    Funny, I thought I recalled LSU and Alabama running option pretty frequently last night.

    This guy is so sick minded and evil he had the audacity when committing these acts to authorize his book to be called "Touched"? He is not going to be able to go out in public if he doesn't commits suicide first.

  11. Not to justify this in any way, as it is completely sick and I would like to be first in line to watch Sandusky burn in hell, but WTF is a 10-year-old doing alone in a university athletic locker room with a coach at 9:30pm?! Where the hell are these f'ing parents at?!? It would make a little sense if Sandusky was an uncle or grandfather, but since it happened to eight boys, I'm seriously doubting any of them were family.

     

    It's a foregone conclusion what a monster this sick-ass non-human worm is...but if I'm a parent of a 10-year old, I'm damn well going to know that he's NOT roaming around a college campus by himself late (by 10-yr old standards) on a Friday night.

     

     

    He was preying on kids who came from broken homes who probably were single parents. They were also from his own foundation. Which means his non-profit was disguised as a child molestation call service, which makes this all the more heinous. The other guys arrested looked like predators and I wouldn't be surprised if more than one person besides Sandusky was involved with all this.

  12. JoePa loses a lot of respect in my book.

     

    +1!!!For some reason I confused Michigan with Penn on the schedule this week. Joe Pa might make it to the game after all. After seeing him last week and the promotion of breaking the record and ensuing media frenzy. All the while this investigation was going on. His image is tarnished now, so is there athletics program if they don't fire the AD and others that covered this up.

  13. Husker Players and Coaches: As a fan, I'm dissapointed in the loss, but I can't imagine how you must be feeling. You worked for years just to get on the team. You prepare and train for every game day. You juggle school and football and try to also have a life. You suffer (and play) through injuries that would send me to the doctor begging for a vicodin necklace that I could lick on all day. All I do is pull on my sweatshirt, make a pot of chili, and sit in front of the tv or in the stands at the stadium.

     

    Yet as a fan, I'm totally into you. I know your names, faces, where you went to high school, how fast you can run, what your major is, and if your parents attend the games. I root for you every Saturday, not only as a team, but as individuals. Yeah, I'm into you. And sometimes like the stalker girlfriend I am, I get too into the you. I say stupid stuff. I'm harsh in my critisisms. I forget that you are people with your own feelings. I kick you when you are down because I'm down. Forgive me when I do that and realize that I'm probably drunk and/or temporarily insane when that happens. Thankfully, it doesn't happen often.

     

    I love watching you play. As a team and as individuals, I love watching you develop and make the most of your opportunites. Shake this loss off, easier said than done, I know. But shake it off. Go to class this week. Kiss your girlfriend. Joke with your friends. Prepare for the next team, make the most of the next opportunity.

     

    I support you - win or lose. Husker Nation supports you - win or lose.

     

     

     

     

    Then come back on Saturday and kick the crap out of Penn State while we all cheer like crazy for you!

     

    You are a great addition to HuskerBoard Calla. Thank you for your Red to the Bones thread. It seems that we have aquired far too many members who don't bleed RED when injured, They bleed pink. Shame on them.

  14. When you read a report like this the entire concept of sport or football becomes meaningless. If the facts of the case are that a member of the Penn State staff forced a child to preform a sex act, and someone who knew or should have known did not immediately do everything in their power to see the predator brought to the authorities, they should burn in hell. Their athletic department and football program can burn with them.

     

    If something like this broke about Bo or one of the members of our staff...I can't even imagine. If it turned out that there was the slightest effort to cover up or delay further investigation, I would rather see Nebraska football end than see that kind of disgusting crime go unpunished.

     

     

    I second this!!!

  15. Don't crucify someone unless you can raise them from the dead. It is just a game folks. Some fans on here remind me of the same 5,000 people that Jesus fed by miracles were also the same that called for his crucifixion. FWIW.

    :thumbs

     

    Can you hear them...instead of saying give us Barabbas, they are saying GIVE US CALLAGHAN!!! :rollin

  16. My prediction: Bo will continue to do just a good enough job (9-3, 10-2) in the regular season to keep his job a few more years. We will not make a BCS bowl with Bo as HC, barring some very flukey happenings, because Bo's teams will be outcoached in at least two games a year (often against opponents with losing records) and we will get to spend the next few years watching him not learn on the job.

     

    Then the new HC comes in, takes 3-4 years to get HIS program going; boom, there goes your decade, and it could be longer if Bo's eventual replacement isn't any better.

     

    In the meantime, Husker fans, get used to this scintillating selection of bowl games:

    I would love - love - to be proved wrong the next few years. But I'm not very hopeful.

     

     

     

    :facepalm:

  17. In June of 1970, Bill Veeck, a renegade baseball owner, took the stand for the plaintiff in the case of Flood v. Kuhn, in which St. Louis Cardinal outfielder Curt Flood essentially sued major league baseball to break the power of the "reserve system," a pernicious practice that bound a player to one team for as long as that one team wanted to keep him. It was this system of, at best, involuntary servitude on which the business of baseball had remained a rigged game in favor of management for over a century.

     

    Veeck thought the system doomed. Sooner or later, he believed, a judge, or somebody else in authority that didn't give a damn about sitting in the owner's box for Opening Day, was going to get a good look at the system. That person probably then would spend four or five minutes laughing so hard that they nearly fainted, and then that person would throw out the whole system for the fraud that it was. Better to eliminate the reserve system gradually, Veeck testified. (He recommended a system of seven-year contracts, much like the system that had prevailed at one time in Hollywood.) That way, he thought, the owners could control the transition between the reserve system and whatever came next. Veeck also pointed out that the reserve system, as it was practiced at the time, ran counter to some cherished American beliefs about the country's values.

    Good read. The point about college costs is valid, you would have thought the "occupiers" would have figured this out by now.
