It is confirmed on FSSW.

Make your choice.

I hate one-issue voters. Instead of voting FOR a guy that agrees with them on 98% of the issues, they'd rather sit at home and pout while a guy who agrees with them on 10% of the issues walks in without a fight. Stupid.

He said "went" to a bowl game.

Bowl eligibility is on the line. Don't know what else you can do to get students motivated. The bigger question is: how do we get Denton residents to come out to fill the rest of the stadium?

It seems every day is Roger Franklin Day on GoMeanGreen.com, what with the constant Airing of Grievances. So who won the Feats of Strength?

Wikipedia says 600+"system-wide", but in any case...

3175 That's 4 1/2 times total enrollment for St. Gregory's

The Board has an obligation to serve the best interests of the University. And the Joe Paterno situation was quickly snowballing out of control causing a lot of damage to the University's image. Paterno had to go, sad as it is.

Forum Nazi.

For some reason, people always underestimate our basketball attendance.

3,843 I'd say it was 60% students.

McQuery should be fired as well.

It's done.

And now... Bill Keane, the man who brought us "Family Circus"

As Coffe and Tea pointed out, none of us can say with 100% certainty what we would have done in that situation when we hear secondhand information. A graduate assistant comes and tells you he saw your best friend sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy. I imagine the reaction to this would be first shock, then doubt and denial. Then you wonder how you should respond. Go to the police? Confront your friend? Report him to your boss? Let's keep in mind that once a person is accused of these things, even if exonerated it never, NEVER goes away. Maybe JoePa thought the best course was to keep it within the university until evidence came forward? Maybe he thought there must have been a misunderstanding? I don't know. Lots of blame to go around. At the university and law enforcement, who apparently took their own sweet time investigating and obtaining an indictment.

A playoff would take care of all of this. Then I wouldn't give a hoot if we were SBC, CUSA, or SEC. Win your conference and you have a shot at the ultimate prize. You don't see basketball driving all this crap.

This is just Paterno announcing what HE wants to happen. The Board of Regents are meeting. He may still be fired if he doesn't step down immediately. This man had a great career, and stood for what was great in college football. A squeaky clean image will be tarnished because he made a very bad decision. What his motives were in the way he "reported" his pal, be it protecting the program, the school, his friend (or all of the above) really doesn't matter. It's a sad ending to an era, but not as sad as what Sandusky did.

And Ed Pauls.

"who is going to believe me if I tell anyone?" I understand that point of view. There isn't a jury in Pennsylvania that would convict Paterno of jaywalking, and most of his staff probably has a similar untouchable aura around them.

Last season of his contract, yes. But if he wanted to coach for another 10 years they would have let him.

This is the biggest story in college football of the last decade.
