Decanonized Mythologized Disgraced Ped State Monster Coach Joe Paterno (Zombie Icon)

[Zippercat]

Shocker! Joe Pa claiming his players getting in trouble is being blown out of proportion. Poor old geezer, everyone's always out to get him and his players.

JoePa discusses marijuana incident, Bowman - Big Ten - ESPN

"And the four kids who were renting the apartment were not in the apartment when the police got in there." OK, but were they there before that? How about did they know the grass was in their place? Were they tested right after this event? Until JoPa answers these questions his program deserves its reputation!

You know it is sad to hear about this,but being a PSU fan i belive some these players are being targeted now! Psu had a great rep for the last 40 years till recently, i do think some of these guys need to start using there heads a little more!

Am I the only one still laughing about the dude that pulled a machete on his teammate?

I guess where you see a need for "some of these players" to "use their heads a little more", a lot of us, at least I, see a head coach less and less concerned with keeping his players in check, focused soley on retiring with the all-time wins lead over Bobbah. The reason, imo, that more and more players are getting in trouble isn't any vendetta against PSU football players. It's because they know they can get away with shit. It's like when you stayed at your grandma's house growing up.

No.

I dont think Joe is worried about that record IMO. Hes still recruiting high and winning big ten championships, He built Penn State football and to blame his age for whats going on is stupid. Like i said 40+ years of a exellent rep should not be shatterd for the last couple. We all know hes not as involved in the on field coaching as he once was, (You can blame that on age) But his coaching staff is second to none. These players i think are doing the same as any other any where else,just there dumdass's are getting caught. Now its a big deal cause PSU has never been known for this stuff. It really gets blown up everywhere,

But his coaching staff is second to Ohio State.

Just thought I would help with that typo.

Bullshit. If not for the record, why stick around? When he asked about "coaching" practice from home, it was over as far as anything BUT the record is concerned.

Hes still recruiting high...

Well...that explains a lot.

...He built Penn State football and to blame his age for whats going on is stupid.

To deny that his age, at least partially, is to blame for so many players to get into shit, without much, if any reprocussions is fucking stupid.

Like i said 40+ years of a exellent rep should not be shatterd for the last couple.

So he gets a pass because his players used to be good guys in the community? Again, bullshit.

We all know hes not as involved in the on field coaching as he once was, (You can blame that on age)

Understatement of the year.

But his coaching staff is second to none.

Using the last eight years as a barometer, I'd say his coaching staff is second to at least one in the B10, and you're on thier teams message board.

These players i think are doing the same as any other any where else...

Yeah, all kinds of college football players are running around with machetes.
Not saying that kids at EVERY school don't do some foolish things. But to act like PSU's players haven't gone above and beyond what happens at most schools, in recent years...you're burying your head in the sand.

...just there dumdass's are getting caught

How ironic.

Now its a big deal cause PSU has never been known for this stuff. It really gets blown up everywhere

So it's a witch hunt because PSU's players used to be so good, unlike the rest of CFB, which you claimed does the same shit, just doesn't get caught. I'll say it one last time...bullshit.

you're delusional.

you're delusional.

Says the PA guy. I wont win the Joepa argument in here sooo.... But i will say with a top 5 recruiting class every year, Joe and there staff wouldnt be (sharing) big ten titles, so yeah i say second to none.

Anyone know where to find PSU's class rankings over the past few years? Top five every year seems a bit far fetched.

Edit: About the only place you'd win the JoePa "argument" is a PSU board.

Im saying OSU has a top five class every year.

 

[Deety]

Second to none, except for recruiting?

That's a pretty sweet exemption. But then, I hear Michigan's coaching staff is second to none, except for winning, so ya got that going for ya. :p

 

[BUCKYLE]

Ok, if you say so. Since PSU joined the B10 in '93, they have exactly one outright B10 title, and two shared, both with tOSU. In that same time span, which includes the John Cooper years here, tOSU has two outright titles, and six shared. Two of tOSU's shared titles being shared with Iowa (2002 NC year), and NW, both of them not playing the Buckeyes in those years.

I believe you mean second to one. That one being tOSU.

Since JT took over in 2001, tOSU has both of their outright titles, and three shared titles. PSU has two shared titles, both with tOSU.
