A must-read. The writer offers a good question about PSU

    You may scoff, but I know two different people who know people with knowledge of illegal happenings under JoPa. One was 50K from the 2nd Mile delivered to a high profile recruit.

    Did the 2nd Mile also send that pile of cash to Elijah Fields? shrug

    I dunno - when you start saying I know people who knows a guy who know something, you start to lose me. Maybe I am completely wrong and if so I'll be a man and admit it, but until then I have no other choice but to support my university. Let the cards fall where they may.

    Oh god, the message board confirmations of violations. Well now we know PSU is in deep trouble.

  • I really don't get the reason for psu poster's coming on this board at all. It's mind boggling to me.

    You couldn't hold a big enough gun to my head to go and read a psu board. I SIMPLY DON'T GIVE A SCHITT ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY. THEY ARE IN CRAZY DENIAL!!

    Aside from Texas. What brings you knuckleheads here? Why would you care what we think? I don't care one tiny little bit about what you guys think. Get off of my cloud.

    Broaden your world view, my friend. Just looking to get different perspective on topics. It's no fun to just stand in a room and agree with everyone all the time.

    You need a vacation or something. Always so tense. Crazy talk about people's kids and JS, rather put a gun to your head than read a PSU thread, I hope you don't have a job that involves national defense and launch codes.

    Just playing man - but seriously relax.

    He also believes in banning college football...

    That is interesting. I would love to have seen the debate, even participate. I cannot argue the attributes that sports instill upon you. Teamwork, discipline, accountability, leadership. How to handle winning and losing. All good stuff. But to me, in these times when football programs are spending more and more on weight rooms and facilities, coaches continue to get ginormous raises, while schools cut academic programs and teachers, then there is a fundamental disconnect on the mission of these universities and this must be dealt with. That and the idol worshipping of people who are mostly glorified gym teachers...............yeah. Reform is in order.

    I like to look at things from multiple perspectives. I have looked at your board and others. I post infrequently but I don't believe I have posted anything on your board that is offensive. I'm just trying to look at the whole world, not just mine.

    You don't come here to read different views you puke. You come here to force your opinions down our throats. You need to relax. Relax your defending of Pedo state. You make me sick.

    Find one post where I called anyone names or forced any opinion. I have a point of view - just like you. I just choose to express mine in a civil, level headed way and you go postal. Just because I am a PSU fan, doesn't mean I share the same opinions as another. If I were to use your tone as a barometer of all PITT posters, well, that would be really unfair to the other posters, wouldn't it? Fortunately, I have the ability to understand that not everyone thinks alike.

    To be fair...you guys talk about PSU over here just as much as we do so why wouldn't we read it? I like to see what PITT is up to also but if you weren't so obsessive about PSU threads I bet you would find much less of us would come over.

    Also, congrats on your two commits today. Hearing good things about the QB you pulled in.

    Owt - here is an article on the debate

    Ban college football: How Buzz Bissinger and Malcolm Gladwell won the Slate/Intelligence Squared debate on May 8. - Slate Magazine

    On Tuesday night, four eminences in sports and culture met at NYUs Skirball Center to debate the question: Should college football be banned? According to the crowd of New Yorkers at the final Slate/Intelligence Squared live debate of the spring season, the answer is definitively: yes. The motion for the...

    Like I said psu posters are fine with me. You guys have been real cool over here. I was just in the mood to pull some chains that's all.

    Since I don't go on other boards, by my own choice, I wonder if your board has as many PITT posters on it?

    Edit, thanks for the congrats.

    Please identify the recruit to support this statement.

    Lavar Arrington...A certain PSU coach told someone about it that I know and trust. Good enough for you?

    I doubt that the money trail will lead to PSU in this case though...they can launder that stuff easily.

  • It's only going to scratch the surface...

    "among emails turned over to the Freeh team are messages written by former President Graham Spanier and Wendell V. Courtney, Penn State's former general counsel, "which describe steps the two men took to protect players."

    Oh, and you might want to turn on CNN at 8pm.

    Anderson Cooper 360° ‏@AC360

    EXCLUSIVE: Stunning new info about the alleged child sex abuse cover-up at ‪#PennState‬. What officials knew & when at 8pm. ‪#Sandusky

    Penn State: 'We will take responsibility' for whatever Sandusky-related investigation finds

    Some say they've been asked about the relationship between university administrators and Penn State's athletic department, and whether student judicial processes were interfered with to protect student athletes.

  • Yep, so much more nonsense than other things coming from PSU these days. It is soooo unbelievable compared to your coaches and administrators allowing child rape to continue in order to protect the image of a football team.

    BTW, I've heard the same thing too, before all this mess broke lose. Your school is a cess pool. Deal with it and clean it up instead of electing baboons like Lubrano to drive it further into the ground.
