Paul Suhey

Oh boo hoo.
Paul Jr wanted to use an alumni event to promote his father's business.
And not just any alumni event, mind you, a football-related event.
So Paul Jr intended to promote a company owned by a guy who played a key role who played a role in destroying Paterno's reputation and nearly destroying Penn State football at a Penn State football-related event. Now there's some chutzpah.
Personally, I don't think Paul Jr should be held responsible for the sins of his father. But if he wants to promote his Judas Iscariot of a father's business at a Penn State event, he damn well ought to expect a backlash.

It's bizarre to me that one orthopedic surgeon on the BOT wants to sell peppers, and another one (Joyner) wanted to be an AD. Every busy orthopedic surgeon I work with makes 7 figures, and none of them want to sell peppers or quit for a desk job that pays a third that amount.
I am glad my board name bothers. I explained once before that I posted a few times before you, so if that bothers you so much, then you should change your handle.
Hate. You all need to wake up and realize that hate is not going to get to the truth. At this point, all you are trying to do is hurt people with your pitchforks. You tried to hurt Heim--and then he says he was told that there was a sex tape. Assuming he is telling the truth, wouldn't some of his actions seem more reasonable?
This is an extraordinarily complicated cluster you know what. As I said more innocent people are hurt every day. This board is trying to justify hurting a kid just because they want to hurt someone. NOT because it will accomplish anything. Sr. knows how you feel already so no surprise to him. However, now you hurt his son... what would your reaction be? Yeah--kneel to the holier than thou anonymous internet warriors. Leave kids out of this. Hell, even politicians agree on that.
Perhaps it is time for Mr. McAndrew to step in and take a stand in this thread. The hate mongering is out of control with no constructive purpose. Does he want this board to be part of the problem or part of the solution. Perhaps he should stop being coy about what he knows.
We still talking about a Pre-empted Pepper Peddling Program?
Oh.....the humanity!!!!
Really....Peter Piper?
Yep, HATE, that's part of what started this whole thing. HATE by folks such as Surma, Peetz, Frazier, Heim, Erickson and SUHEY. You're a joke. You and Bison keep liking each other. Won't matter. Truth is coming.
Yeah, hate. Apparently you believe that you might as well join the hate club as the only way to find the truth you want. Collateral damage be damned. You were innocent and you were hurt, so you might as well hurt somebody else just because.
Wake up people. This is what defines a Joebot! Someone who blindly follows the narrative that Joe was set up and will hurt and humiliate anybody who they suspect was part of the masterplan.
If you respect the ideals Joe espoused, you would not seek to hurt just to hurt. In this situation, no new message was sent. No pressure for truth was created. You just hurt a kid because you don't like his dad.
Look in the mirror people.
Hey, when Paul Sr. and his Pickled Peppers can suckle off of the football teat, there's no "culture problem". Oh wait, that's what the OG BOT has done forever...for a second I thought I was onto something.

Just to note, "lurkerlion" joined August 2011, and "BisonLion15" joined September 2011....interesting to say the least but then again, maybe just a coincidence before November 2011.
Couldn't agree with you more. Jr. and the whole Paul S. family must have huge stones to show up at a football ever shilling peppers from the people chiefly responsible for nearly ending the program and costing the University millions upon millions in hard currency and brand equity! Hint: Take the time instead to right your families' wrongs instead Jr.!! If you are hanging on the coattails of Sr. you are part of the problem and not...!!!
Well, perhaps the older Suhey didn't think his actions were hurting the family name. Just as Jr. might feel. Each is their own man and should be judged on their own actions.
Was is not pompous Paul Suhey Sr. who sarcastically commented,"all we did was fire him three weeks early?" All we did was disrupt a little pepper tasting event. Hardly any comparison here. I doubt Paul Jr. felt even a fraction of the heart ache his fathers actions caused and continue to cause Sue Paterno. The legacy trustees have the ability to put an end to all of this......release the Freeh work product, expose the truth and then everyone can "move on."
Someone told me leave the board because I only had one post. Another implied that I was a bot plant because I joined in 2011.
I actually had many posts but my count was reset when I decided to avoid the pointless arguments for awhile. I am not sure how the date I joined could be tied to the whole fiasco. The date doesn't match.
Hence, you guys just proved my point: you turn to bullying tactics when you find out you are wrong. Misplaced hate will backfire. Count on it.
Unfortunately, it's not. Paul Suhey Jr has been swept up by the mob. Frankly, I am dumbfounded by how many people not only condone, but actually applaud, the actions taken toward Suhey Jr. It's pretty damn sad that he is being forced to pay the price for his father's sins. That's not the way things are supposed to happen in this country and in this day and age. I'm embarrassed by what's been posted by a whole lot of people.
Oh....Good Lord. A pepper peddling postponement
The HORROR!!!!!!
You're missing the bigger picture. The cancellation was a mistake, but understandable. What's downright disheartening is the way that people continue to direct their wrath at Paul Suhey Jr for absolutely no good reason. He doesn't deserve it.
People should be standing up to the lynch mob attitude that has taken over here, not applauding it.
You know who put Jr. on the list of innocents hurt? His dad. You would think he would want to own up to his actions for the sake of his son, but apparently he doesn't love him enough to do that.
What are your thoughts on Paul Suhey Sr using the Penn State Alumni Association (through his son) to promote his business during a football viewing party?
Most of us have nothing against Paul Suhey, Jr., but most of us are also not particularly comfortable with the idea of Paul Suhey, Sr., continuing to "take" from the Penn State community after everything he's done to destroy it.
You're way off base on this one. If the chapter had properly conveyed it was Jr.and not Sr., but also correctly identified the company as belonging to Sr., the reaction would have been the same. If Jr. is going to represent his father, he should understand negative reactions are to be expected. If he had gone in only representing himself, and only himself, then you would have a point.
Honestly.....I just don't see it.
I mean, you'll always have a few folks on the extreme of anything....there is always a bell curve.
Quite frankly, even if we assume an absolutely WORST CASE scenario where you have some folks on a message board (hell, even if it was ALL the folks on a message board) being extremely "vitriolic"......who the f^ck cares?
What GD tangible impact does that have on PS Jr? A "lynch mob"? Really?
Quite frankly, I think 99% of any anger is - IMHO - properly directed at SP Sr........and I have ZERO problem with that.....F him as far as I am concerned.
Further, while I might not have a big. hairy problem with the fact that this Pepper Peddling Performance was actually for a firm that PS Sr is the owner of (or at least has an interest in).....the folks that DO take issue with that have a valid point. If that is indeed true (which, based on some stuff AOSHIRO posted appears to be the case) then PS Jr was proxy-ing - to some degree or another - for the Old Man. I don't gets my panties in a twist over it.....but it is a legitimate criticism.
Quite frankly, I think worrying about PS Jr's "unjust treatment".....given its impact.....ranks just below "why don't they use real sugar in Coca-Cola?" on my list of sh^t to worry about.
"I THOUGHT IT WAS REAL SUGAR!!!!"
Can you name (without Googling) the last 2 featured guests for whom the PSAA Houston Chapter has had official events?
Can you name any 2 from the last five years?
My birth father abandoned me so I always thought he must have been a terrible person. I met his six children from his second marriage and am friends with two now. They think he was a wonderful dad. Obli, your thoughts are muddled. Let Paul's son live his life. Resentment is a burden, not a relief.
In spite of what some here think, we are not the problem. We didn't create it, we didn't benefit from it, and we are not moving on from it. If Suhey Jr. is collateral damage because of the actions of his father, while trying to promote his father's business, it is in some ways regrettable but unavoidable. As all of our mothers told us, you're judged by the company you keep.
Repeat, we're not moving on. If my near namesake wants to portray us as the hateful ones, that doesn't make him any different than all of the rest of the BOT apologists.

It's almost encouraged on this board. Stuff like this invalidates the real issues, but that kerosene smells all so good.
Thanks Mary. Perhaps my post WAS unclear. First, I hold no ill thoughts of the jr Suhey. But in this case, he was a) exploiting the Suhey name and b) exploiting his PSU relations for leverage to make money. IMHO, if you are going to leverage the name and PSU, that name and your relationship with PSU are made "fair game."
If the Jr. Suhey wants to buy a McD franchise in Houston, no problem. But if he wants to open a Suhey Pickled Pepper store and use PSU foundations to promote it, he has opened himself up to fair criticism.
Just the way I feel. the jr. Suhey has enjoyed substantial perks and opportunities that others have not based upon his Suhey name. Its a knife that cuts both ways.
Anyone who is not willing to be personally accountable for his/her actions is part of the problem.
That extends to social media and message boards.
Like so many kerfuffles on this board, some of the more important points get lost in the tangential, misdirectional arguments.
We have people here who would like us to flog ourselves for dissing a strand of the Suhey family. This is truly ridiculous, given what we know of the internal disagreements in the Suhey family itself over all of this.
Let's go tangential off of that again, why don't we?

Obli hit the nail on the head here. Paul Jr. brought it on himself trying to leverage his name. Well his father has ruined the name. If Paul Jr was smart, he would publically denounce what his father has done and tell us what HE stands for. Then he can be his own man and not live in his father's shadow. Either that or Jr ought to disassociate with Penn State because his father has stolen from Penn State and its alumni and the State College community.
You are assuming Joe would know how to access this message board. He couldn't download peanut butter.
Paul Jr is not responsible for the actions of any poster on this board. Be accountable for yourself.
You are simply flat out wrong on this. Flat. Out. Wrong.
and this is why....

LOL..the saddest picture that I saw in this entire thing was PSU confiscating their equipment from Joe's house....a beige push-button telephone and a fax machine.
That is funny yet pathetic. The tools of the big "conspiracy master".LOL..the saddest picture that I saw in this entire thing was PSU confiscating their equipment from Joe's house....a beige push-button telephone and a fax machine.
Exactly. Jr. was touting Sr.'s wares. He should expect no less than derision and anger. Lar used to be a good poster. What happened?
