Did anybody check out the RB pics on PennLive....

I'm not going to link it because everybody gets all pissy but I did check out their photos. I swear I saw one of KiJana talking on the sidelines with who I thought looked like Desmond Howard???? Also for sure there's a shot of Corso in casual dress standing on our sideline. What in THE HELL??

They commented on TV about Kijana talking to Desmond. The conversation didn't look like a happy one from what I could see.

Good, then I'm not hallucinating. I don't understand the ball-washing PSU does for these hateful, spite-consumed cockroaches. There's no way in hell they'd be on my sideline.

KiJana and Howard were shown on TV conversing near the PS sideline. As I recall, Fowler or Kirkstreit noted late in the first half that halftime commentary would be from a setup the camera was showing in an on-field corner. I'm assuming Howard was involved in that halftime show (I didn't watch). I'm going to speculate that Howard was marking time until halftime and that the PS sideline was closest to the halftime show desk.

They showed Kijana talking to Desmond on live TV...

It looked like a normal ("happy") conversation to me

In the thread before someone calls Ki-Jana a traitor or some ridiculous nonsense

This is exactly the wrong way to deal with the media...

When JoePa was a young coach, he would invite the press to discuss thing while having a bourbon or two. He made friends that way. People got to see a little deeper into the program and what Joe was all about. As he got older, and the press got younger, he stopped "networking" with them. They wrote or said things he didn't like and he would show his displeasure. Do you think that made the press WANT to say nice things about Joe and the program? Of course, it's their job to write about Penn State and should have enough professionalism to not hold a grudge. I would also point out that speaking to the media is part of a coaches job, and coaches should have enough professionalism to take it in stride when someone writes something they don't like.

Also, from a psychology standpoint, it is recommended that you sit next to a person who could potentially disagree with you. This is because people are much less likely to initiate conflict with someone they are sitting close to.

Finally (if you believe that they really are out to get us), as the saying goes... keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Normally during a happy conversation people turn towards eachother. don't look away from the person they are speaking to. Etc.

To me it looked relatively strained although at times happy.

That was my opinion at the time. Maybe I was wrong.

Part of the problem also was that the press at the time stopped respecting "off the record" comments. That was another reason, if not the main one, for Paterno's ire.

I get all that. Nothing you do for that crew is going to get them to broadcast PSU coverage without a hateful bias. The game had started. Their job is (or should be) over at that point. They just spent three hours telling the world what a stain we are on the globe, and now they have sideline access on our side. It's one thing to take bad press in stride, but it's an endless drumbeat with this outfit.

Or you could just snap the twig without a brain in half and toss the halves into a dumpster and go about your business along the sidelines with genuinely interesting friends. I went to the Chet Parlavecchio school of charm. Sorry about that.
