The Lions' Pride

Appreciate the sentiments, Jimmy.

hopefully this will bring your fan base and program closer. Learn from it, move on and be better. Penn state is a blue collar program much like ohio state. Im confident you guys will bounce back.

Unfortunately there are many out there that do judge PSU on the actions of these few.......including some in the media.

This following message was sent to me by PM because I started this thread:

"kking25 minutes ago
Tattoo U backs Ped State...Perfect match. Dumb ass"

This is a Notre Dame fan and the kind ignorance that has driven this whole situation out of control!

To the PSU fans,

You are the people who I truely feel sorry for. You are the innocent supporters of your favorite school and team.

There are stupid people in all fan bases so ignore those and there will always be some good posters who show up from those schools.

Last year I did not want to open any thread because it would always go back to Tress being a liar and the free tats--It still goes on but other true fans will forgive and move forward. I would like to see PSU come through this stronger and a very good competitor for a long time. Looking forward to coming to HV for another game to see some of the fans I have meet in previous trips.

Good luck tomorrow and hope you the true fans come through the day in good shape.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I've developed quite the heavy hatred for the NCAA.

Thanks to all Buckeye Nation that are supporting us during this very difficult time!! We appreciate it more than you'll ever know!! No doubt we are mortal enemies between the lines of the battle fields we compete on but in scholastics and life we are of the same mold!! Thanks!!!

Appreciate all the kind words Buckeye fans. Kudos to you guys for not following the "popular trend" and bashing PSU while its at its lowest point.

There are many of us that feel this way. For me it is always Buckeyes number one and B1G second. This is devastating for all of the true B1G fans. PSU is a great school with great tradition. You will be back....sooner than you think.

Hang tough, you will survive this. I always wanted you guys to do well 10 weeks a year. I am a buckeye through and through but my heart really hurts for you. We went through hell but we (I think) came through stronger. Good luck tomorrow but I think it is really going to hurt ALL of us! Stay true to your Lions because no matter what others say as long as you remember YOU ARE PENN STATE!

Good Luck tomorrow!!! You will bounce back!!

I am a Buckeye over at the Bucknuts site. I also hate what is happening to you guys. Yes, it was horrible, but really only a handful of people did this and they are paying for it. I never understood why the innocent people (in this case, the teams and university) have to pay such a hefty price.

PSU is one of the crown jewels of the B12 so I hate to see this happen. I know how you feel (to a lesser extent) because we were the punching bags with the tattoo stuff.

I will say, that many PSU fans gloated quite a bit and what happened to us, to the point of sounding self-righteous. Hopefully this will humble those fans, lest not they cast the first stone.
