It is interesting that the media has come around today on the Paterno issue. The guys on WFNZ actually had the indictment in front of them and read the parts I have been telling you guys to read.

Announcers says "well if that's all the evidence we have then nobody really knows what role Paterno played. Let's wait for the facts to come out."

Ya think?

Most of the speculation thus far is simply overreaching the evidence at hand.

I was thinking that way until Mac talked about the bomb that was dropped today which includes the rumor that a cover up was offered in exchange for retiring. If that's true then I have no sympathy for any of them. Even a little knowledge of the incidents should have been enough to go to the police. Not just the university authorities.

UH OH.

RT @MrPelicanPants: (from a PSU Prof) "This story will take a John Grisham-like turn when racial makeup of victims are released" in 72hrs.

I'm not too sure what this means. My first thought is however, A professor has knowledge of the situation?! How in the world has this been going on for 15 years?

I missed that but its all a wicked web.

I think Paterno may have been intimately involved with this and should fry if he was.

On the other hand I could see him saying "I'm a 75 year old football coach whose job it is NOT to figure out what some guy who doesn't work here anymore is doing in the showers. I am going to distance myself as much as possible and let other people do their jobs."

You see this type of thing all the time in the corporate world. People see a situation that raises all types of red flags and want to not get involved for plausible deniability. It's cowardly but hardly illegal.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
