Pretty sure he'd be eligible for a medical redshirt, but yeah that sucks. These guys put in so much work through the spring summer and camp and it sucks when guys get hurt right off the bat. As much as I want bad things to happen to PSU, I would never wish injury on any of their players.

son of a founder of a major accounting or law firm in central Pennsylvania. Sorry to hear about his injury against the same team a year later. Now that is some bad karma and a similar injury to his last one, just the other leg. It appears PSU could be without its entire starting linebacker unit against Michigan.

Do you think our team might take advantage and run a bunch up the middle and or test that outside perimeter again when the vanilla shakes stack the box. I think so. In any case, look for PSU to do what Colorado did gameplan-wise both offensively and defensively with their own tweaks. Nobody gets that creative week-to-week, unless your personnel can't deal with what the other side is known to do, and then you get forced into it.

I do not know of this young man in particular so he might be the greatest human being on the planet off the field but sorry, he plays for Penn State so not sorry he's out.  

 

Anything bad that happens to those miserable fucks is A-OK with me.   Hope they enjoyed their chance last week to reaffirm to everyone they wont accept the truth about St Joeseph and will never accept any responsbility for the crimes Sandusky committed.

I think (I hope) he is happy that the fans have to suffer through their team receiving setback after setback, and not that a kid incurred a tough injury. 

A fine line there, I know, but I also certainly want Penn State fans to be miserable. Not happy the guy got hurt, but the silver lining is that it causes PSU fans sadness.

When he accepted the offer to play there he made a conscience decision to represent the adminstration, the fanbase and the cultish culture.  He is them and they are him.  He is not fundimentally different, IMO, than the assholes wearing the "Sandusky was framed" t-shirts last Saturday.  

 If you can find the word "glee" or anything else denoting happiness in his injury have at it.  I said I wasnt sorry he was out and I'm not.  While not wishing injury on anyone I'm also not going to pretend that anything that makes that particular fanbase, team and university sad bothers me.

If that offends your delicate sensibilities I dont know what to say.

Yes.

I mean, I can see there being familial pressures or some such that would make it ok - just barely - to stay at Penn State. Actually, I'd have to think about that. But I think I can understand some circumstances where I wouldn't think a guy was morally culpable for being on the PSU football team.

But in almost all cases, yes, he should get the hell out. How can the people in that program even sleep at night? Place is bad and staying there supports it.

Also, kids at 16, 17 years old are very much old enough to know that it's bad, mmmkay, to commit to a school that puts a "BUT" after every "Yes the pedophilia was bad". 

If they go there, they own it.

So let me summarize... screw some teenager and his health because when he was 17, he made a decision for a free college education and the opportunity to play football without considering the possibility that there may be a huge conspiracy amongst the coaching staff and school to cover up a serial child sex abuse problem (that wasn't even public when he decided)?

Nice.

Conscious.

My wife does that all the damn time, it's so maddening.

Conscience is what should be kicking in right about now to make you feel bad for what you said, and you should be conscious of the consequences of your consciously stated statement.

Looking at his 247 profile, he committed to Penn St. before the Sandusky story broke, but signed his LOI after.

This is the last class I would say that you can't blame the kids. Everyone in the following classes chose to go to the school/program that supported a child molester.

... this idea that someone should get credit for keeping their word to an organization as morally corrupt as Penn State is silly.  There is no honor in following others to hell.  

That being said, I don't have any opinion on this young man. If it helps Michigan win a football game and the kid isn't permanently injured in life impacting ways, I shrug.  Injury rate in football at that level is 100%. Kid still gets a free education and an opportunity to make something of his life.  I feel no sympathy.  There are plenty, plenty of other human beings in the world I focus my sympathy energy on.

This particular issue definitely hits a very raw nerve with me as a father.  If you want to really see me lose my shit in a thread go find the original one when when the story of McQueary witnessing the shower incident and did nothing first broke.

Probably best I just stay out of this topic in the future.  This is not one I am able to have any semblance of objectiveness about so sorry to all I offended.

So don't give him a pass, neg the offensive post and reply and tell him why he's wrong (which you already did). For whatever reason this seems to hit close to home for him and I just don't see the point in continuing to egg him on about it; it's not productive and nobody involved will change their opinion on it.
