Where did I ever imply such a thing? I just pointed out that there are a lot more taxpayers paying taxes into PSU than the head in the sand PSU alumni. The alumni's power or influence is nothing to the millions in this state who did NOT go to PSU. The vast majority of non-alumni know that the Joepa administration lost their moral direction.lonewolf wrote:Sorry Joe, my bad.

The public who is about 99 point something NOT PSU graduates do not have the blinders on. Face the facts most of us see clearly, Joepa who was in a position of utmost, godlike authority, did nothing to see if children were harmed in his facilities.
The only thing that taxpayers can do is go whining to some government agency or politician who will tell them that there is nothing they can do about it.

heh, heh, heh! Watch and learn where power derives! Your taxpayers are sheeple! We alumni only want the truth, wherever it leads. This is what a rational mind does in the absence of evidence. The latest theory goes so far beyond your petty JoePa bashing that you may as well bring Jack Ruby into the mix....watch and learn how the truth evolves. I even have a theory where JoePa was extorted! No evidence though...well, acutally. i have just as much evidence as you do! Do you know the facts via osmosis, inherent genetic knowledge, or are you necro-telepathic? Please let me know if i let anything out!undercoverjoe wrote:Where did I ever imply such a thing?

A PSU graduate just labeled anyone who pays taxes in this state sheeple. I can then call PSU graduates sheep and ostriches. They are still my friends but they can't see what has been going on thru the glare of that framed diploma.onegunguitar wrote:I know quite a few PSU graduates that I consider my friends......I don't consider them "sheep".undercoverjoe wrote:Its just that I am proudly NOT that strange mix of sheep and ostrich that obtained a PSU diploma. Or is it a cult, worshiping at the altar of Saint Joepa?
Hoisted on your own petard.undercoverjoe wrote: , I wrestled for 2 years at a Div. III college. No scholarships are given to any of the thousands of athletes who participate in a sport while in a Div. III college. Most at a Div. II schools do not get scholarships either.
Only you could rationalize that alumni are culpable/responsible for Jerry Sandusky's predilections. It's somehow more likely that half a million alumni are wrong, not ucjoe.
Incidentally, I didn't "insult" you, unless pointing out the obvious is insulting. You wrestled Div. III. You could not wrestle at PSU, probably the top wrestling program in college sports history, most likely because you weren't good enough at wrestling. Mentioning it after 40 years means it's on your mind, still... it's a Freudian thing. What other motivator could there be for digging up such a statement? Your point was that others benefitted from scholarships that you could not attain. What other conclusion can be drawn from that, besides envy?
If I hadn't pointed it out, someone else certainly would have. It is what it is. Own it.
BTW, props to Lonewolf on the use of the word, "necro-telepathic." That's just cool as hell, right there.

Maybe these Paterno haters should read what is on this website....maybe they'll see a bigger picture. Maybe they'll see what the media has done to twist all of this around for ratings....but I doubt it.Bag wrote:http://framingpaterno.com/

So,the NCAA bans Central Florida from post season play because of major rule violations. But,the NCAA,in this report,says
"The NCAA report notes, "A head coach is not required to investigate wrongdoing, but is expected to recognize potential NCAA violations, address them and report them to the athletics administration."

No one is equating the two, but the NCAA is supposed to place penalties on programs according to NCAA violations. Courts of law are supposed to rule on the things involved in this case. The NCAA overstepped their own bylaws to even get involved in all this.undercoverjoe wrote:I hope you are not equating raping young boys to NCAA violations.onegunguitar wrote:So,the NCAA bans Central Florida from post season play because of major rule violations.

No one EXCEPT Sandusky has been proven and convicted of doing anything. The time for judgement should be after more of the FACTS of the case come out. An opinionated report is not a conviction in a court of law but sure is being used by alot of media and people unwilling to do their own research into the actualy facts.

A decent human being IS required to investigate child rape if he hears about it in a place where he has some authority.
NCAA wrongdoing and raping children are different. I hope you know this.
