How old do you have to be to moonlighting as "yathreadflopped" :sitdown:

The shyt I was reading had a picture of a lion, not a cougar. But all the other links show the cougar including the stuffed cougar that was considered the last in the area, 1856, Samuel Brush :francis:

Made me respect James Franklin even more. How he continues to get the level of athletes to go there is impressive.
:comeon: Penn St has always been a sleeping giant.

They have a 100,000 plus capacity stadium, super loyal fan base with money. It's like Texas A&M north

Joe Pa was living/coaching off name alone. Anyone they brought in with a pulse was gonna improve the program

You described Tennessee, Notre Dame, Michigan and none of them is recruiting like Franklin

A&M doesn't recruit like he's been doing.

Why would you waste brain space on a movie about a molester who was a predator? :hhh::hhh: disgusted
You mean an enabler of a molestor who was a predator. Unless there was new info Joe didnt touch the kids himself he just looked the other way

Movie was amazing in capturing the torture Joe pa probably went thru. You almost feel bad for him then you realize he had no fux to give about those kids...:scust:

Left a lot of hints of other cover ups too....:sas2:

Pacino is a genius though...
Yea the way I view it is i dont think joe pa supported pedophilia or anything but I think his desire to win made him not give a damn. Kinda like a pimp. Cared about that bottom line period. It’s bad, but ceo’s In all industries of the world make the same assessment. Oh our growing procedures are creating cancer...what’s the bottom line though? Oh our new plant is discriminating against local mainstays and causing bankruptcy? I’m sorry but are we profiting? It’s sad, but profit always seems to outweigh consequence. That said, I never really criticize a person for not being a whistle blower cause it’s a complex analysis. People have to pay to live in this society and some issues aren’t black and white. But Sandusky was expendable and paterno had direct power to terminate dude. Even if he wasn’t expendable we’re talking about kids. It was a horrific judgement call. Paterno should not be celebrated.

Exactly, he didn't want to touch it. Was all about the football.

That scene of him listening to the game in agony was :damn:

But that ending made me get :mindblown: all over again...

I understand and sympathize with Joe Paternos family and Al Pacino played him admirably. But as much as my friends over the years went to Penn State and I respected them as a football power, I can't help but twist in disgust by how much he ignored or let slide in the name of football.
