I'm not Catholic, I just root for the football team. Religion is bullshit. All of it.

Again, I didn't dump PSU because of Sandusky. I did it because of the way they handled Paterno.

When they take the field at Beaver Stadium for their 126th season, The Pennsylvania State University football team will wear uniforms featuring a blue ribbon to support all victims of child abuse. Also, for the first time, the names of each football player will adorn their jersey in recognition of their resolve and dedication to the team and the University.

You hear that, JB?^^^

Those blue ribbons should make you feel better about your uncle. :)

proof that no major college football program is clean. Even Penn State had too much pride.
Paterno made a huge mistake as many others did, its a shame but life marches on.

The players can do what ever they want, there is nothing wishy washy about it. If I were a WR, I'd probably leave too. Its not like he has a decent QB throwing to him LOL. But I doubt Penn State will take a dive.
They still have tons of donators pouring money in , in the hopes the school and team continue to thrive. As long as they dont become Minn. or Purdue, everything will be fine.....I hope

Be careful :Penn_State: fans. I can think of all kinds of "interesting" shirts that could be made using your school logo and initials. Sandusky is in fact guilty of a crime and Jo Pa et al. were "cool" with a crime that starts with a P. Just sayin'

With this UNC academic scandal breaking, it will be interesting to see what the NCAA does

5 scholarships and one year bowl ban probably. :coffee:

That scandal has been brewing a LONG time. Being a :Duke: fan I've followed it somewhat closely. It's not child molestation but its bad. Peppers' transcript (allegedly) appeared online. He took a TON of African-American Studies courses (the "major" at issue) and received a ton of good grades in those classes.

Agreed it's not child molestation but with everything the Emmert was preaching about Academics and not football and sports cultures, this is bad. Especially since it possibly was going on for over a decade, the NCAA investigated it and found nothing, and that there were possible department heads involved.

Of course good grades were given, the classes didn't even technically exist :)

No, it's not easy. That is for sure. However, it's been similar to that for several years now. A great season would be 8 wins.

Redd being the obvious starter who is up in the air. So the talent is still here to have a good season. Noway they go 4-7. With Redd they could easily get 9 wins. If he returns and puts up 1200 yards like he did last year(and that was with a nonexistent passing game, which should be improved this year) he's going late 1st round high 2nd.

I'm with Snoop though and have stated it. I don't begrudge him from transffering, but why not go to a national contender where you can be the #1. I know Bama has Lacy, but if Redd went to Bama and that Oline, he wins the Heisman.

I will also say I haven't looked at their schedule I just haven't seen too many teams come out and have great years after something like this, so in other words I am basing this not off of much just a gut feeling.

---

I know its only two games but its not looking good considering they are losing to teams that are average at best.

So is it agreed that Penn State has the worst kicker in all of the NCAA? Wow! That was one of the worst kicking displays I have ever seen... and that includes high school football.

Yeah it was pretty bad. I feel sorry for the guy and the program to lose in that fashion

Agreed! Penn State played well and deserved the win. To lose from all of those missed kicks has to be devestating. Penn St takes the loss but they should be 1-1. You have to think a kicking change is in the works for next week? I don't know what options they have but after a performance like that, the kid will have zero confidence.

On the bright side, looks like Al Pacino is planning to play as Joe Paterno in an upcoming film.

Well, I gotta say, as a Navy fan, I'm definitely salivating over next week's game in Happy Valley. :D

No, but I wish. I went to the Navy-Ohio State game a couple years back and it was a blast. I wanted to make the trip also to Penn State, partly because it's Navy going up against a Big Ten team again, and Happy Valley is on my list of stadiums to visit in my lifetime (ok, every DI-A football stadium is on my list. :D), but between work and unable to get tickets, I have to settle for watching on TV.

2/4 for UCLA and 3/4 for Nebraska aren't that bad. Not good (at least for UCLA), but not bad.

But Penn State's 1/5, that's just horrible.

neuheisel never took pride in his kickers thanks to his "punting is winning" strategy. :D

Yeah they definitely deserved to win this game and showed drastic improvements from Week 1. I still say they are going to have a decent record going forward. The defense showed that it's the dominate unit that was expected and I think once Ted Roof finds a good play calling mix the defense can shut down about anybody. The Ohio game he just didn't adjust in the 2nd half.

4 wins !!!!!!!

sandusky gets 30-60 years for his crimes.

at his age, why not just give him life?

I'm not familiar with PA's law re: punishment for these crimes but 30-60 years seems VERY LIGHT when he was CONVICTED on 45 counts. That's "only" 2/3 - 1 1/3 year behind bars per crime. IMHO that is EXTREMELY LIGHT punishment for the crimes proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

even so, but at his age, why not just give him life? he's gonna die in prison anyway. setting a number on it just seems stupid, imo.

Again not very familiar with criminal law in general as it tends to vary significantly state by state and DEFINITELY not familiar with PA criminal law. However, "life" may not have been allowed (due to the statutes) but since it was 45 counts/convictions 100s of years would have been. It's "odd" but likely a set of statutes determine what is and what is not allowed in PA.

According to ESPN the judge said:

I'm not going to sentence you to centuries in prison, although the law will permit that.

---

Why not? I mean yes 30-60 years will "likely" mean Sandusky dies in prison but why risk the small % chance he lives to 120+. Sentence him to 200 years (or whatever the max is for the 45 convictions) and be done with it. Personally, I'd favor the death penalty for Sandusky but that possibility was struck down by the LIBERALS (and Kennedy) on the Supreme Court.
