This is disgusting to listen to.
That same Pitt team beat Clemson and Penn State was the hottest team in the country the last half of the season.
In a year with 127 flawed teams Penn State should have been in the top 4.
Stop treating child rape like an underdog story ESPN FFS.

they are saying that nobody currently involved in the program are involved at penn state. what's up with your crusade against some kids playing their hearts out? haha.
Teams that get blown out by 40 generally don't make championship games.

That's true but if the NCAA didn't kill the program....kids were going to go.

Ugh.
Hate that disgusting school but I hate their disgusting fans more. At least the school only cares about money, fans and alums aren't beholden to root for a team and enable it.
Uuuuugh.

I can't even pretend to forgive Penn St when they fought the sanctions the entire way when they deserved the death penalty. And the school and its fans still pretend like they are victims. I can admit that Penn St is a really good college football team, but it doesn't go beyond that. And the fans still want to honor Joe Paterno. Fuck them.

Got an amber alert on my TV interrupting the game
Half expected to see Penn St. had scored again by the time the game came back on.

Yep, dat OSU embarrassment combined with them actually being competitive is the cherry on top

Would have been more exciting than the game we watched instead.
Normally I would agree, yes, but 2016 was an odd year with the exception of Alabama dominance.
Penn State showed drastic improvement over the second half of the season and won the conference. That should count for something. I'm not saying discount early results, but the committee should care more about how teams are currently playing going into the post season, instead of giving a spot to a limping Ohio State because reasons.

Hey remember how your entire athletic department and football program enabled a child rape ring for it's defensive coordinator for 30 years?
Oh right. Course nobody does, cause they're good again because the NCAA couldn't give them the death penalty legally and, like the scum they are, Penn State sued them.

Wow, Penn State had 21 when I left near the end of halftime. Not even halfway through the 3rd quarter and they doubled their points?

And actively think the issue was only one person. Rather than the school itself that put football over kids.
Nobody likes what happened but it's kind of dumb to blame/hate all these kids and coaches who weren't there when it happened in my opinion.
Blame the NCAA for not killing the program. You can't expect coaches/kids not wanting to play/coach there.
Well that loss is almost definitely why they were kept out. If they had been at least competitive with Michigan, they would have gotten in over OSU.
I do understand what you are saying though.

Holy shit it was 28-27 when I walked out. Wasn't expecting USC to be down like this.

Having a player stand up and talk about proud tradition is the epitome of everything wrong with the program and the culture that let you shield a child rapist for 30 years.

Yes you fucking can. This kind of fucked up attitude is exactly why when the sanctions happened people were furious. Because it means point blank that the university learns and suffers NOTHING.
You can absolutely blame people for enabling them just like you can blame Baylor's new coaches and players for enabling their fucked up culture. Not to mention their new ball coach is scum on his own.

The NCAA for once didn't have the power to do the right thing. What little they did do was even an overstep. And it give it 10 years and people from Penn St will be arguing about how Paterno needs to be honored.

I went to the Rose Bowl and a Big XII game broke out
He ballsed up handling rape allegations within his program. He didn't come out of that looking good at all. Suspicions of a cover up, obstruction, etc

I'm interested, too. Edit: ugh.
I feel like Darnold is best when he is flushed out and scrambling. Give him a solid pocket and he's meh.
