Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Why do I bother with these "people"? So this guy - Jamel Dean - Ohio State decides he's too injured and will never play football again. They withdraw the scholarship offer for football, but didn't they say that he'd be allowed to go to school on scholarship? They just wouldn't let him play and he wouldn't count toward the 85 or 82 scholarships. Penn State fans bitched and moaned about Urban cutting players to make room for better players. I guess I don't understand. Ohio State wasn't taking away his ability to go somewhere else. They weren't taking away his only chance at a college education. What's the big deal? So now he agrees to play at Auburn, and the Penn State fans are all "SEE?!? He's able to play. Meyer smells like worms!!"

Another poster in that thread mentioned that he thought an original Big East conference would be comprised of Ped State and Boston College, Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse, Temple, and West Virginia. So, I checked their history against those teams and lo-and-behold those are the same six teams they played virtually every year from 1980 up through 1992 (final non-B1G season). In fact, here are the years during that timeframe they played:

Boston College (1981-1992)
Pitt (1980-1992)
Rutgers (1982-1992)
Syracuse (1980-1990)
Temple (1980-1983, 1985-1992)
West Virginia (1980-1992)

So, they played Pitt and WVU every year during that timeframe, BC (1980) and Temple (1984) all but one year, and Rutgers (1980, 1981) and Syracuse (1991, 1992) all but two years.

Just add one more and you can be a BCS conference. And didn't the NCAA relax the rules concerning conference championship games? Put 7 teams in one division, Penn State in the other, and there's your setting for the conference championship.

B.Levinson is underrated crackpot over on BWI. Levinson sent PSU President Barron a certified (restricted delivery) letter to whine about Barron's attack on the alumni-elected trustees. Naturally, the fourth reply to Levinson's original post is a suggestion to also send a certified letter to Barron's house. ("I don't think it would be out of line to send a copy to his house, as well. The house is - after all - an official University property provided to the office of the President.") reasoned bjf1984.

Can you imagine being President of a Big 10 university and having a crackpot send you a certified letter telling you that the Board of Trustees views your Presidency as expendable?

Still bitching about Urban and how poorly he treated Jamel Dean?

Does it even cross their minds that the decision to disqualify Dean had literally nothing to do with Urban? Actually, never mind......this makes a lot of sense..... This is how PedState was run for years under the Joesus regime. We already know that any time there was a question of academic or disciplinary eligibility, the administration at PedSU would simply defer to Joesus' judgement. Why would medical questions be any different? I'm sure the PedSU medical staff had daily briefings with Joesus so they could get a full dossier of the best treatments and rehab protocols for any and all of his players' injuries.....

It was really so that Joesus could heal the kids with a laying on of hands.

Ol' Jer preferred a different kind of laying of on hands.

Interesting in contrast with the above quoted thread about Urban cutting players, "Success with Honor" now includes, of all programs, Alabama.

Per the article:
Nathan, too, made a promise to another coaching legend, Alabama’s Bear Bryant, that he would “someday get my diploma.” That, though, was back in 1979 as Nathan had wound up his collegiate career and fallen behind in some classes because of the all-star game circuit. Nathan, who went on to a standout nine-year career in the NFL, needed Bryant’s permission to drop the classes, which the coach would only do if the player made the graduation promise.

So "success with honor" includes allowing a player to shirk his classroom responsibilities to go on an "all-star game circuit". Of course, Bryant made the player promise to get his degree, as if the player was going to say he wouldn't. That it took him 36 years (and 32 years year after Bryant's death) to get the degree when he only had a couple classes to take shows just how much the promise truly meant to him.

This thread isn't all that special. But one post is quote-worthy:

I remember Lavar Arrington abusing the Pitt punter. That was special.
Click to expand...

Name the greatest players in the Pitt vs. Penn State games. This guy brings up an All-American (didn't he make All-American?), and his "abusing" of the Pitt punter. One guy's job is to catch the ball and kick it as far as he can (OK - so it's more complicated than that, but it's hardly a physical position), and he gets abused by the guy whose job it is to knock people to the ground, and the fans of the abuser praise him for it? Ha!!

That's like, "Did you see LeBron James play basketball against that fourth-grader? That was a thing of beauty!"
