BWI is pure gold right now, but my favorite posts are the ones that express PSU fans and alumni whose spirit has been completely crushed and broken. LOL. Womens' Volleyball, it is; a sport where the Pedsters can actually win. Of course, it is all the BoT's fault for rushing to judgement about Joesus.

fairgambit: "Ten years ago this loss would have bothered me all week. Now, I'm watching our women's volleyball team and have put the game in my rear view mirror. I guess it started with STEP and my giving season tickets I held for nearly 40 years. Then there was our own BOT rushing to judgment on Joe, his firing, and our surrender to the NCAA. Throw in the continuing arrogance of our BOT, President, and Alumni Association, and I have a University I barely recognize and can no longer relate to. I've said before that I may wake up some day and just decide to turn my back on Penn State forever. If it happens, I will always have my memories, the friendships, and the joy of watching the golden years of Penn State football. I really think if I had not found this Board I would have been gone already. The fact that I could watch us get blown out by a very average college team and not feel badly means that day is very close."
Victor E. Bell: "Penn State "the institution" doesn't care, in fact football was its nemesis. This is the residue. This is what they wanted. PSU football is over. PSU football is PSU basketball. Indistinguishable.
W volleyball, W soc, wrestling. These are our sports. Get used to it. This is what they wanted."
jp3272: "I'm just tired. Tired of putting my energy into the games. I love the young men who play the games. But I am just tired."
Mignighter: "Similar for me, but not because I don't care - I've just adjusted my perspective and priorities. These are college kids - I want them to play, learn, do well, and become great ambassadors for Penn State. I would love for them to win every game and hope like hell they do. If not, no biggie - like you said, we have volleyball :)"
