Nashville, if it were not for people like you, nits74 who posted right after you, and many others here, I would have walked away from Penn State and never looked back. You guys help me keep my sanity and what hope I have left that some day we will find the truth, see justice served, and have a renewed pride in Penn State.Originally posted by Nashville Lion:
Well said Fairgambit...but I am still in a family with many good folks like you.....don't forget that. We are....
Yes, he is.Originally posted by nits74:
Ditto for me fairgambit. And Nashville will help keep the sanity. One of the more level headed posters on the board.
I for one would love to see a "John Surma" appreciation day at The Beav......It might be cathartic. Well maybe not for Surma........Re: I really don't know if there is a Penn State "family" anymore. If there
Thank you gentlemen. I appreciate that a lot. To all the fine ladies and gentlemen on this board...you mean a lot to me. If it was not for this board my wife would have probably killed me through the whole scandal drama. Additionally, so many of you have prayed for my family and I over the years and trust me I have prayed for you guys too. It is hard to believe I have been posting on this board for more than a decade.
To the good people of Penn State who love the place like I do...I commend you. We are ever loyal to our school that we love so much. We are....
He wouldn't be in my family
John will always be welcome in the PS family. It's the haters who won't be.

LOLLllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!
Thanks for making my day. Surma is a turd.
I assume when CR66 says Surma will always be welcome in the PS family, he means the POS family to which they already belong
Yeah, the family members from the hills in "Deliverance" come to mind.
Some envision him on the lake in the boat in place of Fredo.He wouldn't be in my family
Is this the same John Surma who was fired after US Steel's stock price dropped 90% under his 'leadership'?
With highly paid executive leadership like that, who needs leadership. Greedy bastard sure feathered his own nest pretty damn well though. No wonder CR66 is such a fanboy.They're still reeling from his "leadership". 1400 to be laid off.
Surma is persona non grata at PSUHe wouldn't be in my family
I'm not sure he is welcome at U. S. Steel!
Well, they fired him and from June 6, 2008 to May 31, 2013, with Surma at the helm, US Steel's stock value plummeted by 89%. I can't imagine employees nor shareholders hold any inkling of love for the bum.
Johnny Boy joined the board of directors of a Texas oil company in 2014. The company is called Concho Resources (NYSE: CXO). They closed today at 123 and change. They have been flat for the last year, ever since you-know-who started to supply his expert leadership. I still have them as a short - it's just a matter of time till Johnny starts to work his magic.US steel peaked at $186.93 on June 23, 2008. By Mar 2, 2009 it hit a low of $17.69. about a year later they recovered to about $65.70. But by the time Surma was canned, it dipped back down to $17.35. Currently trading at $26.95.
