Just think...Penn State's 11-1 2005 season was all built upon the altar of staving off scandal...same is true of its almost 80 wins since this all broke in early 2002.

Now you're getting hysterical again. Those games were won by talented, hard-working football players aged 18 - 22 who took the field knowing absolutely nothing about Sandusky. Don't try to bring those kids down, too. Sheesh.

You missed his point. How many of those good kids would have come to PSU if they had known that Joe was allowing Sandusky to rape little boys in the PSU football shower room?

Knew nothing? Even the janitors knew. The GJ report said they were too afraid to report Sandusky.

You're missing the point. I don't begrudge these players' hard work. You've already agreed in a couple of posts that this will be devastating to the Penn State recruitment program.

All I'm saying is had this scandal broke in '02 or '03 -- vs. '11 -- that it's likely a few those players who contributed to the '05 season would "hard-working" in showing their talents for a team other than the Lyin's.
