re: the Penn st. delusion is just scary

I was born an raised here in good ole Louisiana, still live and work here, received an undergrad from LSU, an undergrad degree from UNO, and an upper level degree from Penn State.
And I have to say that what I've seen posted here is some of the biggest hypocritical, pot calling the kettle black nonsense I've seen in a long time. Plenty of PSU students and alumni have some strange fascination with JoePa and I agree that it can be strange, but have you ever been to the Tiger Rant or LSU campus grounds on game day? It's no less cult like than some of the crazy attachment people have with JoePa. Anyone that says otherwise is delusional and probably part of the LSU cult.
And this is a huge sickening story so of course wackos are going to make the news. They need to just remove the statue and get it over with. It's time for the university to move forward without JoePa, push the agenda of the victim's healing, and show how they are going to prevent this from happening again.

Yes, lsu fans are fanatical, but if les miles did something like this, people would want him run off.

+1. I know this isn't exactly a forum that is going to display well thought out arguments, but some of the shite people have posted over the past few days is beyond ignorant. It seems like some posters are bending over backwards to show how against child molestation they are. Guess what? Everyone is against it. But evidently that doesnt go far enough. You see posts like "Death penalty? They should burn the whole fricking school to the ground" and "anyone who supports Joe Paterno is just as bad as Sandusky."
The articles have said that the statue is staying up FOR NOW. I would be surprised if it stays up for good. I would guess they will give people in the community time to argue their points for why it should/ shouldn't come down. Like it or not, Paterno was a huge part of that community for a long time. I don't think he deserves anyone's respect but I don't know that the world is going to end because the statue hasn't come down three days after the Freeh report.

I completely disagree. LSU fans want to fire their coach after every single loss. Penn State students RIOTED when their coach was fired after a horrific scandal. Huge difference in cultures.
It may be comforting to Penn State folks to say that every other football school is the same, but they're wrong. Penn State was a unique situation in the world of college football.
Most big football schools have an identity and culture outside of football. Penn State's identity and culture revolved completely around football, and specifically around St. Joe. Not many of us can relate to that.

Have you seen The Rant in full meltdown mode? If LSU so much as runs the wrong Goddamned play on Saturday night the rantards will eat their own children in disgust. Our fanbase is famously critical. I'm not saying that we don't have eternal optimists, but they are damned sure hard to find when something goes wrong. Imagine what would happen if one of our coaches started handling children at football camps. I think the response on the Rant would be 10x's worse than the short side option meltdowns.

Does not compute. The Rant does not represent the majority of LSU fans, not close. LSU does not have a "legend" as coach, but a few Miles fans would indeed defend him at all costs, like the many fans on the Rant. The majority would run his arse out.

There's a difference between football obsessions like the SEC and the cult that is Penn State. Don't even try to defend the people who rioted for Joe Paterno, like the kids didn't even matter.

There were lsu fans who wanted miles gone after losing in the national championship game. The penn state delusion is a result of joe pa being there 60+ years. They don't know anything else. The comparison of this happening at penn state vs lsu or any other school is a serious reach. The majority of the penn state family is completely delusional and blind to the magnitude of the situation. It is quite disturbing.

Ehh child rape is on another level. Id be glad to send les miles or nick saban packing. frick i would send them packing if we ever got caught with serious infractions leading to post season ban or forfeit of games. Penn State fans are sick for joe pa. i understand why, but they are living in delusion.

:deflect....deflect....deflect:
If this thing happened at LSU, I'd want every person involved to be imprisoned for life and LSU would get all of the negativity that comes with it.
I believe with everything in me that LSU nor Miles would allow this to happen and you could never convince me otherwise.
