Ok maybe we need a real thread for the Sandusky stuff
 
I just read the indictment and it is about 10x worse than I had previously thought.

My mind is blown. They should blow up the entire university.

.....and not to get all Omega Concern about it... but Ray Gricar disappearing seems pretty fucking strange, doesn't it?

all you have to know is that it is about as bad as it could possibly be.

On November 14, 2003, Penn State's Collegian published an article about Jerry Sandusky's dedication to The Second Mile. In retrospect, the piece reveals just how tragically oblivious some of the volunteers and directors of the organization were about their founder at that time. We've compiled some of the quotes from the article, "Coach still teaches in game of life," below:

* Leslie Wilson, assistant director for programs at Second Mile: "I am just overwhelmed at how hands-on Jerry is, and I think he is more involved now than I think he ever was... He has his hands in every event and you can see his real passion for what he believes in, he takes everyone in as family."
* More from Wilson: "I can go on all day about how I feel about Jerry as a person because he is so great for the kids," Wilson said. "It's like he was put on this earth to work with kids. I don't know if I have ever met another man that was as caring and as compassionate with children as he is."

* "If asked, Sandusky gladly attends games or other activities in which his Second Mile children are involved. Through volunteering at local high schools in the region, he is able to keep his head in the game and spend some extra quality time with some of his friends from the program."

* Jeremy Fegert, assistant director of programs at Second Mile: "Most people work from 9 to 5, but Jerry has a year-long job... He always has a kid from The Second Mile with him or around him. It is amazing how he gives everything he has for the things that he believes in."

* Fegert, again: "It is really great to see him interacting with the kids and being an active part in what he has created."

Remember: The first complaints about Sandusky's relationship with children associated with The Second Mile occurred in 1998. This article was published five years later.

On a personal and serious note, this tragedy does make me pretty happy because I dislike PSU. :D

this is disgusting. even if you're just trolling me and trying to bait me.

duovamp 11-08-2011 07:48 PM

Yeah. Utterly, utterly disgusting. What a monster.

Happy Valley, the Vatican of football

Do not read the indictment. Trust me.

This is the biggest scandal in college history. The scenes from Paterno's house tonight is mind-blowingly disturbing.

Spanier, Paterno, the entire athletic department and PSU administration must go ASAP. Corbett is leading the meeting Friday with trustees, that's IMO when things get sorted.

Sepiae 11-08-2011 08:10 PM

I was watching ESPN at the gym and good thing I was sweating, because the tears were just coming. It's horrible. It's so fucking horrible.

JokeyLoki 11-08-2011 08:14 PM

Seriously fucked up. I don't understand how Paterno still has a job right now, or how they're gonna play a football game with this going on.

JokeyLoki 11-08-2011 08:14 PM

Also, just saw a news flash that the number of victims is up to 20 now.

sppunk 11-08-2011 08:15 PM

Well Paterno did nothing "illegal", the players have no role in this whatsoever, so penalizing a team is useless.

Paterno won't be the head coach Saturday at kickoff.

redbreegull 11-08-2011 08:16 PM

just read the indictment holy shit

What? No. A ninth victim came forward to state police late this morning, and they are vetting to see ifhe's real or a jumper.

butthurt 11-08-2011 08:18 PM

So this douchebag was caught giving blowjobs to little boys more than once, as far back as eleven years ago, and something is just now being done about it? WTF

He didn't do anything illegal, but he sure as hell didn't do anything right. You can't just "inform your superior" than wipe your hands clean of it. I don't even understand how he could do that. Other coaches have resigned for less.

Reading it now.


....Of course the Eagles are involved. It just figures.

redbreegull 11-08-2011 08:25 PM

yeah I don't really follow sports so I have sort of just watched this glide by on the ticker at the bottom of my screen recently. Totally shocked.

Eulogy 11-08-2011 08:27 PM

www.pennlive.com is where most the best coverage is - they've been following this for 3 years now.
