Penn State Finally Does SOmething Right

It has taken a couple weeks of rumblings and rumors...But finally the pressure got to heavy...Sunday morning, the statue of Joe Paterno outside Beaver Stadium was removed...About 6:00 AM police and workmen arrived, put up a fence, and got to work...The Statue came down around 8:20 AM...And as I write this, they are working on removing Paterno's name and his words on the limestone wall that was behind the statue...

Many people, like myself are happy about this...But I have already seen these asshole Penn State students, alums, and fans, who are upset about the Paterno statue coming down...It's insane how these people just blindly keep supporting this criminal fuck!

It has also broken, that the NCAA will be making an announcement Monday at 9:00AM...It is being reported that this will be "unprecedented penalties against both the Penn State University football team and the school."

Good!

Bring Me the Head of Joe Paterno....

Okay, that's gross, bring me his statue's head!

If you have followed my blogs that have been about Jerry Sandusky being a child rapist, and the cover-up at Penn State, then you know when this first broke, I was writing that Paterno knew, and willingly covered it up...And now we have found out that he lead the cover-up...He told his boys Spanier, Schultz, and Curley, to keep a lid on this mess...And they did...

But we have to ask why, if they knew this creep was messing with kids, and we removed him from the coaching staff, then why did he still have an office? Why did he still have full use of all athletic department facilities? They said it was to help with his Second Mile Charity...You mean the same charity where he was poaching these 10, 11, 12, and 13 year old boys from...I can't find any logic at all with these people...

In the Freeh Report, that was released yesterday it spoke of Paterno, Spanier, Curley, and Schultz, saying "These men concealed Sandusky's activities from the Board of Trustees, the University community and authorities. They exhibited a striking lack of empathy for Sandusky's victims by failing to inquire as to their safety and well‐being, especially by not attempting to determine the identity of the child who Sandusky assaulted in the Lasch Building in 2001." That being the victim Mike McQueary had seen Sansdusky with, and reported it to Paterno...And McQueary, you're not off the hook either...You stood by and let them cover it up...You kept your mouth shut, even though you saw what a monster Sandusky was, Fucking cunt!

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh said during his press conference Thursday, "There were more red flags here than you could count over a long period of time." Freeh's report went all the way back through Sandusky's career at PSU...All the way back to 1975...

Freeh's investigation showed points where, Penn State officials could have stopped Sandusky but didn't and failed to report him to authorities...

"On May 3, 1998, Sandusky sexually assaulted a young boy in the Lasch Building on Penn State's campus. His mother noted the boy was acting differently when he came home and called a psychologist about it, as well as the University Police Department.

When the boy's mother confronted Sandusky on May 19, asking if Sandusky had touched the boy's "private parts," he said, "I don't think so ... maybe." Unknown to Sandusky, UPD Detective Ron Schreffler and a State College police officer were listening from another room.

Sandusky asked if he could speak with the boy, but the mother said no. "I understand. I was wrong," Sandusky replied. "I wish I could get forgiveness. I know I won't get it from you. I wish I were dead."

When word of the May 3 assault reached Schultz two days later, he noted, "Is this opening of Pandora's Box?" and wondered if there were other children involved. Emails between Schultz and Curley imply that they had "touched base" with Joe Paterno about the incident as well. Yet after the UPD began an investigation, campus police chief Thomas Harmon said they would "hold off on making any crime log entry." All four officials -- Spanier, Paterno, Curley and Schultz -- were fully aware about the allegation and investigation in 1998, but failed to report it to the Board of Trustees, according to the report.

In June 1998, Harmon emailed Schultz to say officers "met discretely" with Sandusky and "his account of the matter was essentially the same as the child's." Sandusky said "he had done this with other children in the past." Schultz informed Spanier and Curley that the investigation of the matter was closed as such."


What's striking about 1998 is nobody even spoke to Sandusky ... including the coach [Paterno] who was steps away from Sandusky's office." Freeh said...Then there's the fact that that Schultz had testified that, "I was never aware that 'Penn State police investigated inappropriate touching in a shower, in 1998." Yeah, he screwed himself!

Then there's the emails back and forth between Paterno, Spanier, Schultz, and Curley, after the 2001 incident McQueary brought to their attention...Emails that made it clear that Paterno wanted it to be kept quiet...And even though they all knew it could hurt them, they all agreed to go along with it...

Then Thursday afternoon THIS came out...Yes, Penn State University switched the feed just as the Freeh Report was being released...Did these dummies not learn from the mistakes of Paterno and Spanier, Schultz, and Curley? For God's sake you idiots, it's 2012...Switching the channel won't stop people from getting the information! After this, along with the years of the cover-up, The State of Pennsylvania needs to cut off all funding to the University...Seriously, screw these people and their history of secrecy, and protection of a child rapist...

Over the months I've been calling for the NCAA to bring down the "Death Penalty" on Penn State...Many people think that's too far, saying this has nothing to do with Football and NCAA sports...BULLSHIT!

You had one of the most highly regarded coaches in the history of College Football, leading the cover-up of one of his assistant coaches being a child molester and rapist...Paterno and his 3 musketeers felt is was more important to protect his image, and the image of Penn State Football, then to protect innocent kids from getting raped in the team showers, team hotels, and Sandusky's basement bedroom...The myth of Paterno, and Penn State was all they cared about...This has everything to do with College Football and sports...

These fools didn't even realize that the world would have stood by them, and respected them had they Cut ties with Sandusky and turned him in at the first sign of trouble...But Paterno was blinded by his own ego, and probably some dumb-ass loyalty to his former assistant coach and friend...And to all those who refuse to believe the facts that Paterno was involved, and keep defending him, first, wake up! Second...Tell me, when this story first broke, WHY did Paterno transfer EVERYTHING into his wife's name? He knew he was dirty...He knew it would be found out...He knew there would be civil suits...He knew he was guilty...That bastard got off easy by dying...And I'll tell you this...It won't surprise me if even worse, and darker things come out about Paterno, Spanier, Schultz, and Curley...

At the top I said I want the head of that stupid fucking statue...I was thinking, I'd cash in my kids college funds, to pay whoever chopped it off, and brought it to me...But instead, let's keep it there...Let it be a reminder that our icons aren't always who we think they are...Put up a plague next to it...

'Joe Paterno, legendary football coach, and protector of child rapists, and all around fucking asshole with stupid big, glasses!'

Playoffs: Are You Kidding Me?

There has been some big news in how college football is going to handle the end of the season starting in a couple of years (Also check out this post on my ratings site with top 4 lists from the past few seasons), but I can’t help but think about the end to the most-recent season.

As you might have guessed, I’m still slightly traumatized by the way college football ended 6 months ago. At first, I couldn’t even listen to “Sweet Home Alabama”. While I’ve gotten over that, I was still moderately offended by what appeared to be a houndstooth wall in a hotel room I stayed in recently, for example.

I also don’t like that Monarchy of Roses song by Red Hot Chili Peppers (which mentions a “crimson tide is flowing”), but that might just be because it’s not a good song.

It’s not just because I’m an LSU fan. It’s also because of the special regard I have for the University of Alabama. I’ll explain. Unlike most other teams, LSU does not have an unquestionable #1 rival. The most equally reciprocated rivalry is probably that with Arkansas, but I think Hogs fans would still rather beat Texas despite that being an irregular rivalry in the last couple of decades. Texas of course seems more interested in their rivalries with Texas A&M and Oklahoma (or I guess I should use past tense in the former case). I don’t know if I’m representative of most LSU fans, but if the Tigers could only beat one team all year, I would choose Alabama. I don’t really care if Alabama regards its rivalries with Tennessee and Auburn as more important. I’m generally happy to cheer for them to lose to the Vols or to those other Tigers too.

Something else that bothered me was that LSU had successfully navigated the great SEC without a single loss. This included 8 regular-season conference games and a game against a ninth team in the SEC championship. Also, the Fighting Tigers had beaten Oregon and West Virginia, who each went on to win BCS bowls, and had not lost out of conference.

Despite the change of heart by the voters in 2006 to avoid a rematch scenario, I knew it would happen one of these years, but for this team, my team, to have to play a team they had already beaten on the road in order to claim a championship, that especially wasn’t right, even before knowing the result. If LSU had lost a game to another team, then I would have had absolutely no problem with it. But in the ONE game to win a national championship (after already winning 13), they had to line up against this same team again? You can’t pretend that’s the same thing as playing and beating a new opponent.

I also wasn’t a stranger to history. I knew that although LSU beat Ole Miss in 1959 on Billy Cannon’s historic punt return, Ole Miss would win the Sugar Bowl (by a score of 21-0) in a rematch.

Billy Cannon on his way to the end zone on October 31, 1959.
