Battle of Thermopylae
Some people have apparently questioned whether we?re playing for anything over the next several years. What?
The answer is the Battle of Thermopylae recently popularized in the movie ?300.? The battle was fought to buy time for the Greeks to mobilize. It was fought with 300 Spartans against over 100,000 Persians. Just like the narrow coastal pass that limited that battle front, football is waged with eleven men per team on the field at any one time. A larger adversarial force can be rendered meaningless.
Penn State is fighting for a unique place in the annals of college football history. This is the stuff legends are made from. We're fighting for time so in a few short years we mobilize at full strength and take everything back.

Comparing your pederast enabling culture to a culture that ritualized child rape as a rite of passage into manhood = win

This gonna be good. Unless Spanier attempts to say that those e-mails are out and out forgeries what possible defense does he have? He can't even really try to pin it all on JoePed because that would just show him to have been a figurehead president.

If he's going after the Freeh report, the cult will get behind him provided he doesn't try and throw Dear Leader under the bus.

I laughed when I saw this and read people joking about the "Sandusky Showers" and "Paterno Blinds". Maybe I'm going to hell, because there's really nothing funny about any of this.

Except the Penn State fans crying about their 112 vacated wins and their missing statue. And their planned "peaceful" protests. And their forums. And their recruits. But all the other stuff - that's not funny. Hee hee! DAMMIT!!!

I was going to look at Penn State's yearly results to mock the fact that taking "everything" back would involve getting back to being a middle-of-the-pack Big Ten team again.

Then I ran across this and thought it was a better illustration of what Penn State has become.

That will never not be in the record books.

Question for the board...will they ever reach 500? If so, how long does it take them?

If they average 5-3 in conference, they'd be 500 in a decade. And me thinks 5-3 would be very generous over the next several years...

I won't go as far as saying it's impossible, but if they just go .500 in conference for the next decade, that has to be seen as a victory for them considering the sanctions.

I'd say it will be 30 years on the outside...

The cult takes to the Amazon review pages of "Paterno"...

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth it to find out that Joe Paterno did not molest children (as 45% think he did) August 21, 2012
By Dear Old State
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
As you read this highly anticipated book, ask whether you will be able to discern the basic facts of this case better than all other Americans, who according to a recent scientific poll containing eight true/false questions, averaged a "correct response" rate of only 21% (far worse than just guessing at the answers).

Will this book overcome the massive amount of misinformation and ignorance instilled by media coverage to date? The insights revealed in this book hold the promise to do so.

Quoting from a recent op-ed by documentary film-maker, John Ziegler (slightly paraphrased and edited for brevity):

A massive and catastrophic injustice has been done by the vast majority of the media coverage of the Jerry Sandusky scandal, a ratings-driven pack mentality that has created a mostly inaccurate impression of what happened. The highly respected firm, Wilson Perkins Allen Opinion Research, performed a scientific nationwide public poll on 1,000 Americans.

The "headline" of the poll is undoubtedly that an incredible 45 percent of those questioned think that Joe Paterno may have been accused of child molestation. An absurd 28 percent say that it is absolutely "true" that Paterno was actually accused of that. But these stunning results are only the tip of this insane-making iceberg.

Of the eight simple true/false questions asked, there was only one in which over 50 percent of Americans got the answer correct (and that was when just 55 percent knew Paterno had not been accused of child molestation), and in six of the questions the respondents did significantly worse than if they had just guessed.

To be clear, WPA tested very straightforward facts that the media has largely ignored because it didn't fit their preferred narrative of Joe Paterno/Penn State covering up for a known pedophile.

These results leave zero doubt that the media has allowed there to be a massive amount of misinformation and ignorance in the general populace about what really likely happened in this sad story.

The power of repetition and the misimpression that it can create could not be any clearer than from the result that shows barely over half the country understands that Joe Paterno was not accused of molesting children. It is obvious that Paterno's name has been used far more often by the media in connection with the words "child sexual abuse" scandal than that of Jerry Sandusky. Clearly, this has created a grotesque misunderstanding of reality.

More results of the scientific poll:

Despite the paucity of other perspective now being aired in the media, only 52% of Americans say that the media coverage of Joe Paterno during the scandal has been fair and accurate.

And despite being designed for respondents to easily recognize the correct answers of mostly true/false questions, the poll results indicate that only 55% of Americans know that Joe Paterno was not accused of molesting children.

Similarly, an incredible 68% incorrectly thought that a description of the little covered Syracuse child abuse case was actually that of the so called Penn State scandal (an astounding 1 % correctly identified Syracuse, despite it being a multiple choice question).

Overall, respondents collectively failed to achieve even close to a meager 60% "success" rate on ANY of eight simple true/false questions about the basic facts of the case. On six of the nine overall "knowledge" questions respondents did FAR worse than if they had simply guessed. The average "correct response" rate for all eight true/false questions was a stunningly low 21%.

Just in case that last sentence got past readers, be advised that on a true/false test, a monkey should get 50 percent right. For folks to get only 21 percent seems almost impossible.

The percentages of respondents who answered correctly regarding the truth of the following statements:

Jerry Sandusky had already retired as a football coach when he was found in the Penn State locker room shower with a young boy. Correct answer: TRUE, 23%

Joe Paterno arranged for the person in charge of Penn State campus police to be informed of the shower allegation involving Jerry Sandusky. Correct answer: TRUE, 25%

Jerry Sandusky was acquitted of the rape charge in the allegation made by Mike McQueary, the witness in the Sandusky shower allegation. Correct answer: TRUE, 10%

The Freeh Report did not speak to the five Penn State people most closely connected to the case. Correct answer: TRUE, 15%

The witness in the Sandusky shower allegation, Mike McQueary, testified inaccurately about the year in which the incident took place. Correct answer: TRUE, 12%

The Freeh Report found emails written by Joe Paterno directing a cover up of the scandal. Correct answer: FALSE, 17%

If after reading this book, you are able to do better than that guessing monkey, consider your investment well worth it.
