Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Here is a highly-entertaining thread (already over 100 posts in less than six hours) in which the Cult rants about hated Harrisburg Patriot-News columnist Dave Jones naming the four people most responsible for Penn St. football surviving the sanctions. Jones' choices: Rodney Erickson, Bill O'Brien, George Mitchell and Jim Delany. Naturally, the Cult is enraged at the choices of Erickson and Delany in particular and the exclusion of Michael Mauti. :slappy:

In reading the article, David Jones doesn't really credit Jim Delany. Delany is only mentioned once in a tangential fashion --- the 3 people are really only Erickson, O'Brien and Mitchell.

FWIW, I do think Michael Mauti (who some people here don't like, fair enough) should be on that list. I think Emmert was too worried about possible legal implications to invoke an actual death penalty, so he tried to do it indirectly with the combination of the long Bowl ban and free transfer rights.

If 25 or more players had left Penn State in August 2012, then it would have REALLY been all over for Penn State football.

I don't think people on here dislike Mauti nearly as much as there are guffaws at putting a Mauti helmet sticker on the helmets after he tore his ACL. That is usually reserved for the domain of players/coaches/owners who have passed away or, at the very least, suffered a paralyzing injury.

I dislike him because he's a Penn State player. But if I didn't hate anything and everything Penn State, I would probably still dislike him because of how he threatened anybody that thought about leaving when they were allowed to.

That and he's overrated as shit and they worship him as if he invented tackling.

And the whole helmet sticker nonsense. RIP you steroid taking putz.

I'm honestly not sure why the whole "don't ruin the weekends thing" still has traction.

Per the Freeh Report itself (pages 66-68), the McQueary locker room incident occured on 9-February-2001, McQueary met with Paterno on 10-February-2001, and Paterno met with Schultz and Curley on 11-February-2001.

Now the 9th was a Friday, and the 10th was a Saturday, so I think that makes the 11th a Sunday.

I'm not a JoePa acolyte, but the "don't ruin the weekends thing" isn't entirely fair. Paterno even said in his grand jury testimony (9.5 years later, which is a LONG time for anyone to remember things exactly, precisely) that "I can't be precise" regarding the dates.

The facts seem to show that he DID interfere with their weekends, and he DID report it to Curley & Schultz that same weekend.

Maybe it's because Joesus himself said it?

"I didn't want to interfere with their weekends, (so) either Saturday or Monday, I talked to my boss, Tim Curley, by phone, saying, 'Hey we got a problem' and I explained the problem to him," Paterno said.
