Conversely I'm encouraged that you elected to lead with the insult. Consistency is important.
Yeah, I should have rephrased that. I remember that there was some kind of candlelight vigil that took place.
On that vein, wasn't one of the Suhey boys in Fiji?
(Edit: never mind. Saw answer in another post.)
He was the Patriots' team dentist--while he was still playing as I recall....
That was in the days where there really was an off season.
Can anyone give us a breakdown of what, if any, the impact may be of these appointments. I am curious how many actual trustees this will provide PSU with. Not the ones who are part of the real conspiracy. Also, I can't help but wonder how Barron feels about 2 additional trustees that will be intent on "ruining the university."
Disappointing that it took 19 posts for the CR66 wanna be to inject her/his 2 cents. Besides wasn't Thrice the former coach of the Vikings.....or was that Twice?
Barry, is that another school fraternity ?
Yep.
You want the membership list....or do you think you can piece it together yourself?
It appears that Gov. Wolf is going to replace scoundrels with reasonable people as the scoundrels' terms expire. This is not exactly the most courageous approach. My recollection is that Dambly is a convicted felon and that he flat out lied to a TV reporter about whether he spent time in jail. Anyone that read Silvis' email exchange with a longtime PSU business professor was shown what a donkeyhole Paul is. For Wolf to not request resignations from these two is pretty cowardly and foolish.
Marshall.....it would take some time....and it would bore most people....but in response to your question:
Yes it helps.....but not as much as it would/should have.
To truly get an accurate picture, you have to look back a bit:
Back a year+ ago.....the Scoundrels were in "piss their pants" mode:
- As we all know, the Scoundrels have had a control majority of the BOT for quite some time
- As the control group, the Scoundrels have, and continue to, just do whatever the hell they want....with absolutely no accountability or concern for doing anything but using PSU to cover their own tracks
- At the time, there were 32 voting seats on the BOT. The Scoundrels - back in 2011 - essentially controlled them all....either directly, or by having B-List Wannabe Sheeple who did their bidding.
- Beginning in 2011, when Penn Staters eyes were opened a bit to just what was going on with the BOT, they became motivated and organized, and began the process of actually electing folks to the Alumni seats.....which eventually led to 9 "Non-Scoundrel" folks on the BOT
That now set the count at 23 Scoundrels.....9 Non-scoundrels
The determination was made that the obvious conflicts of interest involved should preclude the Governor and the University President seats from having a vote (still on the BOT, but as non-voting members)
So now the count was 21 Scoundrels.....9 Non-scoundrels
The Scoundrel breakdown was: 6 B&I, 6 Agric, 6 Corbett Appointees, and 3 Corbett Cabinet positions.
Once it became clear that Tommy was going to likely lose the Governor race (summer of 2014) the Scoundrels got scared to death.......
Once Tommy was out, if the new Governor placed non-scoundrels in the Cabinet posts, and to the Appointed posts....the Scoundrels risked losing those 9 Sheeple/Scoundrel positions.....and the potential new breakdown would be:
12 Scoundrel 9 Elected 9 Non-scoundrel Wolf controlled seats
What happened next?
The Scoundrels (led by their yapping lap-dog Dandrea, as controlled by Eckel, Frazier and others) put forward proposals to take the vote away from the Cabinet position folks, and reduce the number of elected seats.
The Scoundrels positioned this as a response to the "clear need to reduce the overly large number of BOT seats"....Thirty was, clearly, too large a number to be functional (or so they agreed at the time)
However, the Scoundrels were confronted with significant backlash.....from Alumni who opposed reducing the elected positions, and - shortly thereafter - by Governor-elect Wolf wrt the Cabinet positions.
The Scoundrels "re-tacked"....and now - AMAZINGLY - the size of the BOT wasn't a problem.....in fact, now the BOT size SHOULD BE INCREASED (enter blubbering Holly Gregory).
So, faced with losing their majority, the Scoundrels put forth "Reform Proposal A+".....which ADDED 6 more Scoundrel controlled sycophants to the BOT....these include the likes of Kay Salvino, Schuyler (the "UpYours State" scumbag), the Barron's Lap Dog student selection etc.
Thereby, the Scoundrels assured that they would remain in control.....even as their Tommy Corbett seats were taken away.
_________________________________________
As to the gist of your question....does this help? How much?
Now....as currently constituted....the BEST the non-scoundrels can hope to achieve is a 50/50 split:
(Out of 36 voting seats, 18 Non-scoundrels. 9 Elected, 6 Wolf Appointed, 3 Wolf Cabinet folks)
As the Wolf appointments filter in, and if the Scoundrels see those seats ALL going to non-scoundrels....you can bet the mortgage money there will be another "tweak" to the system....to add at least one more Scoundrel, or reduce (or take voting privileges from) at least of the Non-scoundrel controlled groups.
___________________________
So....does it help....absolutely!!!
Will it - in and of itself oust the prostituting power-bloc Cabal....no.
Will it force their hand to take even more outrageous actions to retain control....yes
In doing so....will it further infuriate more and more Penn Staters...and folks down in Harrisburg? One would hope so
Will that lead to some true meaningful reform that WILL oust the prostituting Scoundrels?....We have to hope so, and it certainly can't hurt....
But that...as always....WILL BE UP TO US. Will we stand up and demand accountability in numbers strong enough to get it done?

LOL I talk so damn much....I'm not sure what particular items that response is in relation too!!
I certainly won't ask you to elaborate.....because it would be stupid of me to want or expect you to address any of that stuff here (especially with the current Scoundrel arguments wrt the Freeh File access
)___________________________________
I will say WRT these two recent appointments....I most certainly am happy to see the Scoundrel numbers reduced by two (well, reduced by one, with another repositioned....but positives in any case)
I certainly look forward to every bit of positive action in this regard....and with the Yudichak bill, and the various lawsuits, and etc etc etc.

WRT the ongoing need to move forward with the fumigation of the PSU BOT.....brother, it's tough. And I really struggle to be able to understand Wolf's slow-go here from his end....even though I KNOW there is a whole lot of "stuff" I may not be privy to.
If he continues to use the "Arneson Situation" (which will go against him, but has never been more than tangentially, at best, related to this situation) as an excuse to not move forward on the Con-Man....I have to assume one of two things:
1 - It is just a smokescreen, and a "public excuse" as he works behind the scenes to get things done (ie, I just don't have privy to the info)
or
2 - Its BS.....and he either is just not making the PSU BOT situation a priority, or he doesn't care, or he is on the "wrong side".
I continue to hold out hope and expectations that he IS on the right side and will move forward properly.....but I can't assume or presume that .....I have to watch and see.

With regards to any bad situation, if we can't fix it on our own, we all have to choose to be either:
Patient.....or Complacent.....or Accepting - to the bad situation
I sure as hell ain't never going to be "Accepting".....and I doubt I will ever adopt the "Complacent" position.
But being patient isn't easy.....and if that is where I have to be, I suppose I will have to be patient.
But it certainly isn't going to be a quiet, meditative patience
(where's my Yoga instructor?). I will have to - I suppose - be patient like a hungry dog is, while waiting for an opportunity to get inside the butcher shop.
One of my roomies knew a Fiji when I was at PSU in the early-mid 80s. We got into the parties once in a awhile. We were all convinced you guys had a machine in the basement that manufactured hot girls specifically for your parties. They were all Playboy centerfold hot but you never ever saw these girls on campus ever, anywhere. So, we figured when the parties where done you must have just sent them back down into the basement and recycled them back into the machine you guys must have had and wait it out until it was time for the next party. Of course we were all engineers so we weren't likely to come across pretty girls on campus anyway....but you never ever saw these Fiji girls anywhere even walking for here to there or whatever.
When I was a freshman or sophomore I ran into a girl I knew from high school at one of the Fiji parties one night after one of the football games. She was one of the absolute most popular girls at our high school; pretty, captain of the cheerleading squad, student council prexy, dating the biggest star on the football team.....the whole bit. She spent the whole night tucked away in a corner chatting with a drunken engineer schlub like me all night. I guess she felt pretty outclassed by the Fiji ladies you guys brought up from the basement for the party. I used to spend those parties tucked away in a corner hiding because the football players who hung at those parties were freaking mammoth and they could get pretty rambunctious when they got their drink on. I was terrified of them and just wanted to stay out of their way. Good days.
Laslavic 73, Reihner's older brother John 75 [who was also on scholarship], Knechtal, 72 [awesome right guard] were also there. Good group, lot of talent and a great group of guys. And as you said earlier another large group across the street at Phi Delt.
Dambly was also one of the point men on 'moral failings' early in the process. I wonder if his fellow bot dirtbags knew he spent a week in jail before trotting him out. Truly priceless.
I'm copying and pasting my post from another thread. The reference to the gentlemen in question is bolded:
A few more Halloween Costume ideas:
the "Former Athletic Director":
the "CEO of Pennrose Properties":
the "Special Adviser to the PA Governor on Higher Education":
the "Former FBI Director & Handler":
Dambly's issues go FAR beyond his Assault conviction......or even lying about having any knowledge of his conviction and incarceration (while at the same time, retaining a lawyer to try to get the conviction records expunged)
Yes, his co-horts are (and were) aware of Dambly's resume (and the week in Prison was a pimple on an elephant's ass compared to the rest of his "achievements").....certainly that information was provided to them, anyway.
