Need to ban Gameday from PSU campus

[psu00]

If they are not interested in engaging then it doesn't matter what you do.

I rememberJay engaging with a few ESPN shows in Bristol and yet here we are. They simply said 'interesting' to his face and then went back to 'I don't think so' literally the second after he left the microphone. Beside, wasn't the mantra a few minutes ago to stop talking about it and it will go away?

Let's not kid ourselves. They aren't interested in engaging so let's not pretend there will be some magical conversion if we just let them broadcast their silly show from campus.

In any event, we are just going to have to agree to disagree here.

It's a boost for recruiting. Being able to sell that your school is good enough to host gameday is a positive.

And how has not being on Gameday hurt our recruiting in the last five years? Some of you guys have battered spouse syndrome....maybe if we're really nice and do what we're supposed to do they will stop beating us. After all, it's our fault so if we're really really nice maybe they will take an afternoon off from beating the hell out of us.

I didn't say that not being on Gameday hurts, I said that being on Gameday helps.

That can't be proven...it's just an assumption.

Just like your assumption that the "narrative" is wrong. Prove it isn't.

Depends on the narrative you're talking about. If it's that Joe covered it up, that's pretty much been proven wrong already. If it's Joe didn't do enough, I would say the fact that what he did has become the standard for schools to follow, that's proof enough. The narrative that Joe was more concerned with wins than the welfare of kids, I would put 61 years of exemplary service up against that any day.

You know that the argument against Joe is a moral one, not a legal one.

Yes. I can well imagine. Bring up Sandusky four times, make up lies about the fans, make up lies about the coach, pick 4-0 against us, mock anybody who has a positive word. There comes a time when you have to pick your poison. We get enough of it without inviting it into the house to sit on the leather couch and drink our whiskey while they loot the joint for ratings.

Think she can make a formal complaint to Delaney regarding the constant badgering of the Sandusky incident trying to justify their pathetic reporting. There is no avenue to complain to the media short of going to war with the media and explaining what really went on, sanctions, Emmert, Freeh, BOT and of course Ericsson and demonstrate that their reporting is shallow. Probably should hire Slaton for that. I suspect there is malice in their reporting but that would be hard to prove. Banning Gameday probably would violate some clause in the ESPN-BIG contract but I'd be only guessing there.
