Please. Give them their due. JoePa appears to have started an international trend, as this Dutch bungee jumper shows:

When will the University and some sane members of the University community shout down or condem these radicals?

I think the administration made a couple of serious mistakes with the cult. First, they thought that if they just let them throw their tantrum, they would play themselves out rather quickly and go back to their lives. Wrong. These people will never give up on JoePed's redemption and 409. It's the only thing that gives meaning to their lives.

Second, I think they miscalculated the depths to which the cult had effected the alumni base. I'm sure that they thought it was confined to some hard core "football first" t-shirt fans and a few message board imbeciles. Wrong. As their board of trustee elections have clearly demonstrated the cult mentality is the dominant alumni mentality.

JoePed really twisted that entire university around his cult of personality, and there's no easy way out of it for the saner elements of the faculty and administration and will result in a lot of people jumping ship. You're already seeing massive declines in applications from both out of state and honors level applicants, and I think the next stage will be an exodus of faculty capable of getting other offers.

I'm not sure who allowed this farce of a "film" to be shown in the great state of Ohio but they should be driven to the PA border and banned from entering Ohio again...

IgnoreThe Joe We Know event at Pro Football HOF, 5/4/13Reply My wife and I attended The Joe We Know event held last night at the Pro Football HOF. It was sponsored by the Cleveland and Akron-Canton chapters and football letterman Roger Duffy. It was a nice event. $75 per person. The event ran from 5 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., with a buffet dinner and Peachy Paterno ice cream, but entry into the HOF and 15% discount at the gift shop were also included. We had never been to the HOF before.

The film is excellent. Funny in parts, serious in others, and emotional in others. I love the fact that they did not identify the players. They just let them speak. If you haven't seen it, check the link provided here periodically for additional showings. It is well worth it.

It has probably been said here, but it is worth repeating. The film was originally intended to be a birthday gift to Joe in 2011. When he got sick, the producers figured they would show it to him when was well enough. When Joe unexpectedly died on January 22, 2012, the producers arranged a showing for Sue and family on her birthday, February 14, 2012. From there, word spread and demand grew, and arrangements were made to show the film to alumni. The movie is not available for purchase at this time.

A requirement for the film to be shown is that at least one football letterman be present. Last night, they had five -- Roger Duffy, Dave Robinson, Todd Blackledge, Eric Hamilton, and Dan Leri. Dan is currently Director of Innovation Park at Penn State and is one of the men behind The Joe We Know.

Dave Robinson is a big man, no surprise, but is soft-spoken and very nice to talk with. It was especially nice to meet him in Canton last night, seeing as he is being inducted into the Pro Football HOF this year.

Todd Blackledge is also very pleasant. I met him once before in State College and had a similar experience. Not surprisingly, he was mobbed for photos and autographed after the event, but he was gracious and didn't turn anyone away.

Todd spoke briefly at the end of the event and provided a very important message. He said that we can support the current football team and look to the future of this university in a positive way but still defend the past and fight for the truth. He said we can do both. He is absolutely right.

All in all, it was a great day. If any of the event's organizers are online here, thank you.

Re: If not for the JS Scandal and Joe's firing, would we have had a shot at OB?Reply

Joe had lined up Urban Meyer as his predesessor.

Before the scandal broke and all hell broke loose this was not only a top ten job in college sports but in ALL of sports. There is a never truly a pick of the litter scenario when it comes to coaching openings but it would have been close. I do not feel like I am going overboard.

I really think it would have been Urban MyerHe was Joe's pick IMO.

I believe urban Meyer would be our coAch. The scandal changed everything

Holy. Fucking. Shit. They truly are a delusional fan base. I am sorry, but this has to be the dumbest fucking thread I have seen on the that message board in a long time.

Seriously, where in the fuck did they get that Meyer was even interested in that backwoods inbred cess pool?

I think a lot of people, including the NCAA underestimated the "cult". But in the end it will just give more amusement watching the crash and burn.

As someone who was on the receiving end of more than a few death threats from the cult, I will say that they are true "dead-enders."

IgnoreIs this forum relevant?Reply I believe it is. Aside from the over-the-top comments and outside bashers many people are offering up important questions and others continue to hold the BOT's feet to the fire. And people are reading, which has brought propaganda into it, such as comments from Cruisi..66 and the political add from candidates.

Still, the one point that emerges over and over again is the Students and Alumni's insistence for the completion of due process, for the facts to be disseminated.

Yet, through all of the BS what we want is the one thing we can't get. I ask you why that would be? In my heart, after watching Coach Paterno closely since 1968, as a student in the mid 1970's and as a season ticket holder I just do not believe Joe Paterno was anything other than a victim.

Joe wasn't perfect and as an educator and football coach he did step on peoples toes. As several former players have said, they hated Joe as a player but the older they got, the smarter Joe got.

Joe Paterno is a man who thumbed his nose at President Nixon, who benched the Heisman Trophy winner for getting stupid drunk at the Sugar Bowl, who stood up for the falsely accused Richard Casey under extreme pressure from the media whom he ignored, who chased down that BIG Ref who was an Ann Arbor businessman and Michigan booster, ripped him around, pointed his finger at him and read him the riot act. Joe is the reason college football has instant replay and has given every college player a better chance of playing in a fairly called game, except for Penn State of course, see the Nebraska game last year.

There is more going on and more going wrong at Penn State. The harder they work to have us forget the more certain I am of it.

You know, it would be one thing if this group of cultists were showing any signs of moving on with their football lives. Instead, we are treated with daily hilarity from BWI and Audibles, when these scumbag subhuman mutant cretins go all Jonesboro on anyone and everyone. Cults man.

IgnoreRe: Is this forum relevant?Reply The virtuous giant at PSU was thrown under the bus to protect the monsters that run the school. PSU football was not perfect but it was darn close to it this day in collegiate athletics.

The departmental leadership at PSU is way beyond just being corrupt. I agree that something worse than anything that ever could have been said of the football program lies beneath.

And before some smartass questions that, YES I KNOW THAT IS WORSE AND NO I do not hope that is the case. That would be devastating beyond imagination but then again irreparable harm has already been inflicted upon the school by these same people that now more than ever have nothing to lose. That was beyond my imagination also. It a horror story and we are the lambs or at least supposed to be.

Wait just a gosh darned minute......

I thought Joe was a confused old man who was so far removed from everyday society that he didn't even have the mental acuity to understand what pedophilia was and was so far removed from reality that he couldn't have had any idea what Jerry was doing with those boys....

Now you're telling me that he truly was the puppet-master who pulled each and every string in Happy Valley, to the point where he could dictate to his supervisors who his successor was going to be?

Which one is real, 'cause they can't both be......
