A last-ditch drive ends in disappointment for Penn State, which loses to Nebraska, 17-14. Not having any timeouts crippled the offense, which completed two passes short of a first down, including one with seconds left, but couldn't stop the clock.
This is a different Saturday in State College. Immediately after McGloin's final pass fell incomplete, the Penn State crowd cheered the team's effort: the cheering grew to a roar as the two teams again met a midfield, such as they did right before the game.
Again, as occurred several times during the game, there were chants of "We love JoePa." Interviewed after the game, interim coach Tom Bradley said that what Penn State has gone through over the last week is "unprecedented in the history of college sports."

Sandusky was still recruiting... was he still coaching?
The FAGGOT LOVIN’ Penn State “President” CAME from NEBRASKA!
Yep.
Exactly! This isn’t a typical scandal!!! This is about the rape and abuse of children!! Who cares what Penn state has gone through!!! This is about innocent boys having everything taken from them! This is what matters! Not their precious pathetic football program!
One of the schools administrators (may have been the interim president) when asked by ESPN if PedState should accept a bowl bid if offered said yes, this is not the fault of the current players.
I have been in dozens of arguements with people since I won’t listen to Dixie chick type entertainers...music or movies (I don’t do TV at all). Most common question...”Well...what do you watch/listen to then?”
There’s a world of music out there in any style imaginable that does not have idiot mouthy libs attached to it. Sure they MAY BE idiot libs, but they are smart enough to shut up and sing. Entire genres of it. Same for movie/video stuff.
AMAZING the hours one can spend on You Tube finding all manner of interesting things that do not include the lib agenda.
The occupiers aren't as structured a cult as these folks are.
>> It would be far more honorable of him to participate openly
Agreed.
Raised in ILLINOIS (CHICAGO-area), BA and MA from IOWA STATE, Ph.D. from NORTHWESTERN. Doesn't make the Big Ten or ISU look good, although I'm sure those institutions consider him a role model!
Has NCAA said anything on this issue?
Interesting how they bullied the Univ. of North Dakota into changing their nickname from “Fighting Sioux” by threatening sanctions.
So NCAA is upset with NAMES of some teams (even tho the Sioux Nation of ND WANTS UND to use their name), yet they say nothing about the conduct of the coaches, foundation, etc. in this issues?!?!?
It’s what happens when you become a Marxist. Penn State went hard left in the late 1960s—after I graduated (’65). I have gone from proud, to disappointed to ashamed of my school.
Every administration since Eric Walker has pushed Penn State further left. The entity somewhat disguising that trend was sports—especially football.
Respectfully, you should give a second look at the death of Logan Young. When a man is about to testify to save his own skin, and the man knows Bama inside out since the days he flew the Bear around in his personal plane . . .
And he's first a body found beaten beyond recognition in Young's home.
And three days later, the Memphis police (Memphis corruption ranks with Chicago, old Little Rock, and Huey Long Louisiana) report that he fell enough times against the bannister of his stairs to do the damage, then went from room to room to spread the blood, then went upstairs to die?
It's hard to find anybody who will talk to authorities about violations at Bama any more.
True, but Nebraska fans are exceptionally well-behaved and polite, and would never stoop to that level.
What really pissed me off is the announcements by the interim President of Penn State that talked about restoring honor, trust, and pride - - but didn’t say a word about the victims.
His arrogant concluding line was “We are Penn State!”.
Yeah. That’s the problem. Putting “Penn State” or any other institution ahead of the welfare of people, especially children, is the problem.
As for me, it's mostly Southern Gospel music -- groups like the Kingsmen, Happy Goodman Family, Florida Boys, Blackwoods... If you like your praise of the Lord with a twang, it's a great genre. The music is happy, uplifting, patriotic and, most of all, unabashedly Christian.
Any other Southern Gospel fans here in FReeperville?
Exactly and apparently even after all that has happened this week they STILL don't understand that.
Utterly disgusting. Shut down that program. I am disgusted beyond reason about this.
Yep!
If Joe had any class he would step forward, speak out and put an end to this nonsense - For the victims, for the college and to stop further insanity on the part of the nincompoops who make the school look even more ridiculous each time they speak.
He could (should) point out that on a galactic-scale-of-importance, winning college football games is so insignificant it cannot be seen, while the ongoing, serial homosexual raping of 10 year old boys and subsequent cover-up is like the sun burning the retinas out of your eyes.
The NCAA will never impose the death penalty on a Division I football program, not after it saw what it did to Southern Methodist. SMU never really recovered and took 25 years to get to an obscure bowl after 20 years of losing seasons.
And SMU wasn’t as big a cash cow as Penn State.
Think the NCAA will throw the switch again?
Maybe this will help them get the message - from a story up on Drudge:
“Moodys Investors Service said it may downgrade the credit ratings of Pennsylvania State University”
