Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

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 and threatened of 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.

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

And a new one, trying to whitewash the 95 Rutgers fiasco by saying that MM had money on the game, which is why he unilaterally ran up the score himself. It's a minor event in the grand scheme, but speaks to the "squeaky clean dear leader at all costs" mentality you speak of.

This is why I disliked the man so much. He was such an obvious phoney and everybody bought in to it because he was old. Even before we knew about the Sandusky shit, everything he said or did was a contrived act to make him look humble or like a lovable grandpa.

Oh that Joe! He doesn't get what Twitter is, how hilarious!

The news teaser yesterday was, "Latest on the Sandusky case: New information brings McQueary's credibility into question."

There's a reason I don't watch the local news here. (Actually, I temped at the news station awhile back to supplement freelancing. The weather guy kept asking me what weather he should forecast. There is a good chance he wasn't joking.)

So, the ginger was betting on games when he was Joesus' assistant coach? How 'bout when he was on the team - playing or serving as the backup? Surely this is an NCAA violation of some sort........

Anyone besides me hoping that more of Joesus' remaining wins get taken away?

I think the example they mentioned was while he was on the team but not the starter. They won but didn't cover the spread so he lost.

Not to plaigarize your work, but I'd like to see someone post that on BWI in a way that doesn't appear sarcastic. I bet he'd get a lot of friends, over there. You'd need a new name, ORD, if you tried it. I'd try it, but, CRIPES - it's like $10 a month. I'm not giving those cultists my money.

My friends and I always joked that McQueary had to have had money on the game.

The cult is so fucking blind in wanting the agreement that Eriksen signed torn up. The last thing they should want is the NCAA spending a couple of years pouring through what happened under Joesus' reign. Just what we know is bad enough and should have resulted in the death penalty.

  • Having a university VP fired because she fought to have football players brought under the same university disciplinary procedures as regular students
  • The football coach mandating that the athletic department would not take part in federal law (Clery Act reporting).
  • No independent compliance office whatsoever
  • Parks & Rec degrees for all my friends
  • Administratively shuffling non-graduates off to regional campuses so as not to effect Joesus' grad rates
  • Paterno loyalists given academic jobs when they retired from coaching
  • And now an assistant coach--suspiciously given a six figure coaching job after witnessing Sandusky raping a kid--being shown to have bet on Penn State games while both a player and coach.

That's just what's come out since Joesus' was nailed to his cross. Imagine what part of the iceberg is still under water.

I used to agree with you. Letting the NCAA come in would be the best thing for Penn State haters like myself, and the worst thing for them.

Now I look at the NCAA and realize they could fuck up the recipe for ice. I'm not so sure I want them starting from scratch. I don't think they'd even try to find anything. It would be glorious to find the fancy cars and gym bags of cash that surely appear on every campus of a big time school, but I have serious doubts the NCAA could find it....and if they did, they'd probably forget about it on their way back to their cars.
