The Lions' Pride

At this point in time after everything that has gone on I only really care about possible NCAA sanctions at this point. If there is nothing in this report that justifies sanctions then I will be happy and could really careless about the report.

I for one will be very surprised if Paterno "protected" players. I always thought that he handled situations very fairly. Sure, he protected his players, but not from due process, he protected them from being scrutinized publicly for life mistakes. We have had our share of trouble; fist fights, weed, dui's....but outside of Chris Bell who was shown the door, in the broad spectrum of todays student athlete, these incidents have been "minor." If the report says otherwise then shame on me for trusting the icon, but i just don't anticipate that happening. Whether you like Joe or not, i can't think of a situation I thought was shady. I would be extremely surprised to see the report focus on the football coach who, by law, had no obligations beyond what he did back in 2001. Who was he protecting? A former employee? Because its also known that he and Jerry didnt have the greatest relationship in the world following his dismissal.

On a side note, I'm unbelievably surprised that the media hasn't looked into Tom Corbett. I'm dying for someone to dig into his closet. We are talking about the guy who pretty much drop the ball in 1998. The guy who was most tied to Ray Gricar. The guy who had well known political issues with Spandex. The guy who sat on the BOT and was all of a sudden public speaker #1 when shit hit the fan back in Nov. I think his closet is full of interesting storylines. Maybe it hurts PSU, but this guy is sleazy.

The state itself is just as culpable, epic failure on all levels

I commented on it in the blowhards thread. You'd think he'd know what was in his own emails. So I doubt he'd take this stance if he thought anything obviously disproving his statement was about to be released.

thats the exact point.......thats not what they are there for, but thats what will be coming out.

I thought Spanier was not interviewed by the Freeh Group, but an article from today in StateCollege.com by Musselman indicates Spanier met with the Freeh group in Philadelphia within the last weeks.

They are going to get a ton of traffic at 9 A.M. Thursday morning.

Haha yea man. Click on the link.

I believe ESPN ran a pretty in depth article surrounding Corbett. I'll bet you can find it if you google search Corbett, ESPN, and PSU.

The sad part of all of this is that the public's only interest in this report is to see if there is enough evidence to punish the young men who wear Blue and white! It is very sad because not one student or student athlete had nothing to do with any of this mess. People will say well they did it to USC and OSU, but those schools were busted for cheating not because of admin errors.
