Fixed. We know how hard it is for you intercity youths to read and all.

P.S.- Watch out for the short white dude, running around mumbling about black cack...unless you're into that sort of thing.

Not my chair . . . I'm just bitching on a message board. I don't have a bank account large enough to influence those sort of decisions.

I do think a little bit of rebellion in such a system is healthy and justified.

So - in the past couple of year I've really backed away from the fray. The community is really divided in a number of ways. I spend good hours and/or weeks of my life thinking too much about all of that stuff, and ended up just trying to enjoy the games as much as I could.

Franklin has this thing moving in a really great direction. Recruiting is going really well, and we have a great staff that will probably bring this program back into the top ten for a while.

I haven't cared about win totals in about 15 years, when it was actually an entertaining topic of discussion for a while. If Paterno was the great man that his fervent supporters make him out to be, win totals wouldn't have mattered to him...and I think he said as much. At this point I don't care at all what Paterno's legacy is, I am a Penn State fan first, which primarily is rooted in my participation in the community as a whole, and where football is concerned, it's all about the team and what the players can achieve that I find interesting.

Honestly I'm sickened by the element of the PSU fan base that cares only about the wins and legacy of JVP. I still feel closely connected to the PSU community, which is far more than what happened with the Sandusky debacle and the aftermath.

Equally, I'm sickened by those who refuse to understand the real implications of sexual abuse and see it only in terms of what happened with Sandusky and PSU. We all have a part to play in countering sexual abuse - without exception.

Wonderful to see you back, broski.

No one in their right fucking mind connects the horrors that happened in the PSU program with the PSU Community. While it brought short term shame, it showed us the good of people, evidenced by the outpouring and activism of said community.

You're a PSUFan (or so I've gleaned) -- don't tell me that if you, or hundreds of thousands of your bretheren had an inkling of what was going on, you wouldn't have done everything in your power to stop it and hold those responsible accountable. Whether JoPa was privy/complicit or not is moot at this point... you weren't.

While us CFB fans like to get the hate going, deep down we know it's just symbolism for something greater -- if we all didn't relish Saturdays, we wouldn't be able to call the fans of our archrival such clever shit as "stupid fag" and whatnot. And it's that oddly disconnected connection that I think makes everyone want to root for PSU a little bit -- no fanbase has been hurt to the core like Lionfan, and that hurts us all, because we all hurt for the victims. No amount of wouldashouldacoulda can fix things. So just support Coach Franklin, and turn something fucking awful into a positive.

Go PSU, until the healing process really kicks in, and until you start winning. Then, fuck Kerry Collins, Joe Jurevicius, and Kijana Cater, and fuck PSU. Quack Quack, bitches.

The Cult of JVP is still alive and well in Happy Valley, see the reaction to Franklin's decision to strip the last names off the jerseys. Here's a note to PSU fans and Cultists: Anytime you're making a decision to harken back to the JVP era, make the OPPOSITE decision.

MSU fans are right: PSU should have been kicked out of the Big 11.

Kick PSU out of the B1G and the ACC scoops them up and the B1G is left with Rutgers and Maryland as their East Coast representatives. Not a fucking chance of that happening.

PSU gets the boot because some of their fans are idiots? Good plan. What school gets to stay under that evaluation criteria?

Fans? How about years long institutional and system coverup of child abuse? Nice try, numbnuts.

I don't think PSU should have been booted from the B1G. That's mostly hand-wringing nonsense.

This James Franklin cat though...the media has a love affair with him but I just don't see it, at least not yet. Great recruiter but I'm not sold on his coaching ability. Time will tell.

Hey, DP, nice to have a visit. I will rephrase my query in the open - Do you think I will like Tom Bradley running the defense in Westwood?

Hey...Bradley is a great recruiter, a player's coach who inspires loyalty. I think his positives would really begin to emerge over a span of a few years, if he is lucky enough to retain the position that long. He's definitely not going to dramatically improve a defense with a flashy new scheme...he's pretty conservative and he likes to keep the action in front of the safeties.

Fans did that? Brilliant analysis, you poxy-ridden fellatrix.

Franklin definitely lets his coordinators run the show. If there is one thing I am glad to see receding in the rear view, it is a HC that can't get his nose out of the way of the guys he pays to run the schemes. In particular, Bob Shoop is one of the best defensive coaches in CFB...the defense will be great as long as he stays.

His recruiting success is exactly what the program needs most now. PSU needs depth and talent.
