If there is one thing to learn from this incident and others is that you should always go to your city/county police if you are in serious trouble. Never go to university police. They will always cover it to try not to hurt the university's reputation.

Though it won't necessarily help. Wasn't it the actual city/county people that buried the Jerramy Stevens rape case at UW?

My point is we don't know what happened yet. For all we know the conversation could have went like this:

JoePa: Tim, you won't believe what I just heard about Sandusky.
Tim Curley: Oh shit, no way. I will get a hold of Gary Schultz and we will take care of it.
JoePa: Thanks for looking into this.

You forgot the next line in the script.

JoePa (to self): Now that I have fulfilled my legal obligations, I can safely ignore the implications of this and act as though everything's a-ok!

You know what they say about raped children...give them six inches and they take a mile.



That's terrible.

I can't tell who is a Penn State alum in this thread or if they really care about Joe Pa. Who gives a fuck about him. Let him eat Sandusky Blitz.

Kind of my point. At this point we would have to be mind readers to know Joe was trying to cover it up. Let's just wait for all of the facts to come in.

Har...har har. OK, using "set up" obscured my point. What I meant is that there's this narrative being put forward that it's all about Joe Paterno, which certainly sells in the media, when the problem seems much bigger than that. Many more heads than Joe's should roll.

Well the fact he is set to coach this weekend is a pretty big deal.

Actions speak louder than internal monologue.

Or in this case, lack of action.

Easy. JoePa wears many hats, but none of them give him time to make a couple of phone calls.

I heard something about it... But he runs that school. He should have said something then. Just firing him and letting him abuse someone else is just as wrong.

Seriously, this entire thing seems so out of character for him. Everything about him has always exuded class (sorry NHL-Gaf...). If he did do something wrong I would be willing to bet it was a crime of carelessness rather than intent.

NO no man ... his job is too important to be bothered with following up on a rape cases. No way his mind was in the right place. Clearly thinking of the X's and the O's ... the important thing ... Penn State Football.

Bullshit. Paterno fires him and now he's free to continue abusing children.

No fucking excuse.

I'm starting to see that now.

Now I'm thinking about going to Beaver Stadium for the Nebraska game. Should be super historic.

What is with your vendetta against JoePa?! I get it, you think that he didn't do enough but don't you think a man who has been around for that long and has done many great things for the university deserves some reasonable doubt?! He wasn't the one who did the crime. He did what he thought was expected of him.

Yes, morally he could have done more, and so could have all of the other chain of command.

I think you should read more into it.

Saturday's game is going to be crazy.

I've read about no fewer than four different student movements in preparation for the game, including:

-A Blue Out
-A Teal Out (teal being the color for victims of sexual assault)
-Don't show up
-Be silent during the game

Et cetera, et cetera. It will be interesting to see if any take hold.

I just do not see how Paterno will be the coach Saturday. This thing is just insane.

Maybe he'll be in the box? Unless he's been in the box already most of the season and not on the sidelines.

I don't know about that. If what people here believe is true then maybe. But I wouldn't be surprised to see JoePa come out pissed and tell people he actually did follow up and was lead to believe it was investigated and that Sandusky was innocent. JoePa seems pissed. If that's the case you have to believe there's a reason he feels like he's being thrown under the bus.
Click to expand...
If he thought the investigation was done and Sandusky was innocent why did he keep McQuery on his staff? If Sandusky is innocent doesn that make his WR coach a liar?

I think its more kids are stupid and they love Joe Pa. I doubt they are thinking very rationally at the moment.
