Thank you for this. It was driving me crazy what he was saying after all the "fuck yeah's!"

Hell yes. NHL on ESPN is by far the best theme song ever. I can still remember the entire damn thing, even though I was but a wee lad when it was at its peak.

It's fucking pathetic how this administration and Board just cowers in fear and caves without a fight to anything the big bad NCAA tells it. No matter how little jurisdiction the NCAA has in any of it.

Awesome. +1

How many more sanctions will dickbag Emmert levy against PSU after they go 7-5 this season?

Have no fear, UFC 151 has been canceled!

Being the most powerful man in the state certainly helps!

Correct. The NCAA has turned college football into a monster that many universities are having trouble controlling and prioritizing, which the NCAA then turns around and blames the schools for.

Perhaps I should've made the "single out PSU" more prominent. You mean to tell me if this happened at Notre Dame/Texas/OSU/any SEC school, that the same protest and media vitriol wouldn't have happened? Really? You must not pay attention to college football then.

Yeah this was way better than my post. Well done sir.

Might as well add my two cents since I occasionally go on crusades about this topic here...

Indeed, this was solid. No snark or bias. Sadly it doesn't seem like there are too many new facts that will come to light with this book, but a nice summary nonetheless.

Interesting take. I think there are reasonable answers though.

Well said. Though for as much as I've bitched about Deadspin's coverage of the scandal, I think this was a reasonable article and not sensationalist or whatever.

I think he gave fucking Magic Mike a B+. Amazing. It was also a few days after he gave Ted something like a D-. I just don't understand movie critics. They watch completely different versions of movies than the rest of the world.

Wow. By paragraph, you went from:

Ha, well I'm a mechanical engineer so I chose to focus on math and science over where my prepositions are placed. Sick burn though.

Nowhere did I claim to be impartial. I'm an alum. An alum who's tired of lazy and pointless stories like this shitting on the school that I like and got a great education from.

PREACH.
