Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

So, does PSU lower admission standards for athletes, or are all their students this stupid?

The linked BWI thread is awesome. The Pedsters are having a debate over whether or not a split second image in a Goodyear Tire commercial is of Joesus. The Cult is debating whether or not some PSU alum slipped Joesus into a montage of college football traditions. I guess the Goodyear commercial contains a secret message like playing a Judas Priest song backward.

Later in the thread, the Cult has blown up the frame containing the possible Joesus and are analyzing the image like it is the grassy knoll during the Kennedy assassination and people are trying to find a second shooter.

So couple of quick thoughts on PSU from an outsider. I was barely crawling last time the dawgs last to JoPa in the Sugar Bowl, so this was basically a first time experience.

1). Call me crazy, but I was more impressed with the fight the backup put up rather than Hackenburg. Kid clearly didn't have all the reps than Hack, but he was all guts. Willed his team to keeping the Lions within striking distance.

2). The fully grown adult men of the Penn State fan base are ridiculous. I've never seen an older group of fans wear more jerseys. Put on a polo or a sweatshirt for goodness sake. What a bunch of man-children.

3). The Dawg Blogs are kinda quiet so far, but those who did attend and who are posting claim the PSU fans are jackasses.
This was the Tax Slayer bowl for goodness sake, relax! It's a glorified exhibition. One of the best things about bowl games is Tailgating with fan bases you never encounter. I had a blast drinking and hanging out with Purdue students at the Citrus bowl when I was in college. Apparently the majority of PSU fans were really big jerks.
C'mon folks. It's a holiday! Have a cocktail and relax. Jeez...
No desire to see a game in College Station after the feedback from this game.

Penn St. fans/grads have long been smug, arrogant a-holes. Since the Sandusky/Paterno scandal, though, the rest of the country's now sees the "Success with Honor" bullshit for what it is. Paterno instilled that level of arrogance and condescension through decades of whining that every other program cheats or doesn't care about academics as much as Penn St. or that PSU continually gets screwed by the media and the refs.

Since 2011, though, such sanctimony is hard to pull off. Nevertheless, a large percentage of the PSU fanbase still tries to convince the rest of the country that they are the cleanest program in America and anyone who does not believe that is just jealous. That myth is pretty much shattered forever outside central Pennsylvania, however.

Consider yourself extremely fortunate if you did not have to endure some Cultist telling you that Paterno was a saint who was railroaded by his own Board of Trustees and the NCAA and ESPN and Louis Freeh.

That's a regional thing- jersey wearing is pure Midwest (and maybe east coast for the NFL, based on the people who attend the draft?).

Gutless QB (pressure him early and he will quit)

Dumbfuck coaching staff

Fan base that is an embarrassment to humanity

The kid who came in to finish the game definitely had Moxie.

I know it ruffles the back hairs of plenty to hear it...but it is a mouth breather thing.

Ha, so you're saying Lane Avenue isn't filled with Rhodes Scholars on game day?

People will be mouth breathers with or without a jersey on their back in the north or south, so I still think it's a regional cultural thing.

It's normal to wear a jersey to a sporting event in the north but you're a douche for doing the same in the south.

Just like this is normal attire in the south but one would be looked on with derision outside of any frat house north of the Mason Dixon for wearing the same.

You're a douche wherever you do it. People here just make excuses because they don't want to admit their own douchiness.
Thats_just_your_opinion.jpg


I think you're purposefully ignoring the concept of regional cultural norms.

I know a lot of normal well adjusted people who wear jerseys because it is a cultural norm.

I also loathe a big chunk of Ohio State fans for being obnoxious hillbillies who also happen to wear jerseys because it is a cultural norm.

Edit: what's your age cutoff for being a jersey wearing douche, by the way.
