...knowing there is a very real chance that someday Lubrano and company and/or Spanier and/or Paterno et al. will actually obtain access to raw correspondence between him and Freeh?

Will he lose his lucrative job?

Will he be exposed for criminal fraud?

We all know that something really rotten is in those files. What is it?

had grown into such a colossus, economically and politically, that it was able to cover up criminal activity by Jerry Sandusky for years and years.

That narrative was false, but the truth is in some ways even worse. PSU itself is that colossus. The BoT had at least as much knowledge of Jerry's proclivities as Joe did, and understood the implications better. And the BoT is protected by powerful political allies, even today. Yudichak's bill will re-orient some of the power from SC to Harrisburg, and they will fight that with all they've got. Still not a word from Jake Corman, by the way, on whether he supports the bill. Is Jake going to protect them?

The recent BS from the PSAA is just astonishing. The level of arrogance and entitlement is off the charts. Williams is a file clerk in a top level position, and WAYYY too defensive to head up an organization of this size. Why is he there? Because he played the PSU inside game for a lot of years and got to the top.

The usual response of a bureaucracy to attacks from without is to increase staff. Witness the growth of the AD's staff in the last couple years. They are bringing in less money, and paying out huge fines, and seeing their revenue docked, and the response is to pile on more employees to further reduce the amount of funds available to run sports programs.

The AA reminds me of my impression of some of the student government "leaders" I shared the campus with in the late 70s. The ones I knew were resume building apple polishers. They no more gave a damn about the issues I cared about than Roger Williams cares about your concerns today.

To some extent, the outside critics of PSU, who have long lambasted PSU for arrogance, and whom I have long dismissed as jealous fools, were right. Now we get that arrogant BS turned on us and we can see it for what it is.

It makes me sick. They have driven a number of us away. If this cannot be fixed with dramatic change in how the AA and BoT operate, then I am likely done with PSU altogether.

Now that Tommy is out of office, there's been little activity regarding his role in the whole Sandusky debacle. What is he covering up? Why did he want Freeh to white-wash his involvement in the whole Sandusky mess?

I lived in dorms my entire time ay Penn State. I started in the East Halls, then ended up in Beaver Hall in the South Halls area the rest of the way. I ate most of my meals at the South Halls cafeteria. I know most students didn't like the food, but I for one liked it. I guess back then, I wasn't all that choosey as money was tight! I was there in the early 70's. The 2 meals that stood out to me were the Swiss Steak and the macaroni with meat sauce (Beef-A-Roni). Then on some weekend nights, going to the Train Station (not far from McClanahans) and having a Turkey Sub was a real treat! What are your recollections?

.

Interesting development (did Kane find Fina's mole?): AG Kane fires head of criminal appeals, James Barker, who testified at the investigative grand jury looking into Kane. Armed agents took him from office.

James Barker is the same guy who read the JVP, Curley, & Schultz GJ testimony into the record at 12/16/11 hearing p173 (thanks to @JmmW on twitter for finding this fact!). Link to 12/16/11 prelim.

That's a heck of a coincidence...perhaps Barker may have purposely mis-read of some that testimony to have the record help Fina's case (specifically Joe's "it was a sexual nature" part)??? I wouldn't put anything past him....

I've seen the last couple of televised men's lax games. This team stinks and its record reflects that. It doesn't seem like the team has been very good in recent memory.

How is this possible? Pennsylvania every year is producing some of the best players in the country. But, Penn State doesn't end up with them. In fact, the PSU team seems to be surprisingly light on Pennsylvania players. This is kind of like Minnesota hockey fielding a team of guys from Illinois and stinking.

The quality of the team and the failure of recruiting in PSU's own backyard seem like problems to me.

Always love a little nostalgia on a Friday! Thought about this while buying up a bunch of 90's music on iTunes this morning. Was at Penn State from 93-97, and music was a big part of my life then. I remember going to Blue Train Records for midnight launches and walking campus with my discman. Anyway, I loved a lot of 90's female performers and was mostly into alternative then. These are the girls I remember most (and make me wonder what the hell is going on with today's music - wow I'm old.). Write in's welcome!

Documentary about Scientology that is just over the top fascinating. I'm about a half hour in, and seeing Tom Cruise's speech at their annual convention just made me cringe. The testimonial from former members is just unbelievable, and the footage of LRH peddling his science fiction as religion is weird as hell. Here's the most published author in the world cherry picking his SF ideas and turning them into a religion. The guy is on record as saying 'the only way to make money is to start a religion,' and that's exactly what he did. And the key to their success and financial influence is their priceless tax exempt status.

You can see why celebrities are so into it though; this is the one religion that is all about YOU, and how to make YOUR LIFE better. And give you super powers. Praise Xenu! Sigh - how did anyone fall for this hokey BS?

Tonight on All Things Considered NPR will have a segment on Coach Paterno. Not sure of specific time but you can go to the website and listen tonight or tomorrow.

Son is starting a ministry in West Dayton and his ministry partner bought a cheap house for them to live in. I was out there over the weekend working on the electrical. Need an HVAC contractor to install return air to second floor, heat duct to first floor bathroom, .....

Any referral would be appreciated

what a great "right of passage" episode this week. Aside from a couple of great scenes where mom bedazzles the oldest son's Flyer's jersey, is the story of the youngest son and dad who go to a Phillies game at old Veterans Memorial Stadium.

ten year old has to go to the bathroom after drinking a 32 ouncer and Dad, thinking he's old enough and not wanting to miss any of the game, sends him alone. Kid finds the bathroom a horror story and goes up a floor thinking it is the higher priced area and will be nicer. As a result, kid gets lost. He can't find his dad, dad can't find him.

I've been on both sides. As a kid, I got lost at a Penn St./Pitt game at Three Rivers. I found the family but remember being half scared to death. As a Dad, I remember doing the bumper boats on a cool day with my two sons and got wet. We had just enough credits to go on the go carts that only held three and my youngest son was too small to go. I left him, about six at the time, near the railing while I raced with my older boy (age 8). When we got done, the youngest was gone. It only took five minutes to find him but those were the longest five minutes of my life. And, when I found him, he was freezing (from being wet) and crying. Some older lady was trying to comfort him and help him find me. To this day, I feel horrible about it. But, I consider it a right of passage for the kid and being a father.

Any one here woodwork? If so, do any of you have experience with Jointer/ Planer machines? I am considering purchasing one in the near? future. Jet and Hammer USA(Felder/ pro-sumer line) are possible candidates. I like that you can get segmented cutterheads with both of these units.


Casadei/ Minimax are probably beyond my budget, but would be willing to wait if that truly is the way to go. Due to the small shop area I have, I need to have such a unit because I don't have room for two stand alone units.

Any thoughts?

I hate the NCAA. This is their cash cow

"Bald Misstatements" & "Vitriolic Accusations"

I moved to New Hampshire from Pittsburgh in the fall and started to really get into skiing this winter. Anyone from the New England area know of any good places to get ski equipment at cheap prices after the season ends??

I already bought a season pass for next year and want to get my own equipment but know everything can get really expensive. Thanks!

Lubrano now pissed that he voted for settlement.

The Bank of Penn State

Maybe it was already discussed but I happened across this the other day and wondered everyone's thoughts on it. Why would so many teams offer?

65 FBS Offers!
