Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Of course a later post in the thread says "I'm seriously starting to worry about your well beaing" :slappy:

But it wasn't directed at Bushwood but rather at this guy!

who want the whole world to see just how butthurt and football-obsessed they are. The reporters have neither updated nor given further comment since yesterday afternoon. ALL of the energy this story has is being supplied by PSU FB fans. All of it. Take a look at this thread. A story that NOBODY from PSU FB has even bothered to deny, either because it is all true or it is so tiny on the radar it does not matter, has loons claiming she INVADED HIS PRIVACY and it may not even be true, since all we have is her eyewitness account (and, they forget to say, the silence of everyone else who was there who could speak up if some terrible injustice has been done).

Everyone better listen a little more closely to those who say that PSU fans are rabid nuts who care only about football and upholding an image of FB players as pure as the driven snow even if it is not true

The cult is on him.

From the above article, this is kind of a scary paragraph that will allow those who wish to misrepresent history to do so until the end of time:

"That case and the whistleblower lawsuit are moving, slowly, on parallel tracks in separate county courthouses. At stake are the lives of three men, as well as how history will judge the NCAA, the Freeh report and Joe Paterno. And much of the outcome will hinge on how jurors weigh McQueary's credibility and the veracity of his recollections about those 30 to 45 seconds in the locker room on Feb. 9, 2001. In the last act of college football's most damning scandal, the final word belongs to Mike McQueary."

Report says McQueary was abused and battled gambling problem

Former Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary, one of the key witnesses in the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State, claimed to some anonymous Penn State wide receivers that he too was abused. According to a report by ESPN The Magazine, McQueary cleared the air during a meeting with Penn State receivers just three days after the release of a grand jury presentment detailing the information discovered in an investigation that would rip through the Penn State community.

It is not known whether McQueary was abused. It is only known that he told players he was a victim of abuse at a time when his decision to leave the locker room without stopping Sandusky was being criticized in State College and beyond, including by Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett.

“It made it even more personal for him,” one of the players said.

The report does not say when McQueary was allegedly abused or when the abuse may have happened. According to the grand jury presentment, McQueary witnessed former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky in a football building shower with a young boy. Startled by what he saw, McQueary later went to former Penn State head coach Joe Paterno in an attempt to discuss what he saw and how to handle it.

One of the biggest questions following the release of this information many have had was why McQueary did not handle it another way. If he was indeed abused in his past, you can start to piece together that the situation may have been a bit more emotional in the heat of the moment for McQueary. Does that make him not guilty of not doing more? That may always be a matter of perception and opinion, and the story may or may not change as time goes by.

The magazine report also suggests McQueary battled a gambling problem while at Penn State and suggests he gambled on college football in addition to pro sporting events and playing poker. It is not known how many Penn State football games McQueary may have had a bet involved, but the report does say Penn State’s 1996 game against Michigan State was one of them. Penn State failed to cover the spread.

Where this goes from here is anybody’s guess.

I picture him spending his days in some dank basement, wearing a sweat-stained 1995 Rose Bowl T-shirt, covered in cheeto dust, empty bottles of cheap vodka lining his feet, pounding out this endless paragraphs...yelling at his mom to bring him a meatloaf sandwich and some Sunny D.
I always thought of him more like this...........................

Turns out, this more accurately describes Mike McQueary's life today.

In a completely shocking turn of events, the geniuses over on BWI have now extrapolated from the revelations about McQueary that the Ginger never saw anything (despite Joesus himself admitting that he had) and has no credibility at all.

If the Ginger gambled
Sandusky never rambled

If you deconstruct the cult's worldview and JoePed's place within, it truly takes on a messianic, Christ narrative. And of course, Joesus fed this every step of the way.

Joesus was a humble man despite his otherworldly greatness.
Joesus only wanted to make the (college athletics) world better through his selfless example
Joesus left an example and a legacy of how the (college athletics) world should be: success with honor and the grand experiment.
Joesus was a (relatively) poor man making only a couple of hundred grand and giving most of that away to the library.

And because of his saintly goodness........

The existing power structure was jealous of and threatened by Joesus for his teaching and the example he was setting
Joesus was persecuted for being a rebel shaking up the existing order
Joesus was betrayed by those closest to him
Joesus, in his dying days, was publicly humiliated and scorned
Joesus was driven to his death by those who were both threatened by him and unwilling to accept his greatness and the truth of his message.

To be followed by......

Joesus left behind a band of true believers (disciples if you will) who know the true story and will never stop fighting (and spreading the gospel) until it becomes the accepted and universal truth of the land.

And obvious to anyone who's spent any time around them...........

They--through their connection and devotion to Joesus--are better than the rest of the (college football) world. They are more noble and honorable solely through the reflected light of Joesus and their devotion to his teachings.
