The Lions' Pride

Agreed. Some of you want to return your season tickets, hopefully the players don't feel the same way as the rest of you or we might not have a football team. Please sleep on it a few days, don't follow the example media and ncaa in over reacting to things too quickly. As a Senior at Penn State I am greatly looking forward to the coming season. Even if we lose every game it will still be worth it for me, that's because of the people your with and the student athletes we support.

It is more about giving money to the university.

This is the response i got from PSU

At this time, I understand that purchases of event tix are still final sales.

Here is the reply email I received (Basically nothing yet):

Thank you for your email.

What has Coach O'Brien and the young men on the football team done that deserves the loss of your respect and support? They need us now more than ever.

It's a tough situation.

Speaking for myself, I want to support the players and coaches but I also want to make sure Erickson and the BOT know they made the wrong decision. I want a change at the top and the only thing I can think of at the moment is to vacate my season tickets. Our family spends in excess of $20,000 a year for PSU football. I'm really feeling that that money can be spent on something better.

I will wait and see what the fall out is in 10 days. The players even the walk-ons are getting a lot of offers from other schools. I'm not sure what this team is going to look like in 10 days. It just keeps getting worse and worse.

I just want to say that I have run through the gamut of emotions today and I have reached the point that I am proud to say I will be fighting hard for this team...this year. I do not know what future years hold but I have tickets for this year and I intend to stick with that commitment. I know it really sucks seeing our university cower under the hypocritical hand of Mark Emmert but how can we ask our players to stay and fight on for our University of we the fans refuse to fight for them. I know you all do not mean the players any harm but I ask that we do our best to stand together.

I live in Hoboken, NJ, have no car, was out of work most of the spring but I have decided I am going to find a way to State College for every home game this fall. No, we do not deserve this but our bed has been made.

It's not as simple as supporting the players and coaching staff. Every dollar given is by extension support for Rod, Dave and the BoT's and their handling of the scandal. While a packed house this year would be in support of the team, the new leadership will view it as a resounding thumbs up for the job they are doing in managing this debacle. The only message that those folks will hear is the one that affects the bottom line. PSU is not the same place it was 8 months ago. The way I figure it, every person that gives generously in support of that institution has to decide if they can support what is now taking place up there. Furthermore, a refund isn't a realistic option, so I have about 6 months to answer that question (when money for next season starts coming due).

As a fan of The Ohio State University I want to see Penn State back an revelant in the college football world. Have fun supporting the boys that suit up pack the place for them. I will say that in ten yrs from now they will be some of your all time favorite Lions! They will be the heart and soul of the program. It is easy to say with all your success but this is truly is a fresh new start !

hell i don't support obama health care, considering my future in the health field, but you bite the bullet and make the best of the worst situation. a spade's a spade. you get a refund for season tix, you don't support the team. clear as day.

We need change at the top. That means a new President, new AD, and a new BOT.

I have no problem supporting this team and this University through this whole mess but I have a hard time supporting anything PSU as long as the current leadership is in place.
