The NCAA Dropkicks Penn State

The National Collegiate Athletic Association announced a $60 million fine against Penn State University on Monday and banned its football team from the postseason for four years.

The school will also forfeit all football wins from 1998, NCAA President Mark Emmert said. That decision strips the late Joe Paterno of the title of winningest coach in major football college history.

Wow, can't say they don't deserve it.

What a total disgrace. I hope no players worth a poo sign a letter to play there ever again,

Why? Why should the criminal actions or inactions of a few destroy a whole community? So everyone should pay for what a few did? I should be punished for something i didn't do? I didn't rape any kids. I didn't witness kids being raped and did nothing to stop it. I wasn't told about a coworker raping kids and cover it up. The actions or inactions of a few doesn't define everyone else. I'm still going to wear my PSU gear. I'm still going to support the young men who take the field wearing the blue and white. They didn't rape any kids. This whole PSU culture bullshit is sickening. You think Texas fans would turn their back on the team after those at fault are already kicked out? Would Alabama fans? How about you Gamecock fans? You think if this happend at your school that the football program wouldn't have the right to move forward after the sick motherfugers that did this were kicked out? Part of me feeling bad for those kids means I'm no longer allowed to enjoy Penn State football? Is that it?

I'm not even mad about the Sanctions handed down. Punishment was needed. But the notion that PSU football should end completely because of a few that are not even a part of PSU football anymore is rediculous.

It's called knee jerk reaction. People are forgetting that the victims will still have their day in court. They don't want anyone who enjoyed any of Penn State's success under Paterno to keep those memories because in their mind that success came at the expense of the victims, like the two are connected somehow.

You know there is a handfull of people that no matter what the punishment is it will never be enough in almost every situation. Those people are not happy until someone is fired, someone is put to death, someone is suspeneded, etc...The situation probably has no bearing on their life whatsoever but they are so consumed with the punishments. These people are easy to identify in threads like this, any Bountygate or Saints* thread, anytime a player gets in trouble with the law, if someone is mean to a puppy, etc. They don't think rationally and it's always "Kill em all and let God sort em out!!!"

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
