This whole Penn State thing just makes me want to...


I've hated Penn State for decades. Since the 1972 Cotton Bowl.

I also hated Texas A&M for decades until the 1999 bonfire tragedy.

This kind of crap makes it hard to keep hating.

:cry:

1. If you read those 23 pages.....
this is the darkest, sickest scandal in the history of college athletics.

3. IMO .. This goes beyond athletics...into the "Cult" mentality at Penn State....
The Feds need to be brought it...fuck the local authorities...they're under the spell of this evil cult.

4. As the mother of a 13 year old boy it brought tears to my eyes.
To read that, and then realize there are those who wish to deny culpability makes me want to vomit.

5. Initially I was more sympathetic toward Paterno
when I read the Grand Jury stuff, though? By page 3 I wanted Paterno prosecuted.

6. Exclusive: Victims Double In Penn State Case (FOX 29, Philadelphia)
Fox 29 has learned the number of child-abuse in the Penn State sex-abuse scandal involving ex-coach Jerry Sandusky has more than doubled in the past day, and is closer to 20 victims.

There were eight victims named in the grand jury presentment and 40 charges leveled against Sandusky, a long-time assistant to Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno. Paterno was not named in the grand jury finding as violating any laws.

Sources tell Fox 29 since a press conference on Monday, the number of potential victims has more than doubled in the case. LINK
