“Penn State wasn’t the final nail in the coffin for me (Jameis Winston holds that honor)...”

I’m a Temple alum. As soon as I heard that they were honoring Joe Pa against us I was like, “oh, I know why they did that.” But, in Temple’s defense. They’re not going to honor Cosby ever again.

About the tattoo scandal—this has bothered me for some time. How is it that like 30% of college football players leave college with about $10k worth of ink, and nobody wonders where the money came from?

And statues of six coaches standing there watching.

Honestly, there were some weird vague rumors with something about Sandusky, but by the time I was there, Sandusky wasn’t any more relevant than Todd Blacklidge or Franco Harris so it was mostly ignored as a conspiracy theory. The weird thing is that now these are mostly the people defending PSU/Joe Pa.

chicks love the luudes, even before they know it

Should actually be behind it, so Paterno is forever turning his back to it.

Or put the Sandusky statue right behind Paterno’s.

I think the death penalty is completely appropriate to give now—not because of Joe or Sandusky—but because of the PSU fans.

You can cheer, but the team still actively supporting an enabler says volumes about where their moral compass is at. It’s the same reason I don’t really care much for football anymore: Way too much morally repugnant shit allowed to go unpunished in the name of winning.

You’re free to root for who you want, but I don’t see why you’d want to root for a team that actively honors a man allowed children to be sexually assaulted for decades because he considered that preferable to embarrassing his program.

Ohio State: 1 year bowl ban for free tattoos, Penn state: 4 year bowl ban for harboring a child rapist. So I guess child molesting is only 4x as bad as a free tattoo? Fuck the NCAA and their spinelessness in this case.

Were there any rumblings of this scandal while you were there? Any strange rumors, or a feeling that something was about to surface?

Not until the school stops “honoring” him and the cult members stop with the “He was innocent” bullshit. Otherwise any mention of the school and/or football team brings that crap out again and again.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression the NCAA has some sense of shame or proportionality.

In honor of JoePa they should take a 26 year moment of silence.

Ohio State might as well start openly paying players, the NCAA can’t do anything more than a 4 year bowl ban after Penn State.

I attended every home game from 1984 to 1996. From first grade until I went if to college. I can’t imagine supporting them ever again. Especially when they still clearly don’t get it, even in hindsight.

I don’t think turning your back anytime at Penn State is a prudent idea.

As a Penn state grad (class of 09), I just want to say fuck these people. I can’t even watch a PSU football game anymore because of the whole situation and it’s mostly because of the embarrassing apologists.
