Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

When Penn State lost the bowl ban, I said it would be beautiful if they just weren't eligible this year. That didn't happen. But now, I think it would be even better if they just weren't selected. Yeah - I know that that would never happen. Anyway, they seem to be unhappy that some jerk picked them to play Pitt. It'd be pretty sweet if they lost to Pitt. I agree with ORD, though: as thorough of a beatdown Arkansas would give them, I don't want the SEC to get that victory.

The Cult is now claiming that Mark Emmert interviewed to be PSU President, but lost out to Spanier for the position. Of course, according to The Cult, that is the reason Emmert laid out such brutal, harsh, unfair penalties that were then rescinded two years later.

It seems hard to believe that such a tidbit would not have leaked out from a source other than BWI. So has any other source ever reported that Emmert was beaten out for the job as PSU President by Spanier, or is this just The Cult again making shit up as they go?

Emmert ended up at a better university (Washington) and didn't have to deal with a megalomaniacal football coach trying to run his university. If he interviewed at all, I'm sure he was quite happy with how things turned out for him.

ORD, are you on the same Chicago payroll as notorious Joesus hater Dan Bernstein? The Cult says to follow the money about anyone from Chicago "spewing garbage" about Joesus.

PaRanger: "Follow the money...........

Chicago..........Big 10??? Hmmmmmmm???

Whose payroll is he on?"

B1G has 8 automatic bowl tie-ins (not including the 6 playoff/committee bowls), and 10 teams bowl eligible.
Throw in 2 teams going to BCS bowls, and it works out. I'd be surprised if any eligible P5 school is left w/o a bowl... it'll be Mid Majors who get left out.
A lot of people seem to be angling for NYC, partly because it seems the Conference doesn't want Rutgers there. That sucks imo.
On the other hand NYC is a Tier2 bowl... and while I don't fully understand the process, it seems to me that 6-6 Penn State and Illinois should be Tier3 ?? Tier3 would place them in either Detroit (ACC) or Dallas (CUSA).

From the latest Denial thread comes the first post that's actually provided something beyond the usual "No blood No rape! Beat Nebraska!" tropes.
I'm not sure if this helps or hurts the cult viewpoint, but I notice 9Fold steers wide clear of it despite replying to everything else in that thread.

Some snippets from the article he linked:
Haefner, who grew up in Lancaster, ... was a boy-oriented pedophile who sought out “relationships”with women as cover for what he was. ... You see this throughout his life. But he had a violent temper when a woman annoyed or rejected him. He was probably minutes away from killing a woman in a parking lot in Delaware in 1998 when a Tastykake driver rushed to intervene. Haefner was slamming her face into her car. She had extensive dental damage and never truly recovered emotionally from the brutality of the attack, her husband told me. When you view these incidents, it is easy to imagine him flying into a rage against Betsy Aardsma and plunging the knife he always carried into her heart.

Q: As you have stated in other interviews, there are parallels between the Aardsma case and the Sandusky scandal — in that vital information was not reported properly within the chain of command at Penn State, and those in authority looked the other way. In your book, you say professor Lauren Wright waited too long to tell someone about the night of the murder, when Rick Haefner came to his house. Why do you think he never followed up on it?

A: Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Lauren Wright is one of the saddest and most infuriating characters in this story. He was a great geologist, but failed a serious legal and moral test by remaining silent for seven years. You will hear his defenders say, well, Lauren always saw the best in people, and Haefner was his student, blah, blah, blah. I don’t buy that. When Haefner started to behave in a threatening way toward him in 1976, Wright immediately went to Charles Hosler, his dean, and poured out what had happened at his house the night of the murder, how Haefner always carried a knife, and how he thought his former student might be the killer of Betsy. Hosler then reported it to Del McQuaide, the Penn State general counsel, the insider’s insider. And nothing happened. But back to Wright. I believe Haefner had something on him that Wright was terrified of being revealed in that day and age. Remember, he stayed silent even when the state police were publicly pleading for information in early 1970 and offering a $25,000 reward, which was a lot of money then. Even late in life, he refused to pick up the phone and call the state police, even while telling the story of Haefner’s visit to his house to former students like Dan Stephens. Wright maintained ties with Haefner right up to the latter’s death in 2002.

Q: Ultimately, what do you hope this book accomplishes? A better understanding among the Penn State community, alumni and the general public of what happened and the events of that time period? Exposure of the incompetence of authority figures at Penn State — past and present? Closure for Aardsma’s family and friends?

A: All of that, although I don’t think it will bring closure to the family. Her parents are both dead, although her mother died only in 2012. She has a brother and two sisters left alive, and they will not talk to me or, apparently, anyone else about Betsy. Mrs. Aardsma spoke to the press until 1989 and then abruptly stopped. Did something happen? Was there a settlement with Penn State that was never publicly revealed? Given everything else that has happened in Happy Valley, I can’t rule that out; although I have no proof one way or the other. It’s just something to think about.

What really ought to happen at Penn State is a Truth and Reconciliation Commission made up of independent outsiders who have full authority and access to documents to investigate what Penn State did about Betsy’s murder, about the Antonio Lasaga pedophile professor scandal of 1981, and, of course, about Jerry Sandusky. It’s time to stop looking the other way. If Penn State wants to bury the Freeh report, this is the way to go.

3+ years later and these lunatics haven't calmed down one iota. It's just a goddamned shame the ncaa didn't have the balls to nuke that fucking program and turn them into SMU-North. SMU has some dirty boosters buying players, so DEEEAAAATHHHHH!!! PSU turns its head to systematic child rape over multiple decades and gets what has amounted to a slap on the wrist, including having their fucking sanctions reduced. Go fuck yourself forever, ncaa.

I'm surprised that I haven't seen the words "And WE have the culture problem?" show up on BWI regarding Karageorge and Ohio State. But at least one guy (just the OP - everyone else seems to think he's a [Mark May]) wants to see some facts and EVIDENTS!!!

I'm usually pretty good in figuring out their retarded ulterior motives......but I'm stumped on this one. They really don't understand how police can investigate a scene and not release all the EVIDENTS within seconds? People who get paid to investigate murder and crime scenes have determined that it's likely a suicide...but they have to run it by the BWI nutbag squad before anything can be official.
