Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Well, the Ped State people have political backing from their Gov. and Congress to get the NCAA to "ease up". The NCAA took an extreme position based on the Freeh Report and it just won't stick in a court in Pennsylvania. I expect that(ease up) will happen again in some form. Cleary Act stuff will go away. Statue will come out of "retirement".
I gave up looking for any real "justice" in this.

Those punks at the Collegian have no clueReply
Those words they reference... "Paterno," "Sandusky case," "Honor the past" will go away once the past has been rectified, the wins have been restored, the lousy BOT management swept from power, the money returned from both the NCAA and the alleged victims and the statue or another monument erected to honor JVP. But we will never forget.

There is no gravity. Pennsylvania sucks enough to service the entire planet.

Re: No Surprise: Collegian Editorial Goes after Alice PopeReply

I'm not going to go into details, but the Collegian isn't being forced to publish anything by the university. Go in the newsroom and you'll notice it's devoid of non-students. The paper is also independent of the university from an editorial standpoint. Do I agree with all that's published? No, but I'm realistic that the views expressed aren't forced upon the staff.

As to this editorial, it's 100% right. As a student I'm getting sick of hearing about all these trustees stuck on shit that doesn't benefit tomorrow, but instead only brings attention to the gloried past. Pride in the past should breed a desire for greatness in the future, but instead I just keep hearing about football. I like football, a lot, but I don't give a damn about it if it distracts from the education I receive. People here complain about the insular, non-transparent things that occur at the university, but then want an insular group of people that have a singular focus to be in control. What you want is what you claim to hate, just with different names in place.

Joe's legacy, in terms of the future of the University means very, very little. Sorry to drop that truth bomb on you, but it is what it is.

Being a current student is part of the problem. Students live in the safe cocoon of State College where the most important thing most of them have to do is go to class and study. Life is great and everyone is having a good time. What will happen when they enter the real world and a job interviewer asks them to give an opinion about Sandusky as if they knew him personally?? This has already happened to alums in job interviews. Like it or not, Joe's legacy is an important part of the reputation of the university. He and Sue spent considerable time and money to make the university what it is. It's fair to say they have done more to push the university toward excellence than anyone alive today, especially the November 2011 BoT. Finding the truth will only help future alumni. I would think current students would welcome this.

The vile cult shows its true intentions and be damned to the school's main mission to actually educate people.

The students have their priorities right. Get an education(and have an occasional party) and get out in the world and make money. They don't care about the 409 wins. They don't care about the statue. It's ancient history.

How difficult is it to answer that question? Do you want to hire someone who thinks child abuse is OK? Do you want to hire someone who doesn't see that entities that fail to carry out their moral duty can, and should be, punished? Do you have to know Jerry Sandusky personally to be able to answer such a question?

Well, roughly half of the current student body were not on the PedSU campus when Joesus was coach. (And the students who were there know Joesus as a frail, confused old man - a caricature more than anything else.) He is rapidly becoming more and more irrelevant and it's just driving the cult crazy......

When talking about the lawsuit, the cultists keep banging the "facts-will-come-out-and-the-truth-will-set-Joesus-free" drum. What sort of non-smoking gun do they think is going to be uncovered? If anything definitive is found, it is not going to be good news for the Joesus camp. I seriously doubt they're going to find a memo from Spanier/Schmitz/Curley stating "Good thing Joe never knew anything about this stuff...... (What with his thoughts on ruining weekends and all.)."

I'm sure deep down they know that more likely than not there won't be anything found that proves Joe was in on it. He didn't build up that bullshit image and that CFB empire of his because he was a dumbass. I'm surprised they even found as much as they did. So if they can just act like they want the truth no matter what to come out, they can assume moral superiority when nothing ever comes from that.
