Most if not all of us have experienced our share of abuse since 2011, online and perhaps even in person. We've seen many people take great joy in sandusky's alleged bad acts and how they affected Penn State. Assholes.
Looking at the sick shit that has gone on at um, Tosu, msu, iowa, etc., real scandals involving university officials and athletic departments mind you, I got to thinking of the rain of shit I received on another message board back in 2011 and 2012, and occasionally in the years since. The message board covers many topics, college football being one. Everyone there knew I was a Penn Stater who loved JoePa and Success With Honor.
Back in 2011 and into 2012, everyone discussing college football on that site ate up the media false narrative on Joe and Penn State. They attacked me constantly. These were athletic supporters of scandal-ridden schools like bama, auburn, and Tosu. There were a few um and msu athletic supporters too.
One Tosu athletic supporter changed his avatar to the now-famous press photo of Joe with sandusky. He had this avatar for two weeks until a moderator made him change it. During the 2012 season, one prick changed his avatar week to week to whichever team Penn State was playing. They said the nastiest things about Joe, Penn State, and me. I argued the facts with them for a time, then I just gave up. Like trolls we've seen here, they didn't care about or want to know the truth. They didn't care about the alleged victims. They just wanted to see Penn State burn down to the ground. They were jealous of Joe and Penn State's success and were filled with hate as a result.
Another example. After um beat Penn State badly in 2016, a um athletic supporter on that site went out of his way to talk down Penn State. He went on and on about how far Penn State had fallen and how they might never recover. He framed it like it was a shame and that it was unfortunate for Penn Staters, but it was obvious he was taking great pleasure in Penn State's challenges. At the same time, he talked up how um was soaring under hairball. Of course, we saw how the 2016 season ended. We've also seen how Penn State has become far more competitive against um in recent years.
I admit that I take great pleasure in the notion that these pricks on that site are all eating honking shit sammiches. That Tosu prick with the Joe-sandusky avatar now knows what strauss did and who turned a blind eye to him, not to mention that they had the additional scandal with urban the liar and many others. Then there's that um asshole who is most likely trying to rationalize that handerson couldn't have done all those bad things and that bo couldn't have looked the other way. Many others there are in the same shit-sammich-eating boat.
F*ck them all. JoePa was the best ever. Success With Honor. 409. The Grand Experiment. We Are!
