What a mess–but at least the administration is acting. Joe Paterno certainly brought PSU out of the cow pasture and into the big time of college football– but like all powerful football coaches the law or university administration could not reign him in–sorta like Woody at Ohio State who self immolated against Clemson by punching a Clemson player on the sideline on national TV then knocking a TV tower down.

OSU wisely got rid of the too big to fail coach.

The PSU situation is different–they at all costs needed to hush this up and Paterno had to be the leader–just retire the guy and continue the cover.

Comes out everyone knew all about this inside the football program and throughout the town–just wink wink–JoPa would handle it.

Well JoPa finally got his just reward– he traded his integrity for child abuse–just too bad he is 84 and just about senile that he really doesn’t understand what he did now.

Not only that but his whole staff knew about this sordid mess–so they should have no future anywhere in college football.

In a previous post I gave a pass to McQueary who witnessed the rape and ran to call his father, then Paterno when he should have stopped the rape going on–he was no teenager but 28 and quite a big man–should have beat the crap out of the pervert.

Now the final question–Paterno living in college provided house right on campus–kick his sorry ass out. Wonder what else JoPa did thru the years cutting corners.

Maryland Week

I, for one, would not have fired Ralph Fridgen as head coach of Maryland–he did pretty well at a school that will never be top tier and he is a grad.

So they hire Randy Edsall(my pick for the ND job) who will just use this as a stepping stone for a bigger job.

Make no mistake Edsall is a good coach and I do not think this will be a walk in the park for ND. Consider 3 games Maryland played this year:

Miami W 32–24
West Virginia L 37–31
Clemson L 56–45

Clemson had to come from behind to win. So this is a classic trap game and if ND starts slow look out for this team can score points.

Still don’t know what to make of the QB deal at ND–with Rees we are surrendering roughly half the field since the long ball not there.

Get Gunner Kiel–should be top priority.

Injuries pile up:
Cave out for the year.
Riddick out with hamstring–replaced by Toma.
Teo and Lynch–ankles?
E. Johnson–ankle?

Next topic Penn State:

Paterno out at end of the year–he’s been there for 50 yrs and is winningest coach at over 400 wins although about half of the wins against
the Youngstown States of the football world.

State College is a small town and like all small towns hard to keep a secret and even harder in the Sports Dept. They must have known Sandusky a pervert yet he still has an office on campus.
I can understand the Grad Asst McQueary not knowing what to do-his word against the Defensive Co-ordinator but I am appalled about Paterno and the rest of the administration. This is child abuse which is a crime. Sandusky should have been banned from the school and the police notified immediately–coverup and Paterno had to have been involved.
