Yep. All I hear is, "Poor JoePa, they've ruined the reputation of a great man." Ridiculous. I can't stand it and it's not even worth debating with them because when you bring up facts they just bury their heads in the sand and cry, "JoooePaaaaa didn't knooooooow what reallly haaaappened!!!" Awful.

Another ripe quote, a tweet scrolling across the screen on BTN repeatedly during their coverage: "(Joe) did everything in his power."

My mind tends to make odd associations, and sometimes events trigger a visual or auditory memory that runs on a loop. When I see hollow justifications like those above, I keep hearing a line from, of all things, a Simpson's Halloween show. Marge and her sisters are real witches, taking vengeance on a medieval village by abducting and dining on their children. When the witches arrive at Flanders' house, his sole response is to wave a cross at them, which they brush aside. As his sons are obediently stepping into the witches' burlap sacks to be carried off and devoured, the boys tell the motionless Flanders: "That's OK, Daddy...You did everything you could."

That's OK, Joe...You did everything you could.:roll2:

He actually said that the trustees made their decision to fire JoePA without knowing all the facts....

Well, to be fair. John Summa did say,

"Joe Paterno is no longer the head football coach, effective immediately. We don't have all the facts in this case...."

LOL

I see faking his own death being a possibility.

And the Dude obviously abides.

The problem is that Penn State fans are too damn dense to understand that there is an unspoken...

"....but we have enough to know that the enabling son of a bitch cannot remain part of this insitution."

Munch Bishop posted on FB that he can't understand why McQ is getting threats for "turning in a pedophile". Um, yeah, about that whole turning in thing... :shake:

I mean I'm not saying death threats are a constructive or legal way of going about anything, but if you can't understand WHY he is getting them...well...I don't know what I would tell him.

The more I learn, the more I come to the conclusion that Penn St is going to be smote from the earth. If not already in the court of public opinion, most certainly in the distant future once all the criminal and civil proceedings are over.

I agree. And it seems callous to say because this shouldn't be a football story at this point or a conference realignment story, but Jim Delaney and the other Big Ten presidents need to do their due dilligence on removing Penn State or dealing with their withdrawal.

I think this could have a wide ripple effect for years to come - from undergraduate enrollment (who would want to send their kids there?) to graduate enrollment (who would want an advanced degree with their name on it?), from their ability to attract faculty (who would want to work there?) to their ability to accept federal monies (financial aid and research). It's not just going to be about their ability to compete in football. It's going to be about their ability to remain viable as an institution. Hell, it'll probably even give schools like Temple and Pitt a strong argument for shifting some of the state's dollars away from Penn State.

First mistake, paying attention to what "Munch" Bishop has to say.
Second mistake, thinking Bishop is capable of understanding anything.
Third mistake, telling others what Bishop said.

Posted it more because it's not the only "poor McQ" sentiment out there, like he's some hero being brought down because Joe got fired. And he's a public figure, so it's easier than posting the average post by Joe Dumbass.
