penn state........

[Robert Goren]

If anyone thinks that Paterno has ounce of integrity, they have been decieved. If nothing else comes of this case, it has exposed one biggest phonies in the history of college football. People like Franco Harris should stop and think about what fools they are when they say things like that

[Marshall Bennett]

This is an awful stain that will stay with Penn St. forever. How anyone with even an ounce of moral fiber can condone what went on there amazes me. All involved in covering up this horrible crime including Paterno should go down and serve the maximum. It's a terrible shame that our society has sunk to the level where there are those that think this is okay and poor Paterno is being mistreated. He's a rat like the rest of those involved and deserves to be punished like the rest of them. Shame on those at Penn St. that are sympathetic towards him. They're just part of the rat's nest.
Personally, I never was a fan of Penn St. football anyway. Something about their program never smell right, and long before this happened.
Well, they're in a world of shit now. Hope they adjust to the smell there because they'll likely be there a while, if not forever.

[Valuist]

Franco Harris= pathetic, brain dead moron.

What's even worse is one former player, some old guy from the 50s, trying to get money together for Sandusky's defense. All I can say is, if you haven't read the full grand jury report I posted earlier in this thread, read it and then you will realize there is NO defending any of these living tumors.

This is why Penn's football program should be blown-up! Lives of those victimized should matter to all of us and its an important message to all that such conduct will never be tolerated.

What happened here is pure evil

Agree 100% - Penn state should be denied a male football program for 10 years.

Finally a voice of reason

God help us if we have to run to a "confidant" for advice, when we see a 10-year old kid getting raped by a 60 year old man.

[woodtoo]

IMHO They should end their season NOW.

When the kickoff takes place in 20 minutes or so, the culmination of a total disgrace will begin.

SMU got the death penalty for a whole lot less. While folks will say, well it wasn't the players at Penn St. at fault, the same could have been said with the players at SMU at the time their penalty was handed down. They were still in high school.
It's too bad their game today is even televised, and I hope the Huskers give them their worse beating ever. Would only seem appropriate.

This post might help the Franco Harris's of the world understand.....

These ****ing cowards acted like they had seen someone smoking a cigarette in a non-smoking building and went and told their dads or their supervisor. This a serious, serious crime, and one of the most heinous and disgusting crimes imaginable.

And Franco Harris sounds like a God damn idiot and would do well to never speak in public again. "Why would they bring the moral into the legal? Now, everyone gets to interpret in their own way. That's what really bothers me: Joe did what was right for him to do. He forwarded the information to his superiors. That's the legal procedure at Penn State." Really, idiot? Why bring the moral into the legal? Um, pretty sure that's what most of our laws are based on.

For example, murder is illegal because it is MORALLY wrong. Same with rape, which is what we're talking about here. And the "legal procedure at Penn State?" Again asshat, the legal procedure at Penn State doesn't trump the legal procedure of the state.

Sandusky and the boys will learn that soon enough. My hope is that Sandusky gets the chair and that several others get prison time.

[Marshall Bennett]

And by the way....all those kids in the stands wearing those Joe Paterno sweat shirts need to go back to grade school and learn some moral values.
Fkn idiots!!!

Damage control is hard at work by alums and students. Reactions are more effective when not tearing down property and yelling outside JoePa's residence. Hindsight being 20/20 and all.

Good luck in turning things around so quickly; impressing those bodies and departments I spoke of around 2am this morning.

Also, today's game will not see as many navy Penn State sweatshirts as students and alums will be wearing their newly printed, newly purchased, STOP CHILD ABUSE tshirts, which sold for $9.95 which after cost, all proceeds will go to Prevent Child Abuse PA.

BLUE OUT TSHIRT: McLanahan's will have a "Stop Child Abuse, Blue Out Nebraska" tshirt on sale for $9.99 in their stores and online. 100% of the proceeds made (after costs) will go to Prevent Child Abuse PA. Thanks, McLanahan's! http://www.pennstateroom.com/product-detail/2973

-->If purchasing merchandise from another store with blue ribbons on it, please make sure that tall the proceeds are being given to charity.

In light of the numerous counts of alleged sexual abuse recently charged against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, wear blue to the Nebraska game to support the victims of child abuse worldwide. The Blue Ribbon Campaign against child abuse began 22 years ago and is recognized across the country. In addition to being the color of our team's home game jerseys, blue represents the color of bruises that have too often been neglected. Let's make national news for our collective actions to show solidarity with both the victims and our fellow classmates on the field. Even if you can't make the game, feel free to "attend" this event by wearing blue wherever you may be! We do not have to wait until THON to prove that Nittany Lions remain “For The Kids.” On November 12, make it a blue-out.

Statistics: It is estimated that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys will have experienced an episode of sexual abuse while younger than 18 years. The numbers of boys affected may be falsely low because of reporting techniques (Botash, Ann, MD, Pediatric Annual, May, 1997).

Penn State athletics is now officially supporting the blue out!

UPDATES: A special thank you to the Panhellenic Council, College Republicans, College Democrats, College Independents, LION fm, the Blue & White Society, Paternoville, the Graduate Art Education Student Association, McLanahan's, ARHS, the GSA, 93.7 The Bus, WRSC, Majic 99, Froggy 101, and ESPN Radio for their support! Only together can we stand united with our fellow classmates and teammates.

Has the thought occurred to anyone else - what would have to happen for Penn to cancel a season? What series of actions could be more vile, more evil that the decent people of the area would say "that's enough"!

I would love to know under what scenario a season or football program would be cancelled. I'm thinking a plane crash with no survivors............

Something is terribly, terribly wrong on college campuses nationwide. University police have no voice, not when they can be silenced by the men that run those universities.

I'm sorry to say this, gentlemen, this has been one of the worst weeks, if not the worst, I recall in my adult life as news events go, reading and observing mankind, the violation of other human beings. Again, I should never, ever have read the graphic grand jury report.

Never in my life, have I been weary of the opposite sex. Never have I been disappointed, despondent towards men. Never until now.

This world is made for and run by males. It has been since the beginning of time, it always will be--whether its a game, a university, a corporation, a Congress, a country, law enforcement or any governing body. And too, a home. As women we fair well, if we stay in line. Children do, as well, when they have a female and a male who are, both, committed to protecting them from harm. Its much harder for the single parent household, still, it works with the love for one's children that exist everyday.

This is hard to voice, still, the dominance, the difference, the entitlement, the focus--all have never before appeared as overwhelming. It has been devastating. I hope something makes this feeling pass.

At least now I know what Franco Harris and you would do if you (God forbid) saw a woman raped, child molested, or some other life threatening situation. Nothing since he thinks Paterno is heads and high water above people defending and reporting it.

You can have Franco Harris as a friend you two deserve each other. I will stand with the people who think "children comes first".

You know what me,Joe Pa ,and Franco Harris have in common-WE DIDNT SODOMIZE ANYONE!
Sandusky is the criminal
Mcqueary the creep and coward(whys this guy getting paid?)
Joe Pa the fall guy
Rush to judgement
