I can't even believe I'm responding to this post. Its really depressing that I seem to be arguing with PSU fans (and/or alumni) of how great our university is. I'm going to assume you didn't attend PSU. To say one bad head coaching hire turns PSU into Lock Haven is beyond absurd.

So, I call B.S.

I've been trying to follow this advice. But some times as the OP has indicated it is difficult to hold faith in the PSU brand in the face of some of the info. being released. But I will stick with you, no gloom and doom until we know who the next HC will be.
