OK, I'll bite...<SOAPBOX>
Be Creative there is plenty of other things about Penn State that Suck.
Lighten up Francis<SOAPBOX>
I swear .... If I see ANYONE wearing or displaying anything (Tshirt, button,, Flag, poster )about Child Rape and in reference to the Penn State Sandusky Scandal I will literally rip it off your body, from your hands, or from your flagpole.
There is a difference between speaking your mind on a message board or with friends, and embarrassing your school and fanbase by doing stupid shit like this in a public setting on game day with media present.
I have no problem with coming up with a Shirt for the Game, but you would think people would have learned for 2 years ago and the fallout from it.
I do NOT want to be that guy that has to travel around to other schools for road games an be apologetic for idiots.
STOP...... We are better than that.... Be Creative there is plenty of other things about Penn State that Suck.

From the RT and someone on the Fan Advisory Board . (I know I'm not supposed to share stuff but this seemed like something important to share):
One thing also discussed was Hobbs plans to implement a "fan code of conduct". It sounds like he is serious about tossing unruly fans/tailgates and ones who bring dishonor on Rutgers. Sounds like a Pedd State flag will get you tossed this year.
Lol if I have a joe knew shirt on I'm pretty sure you aren't ripping it off me. Take it easy fella.

I'm not surprised that in the PC culture we live in it will be illegal to point out the crimes that the famous have committed. Sounds like Hobbs will be voting for Clinton.
I think that "joepa knew" or "Joe knew" would make for a good shirt.
T Shirt - ?
How about a banner from an airplane saying something like..
They All Knew
Don't worry sPitt-head you'll get your beat down on 9/10!!
All due respect, I think you're missing the point here. The posts are not meant to reiterate the horrible acts that were committed or to make light of them. IMO the posts are more directed at the PSU officials and community that cannot accept and admit what happened, despite the evidence, testimonies, etc. If the PSU community admitted a long time ago that the acts were despicable, some of our people knew or should have known about it, and shut the hell up about the statue, this story would have gone away a long time ago. But they can't, which shows the world that JP's legacy is more important than the victims. It took an insurance company fighting these settlement claims for much of the testimony to come to light - how screwed up is that?I should Clarify my remarks. I obviously am purposely exaggerating considerably when I mention how i will handle people wearing certain items, What I am not exaggerating about however is the need for our fan base to act like civilized human beings.
I was taught growing up Give Respect get respect, and stuff like this is disrespectful. Especially to a vast majority of a fanbase who comprehends what happened and is trying to move on and heal, as opposed to the small faction of fans who refuse to move on.
If you can't see that acceptance of this type of behaviour makes you our version of that small faction of the fanbase that is the embarrassment than you need to wake up.
I am all for playful banter, but when someone goes that extra step which our fanbase HAS done on several occasions it is up to us to police ourselves that is what my Post above was for.
It is not appropriate to be wearing or using the Sandusky Scandal as catalyst for a joke, IT IS NOT A JOKING MATTER, especially in a family atmosphere where their are numerous children present.
I would NOT want to be that person who has to explain to a kid what rape let alone Child Rape means.
I don't care about debating who knew what and if Penn State got off easy threads that is debate, but Use Common Sense when posting stuff like this because there are some who just assume that this is acceptable behavior and show up to the games with this stuff embarrass not only themselves, but the University and fanbase as a whole.
IMO this post should be deleted and the Moderators should be thinking in this instance more about what the university would think about a thread like this representing ALL Rutgers fans.

Where did you get this image bean counter? Perfect shirt and not overly offensive.
