Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

A poster on PSU's scout board said he would like to see the PA state government get involved.

He would like for Tom Corbett to sue the NCAA for "overstepping their boundaries," if PSU is hit with sanctions. Then he "would send in the PA state police. It would get ugly real fast."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

At the end of the day, it strikes right at the crux of the problem. Paterno was so wrapped up in this myth of not just being clean, not just being better than everyone else but of an image of Godlike perfection that his staff didn't commit (even inadvertently) the most minor of infractions.

He might have been a hero had he hung JS out to dry in 1998, but he (and his program) would not have been perfect. He couldn't show the rest of the world even that slightest bit of humanity. I also have little doubt that he rationalized it in terms of his "Grand Experiment" being of such majestic importance to the nation that some kids (losers from broken homes anyways) sacrificed to a monster, was an acceptable price to pay.
I still can't believe they called it the Grand Experiment. Not to go all Godwin's Law.....but that's some Nazi sounding shit.

Well, since you went there:


Joseph Goebbels
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
Joe Paterno
If we make the Grand Experiment big enough and keep repeating how infallible and perfect it is, people will eventually come to believe it. The myth that is the Grand Experiment can be maintained only for such time as Penn State can shield the people from what we allow Jerry Sandusky to do using our facilities and influence. It thus becomes vitally important for me to use all of my powers to repress knowledge of these acts, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the Grand Experiment, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of my legacy.

...Who is responsible for recommending Louis Freeh?

...Why havent the aforementioned BOT who KNEW AND THEN LIED about knowing of the investigation not resigned?

...Why hasnt Gov Corbett been labeled a PEDOPHILE ENABLER? He sits on the BOT and he did NOTHING to limit JS on campus.

It is beyond my descriptive abilities to describe how amazing/disgusting/baffling it is that people can say something like this and not see that the same standard applies to Paterno.

I seriously think this guy is capable of violence if the statue comes down or the death penalty hits. Hopefully, the gun will be turned inward.

Hopefully he's already incarcerated. prisontalk does get a little boring after a while.

People really do need to stop and think about the innocent victims of all this......the PSU fanbase.

Maybe the PSU fanbase needs to stop and think about that. JoePa fucked them, too. Yet, they continue to defend him.

Their students are paying dearly...NO ONE GETS THAT. They might have to spend time at PSU without a football team. Their friends at other schools are probably giving them a ton of shit on Facebook. WHAT IS THE BOT DOING ABOUT THIS?!?!?

They got lucky this year with their away games.

September 15 Navy Home - 3:30 PM
September 22 Temple Home
September 29 Illinois Away
October 6 Northwestern - Homecoming Game Home - Noon
October 13 Open
October 20 Iowa Away - 8PM
October 27 Ohio State Home - 6PM
November 3 Purdue Away

November 17 Indiana Home
November 24 Wisconsin Home

UVa, Tha Kid's Illini, Iowa, Purdue, & Husker.

I only see Purdue possibly being really irate but I might be wrong as I know nothing about UVa or Illinois fanbases.

I am optimistically looking at this in a completely different way. Among others, LSU, TCU, Miami (Fl), Va Tech, UConn, and UVA currently have open dates on October 27th, 2012.

Maybe we could convince one of these teams to cancel one of their non-conference games to get the OSU payday, after PSU deservedly gets the death penalty. While some of these opponents could be extremely difficult...at least none of them have been publicly shown to have actively hidden the evidence of child rape.

(My vote is TCU in what I would call the "E. Gordon Gee Bowl")
