Burn Penn State to the ground. Salt the earth. Dig up Joe and burn HIM.
This is the weekend where you can say anything about Penn State and it won't bother me.
But do me two favors. Watch the documentary (or at least the promo) linked, and donate to Thon - OR YOUR local pediatric cancer charity.
Since 1977, THON has donated over $89 Million to it's sole beneficiary - the Four Diamonds Fund/Hershey Medical Center. Over 96% of the take actually goes For The Kids.
It is the largest student run philanthropy in the world.

3.5 hour wait to get in the building at this point. Too bad we can’t do this for men’s basketball!

The THON kid in the documentary (I should add - award winning documentary) Bryce - you see him right at the start - was emceeing tonight’s sports teams/clubs and their skits. I didn’t catch if he was cancer free, but he sure seems on the mend.

Wow....reports of people being in line at 5AM this morning only to be turned away.
Totals announced at 4PM. Should be amazing.

Down to the final four hours. Crunch Time. All donations now go towards 2014. Time to start counting all the money and to get ready for Go Go Gadjet - Thon's adopted "house band":
Here's Gadjet from last year:
