2012 College Football Offseason Thread
TruffleShuffle replied to snoodmonger's topic in Other Sports
boy am i not excited for psu to enter this [expletive] show. if they get someone like urban meyer or whatever, fine, but there's a lot better chance that they end up with a guy who's had a good run recently in the mid-majors, or a highly-regarded coordinator at a big program. with those guys it seems like such a crapshoot as to whether you end up with a chip kelly/gary pinkel type, or (much more likely) a turner gill/dan hawkins/mike stoops-type bust. -
2012 College Football Offseason Thread

is dooley really a serious candidate to get fired? i know UT hasn't been good the last two years, but they dumped fulmer and then had kiffin ditch them a year later... they've had a low # of scholarship players and still been around .500. dooley wasn't really an inspired hire but i don't think he's been bad enough to warrant firing yet. -

almost certainly no. and it's unfortunate for him, because he might have been a candidate if not for the way paterno's term ended. now i can't imagine they'd hire from within, because even if bradley didn't know anything about sandusky's indiscretions he did see the guy walking around a lot, and was sandusky's immediate successor. the washington post reported they contacted mike london (UVA coach) before firing paterno, but he doesn't seem to be interested, and he denied the report unequivocally. i'm sure urban meyer's name will be kicked around. a lot of people used to think that they'd hire someone who had spent time at psu as a coach previously (al golden, greg schiano) but because of the sandusky thing, that seems a lot less likely now. personally i'm pulling for rich kotite. -
To clarify, this is for the announcers who decided that 6 Big Ten teams represents 60%. that was Craig James I for one am shocked that Craig James is deficient in math.

about PSU losing? the only things that upset me about that game were that so many people attended it and that PSU didn't lose by a lot more.

There probably shouldn't have been any this week. I do a college football picks thing on yahoo, and went 0-for-3 in my big east picks this week. I'm not convinced that any big east team is appreciably better than any other big east team.

I'm pretty sure that Texas tech had a victory parade after beating OU and then called it a season.
-
Finally the logic behind Truffle's argument revealed. considering that they paid me like 1/4 of my current salary to work more hours and more weekends at a worse time of day, i don't think that's it. morale at accuweather is regularly worse than it is in the psu football program right now.

gregg doyel - useless moron

also, for those who were upset that i gave up in may this year, i promise i will not be doing that next year.

Michael Bourn is available for a first round pick or top 10 prospect.

Not really, there's almost no new info in this story. It's an excellent summary and this newspaper is one of the few that has journalistically done a good job with the story, but almost all of this stuff was reported previously. I meant it was damning in the sense that, if you're still a JoePa apologist after reading, you're an idiot Define "JoePa apologist"

It's an excellent summary and this newspaper is one of the few that has journalistically done a good job with the story, but almost all of this stuff was reported previously. completely honest question: is there any sort of penn state blog or message board that you are following that has the same mindset as you? a lot of your arguments are very similar to those being made by a penn state alum friend of mine (those yours are way watered down versions of his, he is "losing his mind" angry about this). i was just wondering if there was something out there that you might both be reading. No, I don't post on or read any PSU message boards or blogs. The most PSU "propaganda" that I get is from other PSU grads on Facebook.

that's not that great, pat robertson can leg press 2000 and he's 80 years old.

ok the hot stove in this league is boring, some of the rest of you guys make some trades.

i've been looking around for info on why mcqueary might still be employed, other than his "silence being bought." found a couple of items - one, psu may consider itself liable for punishing someone possibly protected by a federal whistleblower's act, where people can't be punished for blowing the whistle on criminal acts (although i'm not sure how much he "blew the whistle" by reporting the incident immediately and then not saying anything else about it until he was interviewed by detectives and/or prosecutors several years later). the other suggestion was that the state attorney general's office has asked psu to retain him, because if they fire him and he gets fed up and doesn't testify, they lose the prosecution of that victim, since the second-hand testimony of paterno would not be enough.

hahaha yeah i love the gricar thing. the timeline doesn't even make any sense. the first investigation was in 1998 or 1999 and there's no evidence that the 2002 incident was ever investigated. but all of a sudden someone is going to murder ray gricar over the sandusky investigation in 2005? remove the tin foil hat please.

i for one am shocked that a team coached by norv turner is underachieving.

i don't know what weight room he was using, but i doubt it was one of the student ones. i'd assume he used the football weight room, unless there's one for athletics staff. it's plausible that he didn't know sandusky was on campus that particular time, but there's no way he didn't know that sandusky was on campus (at least occasionally) after 2002.
-
Well according to Paul Posluszny (2003-2006) this morning he said Sandusky was still routinely on campus during his career. And of course those were the 4 years following the 2002 allegations. Could have sworn I had read that Sandusky was still using PSU's facilities up until about 2 weeks ago. yeah he was using the weight room or something.

i still think it's more that paterno's status HAD to be addressed within a reasonable amount of time before the game - like they couldn't do this on friday afternoon with a noon saturday game - and just punted the mcqueary and curley decisions for a later meeting. i can't imagine that they'll keep him on, even if he knows a lot and they want to shut him up. he'll be getting grilled by reporters and the trustees will have absolutely no explanation for why they fired paterno but kept the firsthand witness.
-
yes, nobody will disagree with that.
