OK...fair enough. But, it sure does not look good for him. I have very dear friends here in Maryland who are a HUGE PSU family (they were there two weeks ago) and are devastated by this. I have no Schadenfreude in this (even though we are a U Mich family), but I am also a pediatrician and am totally disgusted beyond belief by this whole sorry affair.

And, JoePa's statement today was pathetic. Sorry.

ESPN is reporting that TOM RIDGE, Former Pa Republican Gov, and Secretary of Homeland Security under Bush, will be maned as the new President of Pedo State.

He is a Pro-Choice Repub, but he has a chance, (And a MANDATE), to walk in to Happy Valley and completely clean out that nest of criminals, and Socialists.

I happen to be a Penn State graduate (’75) and I suppose I do have some skin in the game as far as Paterno and the institution are concerned. ..Not as far as employment opportunities or anything like that - - I have my own business - - but because... well, just because I’m a PSU graduate.

The damage done by that homosexual pedophile rapist Sandusky cannot be overrstated. I just double-checked my FR homepage to make sure there was no reference to being a Penn State graduate and then I wondered, what about all the graduating seniors who have to put “Penn State” on their resumes?

Yikes. If people think an employer won’t grimace just a little when seeing “Penn State” on a resume and hire instead the other, equally qualified, college graduate from some other college, they are deluding themselves.

And what top-flight recruit will want to play football (or any other sport) at Penn State... walk into the showers where the rapes took place? How many high school kids (and their parents) are suddenly going to look elsewhere for a college because the name “Penn State” has been transformed to “Pedo State” and they don’t feel like being the brunt of jokes for the rest of their lives? The damage Sandusky and his enablers have done to the university cannot be overstated. It is complete devastation.

That institution, my college, Penn State, has just been knocked for one hell of a loop. The only conceivable remedy as far as I’m concerned is for EVERYBODY to go, beginning with Spanier and Paterno, and all the way down until you hit the mid-level folks. A TOTAL housecleaning is required if there is to ever be the start of a healing process at that place. Meanwhile, I will be wearing my kids’ Temple sweatshirts.
