I think we should try to remember a few common sense facts;
Men and women in all aspects of the media that is building up this story are doing so for ONE reason, money. Enough $$ to lie about??
People lie; they lie all of the time. (except for Paterno, I still believe Joe didn't fail and until I learn he lied. I will continue to support him. I have yet to learn anything that has changed my mind. I have learned a lot of negative things about the cast of characters Penn State is all about. There is a lot more going on here. Gov. Corbett looks guilty of something. The fact that Curley, Schultz and Spanier spent that much time before acting is unbelievable. Any longer than 15 minutes fails my morality test. The more all this other activity is becoming known it is more likely the scenario that they all kept it from Joe is true.
This is straight delusion and not-unique or the minority. It's insane.

They're making room for ND.

If they consider kicking PSU out you would have to assume they would know they could quickly fill that void. The logical answer is to get ND into the conference.

Well, that's the rational thought process. Then there's the irrational Pedster thought process.

Getting the boot from the Big 10 would be the start of good things, finally.
How would a conference made up of PSU, ND and others sound? Tell me the other conference's wouldn't cringe...

Only because ND is full on retard and doesn't want to be in a conference. Other teams they would consider could be endless. They did get Nebraska after all.

the idea that there are people still holding a vigil at the Paterno statue (for anything other than the child victims at least) is the best argument I've seen for the Death Penalty
I've been saying the school needs to suspend football to send the message that this cult society is done for good. The NCAA giving the DP seems like an outsider coming in to their cultish closed society. If PSU wants to rehab their image, they have to suspend football themselves to bust up the sick North Korean-like society, with JoePa as the "Supreme Leader." It's disgusting.

No, which is why I've stopped responding to posts making outlandish, unprovable claims. I hope other posters see how ridiculous it is to make claims like that. Someone last night made a great observation. Picking posts that look bad to serve your agenda of suggesting all PSU fans are pedo supporters is the same as saying the tiger rant represents how all LSU fans are. It obviously isn't a proper representation and only a small number of fans (the vocal minority).
PSU alumni numbers are around 600 thousand right now, with another 18,000 active students. It's why posts like that aren't really worthy of a response. I just hope other people see the lack of logic and rationale behind it.

I'm sorry to tell you, but if you let the vocal minority speak for the alumni base...it makes the base seem like they agree with their comments.
Denounce them, have the alumni group, and student government denounce them. But you haven't. Those groups are the ones helping to spew the cultish rhetoric.
Hell as early as last week you were part of that vocal minority.

silence is passive concession of agreement.
They are too coward to denounce them, or too coward to speak up and agree with them.
Either way, they're cowards.

No I was not. I've never defended JoePa or thought it was right to hold vigils or any of that other nonsense. My only posts were trying to understand what the hell would drive people to act like that. I've never defended them. The only other problem I had was that I believed that some if the responses in these threads have been too harsh. Calling for the school to close, 10 years of no football, etc. were knee jerk responses that never made any sense. The only thing I've done is move toward a quicker and more strict response by the university. And I've always supported the statue coming down.

You never do...its like people that call to get a show canceled or comedian in trouble, etc...the.vocal minority leads the.charge while most normal people don't take time to write, call, etc.
Btw...if I say hey during the hey song does that make me pro pedo? I mean that song gets played every game and he would fly across world to frick kids

I've been saying the same sort of thing for a while now...now the rest of the country is starting to see it too...
you start with the location, insularity, and lack of outside accountability of penn state...
then you add a cult like reverence for someone who is the absolute power behind the scenes of everything that goes on there...
another outcome you may see out of all of this is a mandatory retirement age for all coaches...think about it, Eddie Robinson was forced to retire by state personnel rules...
how much better off would penn state have been if paterno would have been forced to retire at age 74 or 75...

This is a great idea.
