Did some news get dropped on the team today?

  • md154 said...

    People thought the other night was bad with "riots", wait till they make some announcement like no bowl game or no conference championship type game. That would declare no good leadership is in place AT ALL right now if that's what happens. Punish players who have NOTHING to do with it. Punish fans who have NOTHING to do with it. Bunch of morons if that happens and I hope everyone who had any play in that decision .......... (can't say what i really think)

    Better bring in the National Guard. If they do/did make such a decision, it would be best to announce over break when all the students are gone, but given the leadership we have seen lately...

    I find that preposterous. If we are fortunate to get the wins, we will be there.

    I agree 100%!! It has nothing to do with these kids.

    ...and if you're not down with that, then I got 2 words for ya.."suck it!!"

  • Also Silas will not take contact all week, but he expects him to play on Saturday.

  • Pure guess but what are the chances that the NCAA will be dropping by for a visit?

    I thought I read a few days back that the NCAA was initiating its own investigation. That would have been general knowledge to everyone and not come as such a surprise.

  • The NCAA already issued a statement saying they will be waiting until the legal issues are done before taking a look. There were no NCAA violations to begin with, so how could we be prevented from competing for the Big Ten title? I guess it's possible we don't get invited to an at-large bowl, but that's on the sponsers, not the NCAA.

    I'm guessing the only thing the NCAA may do, since this doesn't involve any violations, is allow players to transfer without having to sit out a year.

    It is also too soon for any type of NCAA sanctions...not that this has anything to do with the football team. banghead

  • Someone needs to pull Sean out of the press conference and get him working on this. Seems a tad more important... uhoh

  • My pure guess on ths going off of cjo's comments is that somebody outside of practice or they all saw a newspaper or tv program that called them child molesters or worse.

    Sounds about right to me. I would think that when they travel to the away games it will be tough to take all comments the opposing fans or people in general will be yelling at them.

  • Don't know about the nature of these tweets, though I did see them... nothing I saw to connect the dots.

    I also saw from players from the Scout team, PJ-Goodman, etc tweeting alot the last two days about the scout team... evidently Elijah Robinson coached the scout team prior to his promotion... not sure who the knew coach is, but he must really have the scout team working its ass off... they were talking about the minutia details and how thick the new scout playbooks was compared to the past...

    Definitely it was like they were surprised to have this much work to put in on the scout team... which is kind of telling... and sounded like the intensity is getting ratchetted up on them... from a fans perspective that seems like a positive development, but the players didn't seem to big on it.

  • This board is awful at blind speculation. wow... LOL Some people never played "connect the dots" in kindergarden I guess.

    The only news that would get all of the players this upset - since it is not a bowl game issue - would be that news came out that the entire staff would be out after the season. . . . or news about a HC replacement (doubtful - too soon for that)

    Notice how there are no seniors tweeting the bad news, but all underclassmen?

    I don't know how that decision could be reached without involving the next coach unless the BOT KNOWS that the entire staff knew enough about the whole affair that they would end up being compromised.

    Well, what else could have a bunch of underclassmen in this much of an uproar? Approach it from that angle.

    It's either the staff not returning (BoT / AD can decide that at anytime), a HC choice, or a bowl game status. Nothing else fits.

    Maybe they were banned from playing COD until after the season is over? After all, Charlie Strong said that playing the game caused his players to be less prepared for Pittsburgh than they should have been. shrug thumbsup

    Maybe the fact that it is underclassmen means nothing more than the fact that the upperclassmen have more sense than to get on Twitter! I get your point, but I don't know that we can say it is an "underclassmen issue" just because they are the ones talking about it.

  • Belton said he got "the worst news ever" and needed to talk to someone about it... shortly after he said he talked to his mom, and everything was better... couple different players asked him if he was all right, and he responded with "Yeah, I am all good".... leads me to believe that it was more personal than anything team related...

    I think Wallz and JB tweeted something too, but I believe that was in relation to their "Joe Paterno and the Media" class this morning. There were 6-8 different media outlets there again today, and Wallace later tweeted about "I dont think I can come to this class anymore".. so I believe their being upset had something to do with the convo's in that class.

  • Thanks for clearing things up G-Man. With how antsy everyone is right now, any little news become BIG news in a hurry. These arevery exciting times, but in a bad way.

  • We should let G-man lead the internal investigation. Dude has this situation on lock down. Good snooping.

    On what grounds?

    Maybe the BOT would decide not to send PSU to the post-season. After all, all post season games are invitational.
