Jay Paterno mocks James Earl Jones and Michigan
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.

Penn State is a disgusting institution. We should be playing their B1G replacement Pitt tomorrow. I sincerely cannot believe that athletic department was not shut down permanently.
For every story that gives you faith in humanity there's another that takes it away. Decades of serial child rape handwaved into a bad memory. No penance, no corrective steps. No acknowledgement of the environment that led to the toxic cesspool forming in their own house.

Except for an (in)famous last name. I never heard of him until now. What a DB. Let's make him crawl back under his rock.
GO BLUE!!

There are obviously still cultural issues there.

Purdue locker room > Penn State locker room.
That is all.

I'm so glad Penn State learned their lesson. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I thought the point of discipline was to teach a lesson that an individual and/or institution can and should learn from. PSU was sanctioned to supposedly make a point of how athletics shouldn't be placed ahead of morality. The sanctions were randomly dropped, which is like letting someone out early for good behavior, and the reasoning was that the athletes that remained shouldn't be punished for things they had no part in. (As an aside, that reasoning undermines the opportunity to teach a lesson on an institutional level.) In response, not only does the offending institution hire a Paterno to its board of trustees, but an unrepentant Paterno who maintains his father's innocence in the face of concrete contrary evidence. This just confirms what I already presume about the NCAA, the general fans and the education system which is 1) that in football winning=moral perception up to the point where immorality cannot be denied, 2) fans typically overlook terrible behavior if a coach/program is successful on the field to the point of delusion and 3) the NCAA and universities adjust their punishments based on who/what is making them money. And players still can't get paid. Rant over, screw PSU.

Can't really put into words how much I despise Pedophile State University and anyone associated with them.

You know, yet again, the inability of some Penn State fans to have their own version of "Vergangenheitsbewaltigung", if you will, simply amazes me. Until they admit to themselves what went on at that place for decades, there will always be an issue - a huge, glaring issue - that I have with that portion of the Nittany Lion fanbase that subscribes to a now-defunct notion of Paterno and that past culture.

Second...
I believe he calling attention to a view of Michigan that many have. Arrogance. He is an asshole for doing it, but it’s true.
It is something Michigan struggles with.
October 20th, 2017 at 1:58 PM ^
Struggles with? Arrogant alum here and proud of it. I'm not struggling with anything.
Hey Jay Paterno, my university is better than your university. Deal with it.

Just cause your the best at something doesn’t mean people like you. So, no. You would suck at social interaction... while being the best.

So, in this article Jay Paterno takes time out from his child molestation cover up duties to rip on Michigan. What a classy piece of work this waste of sperm and egg is. He actually talks shit about Michigan's video hyping the University before games. How awful of us...
No mention is made of Penn State's Joe Paterno worship video played during the Rutgers game a year or two ago.
Yeah, the video praising Joe Pa they played within weeks of new information coming to light about the sicko covering up child rape for decades... Not kidding. Super classy. The families of the victims thank you Penn State... Good to see you "learned your lesson." Great message sent by the NCAA as well to lift your sanctions early to appease the money god.
This is the most delusional, fucked up fan base in all of sports.
If there is a god. Penn State loses this game.
My prediction? Michigan 24 Pedo State 21. To all Penn State fans sick enough to elect this ass to a position at your university, go to hell. C'mon god, we're waiting...
October 20th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
Disgusting.
October 20th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
Fuck Pedo State.

PSU has replaced OSU as my most hated rival. PSU is a digusting cesspool and I really hate the fact how fast it has recovered from the horrible acts its football program and that hypocrite JoePa allowed to happen for decades. I'm just sick of losing to OSU but love the rivalry.
October 20th, 2017 at 3:09 PM ^
As more a plea to P-ew students for good fan behavior. Win or lose, Paterno is concerned the game attendees may pull disgraceful stunts on national broadcast. In fact, he may be concerned about his own players exhibiting bad behavior on the field. PSU is a good state school but it's no Michigan, and Paterno's commentary is apropos for the school which, I must admit, makes some decent ice cream and offers that up as a major field of study.
