Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

[exhawg]

I just assumed Baylor snagged a player or two who left about the same time as Silas Redd. I have no idea if that's true, though.

This might be the case. The only guy I can think of was Phil Taylor, but that was before the sanctions.

Confirmed: Penn State tried to lure Condi Rice for president

Pennsylvania State University apparently was hunting for some star power in its new president.

The university-hired search firm tried to lure former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, but was turned down.

Rice, who served under President George W. Bush and was the first female African American secretary of state, is a political science professor at Stanford University and a senior fellow on public policy at the Hoover Institution.

Rice's office confirmed the overture Friday.

"We received a request about this position through a search firm," said Georgia Godfrey, Rice's chief of staff. "Our office declined on her behalf, since she intends to remain at Stanford. Penn State is a fine institution, and Dr. Rice wishes the search committee the very best."

Penn State spokeswoman Lisa Powers declined to comment.

You know, they used to send Paterno on this type of university recruiting mission. Guess they'd better warm up the cardboard cutout.

If Joe were alive, they'd give the job to one of his old coaches or former players.

Has Cardboard Joe been in the luxury boxes this season?

Tried to lure her? Huh - maybe they didn't realize that laying out trails of candy leading to the showers generally only attracts children.





Oh, and ants. Do you WANT to get ants? Because THIS is how you get ants.

They should have turned to that Shakespearean fellow who wrote the opus to BOB about recruiting.

I bet he could come up with a plan that would make her drool.

I disagree. You were mediocre at best BEFORE the sanctions (except for 2005 and 2008). Now you're just bad.

Too many threads to link. BWI is in meltdown mode.

One guy mentioned that the refs did a good job.

Not watching the the same game I watched... Reply
Bad call on the downed punt on the half yard line. Lots of holding non-calls even mentioned by the PSU radio broadcast team. Bad spots in favor of MN and ones unfavorable to PSU. Subtle, but effective ways of screwing PSU anyway the B10 can.

Same ol' playbook by the cult:
If Game=Win, make outrageous claims like, "We're back" and "We have a chance to win it all!!!"
If Game=Loss, blame the refs.

 

[OsUPhAn]

Those damn refs. They didn't even penalize PSU until 9 minutes left in the 3d quarter. It's a clear conspiracy that they only wanted to screw them subtlety so they didn't actually penalize them. The fix is in.
