Yes, Ohio State and Michigan are absolutely to blame for this. If it weren't for Ohio State and Michigan winning the B1G year in and year out without letting the new guy in the conference get a shot forced Dear Leader into stifling any bad press (Jerry playing one eyed snake tickle monster in the Penn State football showers) so that he could get better players (that would obviously come with character isssues, you know because he had to "stoop" to OSU's and Michigan's level in recruiting per the 2007 OTL interviews) in order for Dear Leader to be competitive.
I mean, sheesh! Why can't you all see this as it is plain as day? :tinfoil:
