I don't know what happened but I'm glad everybody else does. Paterno is not even in the fugging building when this happens but the next day a grad student tells him he saw some bad doo going on. Paterno notifies the AD and chancellor(?) who actually gave the creep the authority and access to be on campus and in the facility. The guy doesn't work for Joe anymore so he reports it to the people who allow him to be there. What the f*** is he supposed to do make a citizens arrest? JP may be dirty as hell in this but from what has been reported it looks like what he did was a pretty reasonable reaction under the circumstances.

The worst thing about this country is how quickly people jump on the media driven frenzy train.

In my mind a reasonable reaction when you are god and king of a campus, and your right hand man is raping boys in YOUR shower, witnessed by YOUR grad assistant is to fire the guy, find out who the kid is (no one did, or cared), make sure he is ok, and call the cops yourself and be damned sure a FULL investigation is launched.

That is, unless you suck as a human being.

Or you are senile.

He wasn't employees by Joe at that point. He was a professor with the university not the football department, so Joe couldn't fire him. Joe could have raised hell though. If Joe Paterno so much as sneezes in Happy Valley there's some one there with the finest tissue softened with the tears of virgins there to wipe his nose for him. If Joe wanted Sandusky gone all he had to do was say it, but he didn't.

Several things will come of this, notably:

1. About 25 civil lawsuits

2. Penn State losing its accredidation

3. Getting a severe NCAA probation (if this is not lack of institutional control, I don't know what is).

I don't know about #2, but as far as #3 is concerned, if there was ever a time to bring back the "death penalty" in college football, this is it. I thought Miami and Nevin Shapiro was bad but that's nothing compared to this.

Yeah I asked about accreditation earlier in the thread. So there are 2 of us that see this as a possibility, since we know that the admins knew and did nothing.

Anyone who's "waiting on more evidence" to decide if JoePa is part and parcel to this whole fiasco, as journalistically honest as it may be, is 1. severly underestimating the severity of the phrase "fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy" 2. completely unaware of the culture JoePa created at that University and 3. dreaming.

This will not get better for Joe. He will not be exonerated.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
