Agreed. I care about pertinent updates but obsessing over it is draining. If I want to read about this crap and get more pissed off I'll head over to the Pitt board.

Cheers to most of our threads reading "barnwell, boyd, Williams, vanderdoes, and anzalone commit PSU"

We are....

We aren't saying ignore it or minimize the importance of these events. It's like waiting for the results of a test, when the results come out you will deal with it...but until then don't go crazy about something you can't control.

We care...a lot, just don't want to make it harder than it already is by obsessing.

Absolutely correct, Itz.

The various bits and pieces "leaked" from time to time give us nothing that clarifies anything.

This is a very personal thing for each of us. No one who loves PSU will ever feel whole again. I know that I will not.

For the Glory!

I had a christian upbringing. Last night I felt something that bothered me. I started questioning this whole investigation about Joe falling from grace, by making a huge mistake. If that is the case I will always remember what he did. I will still look up to the man, that is my conclusion. Christ would have forgiven Joe, and I will do the same. He was human. If I was in his situation I can't truly say that I wouldn't have done the same thing. That sounds really bad. I know people say what kind of person wouldn't report Sandusky? The answer is simple, someone who is human. I can say all I want that I would report Sandusky, but I don't know if I truly would have. So much would be going through my head. Joe (like I) loved this university and I think he made the mistake in trying to protect it.

Unless you are not human then you can't truly say that you wouldn't have done what Joe did. We can't truly see into the mind of Joe. We can't see the thoughts/emotions that were running through his head. This was a stressful situation, no doubt about that.

It's not possible to focus on the future of Penn State if our future is uncertain.

This IS happening in other places NOW! There is no excuse for what happened at our school.

Other organizations should use this as a wake up call to look at themselves.

We have all seen the statistics: Somewhere around 5 - 20% of Boys and 10-30% of Girls are sexually abused before the age of 16.

That frequency cannot happen without alot of people covering up for oneanother.

- Boy Scouts,
- US Olympics
- Syracuse
- MLB / Boston Red Sox
- Religious organizations
- AAU Basketball
- US Congress

Me as well, I'm going crazy obsessing over every little vague detail that the media releases trying to make a story out of it. I know I can't control what other people post but can we atleast create one central post where people can go and talk about it and the rest of us don't have to see a new post every time some tiny piece of info comes out?

Try reading troll. I already owned that we were lied to and the people in charge failed at their jobs.
