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:



    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.

    i agree. he's gonna die in prison, regardless. on the yahoo article today, it said that even if he serves the 30 years minimum, he wont ever be released. in that case, why not kill him now and have him stop being a burden on society? granted the number is very small, but would you want to have some of your tax dollars supporting some child rapist in prison for the next 30 years? i know i wouldnt. kill him now. i know that sounds very "north korean/middle eastern" of me regarding punishment, but the same would apply to everyone in prison, who's currently serving life or 100+ year sentence. i know we'd get rid of some overcrowding issues then.

    I read a few years ago that giving a person life in prison is actually CHEAPER then putting someone on Death Row. The article I read said that all the appeals and whatnot of a death row inmate add up quickly. Don't take my word for it though. It's just something I read a while back.

    i can understand that aspect regarding the legal fees and everything, but the judge already said that sandusky will die in prison and that there would basically be zero chance he'll ever go free again. if that is truly the case, why not just kill him now and not even give him a chance to appeal? its probably not the way to go about it legally, but he will never be a free citizen again. why wait 30 years for him to die naturally when some guard could "accidentally" slip his finger on the trigger one night. oops!

    To make him suffer...death is the easy way out. Imagine someone who has no fear of death or dying, it's like rewarding them for committing the crime.

    bye week...I wonder if that could mean they are really prepared for the next game ? I'm just saying the coaching staff has done a decent job is all and the rest of the season could be a pleasant surprise..but they still arent fast enough

    I think most teams we have grown to watch play a Iowa lately are completely in the past. This staff has continuously shown they prepare these kids differently each week.

    As for speed I'd take Hull, Hodges, and Mauti at linebacker over most in D1, they flat out can play the position. At CB I'd like to see more speed but Daquan is going to be a player over the next few years. At safety and free safety these positions really need upgraded IMO.

    Wow. Got to say I find this completely disgraceful. Maybe I'm too close to the situation but I don't think I'm even disgusted as a Penn State fan but more as a human being. How do you dress up like a child rapist?

    http://offthebench.nbcsports.com/201...owapenn-state/

    As we near the start of All Hallow’s Eve, you just knew that some group of college students were going to dress up as former Penn State defensive coordinator/convicted child abuser Jerry Sandusky.

    However, I didn’t expect that the students who would dress up as Sandusky would attend a Big Ten game featuring the disgraced coaches former team.

    Before yesterday’s Iowa/Penn State Big Ten tilt in Iowa City, the below photo of four Iowa college students dressed up in black and white prison jumpsuits with the words, “J. Sandusky” written on the back of them:

    While I find this to be in poor taste, I'm willing to give it a "it's not funny guys" pass because they're college students and what's funny in college isn't as funny when you're grown and more mature.

    Easy: You don't see it as "dressing up as a child rapist", you see it as "dressing up as something that will embarrass, or, even better, bother the fans of the team we're playing today." There are plenty of examples of that on our forum, and (more often than not) they're perfectly acceptable.

    That being said ... I agree with you on it being disgraceful. Actually, I just think it's pathetically sad. Though I do think you're close enough to the situation that it's hitting harder than it would otherwise. It is stupid and foolish though. As bill said, definitely poor taste.

    Actually I completely see it as dressing up as a child rapist. I've heard plenty if jokes, comments, whatever towards my school and yes they bother but it's expected. This to me is wrong and completely in bad taste.

    Oh, I know you do. What I'm saying is they didn't. I guarantee you not one of them thought "I'm dressing up as a rapist". Not one. Because no sane person would do that. That's not funny -- to anyone.

    I agree that's exactly what they ended up doing. But I'm quite confident they didn't see it as that. Or they're just sick, sick bastards.

    Leaning towards the last sentence haha. I do agree Jeff, I don't think they knew what they could be envisioned but rather they thought they would be envisioned how they themselves saw them being which was funny. Classic example of college kids not thinking at all, or atleast in this instance. For their sake I hope they realize now just how dumb they truly were.

    While I would still pick Ohio State to win. I hope this is one tough game for them.

    This game will be the one that "proves" (simply for lack of a better term) how good Bill O'Brien is as a coach. So far, this season, Matt McGloin is playing out of his mind (compared to the expected performance and last season). This week, he'll be playing, at home, against an Ohio State Back Seven that, frankly, has a lot of weaknesses, if not holes. If O'Brien is as good a coach as he has appeared the last four weeks, he should have a hell of a game plan for Ohio State. And while Ohio State's offense should be fully capable of scoring their own points, I don't expect too many defensive stops, unless McGloin (or some other Penn State player) makes an unforced error and gifts a turnover.

    Should be a good game. At this point I'm personally thinking toss up.
