Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Joe Paterno knew this year was his last before it even started. He was arranging with Urban Meyer to take over the program because it would have almost assuredly allowed Jay to keep coaching here. Really...it was almost set in stone before the BOT went on their firing rampage. Once Paterno was fired, all influence he had to bring Meyer in was gone and so Meyer...who had remained silent all year to reserve his spot....was given an easy decision: Go back to OSU.

Ohio State couldn't get Stoops and several others and had to "settle" for Tressel. Michigan and Notre Dame couldn't get their first picks either, but Penn State was everybody's dream job until Sandusky and the BOT ruined it by firing JoPa.

Amazing what you can learn from these folks. Just amazing.

It's a shame the comments section was closed for this article, but some great stuff from a PSU alum, nevertheless, as he laments the lack of perspective demonstrated by reaction to the O'Brien hire.

Love it! I knew there had to be some sane people left in PedState. I feel for them--their lives can't be much fun, surrounded by all that madness--a few lonely voices crying out in the wilderness.

I can't tell you how annoying it is to hear this debate right now, to witness people actually focus on this hire as though it means anything, as though the school deserves better. It [censored]es me off that members of my university continue to live in a cult-like vacuum, where the day-to-day decision-making of a doomed program is analyzed without anyone looking around and realizing that it's about as important as rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It [censored]es me off that people are wasting their breath discussing this hire, while only referencing the child molestation fiasco that shook the university to the core as "the scandal" or "the debacle," like it's ancient history. It's insulting, it's sad, it's pathetic, and it makes me ashamed to be even slightly related to this college.

So, you don't like the hire? Well guess what... YOU DON'T DESERVE A COACH YOU LIKE!!!!!!!! No **** you're not happy with the guy running the football team! No one wants to go to the school where little kids got raped! No one gives a **** about the football program anymore - that's part of the consequences! And by the way, don't you dare delude yourself into thinking that the football team deserves better, because IT DOESN'T. This school deserves everything it's about to get; it deserves enrollment to drop by the thousands, it deserves philanthropists to withdraw their funding, it even deserves the Death Penalty, because no college scandal ever allowed anything in the realm of what happened at Penn State. For Christ's sake, kids got raped in the locker room of the team shower! Penn State is lucky that the football program even exists at all, and you seriously want to write about how disappointed you are that the new guy didn't meet your super-secret criteria, and that it's "a failure on every level for Dave Joyner"? Yeesh.

This author's a great read all around. Worth the time to search out other articles: uncompromising integrity, in everything I've read so far.

This is an example of delusion. Clarke and Gambrell are released from scholorship, and the Ped Staters read this as two players voluntarily leaving due to problems at tOSU:

Certainly. They had to go at this point. What's amusing is that the pederast lovers infer that the seperation was initiated by the players, and not a coaching decision. Although another PsU board took the opinion that it was Urban cutting bait on some dud players because he was planning on oversigning.

Yeah, ever since they got that O'Mally fellow, they've really been locking down their class. I knew Tom Brady was garbage without O'Brandies and now we're in real trouble.

I don't know about you guys but the Nits sure seem to be trending upward. B1G better be worried.
