John Surma was going to tell Joe Paterno THREE things. What were the other two???

[The Spin Meister]

IIRC, young Vic Surma didn’t die until several years after the Sandusky scandal. But he had been on the football team and either left or was kicked off. Seems he had personal issues....rumored to be drug abuse......and both adult Surmas accused Joe of not helping the kid enough. Even though the Surmas had strongly praised Joe earlier John later said Joe was a fraud and John would expose him as such.

Surma is a piece of not even human waste product.

I didn’t realize John Surma’s brother died. Found his name “in memoriam “ in the Penn Stater

Not called for.... Zeno is being a very compassionate HUMAN respecting the families loss. I posted this because I was reading the obits in the Penn Stater and saw Surmas’ brother had died.

I, Zeno and most members on this board know the history of John Surma and his nephew Victor.

It was just a wisecrack.
What’s the history? Was it enough to justify the family’s vendetta against Joe?

Didn't young Vic live with Sandusky for a while?
