I'm gonna be really frank here. Y'all mention a name regarding leaks and you'll be banned permanently. Get my drift mich? Take your cheap shots elsewhere.
A9 report out in the open
- Thread starter TenerHallTerror
- Start date
And kuddos to Bob78 who took ridiculous sh$t for no reason. He was right.
pg. 94 hundreds of interviewees disregarded and misrepresented
Condescending and unhelpful....impressive!
Instead of "The Big Chill", this is more like " The Big Yawn".
Nothing is going to change or be undone by the release of this stale document. It's truly time to "move on". I know I have.
That is certainly your right. But I thought you posted yesterday that you were leaving here forever, since your values weren't congruent with those here. Did I misread that?
If anyone does have that savvy, please PM me and I will give you my email so you can send it to me.
Hey, thanks! I deserved some of it... if it came from the good guys, it was no biggie to me; some of it I am sure I didn't see because of who I have blocked!
And here's to the Inquirer running a more in-depth story this week... fingers crossed. I think it may take a series of articles/stories including interviews with key players to do really do justice to what this all means.
Nice, a board moderator threatening me.
You have a certain agenda and run this board to promote that agenda.
Fair enough. I'm out. Carry on with your mission.
What's wrong with you? You called out a person with no evidence of a leak. Don't ever challenge an admin on this board again.
Holding out for the plane banner.
Bob78, I made that comment trying to be glib. I didn't doubt your inside dope, just figured it would be put to sleep by the man. It's good there's something out there now from the trustees, for whatever it may end up being worth.

I know, and no biggie, Vic.... I count you among the many good guys on here. For me, it was a quick chuckle at my own expense and then we're off to the next conversation. I can still take a hit or two when I'm wrong!
I didn't threaten you, I warned you. You also mocked another poster in Anthony. There is no reason for this.
Oh God, get over yourself.
If you are “out” for good - I’ll shove my car keys up my ass
Damn it, I wish I had taken that speed-reading course about 50 years ago.....
Yeesh, is that all it took? Hotshoe, we needed you to "threaten" him 7 years ago. Would have saved a lot of us a lot of grief. Don't let the door hit ya, michy.
All you have to do is save the page, "download complete webpage" (or whatever it is for your browser) and it'll save off 113 images which represent the 113 pages.
So far, not much meat at all, a bunch of stuff we already knew. Absolutely nothing close to anything that'll move the needle.

Well, this will be interesting but I’m not real confident that there is a reporter who will deviate from the narrative, Inquirer or otherwise.
I do hope this is a popcorn moment.
It's not like this. We don't tolerate a few things. Calling out players, No 1. Calling out posters No 2. There's no reason for it. Thus why I warn. Making your point is no big deal. Calling out posters and mocking, I'm done with it. There's no reason for it. Ever.
Weren't they supposed to review the Freeh source materials? Why aren't any Freeh source materials mentioned in the report?
Oh yeah, calling out any admin is just plain stupid. But we all know that.
That didn't work for me. The images won't show up. Any other ideas?
So, the university lied when it said the interviewees were promised confidentiality. The Report states, "at the beginning of each interviewee's summary notes definitely states confidentiality was not guaranteed(commonly known as the Upjohn Warning)."
Shocker.
Shocker.

Do you seriously think this will move the needle? Based upon the executive summary, this won’t make waves, and I doubt will even get noticed by anyone not connected to Penn State. It basically says that Freeh did a crappy job and Penn State, the Big Ten, and the NCAA were receiving updates throughout the process. The story would have to have proove that there was collusion to throw Joe and the football team under the bus as a means to divert culpability of government or the BOT. What am I missing?
If you do the car keys, I'll do the lemon. We can at least manage to do what the scUM fans promised a few years ago.
Spanier's full interview content never made the final interview notes. Among the omissions:
p.21
- Spanier passed a polygraph to get his clearance renewed
- Curley and Shultz independently told Spanier he was being wronged when he stepped down, as neither had ever told him of abuse.
- Spanier said the reasoning he thought JS needed counseling was because JS didn't know he shouldn't shower with boys, not because he suspected molestation.
p.21

It won't move the needle one bit because it's just a collection of all the info already dug up by various parties over the years.
Getting into some of that now.
..."instances were source material did not accurately correspond to the Freeh Report. Quotes attributed to Spanier in the Report were not contained in the notes from his interview, prompting questions about what source material was used in the writing of the report."p.21
"Report states 430 interviews were conducted. Surprisingly, only 25% of the interviews are cited."p.23
Confirms Rodney Erickson as source of the errand boy quote. In previous 12 years as Provost Erickson would have had no regular direct contact with the football staff.p.24
Email from Freeh to his associates confirms he "spoke to Ric and we'll try to meet this week. He will call the PS board chair recommend we do the internal investigation." Ric, as in Ric Struthers. p.25

So sad to read this document, and the unwarranted long-term damage sustained by the university as a result of actions by Surma, the BOT, Corbett, Freeh, and Emmert.
I think the release of the alumni BOT review of the Freeh Report will help Spanier in his appeal of his conviction to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. I predict that Graham doesn’t spend a day in jail.
Original drafts of the Report contained a TSM section outlining the connections to the BOT and their millions dollar contracts secured thru the university.
But it doesn’t prove anything. it’s just going to be seen as nitpicking.... like they didn’t use the proper format for a citation. This is a whole lot of nothing.
