    She is right on a moral standpoint and a football standpoint. It's rare to have those agree on anything.

    Reading some of the comments from some of my friends who graduated from Penn State are sad and sickening at the same time. Some of these people are so brainwashed that its sad. They've had so many decades of "We do things the right way," Peachy Paterno, "WE ARRREE" jammed into their fucking heads for so long that, when the curtain comes crashing down and it turns out Oz is just a fucked-up old man they don't possess the facilities to see logic or think critically. My cousin said, "I'm glad the athletic director was fired." He was never fired, he stepped down on his own temporarily. I know some of them just dont want to believe, but God, at some point you need to get over it and start looking at some of this information.

    This is what happens when you spend five years assigning people to get Paterno his Depends and his drool cup. They won't hire another AD without a condition that they can rid themselves of some loads.

    It lies in the hands of the Board of Trustees at this point to make moves. And if they do nothing, Corbett should demand they do something or lose all state funding for next year. He does that, this situation is resolved very quickly.

    Why don't we arrest all the season ticket holders while we're at it? Guilty by association.

    This is just despicable. Yes I thought PSU was clean, only because that's all I ever read about.

    Now, its clear to me that Sandusky was put out to pasture because they KNEW!!! In 1998 the first charge is leveled and he suddenly leaves in 1999 even though Paterno remains? What do you think?

    The fact that the university knew in 2002 yet did nothing until 2011 tells you all you need to know about those that Pennsylvania has entrusted with its university. You want to admire a program that allowed a revered coach to molest a 10 yr old in the shower at your university? Go ahead.

    This was a standard coverup and I hope those who participated pay for it, including JoePa. Telling one person is not good enough, you're the head of the operation, you need to follow up. You do not get to delegate then absolve yourself of blame. As a partner of mine told me when I was starting, just because you delegated the assignment to a secretary does not mean you get to blame her, you remain responsible for it getting done.

    The AG presser was pretty much worthless. However, State Police Commissioner Noonan hit the nail on the head when he said something about calling 9-1-1 if you see crime going down. He seemed very agitated that people in power didn't do that in this case.

    Morally I would agree. Anyone who cheers JoePa this Saturday becomes part of the sordid mess.

    Noonan's gonna have some scalps. I hope everyone involved that knew anything at anytime is either our of a job and/or in jail. And public humiliation for all.

    Well the ban of Sandusky from campus will keep him from lifting weights there - which he was doing last week.

    Wetzel needs to go back and proofread. There are some very important "no's" omitted from the quoted statements that turn them all backwards.

    They didn't ban Sandusky from campus, they just told him not to bring his victims there.
