DA-Bucks;2182848; said:I have a confession. I did something bad. I created a fake BWI account known as The Flying Wasp and over a VPN I tried to pose as a rational PSU fan (knowing it would end badly). I started this experiment over a week ago and all my posts were polite and well thought out.
Simply put, I responded to a few posts saying I couldn't pretend that everyone was culpable from the Janitor to the Governor, except JoePa. I gave several reasons. When I encountered a post that from Mt.Nittany that this was not a football problem, I posted a *lot* of reasons why it was.
My angle was PSU needed the Freeh report to preempt the Charles Robinsons' of the world wouldn't bring these stories forward over the next several years as to draw out the misery of Penn state with a death of a 1,000 large paper cuts. (which I do believe).
The vitriol I encountered was amazing, especially from Tom McAndrew - who replied with several long posts that made virtually no actual sense. I had Sg. Carter post to my fan page cussing me out. I added him as a buddy. Most my posts, while completely well reasoned always had a few guys screaming maniacally. Btw most of my posts were before we knew about sanctions coming.
It's amazing that place is a cult because the board moderator will ban anyone who doesn't think just like him. I know of a couple sane long time PSU posters who were banned recently for the same reason.
Penn State fans are lunatics, but BWI encourages everyone to be insane, they really promote the cult behavior. I know most people know this, but it was awesome to mess with them and see what happens to a rational "fan".
In summary: Fuck Penn State.

Hodgepodge;2182858; said:So, how about this for unprecedented.... ban the whole athletic department from postseason play for a period of time. That will teach the PSU lunatic fringe to proclaim that this isn't a football issue.

Our good friend Matt Hayes takes the opportunity to tie in the Ohio State scandal to child rape. All in good fun I'm sure.
But there will be no action. No death penalty. No Roger Goodell disciplinarian replica. No conference banishment. No cutting Penn State from the lucrative Big Ten Network trough. In the end, they'll be treated no different than a school that looked the other way when boosters bought players and academic "advisers" changed test grades.
Penn State will lose scholarships and bowl opportunities because of its lack of institutional control. But that's it.
The Big Ten is understandably panicked. The moral high ground it long assumed is crumbling underneath its feet. Its two most high-profile head football coaches -- Ohio State's Jim Tressel and Paterno -- lost their jobs within months of each other last year because they lied about what they knew regarding football-related scandals.
They lied because it was more important to protect a now-fraudulent ideal of institutional righteousness as well as an annual revenue stream of tens of millions of dollars that has effectively made the football coach far more powerful than the university president.
