When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

For so many years, they did whatever they wanted. Schedule who they want, when they want, where they want. Pick their own refs. Nobody told them what to do. They had the privilege of setting themselves up for success with every decision JoePa made. When they were no longer able to make their own rules, any decision that went against them felt like an attack because they had never never experienced not getting what they want. It's like raising a kid and never telling them "no" -- that kid is going to turn out terribly. Even 30+ years after joining the Big Ten, that mindset has been passed down from generation to generation of PSU fans. TCUN fans have inherited arrogance. ND fans have inherited self-righteousness. PSU fans have inherited victimhood. Fuck them.

The foundation for their obsessions with HOLDING. In the Eastern independent days, whenever an opponent would get rolling offensively, there'd be a hail of phantom holding calls. When those calls didn't show up in the Big Ten, they naturally assumed it was all a 'speeracy to keep Paterno down.

There's a reason that Pitt, WVU, Syracuse and others wanted zero part of Paterno's proposed Eastern Conference, and the first thing they did after joining the Big East was to blackball his ass from joining that conference.

It doesn't sound like Stewart leaving was a money issue. More likely where he fit in the rotation.

Baylor transfer Josh Ojianwuna was in Columbus over the weekend. The 6'10" center is coming off of knee surgery and most likely won't be ready for the start of the season.

Stewart claimed he wanted a larger role. He had as big of a role at OSU as he could withstand, IMO. If Stewart wants to be the focal point of the offense, he's got to drop down to mid-major schools. Stewart will not be a go-to guy offensively at any power conference program. OSU is recruiting role players to replace him, these are guys that can start but won't be the top- or second-option offensively.

Triple Crown (Kentucky Derby/Preakness/Belmont)

Sovereignty skips Preakness, run at Triple Crown

Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty will not run in the Preakness Stakes and instead will rest before the Belmont Stakes, ending any hopes for a Triple Crown.
www.espn.com www.espn.com

Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty will not run in the Preakness Stakes, officials announced Tuesday, ending any chance at a Triple Crown for a seventh consecutive year.

Mott told Preakness officials the plan will be to enter Sovereignty in the Belmont Stakes, the third jewel of the Triple Crown, on June 7 at Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York. Mott on Sunday morning had foreshadowed skipping the Preakness in the name of long-term interests.

"We want to do what's best for the horse," Mott told reporters at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. "Of course, you always think about a Triple Crown, and that's not something we're not going to think about."

My God, that whole website seems terrible. As for him, just whatever at this point: He can't hurt the program and even fans of other teams who actively dislike Ohio State are mostly seeing through him. I don't feel like wasting any thought on him at all anymore.

And the more he carries on with the dog and pony show, the more likely his career is to crater.

Just a failure from top to bottom. The AD was disinterested and made horrible hire after horrible hire. They just don't care and it shows.

As long as they can lazily coast off of the football programs success the athletic department will continue to just not care about anything else.

I think you're right. But I wonder why. Are there other fans who think that the college football world revolves around them? Do Alabama fans act like this? Syracuse fans? Nebraska or Texas fans? Not that I've seen, but I've only been drawn to Penn State message boards BECAUSE they act like this.
Did Paterno start this mentality? Or is he deified BECAUSE of this mentality?

I can only tell you that growing up in L.A. during the Pete Carroll era, the condum fans thought the entire college football world revolved around them.

They've been oddly quite for the past 15 years or so. Can't imagine why...:roll1:
