Penn State fans are about as close to a personality cult as you'll find in the U.S.
No, let's be honest. There is no difference between the hardcore Penn State fans and the hardcore fans of any school/team in the country. They are all personality cults.
One only needs to look at Rutgers, and at the hardcore fans defending Rice's behavior.
Penn State is different from all but the most hardcore schools mainly because of the cult of personality built around JoePa. He was bigger than the program, and he was by far the most visible member of the university community.No, let's be honest.

I'll agree with the first part, but there's like only or two people defending Rice. The majority of the just internet mad at Pernetti getting thrown under the bus. Although I will say PSU is a bit more ... remote/isolated than Rutgers/NB; you saw the massive riots in the NB campus when this went down.

He had taken on the status of a religious figure in State College by the end of his career, which is why I think some of the fans have such a hard time believing he was capable of what he did.
You can't compare PSU to other situations just because JoePa's status was unparalleled in college athletics. I'm only slightly exaggerating when I say he was a godlike figure in State College. Maybe "saintlike" is more appropriate.I would argue that other colleges would react the same way if an icon of their programs got caught like Paterno did.
It's just that none of their icons would permit the behavior that Paterno permitted.
Fair enough. Though I feel it's more than one or two posters who support Rice.
Anyway - my favorite part of the "New Brunswick riot" (now that was just one or two or ZERO people) was that one kid who threw a water balloon at the ESPN reporter. That was hilarious.
:lol, B1G finds out it couldn't come up with a way to split OSU and Michigan. East Heavy, will end up playing Nebraska or Wisconsin every year.

There are always gonna be the hardest of the hardcore fans who are unable to accept that their idol might be a terrible person... What's shocking about that message board thread is how consistent the sentiment is that Paterno's just a scapegoat.

The only thing that may be different is the tenure in Penn Sate, not the breed of fans.
No, it's far more than that.
It's the remote, insular environment of the university, and the enormous impact Paterno had not just on the football program but on the entire institution. That's what separates Joe Paterno from the likes of Bobby Bowden and Mike Krzyzewski.
After all that has transpired, I find it hard to believe that anyone would claim that Penn State is just like everyone else.
yup
Florida in green is weeeeird
Yeah it's not the worst I've seen them do.Yeah, they've gotten better since the Suh model.
So does anyone know what the name of the new playoff will be? Or does anyone have a good bet?
Will the goofy ass bowls finally be pushed back before New Years I hope? Or will we have the national semifinals, then the next day have the Little Caesars bowl?
They'll name it eventually

Cris Carter on Duron:
"He didn't commit a crime, he has no tattoos, he has no kids, and he's a pleasant kid. His thing is he hates school, though," Cris Carter told USA Today's Mike Garafolo. "And I'm his dad. He's really bright; he's got an IQ over 130. He just hates school. We gave him the pretest on the Wonderlic. He got a 28.
"He. Just. Hates. (Bleeping). School.
Funny how the Holiday Bowl was the only applicant to get a rejection letter from hosting the playoffs. I guess being the Holiday Bowl was its downfall. Also, logo 1 looks too similar to the NFL logo for my liking. Maybe they are getting ahead of themselves considering we'll be paying CFB players down the road....oh wait, we already do!
