Magnetic Curses

paterno's tarnished legacy is nothing. boo [expletive] hoo, the guy was rich and powerful and fell because of his own inaction. he had the power to stop sandusky, to bring him to justice and he either covered it up or did nothing. sandusky being dead in 1970 would have been a preferable solution, but it wouldn't have changed the fact that paterno was an [expletive] and the type of person who would cover up a kiddie rape scandal, hardly worthy of this idolatry.

i don't recall seeing that he went to the police. even if he did, it seems he just forgot about it soon afterwards. if he went to the police with any intention of doing the right thing, he quickly forgot what the right thing was and did nothing as sandusky held an office on campus. furthermore, paterno disinherited sandusky for the reason of spending too much time at the second mile. he knew that 1. sandusky molested a boy in the shower and 2. sandusky spent a ton of time with young boys. he either covered it up or he's incredibly incompetent and lucky nothing came out until november of 2011. and according to inside sources, paterno knew everything that went on with the program, people referred to him as "the rat" because he had to know everything. so what happened? why didn't he follow up? why didn't he make sure that the cops were following up? why did he allow sandusky to maintain a presence on campus? what info did he take to the "police" and what happened during that meeting? it's too bad he's taking what he knew to the grave with him. but i'm glad he died knowing the legacy he cared so much about was irreparably damaged. you can feel sorry for your dishonored demigod if you want, but by all accounts he did this to himself.

i wouldn't be devastated with emery, but let's get ross all the same.

yes.

boniol was the blurst

do you remember the bubble-screen game? it was when crowton was still the coordinator and iirc, he pretty much invented the bubble-screen on that day. i'd never seen it used before this game, but we had 3 long touchdowns between booker and robinson on those things. miller had like 460 yards passing or something dumb like that. i can't remember who we played that day, but i think we won. EDIT: it was this game, and we lost. randy moss and cris carter destroyed us, and jeff george actually had a year in which he lived up to his potential. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199911140chi.htm

He's also been a good WR since then. Bears haven't had a good WR since...... Bernard Berrian? Turns out he wasn't that good. Marcus Robinson? He wasn't really that good either. (ironically both of their careers plummeted when they went to Minny; go figure). Maybe Marty Booker? Two really good seasons and faded into mediocrity in Miami. You could make the case that you have to go back to the Conway-Graham tandem of the early-mid 90's. Conway only had two really good years with us, and a third with San Diego when he was 30. Graham was very good the two years he was here, but for some reason we let him go at age 27. He was ordinary with the Jets fir a couple of years (likely due to how crappy they were at that time) but very productive with SD during the final three years of his career.. I think the more interesting question is when was the last time we had a good WR who was more than a two year flash in the pan? You might have to go back to "Wild" Willie Gault, who we also let walk at age 27, and who in reality was more of a track star than a WR...but at least he was a major freaking threat. He averaged 21.3 per catch in 85', and 19.9 per catch for his career. He was probably the fastest player in the game at the time, and the WR position was very different back then (Andre Johnson might have been playing TE). (Honorable mention to Wendell Davis, who looked like he was coming on before he had both of knees ripped to pieces by the stiched turf at the Vet.) This as much an indictment of our offensive philosophy and QB woes as it is of the WR talent. marcus robinson had the greatest season of any bear receiver ever. robinson had a pretty bad back injury while he was with us and he never fully recovered. he was big and fast and he made cade mcnown and jim miller look good.

there's never anything with weber at the helm, he's turning us in to psu

with a loss to psu, near losses to nw and nebraska and a total fluke of a game at home against osu. i wouldn't say the future looks bright.

bruce weber went to his chalkboard and drew up a play for sam [expletive] mansicalco

Myers Leonard's gonna be a lottery pick. I'm sure he'll add to the colorful history of 7 foot white guys in the NBA I'm sure he'd be better than any Penn state player ever if he just made the NBA. Ok. Am I supposed to care about the # of NBA players Penn State has produced? Is this how we're measuring our cyber-dicks now? derwood, you're one of a kind

Myers Leonard's gonna be a lottery pick. I'm sure he'll add to the colorful history of 7 foot white guys in the NBA I'm sure he'd be better than any Penn state player ever if he just made the NBA. hey, john amaechi made the league and then went gay

not watch much college basketball this year, huh?

maniscalco runs the shot clock down to 2 seconds down 3 with 1:26 left. is that what the coach wanted him to do?

they just aren't calling anything our way tonight

i still want to know how that over the back wasn't [expletive] called and the foul was called right after it on the illini. do these refs think these games aren't reviewed?

no over the back? this game is fucked on all accounts

welp, i hope the merrymen are happy, we're going to lose to penn state

at least i have skyrim

Really awful post feeds? less than that

what the [expletive] is that offense? i [expletive] hate maniscalco, he doesn't do anything

it's time you did that

no

offense should be in quotes I was just about to edit them in, lol all they have to do is pass it to leonard every time down and they win the game

offense should be in quotes
