Did anyone else see last night on Twitter where Ashton Kutcher goes, "Wow, you fired Jo Pa? No class," and then minutes later admits that he had no idea there was a rape scandal.

I just hope against hope that everyone supporting Joe Pa has no idea there's a rape scandal.


Yah that (and the fallout) were awesome.

1) obviously
2) this will be the largest payday for lawyers since catholic church scandal. penn state a state school. this will be a $100+ million payout. and one of the saddest parts? the money will just come out of the money they would have went to education, scholarships, etc.

the whole situation is mind blowing.

Beyond depressing on any number of levels.


This is why Penn State cant have a football program anymore.

The ESPN folks said during the game that if Penn State won the game, there were rumors that the seniors were going to walk the game ball down to Paterno's house, I guess as some sort of gesture of gratitude.

Just...stunning.


This is why God made them lose the game.



Not quite, bad coaching and the fact that they have Matt Mcgloin on scholarship made them lose the game. That may be the worst offense I have ever seen in my life.

That they trot Mcgloin out every week is unbelievable. I'm not sure how the guy made it out of high school as a QB. Not only can he not read coverages, he can't even check off.



If Penn State doesn't fire everyone down to the locker room janitors out of the entire athletic department. They are fucking up.

This might actually make the job more attractive to a big name like Urban Meyer. Beforehand, it seemed like whoever succeeded JoePa would always be in his shadow. Now, the successor would have an absolute clean slate to do whatever he felt was the right way to go.

He'd be out of his mind to take this job over OSU.

I just used Urban Meyer as an example of a big name.

Disagree, OSU has a trainwreck of an administration. They're already sanctioned, and they're going to get more for failure to monitor. Gordon Gee may be worse to work for than Jeremy Foley. Urban could probably pick his AD at PSU

PSU has been underperforming for years and years. Joe has hung on at least a decade too long. Probably 15 years. I know it's in the middle of nowhere, but I'd rather start a gig without 5 years of sanctions especially if I don't plan on coaching more than 5 years. (I don't see Urban doing this)

PSU already runs a spread and they have great backs. Just a shitty SHITTY SHITTY QB situation and awful coaching on offense. They have won 8 freaking games with THAT offense. UM can fix that QB situation just by taking the job. He would lock down PA, NJ, some of Ohio, probably get into VA and the Carolinas... things Penn State has not done for years.

The same is true in Ohio of recruiting, but the sanctions are going to hurt... why deal with those?

A great coach can do wonders there, especially with the absolutely Horse shit schedule they play every year early.

Now that JoePa is gone, there's nothing stopping them from making Pitt an annual rivalry game. Make it so, new regime.

They should be playing the backyard brawl every year. No kidding. I'd like to see WVU on the schedule too.

It's very similar to FSU and Bobby Bowden. I legendary coach who has the whole university in a choke hold while driving a program he created into the ground due to age. One big difference is Bobby didn't have a coach on staff who was raping the shit out of little kids. At least that I know of.

If on a nationally televised interview you are ever asked "Are you sexually attracted to underage boys?"

Your best bet is to quickly, and emphatically, say "No."

Except Urban has tOSU ties, particularly close with Earle Bruce. I don't expect the sanctions they get hit with will be much worse than what they've already self-imposed which aren't crippling. Maybe a bowl ban for a year, but that would likely hit this miserable season.

True, and he's still more likely to win a National Championship at tOSU. I'm not certain he takes a coaching job at all in the next year though. John Gruden's name gets thrown around a lot too.
