i fear for the victims in this case...because of the celebrity & power of "joe pa" these kids will always be somewhat vilified as the ones who took down paterno...when in reality they did nothing wrong.

i understand that college athletics is not as pure as it seems..even at penn state which prided itself on a pure game. i get that..a little cheating, bending the rules etc. but this was an act bigger than just ncaa crap. this was life & death...real life stuff.

yeah maybe joe pa did what he was supposed to do by following the chain of command & reporting it...BUT there is a point where you say...no more. i don't want you in our program. you are not worthy. i am calling the police. a man of character would do that..football program be damned.

the students rioting...well they are ignorant caught up in the momentum of it all...once they are calmer & if you ask them about it on a personal nature i am sure you would get a more responsible response. i get that..i was 19 & caught up in a crowd once...

but like i said. i feel for those victims...for now they must live in the shadows all over again. ain't right.
Thanks for this!
