Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Apparently, Franco Harris was a guest on New York's WFAN radio station yesterday in response to DeAndre Levy's recent comments about Joesus.. The result was the usual hilarity whenever Franco talks about Joesus. Naturally, BWI is lapping up Franco's insanity.

https://bwi.forums.rivals.com/threads/franco-harris-interview-on-the-fan-truth-hasn’t-been-revealed-about-paterno’s-role-in-sex-scandal.156791/

capkrokus: "The senile old goof Jim Colony actually said "I watched JVP walked out of his house in front of dozens of kids in his front yard & say I could have done more".

Franco should have responded by saying this is exactly what I'm talking about. That statement doesn't have an ounce of truth to it, but their misinformed listeners will take it as being true."

Nittany Ned2: "Sadly, this is indicative of the state of this country today. The majority are not encumbered by or curious for the truth. Everyone is just out there looking for affirmation of their existing world view. In short, my world view IS "the truth" and yours is a lie."

lionlurker: "Franco is a man amongst boys when it comes to his fellow Lettermen."

bdgan: "Franco says that MM told him in person that he didn't see anything sexual. And remember, Dranov just testified with a similar story."

83wuzme: "I had to endure a 30 minute cab ride in Chicago with some know - nothing cabbie who proceeded to lecture me about the Sandusky scandal after I told him where I was from. Uber next time."

fairgambit: "...why not give a man with a lifetime of decency and honor the benefit of the doubt?"

lionlurker: "Because he represented an ideal standard that most of these people subconsciously know they cannot reach. Therefore, rather than feel bad about themselves, they choose to despise him for their failings."

fairgambit: "Franco could have spoken with the eloquence and reason of Winston Churchill and it would have made little difference. Thanks to the actions, and inactions, of our Board of Trustees, most people have accepted the public narrative and are unlikely to change their minds. Oddly, I find the ones most open to change, and a quest for the truth, are those who believe Joe did nothing wrong."

bkmtnittany1: "Yes, Joe left such a trail of garbage his entire life. All those NCAA violations...those horrible graduation rates...the fact that JVP was all about the $$$$ and never gave back to the university....he did so many things in his life that showed he would cover up for a pedophile."

lionlurker: "And yet, his employer vigorously destroyed him."

bkmtnittany1: "Talk about ingrates....may they all rot in hell."

Nittany Ned2: " I had dinner with some friends in Denver. Not sports people and they commented that Joe was such a terrible guy. To which, I said does it make sense that a guy who spent his entire career working with and for the benefit of young people, building a ethos and a university that he would so ham handedly ignore something like this? Isn't it strange that the 3 central persons to the state's conspiracy charges have not had their day in court 5 years on? I kept posing questions that forced them to stop and think critically. At the end of the dinner, I emailed them Ray's Blog and said keep an open mind and wait. The truth is coming."

PennSt8er: "Let's be serious. Millions and millions of dollars have been spent TO MAKE SURE THE TRUTH IS BURIED FOREVER. That, by itself, should shed light on the fact that Franco is in the good guy side of this story."

retsio: "How could a man who espouses for a team, a student body, a university' a simple statement that encourages anyone to live a good life -- Success with Honor, not live his own personal family life covering up a despicable act by one he knew? ........Not possible at all."

ChiTownLion: "The winning formula right now seems to be a guy like Franco Harris creating a news event in defense of JVP, followed by a whole bunch of people reacting on twitter, and then our #PSUtwitter army finishing them off with supporting evidence and documented facts."

hagberg: "I'm very suspicious of the motives of the "move on" crowd. We're supposed to move on because trying to get to as much truth as possible is too daunting a task? Here's what concerns me most about moving on: by doing so, the narrative of Joe knowing about and covering up for Sandusky's actions (or alleged actions, if that's your stance) is set in stone. The resulting media response, and therefore what the logic-challenged bulk of America will believe, is that everything alleged against Joe must be true, otherwise why would his defenders have given up?"

Legion of Lions: "Taking a "Moving on" approach to this Scandal is nothing more that saying "I SUPPORT CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES by PA Officials - I don't care a SH*T about "Victims"...I only want a deteriorating "Story" about Penn State to continue to provide cover for SERIOUS criminal activities FOREVER".

We now know for a fact - TRUTH and Justice have NOT been achieved. The "Story" which the public has been led to believe in is FACTUALLY eroding daily!!!"

No offense my friend but we are a little over 40 hours away from The Game.

The cult means nothing.

Penn State won’t fight fed’s record $2.4 million fine

They may not agree with it, but they’re going to dip into their financial coffers and pay it anyway.

The U.S. Department of Education announced earlier this month that it has fined the university $2.4 million. The fine was the culmination of a five-year investigation by the federal agency into the school’s actions — or non-action, as the case may be — that found they repeatedly violated campus crime reporting requirements, including the child sex-abuse scandal involving former Joe Paterno assistant Jerry Sandusky.

Penn State fan today tells me that they'll be 4th in the playoffs because they're playing better than Ohio State and Michigan right now. We both looked like [Mark May] this weekend, and they looked great.

He was serious.

Sometimes I think BWI is all trolls trying to make Penn State fans look like renobs. Then I read something from someone in the heart of Paterno-country, and I wonder if this guy is ALSO a troll, trying to make Penn State fans look like renobs. But that's a lot of trolling. Audibles can be just as bad. Plus there's several people here. I'm not ready to wear the tinfoil hat, yet.

It is tempting to think that way sometimes, because it's so challenging to wrap one's mind around a reality where so many people are actually so delusional and/or corrupt.

Right. And I'm not SO naive that I don't know that some really are trolls. But a majority? Would the entire site be trolls? Run by a troll? Knowing about SOME trolls existing is fun. But thinking that the majority are trolls, or ALL trolls. Meh - that website would be pretty lame if that was the case.

here is my wish:

psu wins out
ttun loses to either iowa or indiana
osu beats ttun (as well as md, msu)
psu to btccg over osu
psu narrowly beats uw in btccg
cfp committee still selects osu over psu
osu wins title

pennsyltucky conspiracy theorists rant for decades

So far, everything but the bold has come true. (Which is why you gave yourself a pat on the back.)
Assuming the bold happens, that would be awesome. But I wouldn't mind getting the rematch if Penn State can get the 3 and Ohio State the 2.
I also would love to see Michigan get selected over Penn State. I hear that Herbie says, "If this and this and this, it could happen." Meh. It would be beautiful, but I don't think it would happen. I'd have to root for Bama, but I'd be afraid it would be a "bye" week for them, anyway.

I don't know, having them make it this far only to have a critical call go against them in a tough loss to wisconsin would be pretty entertaining to watch.

It doesn't have to be a critical call or a close loss. They could get called for intentional grounding in a 62-3 beatdown, and they would still complain that it cost them the game.

fortunately, an ohio state national title won't be necessary for decades of pennsyltucky conspiracy rants. it would just be the cherry on top of a bottomless sundae. if psu beats wisky but the committee selects osu, the schadenfreude will be palpable for ages regardless of the playoff outcome. the northern and eastern boundaries of ohio will turn to deserts from all the surrounding salt.

in regards to facing psu or ttun again, i'm a bit torn. i wouldn't mind facing psu as i highly doubt we'll suffer from the flukiness again and certainly think we're a superior team when not playing a consecutive night road game against an opponent coming off a bye. then again, for osu to play psu, that likely means psu beats bama.

but ttun? yeah, i can see the satisfaction of watching bama dismantling the skunkbears and booger suffering (read: whining about) the mastery of another truly great coach. on the other hand, i don't want ttun to have even a remote shot at a national title. any chance to beat bama and win the title game is way too much.
