they apparently don't have mirrors in state collegeAbsolutely. You saw the people at Grambling and FSU try to jump on the bandwagon simply to get their coaches higher on a wins list. Truly pathetic. Of course- they did it all for the children.......

Re: After #409, Joe praised Eddie Robinson as one of the true pioneers and
Bob, excellent points. I was at 409, and Joe immediately honored Robinson in the post-game ceremony. As usual, Joe didn't make it about Joe.

I guess with the former statue site, the now-renovated shower area, and a few other points of interest, they can get a whole twisted set of Stations of the PSU Cross. Blargh.
When the 85 scholarship rule was instituted many schools, the SEC, Big12 & PAC10 worked the system by taking away the scholarship from non-performing players. Joe Paterno never did that, every kid that was recruited and kept his grades up kept his scholarship, and a few that didn't kept theirs as well. Penn State held the graduation rate high and all the cheaters hated him for it. College football owes having instant replay to Joe Paterno who ran that Ref/Ann Arbor Rich guy/Michigan Booster, ripped him around and waved his finger in the Ref's face.
He stood behind players wrongly accused of crimes, played them and they were all exonerated.
Just to be fair, since we were playing football with universities who were more interested in basketball we never had our own ref's, meaning we were always getting screwed, yet we still won.
The examples of the cheating Universities and Bowl Game organizations are in great supply, such as Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, USC, UNC, Syracuse, Rutgers, Washington, LSU, the Fiesta Bowl. One thing though regarding Penn State's downfall, it is only corrupt ex-FBI personnel and the Media, the a$$holes of society that are reveling in PSU misfortune. These other institutions have been proven to be corrupt as schools that have cheated to win football games.
Basically the Big 10 and NCAA are out to get Penn State at every chance and JoePa is a saint.....the usual cult rhetoricHas anybody noticed that the Big Ten Network never airs anything about Penn State? I wonder why we have let our university to be used so badly for money. I would bet that if Rod had called the NCAA's bluff we wouldn't be where we are now, only because of the impact on the television revenues our departure would have caused.

Which, of course, is admirable when Joe does it, however if anyone else tries that shit they're just out for the wins and letting their players run wild!He stood behind players wrongly accused of crimes, played them and they were all exonerated.
Yet every week it seems as though they NEVER got a bad call before they were in the Big Ten...Just to be fair, since we were playing football with universities who were more interested in basketball we never had our own ref's, meaning we were always getting screwed, yet we still won.

3 "....we never had our own refs..."
Admission that they did indeed have their own refs, and giving meaning to the next clause, only when they got their own refs did they "not get screwed"
Oh, I am sure that's what that cultist thinks he meant. lol.ORD_Buckeye;2362298; said:I'm reading it as "we never had our own refs, but won anyways." I think he's going so far as to claim that the basketball schools controlled the refs, but JoePed was so good they won anyways, leading to the standard cult narrative that it was only when JoePed ran up against the evil master plan of Delaney-Ohio State-Michigan and their fixed, corrupt officiating was Dear Leader Pa Joe Il's superior coaching thwarted. JoePed could overcome some corrupt officiating, but not at the level the Big Ten threw at him.
Now, a normal human being would look at Ped Aggy's transition to the Big Ten and say that it was the increase in competition from playing those basketball schools to playing Ohio State, Michigan, a resurgent Wisconsin and a decent Sparty that exposed JoePed. The cultist?

The definitions of "success" and "honor" are pretty loose in this context...Drep88;2363288; said:http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2013/08/new_joe_paterno_billboard_alon.html
