Penn State will Honor JoePa before Temple Game

Boy, I wonder what East German Judge is going to have to say about this. . . 

I'm going to be boycotting PSU games this year, with the exception of when they play Michigan, because I'm not going to let them detract from my love of our school.  Other than that, though, I don't want to have a damn thing to do with them.  They need to have their program permanently banned.  No repentance, no contrition, not even basic comprehension.  They need to go away, forever.

The media is literally going to create a giant tire fire in happy valley this weekend.

Breathe that shit in Penn State.

Is it too late to bring back the sanctions?  My God.

Further evidence that PSU is the most insular major college campus in the country.  Where else would this possibly fly?

BTN should completely ignore it - no mention whatsoever.  Unless they decide to call them out on it, which is doubtful.

Are greg schiano and tom bradley invited too?

Oh are they giving out the Scumbag Enabler Award already?

It seems to be a rather insensitive decision.  Have they invited the families of those involved to provide their perspectives?

fuck yourself Pedo State.  You and all your delusional cultist fans.  I hope you all choke on a rotten bag of dicks.

I seriously cannot verbalize the amout of hatred I have for the Pedo State Nittany Pedophiles, their school, their administration, their fans and everything associated.

I hope to GOD this astoundingly insensitive display of support for child rape gets cancelled and the University gets fined elenty billion dollars for this asinine tripe.

at Penn State refuse to acknowledge the fact that Paterno failed those children.  It's all about Success with Honor* and the Grand Experiment and Paterno's 409 wins.

They call the victims liars.  The call McQueary (graduate assistant who witnessed one sexual assault and reported it to Paterno in 2001) a liar.  They ignore Paterno's statements under oath that McQueary told Paterno it was sexual.

They claim that everybody (who disagrees with them and finds fault with Paterno's lack of action) is a hater and that we all somehow are jealous of Paterno's greatness and success. 

It's a sick twisted place that makes the SEC sickos look like fair weather fans.

*legal minimums apply

because........? What is the actual point. I mean no matter why that school thinks that by doing this short of erecting a new statue, and that they will feel better about their past even while the history has been written, how does this clean the slate?

performing a half-time tribute to Bill Cosby? Wonder how PSU fans would feel about that?

Fine, I get the outrage ....... but it could be something as simple as a 60-second video montague (that focuses on the players that Paterno coached) during a commercial break while mentioning that September 17, 2017 is the exact 50 year-anniversary of Paterno's first game as Penn State head coach.

Let's wait and see.  I tended to think something or other might happen, simply because of the way the calendar broke this year, being the exact 50-year anniversary and all.  The Paterno Loyalists have seized on that calendar coincidence in terms of demanding some sort of recognition from the University.

I'm not a Paterno Loyalist --- but they do exist and they do donate.  I'm fine if the University feels like throwing them a small bone.  

I'll wait to see exactly how large that bone is.

I hope Temple shuts them out

My prediction:  This doesn't happen as they currently plan.  There will be continued backlash, including nonstop pestering by the media, plus Temple might start putting pressure on them behind the scenes.  Before the game, PSU is going to adjulst or alter their plans -- water it down, or broaden it to include "all former coaches," or something or whatever to avoid the major PR disaster they are about to walk into.  Like, what are recruits and their families going to think about this?  Whoever did this is in total denial; but unless they are being led by Dave Brandon (!), someone in authority will wake up and realize this is NAGI (Not A Good Idea).

but I doubt anything that involves "Burning in Effigy" would fly.

I genuinely don't understand this. If something like this ever came out about Bo, I'd lead the charge in burning down Schembechler hall. 

There should be a statue of him looking the other way.

I hope they lose every game. Ohio State may be our rival, but Penn State is the team I hate the most. They're literally marginizing child sexual abuse by acting like it didn't happen or didn't matter. They are poison. I'd pay money for their program to be disbanded.
