Oh well if Bo Schembechler thought Paterno was an ok guy, then there ya have it. Unreal how much moral validity some folks will assign to their legendary football coaches.
Not trying to come off like an ass to our Meeechigan visitor. I just happen to believe Schembechler's opinion of Paterno has exactly zero relevance to what may have actually been going on at Penn State.
Now all the Ped staters will finally see the the true story and coverup.
I'm hoping that the documents to be released will clarify for once and for all what transpired between Paterno and Sandusky back in 1998 that led to Sandusky deciding to resign his position at the point when he seemed to be at the top of his career + heir apparent to Paterno as PSU's next head football coach. The official line was that he left to run that charity, but I've had difficulty believing that since major sports figures are more likely to lend support to a charity but not take responsibility for its day-to-day operations. Hopefully the documents will prove whether or not Paterno knew of Sandusky's tendencies at that point and, if so, if they are what led to his departure from the coaching staff.
WTF makes you think he's in heaven :chairshot:Joe just crapped his pants in Heaven
Joe's in a different place.Joe just crapped his pants in Heaven

Yep. Greg Schiano also had a high opinion of Paterno from when he worked at PSU. Who cares.
And even though a lot of Rutgers' fans have a lot of respect for Schiano, expect Schiano to be lambasted here if it turns out he knew anything about Sandusky.
Prediction: no matter what is in those reports, Ped fans will attempt to twist it in an attempt to make Paterno look better. It won't matter what is in those reports.
My understanding is they are only releasing the $$ award to each victim. So if the '71 victim was awarded 5ish million I'll concede Paterno was likely aware and failed in his obligation to do the right thing but if the victim was awarded 1ish million or less then you'll concede the payout was likely based on avoiding the cost of litigation and not an admission of guilt. Is that fair?
well on average they paid out 2.875 million so i think its pretty obvious this wasn't just about avoiding cost of litigation.My understanding is they are only releasing the $$ award to each victim.

No. I'm not about to make a wager on what an assault victim thinks is an acceptable award as a result of enduring that abuse. That's extraordinarily presumptuous.

You know we don't play them until mid November right?Carry on and wake me up the week before we play them.
I could use the beauty sleep. Still won't be enough though.You know we don't play them until mid November right?
We'll send Prince Screw in November, make sure you keep your lips nice and moist.I could use the beauty sleep. Still won't be enough though.
I feel like it would be wiser not to ask but what's Prince Screw and why do my lips need to be nice and moist?We'll send Prince Screw in November, make sure you keep your lips nice and moist.

You kiss your mother with a mouth like that??!? How dare you? Schembechler was a god amongst men. Here you have one god validating another god. Some nerve you mortals have.I just happen to believe Schembechler's opinion of Paterno has exactly zero relevance to what may have actually been going on at Penn State.
…No Jason, it's the complaints and how the school and Paterno handled them, not the amount paid out to keep someone quiet about what happened...
