I've been reading this board for probably ten years now, but just never felt compelled to post anything - until now.

Last week I noticed the thread that displayed an intense vitriol against Paul Suhey, upon learning of HIS SON passing out his peppers at the Houston Penn State gathering.

Just so you all know, I just moved to Houston upon graduation (and watch every game at the PSAA Houston game viewing party) and Paul Suhey Jr is someone I know personally. I can say without a doubt that the is the perfect Penn Stater. There are very few people I know more that are more intelligent or driven. He could've easily gone to any school in the country, but chose to go to Penn State. Since moving to Houston, he has been a successful engineer and, in addition, has a part time entrepreneurial hobby selling his Gourmet Suhey Peppers. He was very much looking forward to sharing his passion with fellow Penn Staters, before being ousted by the few pitch fork bearing fans that have nothing better to do than to tear an innocent kid down.

I understand and agree, his father was gutless in handling the whole debacle. But why should his son suffer from his fathers actions?
I understand how one could misconstrue Paul Suhey Sr from Paul Suhey Jr.
I get that - an easy mistake to make. I would have thought that Penn State fans would know better than any to examine all the facts, first, and not jump to conclusions. How hypocritical can you be?
Further, just think about it for a minute. Why would a very successful doctor that lives in PA travel down to Houston to give out peppers? Use some common sense first before throwing around death threats (Lane).
Lane and Marshall 30, after reading your comments, you sound like a couple of losers. Paul Jr is a better representative of what it means to be a Penn Stater than you may ever wish to be.

Grow up, move on, and explore all the facts before jumping to conclusions. And, separately, do it with class - use Joe Pa's life as a positive, and think about what he would say.

Lets skip all the fire Donavan and other topic killers and get to the meat of it all.

If I was coaching, I would bench Hackenberg and give McSorley and Stevens a chance. QB's who can move out of the pocket and throw on the run to account for our lack of depth at O-Line.

Now you have Barkley sitting back there as a homerun hitter. You can definitely use play action more with him, but you also have a QB who can move if the play breaks down

I really like Hackenberg, but he is playing like he needs an all star O-Line in front of him and that just is not going to happen during his tenure at Penn State.

At Receiver throw deep more often. Let your guys go one on one and make a play. This isn't pro football. You don't have all star corners playing against your wide receiver every game. Let them make a play more often. Jerry Rice wasn't the fastest receiver to ever play. But he made plays when you threw him the ball.

Defense I don't change much. Maybe keep a safety a little closer to support the run since our Linebackers struggled a little bit against a good running teams.

No trial date to be set for the Paterno suit v. NCAA until late 2016. They cited documents coming from Centre Co. Courthouse. If they're not even contemplating setting a trial date for more than a year from today, this IMO could drag on another 3-5 years, easy.

The reaction by their coaches and fans was dispicable. Targeting penalties are obviously designed to make the game safer. Why anyone would congratulate a player for being flagged and confirmed to be targeting is a very sick soul.

And all 3 plays called was the very predictable run up the middle. No first downs made...one of the many many issues of our offensive play calling...

Here is an email sent to PSAA-Houston members today. Please feel free to send the chapter's board an email at psaahouston@yahoo.com if (like me) you find Paul Suhey's appearance to be in bad taste. IMO, he should “retire” his plans to come to the event.


Dear ,

Finally a game where we played well in all three phases! Hopefully this momentum will carry us into a good game against Ohio State!

Just a quick note about the game at Social Junkie this week. They have an event from 3:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m., so there will be an overlap as their event ends and our game starts. We may have to be patient while space opens up for us to sit at tables. A reminder, valet for Penn Staters is free, so please let us know if you encounter any difficulties.

Also, Taylor Mayer and Paul Suhey will be at Social Junkie giving out samples of Suhey Gourmet Peppers to our Penn State group!

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or another member of the board via psaahouston@yahoo.com.

For the Glory Y'all!

Truly bizarre. They think they are going to get Chip Kelly, but their realistic best-case scenario is something like Greg Schiano or Matt Ruhle, or someone roughly equivalent. Is that really worthy of a mid-year firing? If I were them I'd try to hire Bo Pelini or even Rick Neuheisel, but I doubt they will.

put up here yesterday, said he would be making a statement. He was Baldwin's partner.

"Byer said he would be issuing a statement today."

OK pal, so where the F is the statement?

What a terribly embarrassing joke this is for every judge in PA. WTF did Byer DO when he was supposed to be looking at this stuff?

And why in the HELL would our BOT think they had to pay three-finger Louie Freeh $8 mil+ when this GD shill was in Pittsburgh? Even at $500 an hour he was probably cheaper than Louie, and he apparently does not even care if he lies and we know it.

Where the statement, Byer? Hmmmm?
Update: Last night the Philly paper said, "Byer is recovering from surgery and has been unavailable for comment."

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Just wait till this advanced civilization learns we're still using oil b/c solar panels are too expensive.

Where should a young adult go to be advised about budgeting, housing, etc? My older daughter is making plans to go out on her own and I think it's critical for her to get some professional advice.

None other than Louis Freeh. Thanks for the reminder, @JmmyW.

I was bored and looked through my old ticket stubs and got to wonder about the other members of the BWI board.

How long have you been a Penn State football fan? For me, since 1968.
When was your first Penn State football game? 1982 my junior year
How many years have you attended at least one home or away game? Every year since 1988 so 26 to be 27
Do you have a consecutive home game streak going? I do not.

1. I knew the Bucs had a good shot at losing last night. What really ticks me off is, for the 2nd straight year, in front of a raucous and loving crowd, they got no runs and exactly 4 hits. I don't care who is pitching, being shut out on 4 hits in 2 consecutive Wild Card games is unacceptable.
2. I expect the Pirates to compete again next year but I also expect a drop off. I'm thinking 93 wins. Whether that gets them a WC is questionable.
3. The Cubs will win this Division next year and will probably be the top dog over most of the next 5 years.
4. I hope the Cubs win the World Series but I honestly don't care. I doubt I will watch much of the rest of the post season. I seldom watch games other than the Bucs. I guess that means I'm less a baseball fan than I am a Pirate fan.
5. FINALLY, the best part of this past season was not Bucco wins and losses, but sharing those ups and downs on this Board with all the Pirates fans. I won't list names for fear of missing someone, but you all know who you are. I hope we're all still here this time next year to share the joy of a World Championship, but no matter what the outcome, we are bound by our love for a group of over paid, underproducing, millionaire ballplayers. We must be crazy!

Is there an honest lawyer, politician, or government official anywhere in this state?

I am not sure if I should laugh or cry reading this article. Is it for reals? Onion? Crazy...

I just listened to Ziegler’s appearance yesterday on Kevin Slaten’s show. Ziegler discusses the Sandusky sex tape and how Heim was apparently ready to come to Sandusky's defense when everything hit the fan in November 2011, but was told not to defend Sandusky because a contact of Heim’s, who was apparently close to Ira Lubert, told Heim there was a sex tape of Sandusky with a boy. Heim relays this story to Ziegler, who tries to convince Heim that the story can’t be true since there would be no way such a tape would not have surfaced already given the fire storm around this affair. Heim apparently refuses to believe Ziegler and doesn’t believe his friends at PSU would mislead him. Ziegler indicates that he basically pesters Ira Lubert to confirm if a sex tape ever existed and after a number of attempts in trying to get Lubert to respond, Lubert finally sends Ziegler an email indicating that no sex tape exists. If Ziegler is telling the truth (no reason to expect he isn't), where did this whole sex tape story come from and what role did Ira Lubert play in disseminating it? I find it a very bizarre story.

As a side note, Ziegler discusses the pennlawfumble article and indicates it was written by a prominent lawyer in Northern California, but he does not appear to know who it is. He relays an interesting story that he spoke to Dick Vermeil about the whole Sandusky case and Vermeil (who wrote the introduction to Sanduskys book) told Ziegler that Herman Edwards mentioned to Vermeil a while back that there was a lawyer in California that was going to blow the whole case against Sandusky wide open. So according to Ziegler, Edwards knows who the lawyer is who wrote the article. Ziegler attributes this to Edwards being from California, but he gets it wrong when he indicates Edwards attended Cal – Edwards attended San Diego State (he is from Monterey though). Just found it interesting that Herman Edwards of all people is linked into this whole mess.

For the Alumni, and very little for the students. This guy is worthless and a disgrace. He's lied to us numerous times.
