So ESPN is covering the game. Sorry that I am so ignorant, however, I always thought that it was referred to as Paternoville. ESPN reports it as Nittanyville. Thanks
Nittanyville or Paternoville
- Thread starter pointingdogsrule
- Start date
All part of the lynching process at the time.
Paternoville forever (no matter what those DBs call it!)!!
It changed because of the Sandusky crap. I actually think that Franklin has earned the right to have it named after him.
It's like calling the Sears Tower Willis Tower. The locals know the score. Rest of the world is clueless.
What about what the LBs think? How about the DEs or DTs? Maybe the QB calls it?
That was when it was organic. Now its regulated bullshit
The actual change took place in July 2012, shortly after the Fact Freeh Report was released.
Paternoville was named as such by a student in 2005. Students ran the organization which set the rules, guidelines, etc. for Paternoville. The student leadership of the organization decided to change the name to Nittanyville in July 2012.
The students can call it what they like. However, except in a paragraph like above where I'm describing what took place, I have never called it anything other than Paternoville. Perhaps I'll feel differently in 20 years, though I tend to doubt that.
FWIW, there was a large segment of the student population in 2012 which strongly disagreed with the decision of the leadership of the organization which ran Paternoville.
Paternoville forever. God forgive me, but I'll die hating Judas, Ira the Terrible, Vioxx Frazier, Karen with the Flies on Her, Spuds, Rodney the Lionfarted, Shit Breath Surma, One Term etc. and I do mean hate......
It will always be Paternoville to me. Just like it will always be the Skellar instead of whatever they’re calling it now.
I want a country named after me....I am thinking "Ro mania".
Our BoT followed the precedent set by the Kremlin in 1953 following the death of their leader, whom they wanted to forget. The process was called De-Stalinization. With people like Ken Frazier, Karen Peetz and John Surma in charge what would you expect.
Paternoville forever!
Paternoville forever!
I've heard that naming rights will be sold at a January, 2019 auction, right after the bowl game. Bidding starts at $35,000.
Am I kidding or am I prescient?

It should be Franklinville. He's the boss, they're there to see him put his men and their classmates out there to kick ass. When the next coach comes along, they can call it his name.
I don't think anybody would have argued that it's the problem with how the name was stripped. And we believe this just is to decisive bullshit.
It’s not a tradition started with or by Franklin. Change the name back to Paternoville.
Franklin is always innovating. There will be lots of things to name Franklin once it’s all said and done.

Paternoville still exists, even if it is just on the webz
always had the standing offer the students can have the Facebook page if they ever restore the name to its proper glory
and yes, there were some late night shenanigans that likely violated school club rules to remove "Paternoville".

The back parking lot behind Ollies in the old Hills Plaza is still called Triponeyville right?
Paternoville is where his statue currently resides. Let me know when you find it.
Paternoville forever, a bunch of kids can’t decide to change a tradition that was there before them. What’s next, shortening it to “we’re Penn State” because it’s easier to say?
Well we could surmise its location is in your head.
Some of these old farts can't let go of the past. Most of the kids now at PSU never heard of Paterno.
Except when they showed “Nittanyville” on espn several students had 409 or JoePa shirts on. Legends never die. Oh and his name is on the library.
