Instead of tearing down the statue of Joe Pa, they need to just turn it so he's looking the other way

Leave it up, but take down the "coach, humanitarian" bullshit. Replace that with a couple of the most damning quotes from the Freeh report. Make it similar to the "Work Will Set You Free" sign at Auschwitz.


And put the pedobear in with the players.:biggrin:

Woody Hayes was a great man. Flawed, but a tremendous person, coach, and mentor to many, many young men. He's a hero of mine. That said, if the Ohio State University's entire identity was wrapped up in his legacy, I'd be fucking ashamed.

Tried to rep you on this.

I took Coach Hayes' course and can tell you he was demanding. Each Friday there were two quizzes; one on current events and the other on the football he had lectured about on Monday and Wednesday. It was not unusual for him to throw a quote - especially something from Yeats- into his lectures, or to draw comparisons to situations in history or life.

When asked why he insisted on students being up to date on current events, he responded with, "Because you're going to leave here and most of you are going to end up being teachers. I don't want you to be the kind of teacher who puts coaching before teaching. That's not why you're valuable to a school. And you can't be a good teacher if you don't know what's going on in the world around you."

In April and May of 1970, with the campus about to explode over the war in Vietnam and the invasion of Cambodia, Hayes was the only professor on the entire faculty who willingly met and talked to students on the Oval. Professors Ron Green and Bernie Mehl, who did much to stir up the students, "disappeared" when the riots broke out.

While other name coaches were demanding and receiving salaries that far outstripped that of their school's president, Hayes insisted that his salary remain in line with that of a full professor.

I had a great deal of respect for Hayes, then and now, but when he punched Charlie Bauman he crossed a line and he had to go.

A tiny ray of sunshine for PSU fans in a horrible situation...

There's no "new" information about the football program's "control" of the campus- no revelations regarding Paterno covering up other issues there.

Not that they did or didn't exist; just that this report doesn't address that.

In Session guy so outraged he is spitting while he screams. Love seeing this amount of outrage. The public will also have this kind of outrage. It can not be ignored. Bring in the Feds and fucking hammer PSU...

As reasonable as Matt Millenn has been on this, he still can't make the mental leap of understanding to realize JoePa was as much at fault as Spanier, Curley, and Schultz. At least he's showing a somewhat reasonable take on it, excepting not being able to sully Paterno.

My PSU buds are still screaming... lies... lies... lies.. Paterno was a saint... and they're taking that to their graves...

How they still see tatoogate more wrong than this... is mind blowing

"At least we've never had to forfeit games and bowl victory nor banned from a bowl"

well, good for you... tell that to the dozens of kids raped after your entire university knew what was going on... from 1998 and earlier... when everyone from janitors to coaches.. including St Joe Pa.. knew about it
