Oh the difference a year makes....

From the comments section...

I disagree with anyone who says that we should be behind our Big Ten brethren. Penn State did not cheat or lie. Ohio State did. Penn State is not like Ohio State. Why should we stand by them because they are in the Big Ten. I will not back THEE Ohio State

I agree. Why should we stand by Penn State? I hope they get kicked out of the conference.

That was so good......I thought your name was JoePa1983.

I should have signed it Sgt. 9foldluvslionslubranoliaxmackdaddy...

Translation: "We want to wait and see if this whole thing blows over without us having to show some actual leadership."

With this special place they will probably add "The Rail" right next to the Joe Ped statue......:(

Penn State is not like Ohio State.

They're goddamn right about that.

In the category of 'you'll know it when you see it'....maybe these fucks can add a blindfold, earmuffs, and ball gag to the statue of the fearless leader.....

With all due respect to the ideas presented here; the best idea I've heard for what to do with JoePed's statue came in a text from my brother. He said that a millstone should be hung from the neck of the statue with the inscription:

It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Halo gone. (AP)

With all of the recent changes, maybe they should just use a few gallons of Killz and start over.

Should The Soprano's be renamed The Paterno's? Danny Devito could play Jay.

The thing is, wiseguys would have whacked Sandusky the minute they caught wind of something like this. What Paterno did is WORSE than what would have happened if the mob had been running things.

Wait a fucking minute...$350K in interest free loans? WTF does a man making millions need $350K in loans. Interest free. From a state university. Is that even legal?

Interest free or low interest loans are a pretty common tax dodge. Part of the employee's compensation is given in the form of a loan, rather than salary. If certain IRS regs are followed, the loan is not taxable at the time the money is actually paid to the employee.

It's often then later "forgiven" (at which time it then becomes taxable income to the employee) by the employer at a time when the employee is in a much lower tax bracket. In JoePed's case, the loan was probably forgiven in 2012, a year in which he (his estate) will most likely not have much outside income for shoe contracts, etc.

Why is there a halo to begin with? He's not a god or a saint. It just goes to show how fucked up these people are in State College.

Yes you did, Brett. Yes you did.

I think it's time to invite the IRS to come on down and have a look around!

You know he fucked up bigtime if they feel the need to revise his obituary:

http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2012/07/joe_paternos_complicated_legac.html

Let?s try it again.

This is the second obituary of Joseph V. Paterno, 12/21/1926 - 1/22/2012, (7/12/2012).

Maybe Joe Paterno can still preserve the future of his school and his beloved football program if we can cast him among the villians and seal him in the tomb of the past.

A new article on Dr. Vicky Triponey, from CNN:

http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/15/us/triponey-paterno-penn-state/index.html?hpt=hp_c1

Some of these excerpts may have already been posted, but the still make my jaw drop...

Paterno ridiculed her on a radio show as "that lady in Old Main" who couldn't possibly know how to handle students because "she didn't have kids."

Tensions reached the breaking point in 2007 over how to discipline half a dozen players who'd been arrested at a brawl at an off-campus apartment complex. Several students were injured; one beaten unconscious.

Triponey met with Paterno and other university officials half a dozen times, although she preferred to remain neutral as the appeals hearing officer.

At the final meeting, Triponey urged the coach to advise his players to tell the truth. Paterno said angrily that he couldn't force his players to "rat" on each other since they had to practice and play together. Curley and Spanier backed him up on that point, she said.

In the end, four players were briefly suspended during the off-season. They didn't miss a game.

By then it was clear she no longer enjoyed Spanier's support. He began making noises about whether she really embraced "the Penn State way." He told her during an annual review that she was too confrontational, too aggressive. Triponey knew her days at Penn State were numbered when he advised her to think hard about whether she had a future there.

Repeated for emphasis:

Paterno said angrily that he couldn't force his players to "rat" on each other since they had to practice and play together. Curley and Spanier backed him up on that point, she said.

That encapsulates their entire approach to Sandusky as well. Unreal.
