Mer = not sure of where you were going with that, nor what Cody Glenn's situation (who was kicked OFF the team, not suspended) has to do with the question I asked.

Not trying to compare what happened at tOSU with what is currently happening with PSU. I was ONLY looking at the fan bases. tOSU had a beloved, well respected, highly regarded in ALL circles (and still is, by my standards) head coach that did something that he had to pay for.

My statement was only about the defending of said beloved, well respected, highly regarded coach, and how you can look at the fans at PSU and compare that to what happened at your university earlier this year. You guys had differing opinions inside your fan base (at least that I saw) on what needed to be done, what had to happen. Basically, like a small, brief family disagreement.

I don't see that same thing happening at PSU. The student body and most of the fan base are BEHIND JoePa. And that's the confusing thing for me (and apparently others). How can you support a man who admits he should have done more?!?

you can't look at the fanbases' opinions of their coaches without considering what their coaches were dealing with. child rape =/= trophies for tattoos, and it's not even close.

by the by, i don't think pelini kicking glenn off the team (which was not initially the case; pelini suspended glenn indefinitely) would be an acceptable response in the ncaa's eyes.

ahd95, i know you're a good poster. just understand no buckeye wants to hear anyone comparing tressel to paterno. we're talking child rape here... not tattoos. compare them by way of their fanbases' opinions? it doesn't matter. child rape versus tattoos.

Free time?!? An 84 year old with tons of free time, eh?
How much time would that be? He appears to be barely holding on any damn way.

With the time he probably has, he'd get the forward on the book done and that's about it.

I'm thinking a scandal of this magnitude and it's consequences could do him in pretty quickly. I'd be surprised if he lasts another two years on this Earth.

I don't think it's going to be the scandal that does him in. IMHO, he's already shown that knowing about some guy he knows real well abusing little boys doesn't bother him too much.

I think the fact that he won't be coming to the school on game days, interacting with the kids, and being the face of the university anymore will be what does him in.

Excellent point. I think that most folks that are tOSU fans that I spoke with while that was all going on were like, "We love JT, we support what he did, but he has to pay the piper." And when he did, most understood the decision.

Which makes me scratch my head at the PSU fans. It seems most are looking elsewhere BUT at the guy who leads that team.

yeah, it seems weird that people are willing to condemn the guy below him (McQueary) and the people above him (AD, etc.) but not JoePa himself.

I'll tell you what made me feel almost like JoePa is worse than any of them was when he came out on his lawn and said through his nose..."oh thank you ... this means so much to me... but let's say a prayer for the victims." FXXking garbage that he wants to co-op the sorrow we feel for the child victim for his own use.

If Tressell had to resign immediately, there is no way that JoePa can coach this saturday.

I predict, if he does, the demonstrations will make Occupy Wall Street look like a family picnic in the park.

Anyone remember this?

"When a Penn State running back received a suit for $300.00 Paterno kept him from playing in the Bowl Game. I guess that is the difference between the two schools (OSU and PSU)."

Guess again, genius. :lol:

Regarding bolded: Since they have yet to locate or identify the child from the shower, if that child is found to be a pile of bones under Sandusky's crawl space, the action of 'leaving the bulding' and the child to his fate, seems pretty affirmative to me.

Find it odd that in all the discussion of what McQ should have done about the child, I've never seen anyone suggest he should have taken the boy to an emergency room. TV talking heads have gone on about why Junior didn't take the boy home to his dad's house. The kid didn't need to see a coach, he needed to see a doctor and a therapist. Wonder why that doesn't occur to people.

I dont' see the media outrage over this preventing him from coaching at the last home game.

If you scan articles on si.com for example about half of them say that Joe must go immediately, not later. Not just because he deserves to be suspended immediately but because if he retires at the end of the season it means he is still in charge, not the University; i.e., he makes the decision when to retire, not the school, not the public, not the police and not the victims for whom he pretends to pray. He's praying for a victory, not for those victims.

Ugh.
