It's a shame that the BOT gave Joesus cancer and he allowed himself to die for their sins. He may have cured the world of all afflictions by now, while winning 4 national championships. (He'd have to let other teams win a couple here and there, since He's so awesome.)

It's been discussed in the AAF thread. He looked pretty bad the first 2 games. The cult rationalized by saying his receivers couldn't catch and his o-line was terrible and he was just on a bad team. After a couple of interceptions in the first half of Game 3 (plus another that could have been intercepted) and no points, he was benched for Mettenberger, or something like that. New QB quickly led the team to a touchdown, and made it a game. I think the halftime score was 13-0 or 15-0, and the final was 21-17. It must have been 15-0, because I can't figure out how to get to 13 without 1-point conversions. Anyway, yeah - if Hackenberg gets any more playing time, it'll be because of injuries to other quarterback(s).

I didn't see any of it, but Memphis won their first game with Hackenberg sitting on the bench.

At 44 years of age ... I wanted Paterno gone even before the epic 94 squad (and ef Kerry Collins' drunken arse for trying to pick up the girl I was seeing with the line "do you know who I am?" after she responded to his initial advances with "ew!" ... and then responded to his subsequent line with "a drunken' d!ckhead!" ... he's lucky I wasn't there to snap his throwing arm when he was having trouble learning "no means no," but I digress). But I wanted Paterno gone just for purposes of advancing the success of the program.

Even at that age, I was smart enough not to buy into stories of legends and heroes. If that lesson needed any further cementing, that was accomplished when I ran into a football buddy (who, literally, and without exaggeration, once asked me how to spell a basic monosyllabic word for a paper in his remedial English course, so he could be eligible next year, as a 22 year old sophomore - WTF? - AFTER prepping at a prestigious prep school ... I was an 18 year sophomore, at the time), and he and his football pals told me they were told they were guaranteed a passing grade in a ridiculous "Arts" class (watch movies, and opine on them) as long as they showed up for class, regardless of whether they passed any quizzes/exams.

I mean, I know the typical football player gets sent down the assembly line with a token degree (advertising, communications, physical therapy, or whatever they get when they're qualified to wrap a high schooler's strained groin), but to be that brazen about it at that basic a level was simply amazing to me, considering I was a varsity athlete, as well (I received very little assistance, but I was a University Scholar, so I didn't really care). And it let me know just how ingrained the culture was.

I'm not going to opine on the rest ... all I know is that the same 22 year old soph told me JoePa was a figurehead out in lala land even back then ... but I will say that I think I'm smart enough not to idolize anyone, or anything.
