LOL at the Bolden apologists and me not saying he is/was terrible for years now.

also, I'm pretty sure that "we're going to make everyone forget about the child rape" isn't a rallying cry you want to be a part of.

Of those 5 guys (Hs seniors right?) I'd expect at least 2 to back out by next year

Maybe or maybe not.

The whole idea of resurrecting a damaged program(and the us vs the world angle) might be the one thing that could keep these guys there. We just have to wait and see what happens.

2% sounds crazy but you'd be surprised at how many people don't pay attention to sports.

I know a woman from Boston that doesn't know who Tom Brady is.

No time to do it than when the heat is the most intense so to speak.

If they don't do it in the next thirty days or so, I think the chances go down fairly significantly.

I think how the team performs this year and how the fanbase reacts during the season has at least something to do with how this all plays out for the seven "big" recruits in the class of 2013

not nearly as laughable as characterizing helping penn ****ing state get over the child rape as "a really unique opportunity at Penn State to do something really special" and wanting "...to bring a community together" and hoping to "...be remembered for a long time and give a community hope."

yeah, after rereading that I'm absolutely correct to clown this fool. and you. get some ****ing perspective. unless you're down with child rape... in which case, continue posting as you have been.

Perspective indeed.

I don't think Matt Barkley's draft prospects have been hurt by playing through a few years of NCAA sanctions with no bowl game appearances.

Meh, I get that he's a young kid and it's really unfair to expect him to give a 10 minute stump speech about right and wrong here, but his lines do read as yet another person that just doesn't get it. He seems to think if they can just get the football team winning again, it'll be all good. That's basically missing the entire point.

one more time, since you seem to be losing touch with reality: the "penn state community" should neither be the priority, nor is it deserving, when it comes to healing. its actions when the scandal broke, and pretty much ever since, have demonstrated that beyond a reasonable doubt. I'm not sure how to characterize the idea that the culture that was a huge contributor to the horrible crimes that occurred is now going to "heal the community," but the phrases that come to mind definitely aren't laudatory.

THIS ISN'T A "FIND THE GOOD," "SILVER LINING" SITUATION. they need to take their lumps and stfu. period.

One more time. Who said the PSU community is the priority over the victims, justice being done etc? Did I miss something in Brenneman's quote? Was he somehow dismissing the seriousness of the wrongs that were done by saying what he said? Please explain.

You can't have concern for the victims and want to help the school/town/area to heal?

Perspective indeed

dude, you've made some good points at times, but now you're careening toward skiier status. unless espn snipped the quote, this asshat didn't say a thing about sympathy for the victims, the horror of what happened, or anything else. as for the PSU community, as far as I'm aware, neither do they during all their whining and bleating.

in other words: ABSOLUTELY, YOU DUMBASS. HE DIDN'T SAY A WORD ABOUT IT. Clear enough? When the subject is child rape and how your school covered it up and enabled it for more than a decade, you don't get to "look forward," "get past this," or anything else. You get to stfu and take your medicine.

god it is going to be so insta-megatilting when 110k cultists show up and jerk each other off at pedo state's first home game

but its going to be even more awesome than that is tilting when they get their asses mauled for like 5 straight years. would absolutely love to see that stadium like half empty in 2015.

Your reaction struck me as if the kid said that they were going to go out and win one for JoePa.

I almost feel bad about the name-calling, but I really suspect you're being intentionally obtuse.
