Here's 2 sets of statistics. Take them FWIW: (1) Paterno was a combined 155-18-2 (.891) in his career against BC, Maryland, Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple, and WVU --- the 7 schools PSU played regularly in the 1966-1992 era (pre-Big Ten) and schools that can be fairly classified as Eastern...

There's a reason why --- when people here link to "crazy Penn State fans", the links are (generally) to BWI as opposed to other PSU boards. In the longer-term, the moderators can dictate the direction that a board takes. I do reject your theory that it is a "those people in Pennsylvania"...

As you know, PSU had an Athletics Integrity Monitor on-campus during the July 2012 - December 2015 time period. I seriously doubt, given that environment, the answers to Zurp's 2nd through 4th questions would be anything besides "yes', "no", and "yes." But who knows. Zurp's 5th question ---...

Yep --- they really are giddy about "outing" CR66. I wouldn't put it beyond one of those jag-offs (say, 9fold) to do something like open a Credit Card in his name and rack up $40,000 in debt. Lubrano and CR66 did meet on Saturday (Penn State's spring game), and Lubrano has some "communication"...

One of the votes he abstained on was in August 2014, "should Penn State continue to abide by the consent decree." Another vote was in October 2014, "should Penn State re-examine the Freeh Report." There's no "conflict of interest." Yes, he should take a stand on those issues. That's what he...

Taliaferro had more than a few "abstentions" on votes --- primarily votes as regards the Freeh Report and such, votes that only came up because Lubrano and Al Lord pushed the issue. Abstaining is his right, but still: just vote. One way or another. I do wish Adam stood up for himself more in...

Yeah, I damn near spit out my orange juice this AM reading that. Lubrano is so dumb he doesn't realize exactly what he said there!!! I'll have to quote his post and spell it out more explicitly. Yep. PS4RS are king-makers. There was a bizarre wildfire that flared up for a week last...

Shoot, there are only 4 people (the 3 PS4RS folk, plus a younger guy, Dan Cocco) even running this year. In years past, even pre-2011, it would invariably be a few dozen. I've always speculated that the Paterno family is a key financial supporter of PS4RS. PS4RS has spent 6-digit amounts of...

To their credit, UCLA has never played an FCS opponent out-of-conference. That does inflate their SOS, though. I won't argue that PSU needs to start scheduling better. There was a "let's just win games" dynamic (sort of like Baylor) over the last few years, and that's why UCF got a...

I'm not criticizing UCLA --- I just find it odd. They are in recruit-rich Southern California, they have tradition, they are generally pretty good, and they play in one of the most beautiful stadium/settings in America. They would be a credible OOC foe for every D-1 team in America. Nobody's...

You are failing to address the point that they scheduled them in May 2008! At that time, Houston was absolutely a mid-major football school who had been putting up generally sub-.500 seasons (12 of the last 17 years). Did the UCLA AD have access to some time machine? LOL, you are...

I did not get one of those surveys. Although, I am not a member of the larger PSAA (I see no benefits to joining; I am a due-paying member of my local Chapter in Cincinnati, which I do find worthwhile). I did have a snarky response in that first thread. Post #20. My response got very little...

The Houston series was initially scheduled in May 2008. Yes, Houston was coming off a couple of decent seasons (10-4 in 2006, 8-5 in 2007), but in the larger-scale, they had only had 4 winning seasons in the last 11, and 5 in the last 17. Houston wasn't playing in BCS-level Bowls at that point...

The B1G being IN the Rose Bowl --- I definitely enjoyed that growing up. Just wish there was always a dynamic where "as long as it isn't the Title Game, the Rose Bowl will still always be B1G vs. Pac-10." I know other conferences didn't like that. But still: in 2002, sending Iowa to the...

Self-awareness, it escapes you. Oh well, I'm not the first one here to notice that. http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/forum/threads/village-idiot.636790/page-2

Still carrying on, not simply saying "I should have said 15 instead of 30" and just moving on (I'm really not a bad guy) ............ I get it, there are many Penn State fans who will NEVER concede a single point as regards Joe Paterno. Jesus Christ himself could come down and point out "facts...

I respect people who have both opinions on 1994. Nobody knows what would have happened in a theoretical game. All conjecture. I grew up in Michigan in the 1980s, so I grew up in B1G country. Even as a kid, the "B1G Champion goes to the Rose Bowl, end of story" mindset of the 1980s confused...

As I've done elsewhere in this thread, I'll agree with you when you make good points. If X is a number, X = 15 is a good choice, X = 30 is a bad choice if one is arguing "Iowa is better than Penn State over the last X years." Fair enough, I'm sensitive. So are you --- instead of simply...

True. Head-to-head is a component, but in terms of aggregate success over the 1986-2015 period, I don't think it's arguable. At all. "Buckeyesin07" had an argument if he simply said "in this millennium." I have no idea why he said "30 years", that exaggeration torpedoed the credibility of...
