I'm telling you, the police in state college will have a field day with every single riot photo. It happened in '05 when we stormed the field after the OSU game and it'll happen here.

definitely agree. this thread (and the links posted in it) is my sole source of info on this matter.

agree with this. Even if you dont give a **** about Paterno when you hear the noises start outside your drom/apt/whereever you are youre gonna get interested and get involved. Those who did damage are not excused, but I dont blame the people who were in the middle of the crowd one bit as long as they didn't damage property.

This is gonna be pretty horrific if true.

yep. If this spans into college football as a whole rather than just psu then its just so big I cant comprehend it. I'm surprised this many people could keep it quiet, if even more did then wow.

I went to PSU for three years, and it was the greatest three years of my life. I still consider myself a nittany lion even though I never graduated. This just makes my stomach sick and I wish it would all disappear.

It's a shame they aren't a doggedly determined when prosecuting child molesters as they are in going after goalpost vandals.

I can't fathom how far reaching this scandal could extend if the pimping story is true, especially if donors are named.

this is the biggest farce of them all.

He's active because he's the QB coach iirc and he relays the plays over to the QB.

I'm shocked that this man is not on some type of leave or have already been fired.

Insofar, he's the only one who actually witnessed an alleged molestation/rape/abuse of a child and did nothing about it.

right and that's why the more i hear, the less i fault mcqueary - there must be lots of skeletons buried around there

mcqueary's biggest moral failing (aside from not stopping the rape - call this one 1B) is in not leaving the program knowing what he knows

That photo seems a weird illusion because the bigger guy is foregrounded, and Paterno's probably little, but that's a big dude. Hard to imagine him physically intimidated.

When I heard "Graduate Assistant" I initially thought skinny small waterboy type. Even telling me that he got hired as a coach didn't really change my opinion, but that guy is football-sized and it doesn't strike me as credible that physical confrontation could have worried him that night in the showers.

How many coaches ever retire like that? Successfull for 20 years, could get any number of million dollar gigs at big schools, but just retires at 55? THat's so uncommon, and the timing is faintly damning.

mcquery is a former star qb under JP and then JP takes him in after pro qb dream dies. so he knows nothing else then this well im gonna keep using "cult". so he should leave but as others have pointed out, its understandable. we are...penn state we are...well he is for sure.

If he blew the whistle, we wouldn't be talking about this now. All he did was tell his boss. Have no idea how he could be considered a whistleblower.

I wonder if others will use the 'I put my lips on 'the whistle' but didn't blow' defense...

That's the very definition of a whistleblower.
