Jay Paterno mocks James Earl Jones and Michigan

Submitted by Yo_Blue on

Jay Paterno, recently elected Trustee at Penn State took some time out this week from his pedophile denial to write an article for the State College newspaper.  In it he talks about tradition and the excitement of having ESPN's College Gameday on campus.  He also downgrades the opponent who is "only ranked #19".

Paterno talks about the pride an humbleness of Penn State while slamming Michigan, our air of arrogance, and the James Earl Jones video among other things.  At least Paterno never mentions his dad.  That's the only point in his favor.

Daddy isn't the only one that enabled pedophilia.  Does anyone think the AD didn't tell the school president that the football program employed a coach seen raping a child?  And from that, does anyone believe the president didn't tell the BoT that its pride and joy was harboring a football coach under active FBI investigation for committing pedophilia in the football locker rooms and showers?

Don't even try to tell me it stopped at Joe...  Fuck that entire place.  Burn it down.

For me it was always OSU > ND > MSU, with a pretty big gap after ND.

Now PSU is ahead of ND and just behind OSU.

Those fucks covered up some heinous shit for decades and Mocha Brady Hoke as the nerve to talk about the school needing to "heal".

No you stupid fuck, the victims need to heal and you should shut your fucking mouth.

I came to the realization the other day that I actaully won't be conflicted at all about who to root for when PSU plays MSU and OSU. I hope both those teams stomp the shit out of James Franklin's ridiculous, arrogant ass. I'm tired of that fan base. I'm tired of the "healing" narrative. I'm tired of seeing Franklin's smug bitch-ass face in press conferences acting like he invented football or something. Fuck that team for real.

There are many different forms of love, but what people forget is that there are many different forms of hate. It's one thing to hate a rival because their fans are annoying, or because their fans poop in coolers. That is a certain kind of hate that allows you to find some form of amicable turf where you can still have a certain respect for each other at one point or another. But that is not the kind of hate I feel for Penn State.

Penn State is the only football program I hate. (I probably should hate Baylor, too, but I never read up on that situation.)

While I root against the OSU, MSU, and ND sports teams, I don't really "hate" them.

Penn State Football, however, should be hated by everyone, including and especially their students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

I am with you.  Penn State is also public football enemy #1 to me after the Enabler saga.  The root cause to decades of enablement of Sandusky's anal rape of innocent children was preserving the success and image of the PSU football program by coaches, administrators, and subsequently, an apologist fanbase.  For that simple reason, any subsequent effort by subsequent players, coaches and fans to promote the success and image of the PSU football program is sickening to me.

Something truly Biblical going on here.  A family (PSU) puts a false idol (football team) ahead of innocent children and the children are subjected to nighmtarish horror.  The family gets outed, takes minor punishment, then the kids and grandkids (new players, students, fans, administrators, coaches) go back to business as usual worshipping that same idol.  Just creepy as all hell.

And their fans may be the worst that college football has to offer. Arrogant and delusional while making sure to apologize (deny) for JoePa at every opportunity

Neither James Earl Jones nor his father ever gave a known serial child rapist the means to continue inflicting those horrors on at-risk children.

That's something Jay Paterno can't say.  So I'd say Game, Set, Match James Earl Jones.

"Penn State’s program and fans have exceeded your standard of enthusiasm for decades and will continue to do that this weekend."

.....WHAT!? Hi, I'm earth. Have we met? What are you even saying?!

I swear if dumb were dirt, this guy would cover a fucking acre.

I sincerely doubt Jay knows what that means. Compare these football teams, if you wish, and how loud the stadiums are. That is fine. To compare the PSU football program, its history and most importantly, its integrity to Michigan is a joke. The very comparison he makes exposes the delusion under which Jay is forced to live his life. To compare the two universities is ridiculous in the same way. Regardless of the game's outcome on Saturday, I feel sorry for them.

Michigan is arrogant and Penn State is humble? Okay Jay Pa - you should be humble, your dad was a pedophile enabler, your program was built off of a lie. You should be grateful you aren't in jail.

He acknowleges both school's traditions. The article was designed to pump up the fan base (much like our aforementioned hype video).  I wasn't offended by this.

Yeah. I hate PSU more than anyone including Ohio, and I wish they got the death penalty or something even more harsh, but they didn’t. What do we want them to do, fold up voluntarily? That said, Paterno is a piece of shit (although I’m somewhat sympathetic to a guy who has to come to grips with the fact that his dad was an amoral monster) and their fan base is just the worst.

I may hate Ped State more than Ohio State. While both fan bases can't seem to stop running their mouths about michigan, at least Ohio state backs it up. Penn State has been delusional for decades now, I can't wait until they get smacked in the mouth tomorrow night.

So I know a lot more people who went to Penn State than MSU or OSU.  They are absolutely insufferable.

I actually talked to one Penn State fan who said he would rather have what happened to PSU's football program than lose a game to Appalachian State.  One of the most disgusting things I've ever heard.

It's unlikely but I hope for one game, Michigan can just mercilessly destroy this team.

That's repulsive, I'd rather have 20 years of losing seasons rather than have 20 years of a school covering up rape of minors. What in the fuck is wrong with that person. It blows my mind how they try to sweep it under the rug. Penn State will never be more than what it is now, a garbage program and school surrounded by complete morons who acted like nothing bad happened. Fuck them and Fieldgoal Franklin.

No joke.  There is something creepy and disgusting about a football family whose pride and investment in the success of their football team was the very reason children were molested to turn around and say they are healing now that they are restoring their pride and investment in the success of their football team.  Just really, really creepy, fucked and awful.  Fuck Penn State.

Maybe you should focus some of your enthusiasm on your grammar. Came out of the booth with a misplaced comma and then butchered the Teddy R quote. Reading this made me feel better about my Michigan degree! If that makes me arrogant, then I am enthusiastically so.

I know it's a school newspaper, but you'd figure they would be smart enough to not let an idiot who enabled pedophilia to write a shitty article for them.

more than anything is that the fan base KNOWS JoePa knew and that Jay Paterno is a piece of shit but they STILL support those guys. At that point, the fanbase owns the scandal themselves. They too are complicit. PSU is the only school I hate more thsn OSU.
