Social media gives voice to people and ideas that have no business having a voice. Social media is directly responsible for many of the current ills in our political climate. I have never been and never will be a part of the social media cesspool.

Concentrating on the bad behavior of one lone fan and making generalizations about their entire fanbase is neither fair nor reasonable. We have many classless fans of our own who could have their behavior pointed to and unfairly besmirch our names, as well.

That's not to say that bad fanbases in general don't exist, of course (SEE: Alabama, Ohio State, Texas A&M), but lone cases don't necessarily move the needle on that judgment being made. There are plenty of extremely valid reasons to hate Penn State, such as their coach being a scumbag with no class or sportsmanship or their quarterback being a spoiled cocksure jerk or their institution being built on the back of putting football above all else, including the systemic abuse of children, but one instance of a fan being scummy isn't a reason.

Can there be a rule about starting a thread about a comment or tweet from ONE fan from another fanbase? Everyone who views this blog does not need to know what ONE fan says.

Meh, every fanbase has assholes. Ours included. I'm sure plenty of level-headed PSU fans (did I just say that?) would call this guy a douche. I'd feel the same if a Michigan fan tweeted at McSorely and wished that Hurst had ripped his head off. 

I'm guessing plenty of Michigan fans trolled PSU big time after last year's beatdown. Can't say it wasn't expected.

on Twitter.  WAY too many trolls hiding behind usernames spewing forth garbage like this.  OP, please don't waste our time in the future posting worthless things like this.

FWIW Stribling tweeted about how disrespectful Michigan fans are today as well. Penn State fans are objectively the worst, but we've got some who would fit right in. It's too bad they haven't switched allegiances.

believe someone would say such a thing - on the internet of all places. I guess all Speight has going for him is a UM degree, top-notch medical facilities, and a life-long reason to keep his head held high.

That random guy on twitter has it on us. He likes a Heisman Candidates accomplishments, so you know, those are the twitter guys accomplishments as well. Clearly, twiter guy.... Winning... DUH! Tigar Blood!
