Aha! So I was right after allI have no idea what you are talking about, but then I am not very smart. Can we just leave it that it was Vic Jr.?
You mean this "Seth"? - hit the link:
Yes, we should really respect the "opinion" of a corrupt, lying, zero-principles, zero-ethics, lawyer "Public Prosecutor" (accountable to the public) who promotes tyranny in his own district in contravention of both the PA and Federal Constitutions - I don't think so!
Please tell me you were at least smart enough to negotiate more pay.
Fair enough...so why didn't they make an announcement when they realized they screwed up the JVP decision and a light note of support for Curley and Schultz and Spanier?
I value accuracy over civility.
Sorry. (Well, really, not sorry, but it seemed like the nice thing to say
Yea, using homophobic slurs like "cocksuckers" really shows how concerned you are about accuracy. And it's more about human decency than civility when you use terms like that.
(OK, Corbutt got his butt kicked and the state elected an incompetent Gov and AG). Nice job.
I'd say they got rid of an incompetent and corrupt Gov and AG.
You are a light weight when it comes to this saga. Vic Sr.'s 180 on JVP and subsequent rants about the "rat" have been documented and resulted in rebuke by FB Lettermen. Little brother was fond of asking why JVP was still around. Little brother tried to demonstrate that he had a big organ and took control in a situation where, by conscience, he should have recused himself.
At least little brother is consistent and played the role of "Typhoid Mary" at US Steel as well. So, if you wish to portray "Little Brother" as acting in the best interest of PSU, I'm not drinking the Kool Aid.
Really Mr. Public Disgrace? (Disgrace in Philadelphia: District Attorney gives lying cop feather-duster slap on wrist). "Crazy talk", eh? You corrupt, cowardly, wuss lawyers living off the public's dime (and then stealing from them on top of it with all your corruption) getting nervous? Funny, but according to THIS SOURCE, it's anything but "crazy talk" - it's the truth of the matter! See excerpts below:
The untold story, though, is about bare-knuckle Pennsylvania politics, old grudges and perceived slights. It involves a stagnated child sexual abuse investigation that, to some, took a backseat to higher-profile cases and a gubernatorial campaign. It involves a head football coach who knew too little and, still, failed to do enough. It includes a passive school board of trustees that for months ignored a lurking controversy and then, under pressure to preserve Penn State's reputation, quickly fired its legendary coach without ever talking with him.
Through it all, the central character was Corbett. "Something not very good happened," he told reporters on Nov. 9, hours before he urged his fellow trustees to fire Paterno. "We have to take the bull by the horns and fix it. Quickly." Publicly, Corbett made it clear that he thought he was the most qualified person to fix Penn State.
A 62-year-old Republican, Corbett is a blunt-spoken former prosecutor whose political career has been built pursuing powerful people who, he has said, "believe they are beyond the law." And his role in the Penn State scandal, fraught with potential conflicts, placed him in a remarkable position. As Pennsylvania's attorney general, he investigated Sandusky for nearly two years but failed to make an arrest. But then, as governor, he blamed the university's leaders for not doing more. One was Paterno, who some board members believed wielded too much power. The other was university president Graham B. Spanier, a 16-year veteran and Corbett rival who had become a vocal opponent of the governor's efforts to slash higher education funding.
To some, Corbett relished the opportunity and had even planned to play a role in managing the crisis. Eight days before the Sandusky grand jury presentment was released this past November, Corbett's staff booked hotel rooms in State College. Becoming governor had made Corbett a trustee, and he had decided to attend his first board meeting, after missing the first four. During those days of crisis in State College, he lobbied for the ouster of Paterno and Spanier, ending with that conference call on Nov. 9. And when he was on campus the next day, after Spanier's resignation and Paterno's firing, he celebrated the leadership changes. "Throughout this whole process, I felt he had some ulterior motive," a trustee says of Corbett. "Most trustees felt uncomfortable with his role. It was odd for him to be there and participate the way he did. Very odd."

I found this excerpt relative to Corrupt Corbutt's ever shifting position AFTER he realized that his actions were received significantly different by the general public than he anticipated (and he was in deep political trouble over the matter) to be quite interesting and telling:
I agree with you about their miscalculations regarding the "move on" strategy, but not the rest. I believe a business decision was made that accounted for the sanctions and the fines. The sanctions told the world that not just some largely faceless administrators and academics knew, but the great Joe Paterno did too! Now Emmert may have gone further than they had agreed, but I believe the sanctions were deemed necessary to sell the narrative.
Furthermore, I believe that the BOT had/has every intention of rehabilitating Joe's legacy at the time of their choosing. It's worth too much money to PSU. Finally, I believe that they blame us for that not having happened yet. I hope they don't get to take credit. What the did was cowardly and unconscionable! The real question is what was worth that much money?

So it appears then that you might consider that the vast majority of Penn State alumni have in fact moved on in spite of indynittany's assertion to the contrary.
At least you are honest and agree that the vast majority have in fact moved on.
There are 28,000 plus alumni in Allegheny County and a total of 52,000 plus in Allegheny and immediately adjacent counties. Based upon the attendance it appears that the vast majority of alumni may have in fact moved on.
And yet that must be 25 people that have you terrified......because you are still here.

Thank you. And yep he's a crude, vulgar, and profane individual who resorts to vulgar name calling and posting juvenile and profane pictures when he's losing an argument. And imagine someone like this teaching your kids! Not only was he a PSU adjunct instructor, but according to some of his students, one who failed to provide all the class time he was being paid to provide. Sad!

Big difference in moving on and attending an event in Pittsburgh. I know many who have not moved on and did not attend Franco's event
Yep....look at how upset the class was - - - look at those reviews from the entire class, they must be brimming with disappointed students.
Wouldn't it be AWFUL if your kids had instructors like THIS for all of their classes.

Professor Fenchak
Going to every class
Barry made the class fun. He made sitting through a 3 hour class possible.
The fact of having weekly assignments
Professor was an awesome guy.
Going to class. Reading the class notes
The powerpoints
The instructor is amazing, and would recommend him to anyone. He does not waste time teaching material that he believes is unneeded or impractical. The assignments were very helpful in learning the material, and the professor was readily available via email to answer questions regarding the material.
The assignments and reviews of them really helped. Barry is a great professor. He is smart and more that willing to help his students out.
Homework
ppt
Professor Fenchak related each lesson to a real-life situation, which really helped me better understand the content.
Open 2 What changes would improve your learning?
None
N/A
Make the homework's less tough.
Nothing
Spreading the class in three sessions instead of having one huge 3 hour class
Wouldn't make any
Maybe more course work... I am sure other students would not want it but the extra grades and especially the extra practice would help.
no
I would not change anything, the class was excellent and very educational.
Maybe having quizzes
Unrestricted Items
What did you like most about this course?
Open note tests and Professor Fenchak's humor
The real life examples used to make connections
The format of it.
How laid back the professor made the class. He made me feel comfortable coming out for the night class even when I may not have needed to. I always got something out of the lecture.
The professor. Barry is the absolute best!
I liked the professor, he was very down to earth and not hard to follow. He made it seem like our education was all that he was concerned with, rather than bell curves on exams or grades.
class is fun
Its practical use
What suggestions can you offer for improving this course?
Continue offering it the way Professor Fenchak does
Needs to answer emails. Did not respond to 3 out of 4 that I sent throughout semester. Other than that, great guy with a great attitude towards teaching. Also very funny
None
None
no
Spread the class into 3 different lectures

Now, Zippy boy, one o' the things you got to learn - especially for a fella what lies as much as you do.........don't lie about shit that is so easy to disprove.
Now, that thar' high-falootin' BS you's been espousing upon yourself for so many years - aeroplanes and hob-nobbin w' the rich and famous - the fellers got together with the help o' that interwebs machine and clean kicked you in the nutz all the way ta' next Tuesday.....and you still ain't learned.
Now, don't go crawling back in your hole - what's the fun in that? - but maybe you oughta' protect your testiculars a bit more......unless you enjoy that feeling?
Do you like them nut-kickings you been getting'?
Is that it Jimmy Zippy? You like a good nut-kicking now and then?

It's not 'crazy' it's a FACT. All of them were in on it and quite open about it
Considering you're one of the few who still believes Freeh even though he has stated his report is bogus, we can understand why you would choose to ignore all the PSU sponsored surveys that show, even with the most generous of question phrasing, that what you claim is incorrect.

The German Workers Party had seven members when Hitler joined it. Follow?
Good lord.
Clearly you never took a statistics class at Penn State if you think that is any kind of valid measure of what the majority of Penn State alumni think.
I am not nearly pretentious enough to engage in "prose".........I just write stuff.
