Nah, it definitely came across, it was well done. Took me back to high school literature class! "The Hack" has not thrown a pick-six against Ohio State in TWO years. TWO --- from a PSU POV, that is AMAZING!!! I'll take all those overthrows instead of a return to the "8 pick-sixes in 11...

Very nice. I'll change the last 2 lines though, as PSU wins in a game where both offenses surprisingly out-perform the opposing defenses: And the might of the Buckeye, unsmote by a sack, Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Hack.

I too think something happened in the 2009-2010 time frame. More probably 2010. That something was likely either (1) a stroke or (2) lung cancer beginning to take hold and slowly degrading the body (mind included) as a whole. I think Number 2. I think the cancer took hold in 2010 --- my...

It is a fine balance, that is for sure. I've been on BWI since 2003, and my opinions are truly NOT a troll act, they are my opinions. "Peetz Pool Boy" once dropped my real-life first name on the board --- that post got deleted within 10 minutes but stuff like that happening does make me...

Yes, that's me. I'm very likable. :-) I post plenty on non-conspiracy and non-Joe topics.

My 409fold moniker that is a parody of 9fold has thus far generated 3 likes, but has not generated an actual response. Let me bring my actual BWI moniker to the fray and see what happens ..... (9fold lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for those who didn't know that)

Four consecutive classes of PSU students (assuming they stay for 4 football seasons) --- the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 freshmen --- did see some good times. A B1G Championship (the 2005 freshmen saw two), and multiple (2) Top 10 seasons (2005, 2008, 2009 teams finished #3, #8 and #9...

This is 100% definitely correct. I have become middle-age, but I haven't forgotten what it was like as a 18-21 year-old college kid. I'm not excusing the morons who tipped over the TV van and otherwise destroyed property. But the "student riot" that night was more an excuse to "party" and...

Penn State had twenty-seven consecutive non-losing (.500 or better) seasons prior to Joe Paterno's tenure as Head Coach (1939 through 1965). Even if one wants to say "weak eastern schedule!!!", that's still pretty impressive. I've pointed that out before on BWI before and been ridiculed, but...

I've already revealed in this thread who my 2 BWI monikers are. (1) is 409fold (an account that makes fun of 9fold). The second, you can research if you want, to see if your hypothesis is true. Anyway, I'm a visitor here. This is your board so I'll back off. Come back and visit again come...

Fair enough, I'm a crappy and lousy and bad and awful person. These points remain: (1) Neither you or I can know for certain whether Curley even WAS available on Saturday 10-Feburary-2001. There are perhaps 100% legitimate reasons for a 1-day delay. We do not know for certain because (a)...

That was a huge moral failure on Paterno's part. No doubt about it. You have to follow up, and go to law enforcement if/when Curley/Schultz/Spanier don't have the moral fiber to go to law enforcement themselves. No idea why he didn't. Even if it took several years for Paterno to do so. That...

As referenced in pages 66-68 of the Freeh Report, a meeting occurred on Sunday 11-February-2001. Unless one is saying that the Freeh Report got that wrong, there IS NO "maybe he did and maybe he didn't." Maybe Tim Curley went on some Saturday excursion where he did not have his phone...

A couple anecdotes: (1) There have been many times in my career where I've had to "quickly pass forward" news as regards one of my direct reports. He's leaving the job to work for a competitor, he screwed something up and has created a massive "brush fire" that our organization needs to put...

I simply provided the 51 other words of Paterno's answer that surrounded the phrase "interfere with their weekends." If that's "spin", fair enough.

I can do links too. This link provides his FULL answer to the question. Note the first sentence --- he noted right away that he wasn't sure he was being precise. Which is fair, given it was 9.5 years later. As I've said before, there are plenty of things to criticize Paterno for, but this...

I am a big fan of prime numbers. It is why I have such a hatred for my nemesis, 9fold. Composite number lover.

I'm honestly not sure why the whole "don't ruin the weekends thing" still has traction. Per the Freeh Report itself (pages 66-68), the McQueary locker room incident occured on 9-February-2001, McQueary met with Paterno on 10-February-2001, and Paterno met with Schultz and Curley on...

Wherever Silas Redd is, perhaps one can find Ray Gricar there too. The plot thickens .......

And how did he threaten them? What did he threaten to do? Did he follow through on any of his threats (some players did transfer, of course)?
