So they promote a guy who's been coaching alongside side JoePa for 33 years??? What the hell kind of sense does that make? Anyone on that coaching staff that was there during the Sandusky years should be canned now if they're going to drop the hammer on Joe now. Total failure continues from the PSU higher ups.

Good for them. There's still more house cleaning that needs to be done but it was important to at least off the head of the snake before the next game.

So, you cut off the hydra's head and expect it to not grow back? The guy they promoted coached with Joe at PSU for 33 years. Next week, the media will be digging into what he knew and drilling him with questions. They're not just dropping fuel on the fire, they're dropping barrels of dynamite. i think it was a bad move to do it now, but I'm probably in the minority...

Tom Bradley wasn't promoted. He's only been named the interim coach. I have no doubt that his entire staff will be shown the door after the season to avoid the chance anyone can be asked what they knew about Sandusky's crimes.

Promoted was the wrong word to use, I guess.

I hope every coach who was there during Sandusky's tenure is shown the door at the end of this year.

Me too. I never would have thought Joe Freakin' Paterno could leave a legacy at Penn State that required everything he left behind to be thrown out. Stunning news, but a well-deserved fate.

Exactly. They want to grandstand and fire JoPA when in the very next breath they admit they don't know all of the facts yet. If they want to go this route, then they need to go ahead and fire themselves too. The whole thing tonight has the stench of a PR move, not giving a damn about doing the right thing.

On another level of sorriness, I wouldn't be suprised if a few of them used this as an excuse to finally get rid of Paterno.

They will be. It wouldn't be fair to the innocent players to do so now with 3 games and a bowl left. Firing the legend that is Joe Pa speaks volumes in itself, the rest of the heads will roll when the games are over.

I find it impossible to believe the BOT wasn't aware of any of these incidents....

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.

So does that include turning a blind eye in 1998?

McWimpy should be next. He does absolutely nothing to stop a shower room rape of a child, yet he still gets to draw a nice six figure salary on the sidelines as WR coach against Nebraska this weekend. Hope they find a way to charge that self-serving butt kisser, and that he gets to witness a shower room rape of his own in the bathroom mirror. He waited too many years to deserve any sympathy.

---Likely all of the coaches will be released or at least the ones that have been there a while... Paterno was a gutless wonder and would not do what was right... If he had the kids that have been abused since he learned of it would not have been abused. That is the ultimate tragedy, Watching him on TV he seems clueless about what he just did..

---I once disliked him in his early years because of his constant complaining,(I am 60+) later I respected him because he didn't seem to "coddle' athletes and expected them to be students. This changes everything.. On TV it has appeared to me that he should have been gone a long time ago... it is not all about age BUT ... Bowden at FSU still seemed capable but J.P. has looked rather clueless for quite a while. I can't imagine anyone of character allowing this happen unless he was 'soft in the head". .

---The students (people) protesting at PSU need to think about what just happened to those kids and why it happened.... no action by those who knew...... gutless and no character.

      UNT Basketball Beats Oregon State, 58-55

      DENTON – Atin Wright hit a game-winning 3-pointer with seven seconds remaining as the UNT men’s basketball team defeated Oregon State 58-55 at the Super Pit on Monday night. Three North Texas (5-1) players finished with double-digit point totals as the Mean Green remained undefeated at home this season. Latrell Jossell finished with a season and game-high 15 points. Brenen Lorient scored a career-high 14 points, extending his streak of double-digit point games to three. UNT has now beaten two high-major teams this regular season — they defeated Minnesota 54-51 on Nov. 13. It’s the first time they’ve accomplished that since the 2010-11 season when they beat Texas Tech and LSU in the same year during the regular season. The Mean Green continued to be one of the most efficient defensive teams in the country, forcing 22 Beavers turnovers, UNT’s highest total since Nov. 26, 2020 when the Mean Green defeated Mississippi Valley State 116-62 at home. "Our ability to turn them over 22 times in a one-possession game was the separator," head coach Ross Hodge said. " That's a really good team that can really shoot. We talked about it in one of the [media timeouts] that we were going to really have to string together some of our best defensive possessions and I thought that group in the second half was really good." North Texas took a close 26-25 lead into the locker room at halftime. Oregon State (4-2) came out hot to begin the second half and held the lead until the 5:38 mark. 13 of the Beavers’ 22 turnovers came in the second half, ultimately leading to the Mean Green’s close victory. North Texas travels to Kissimmee, Fla. to take on Northern Iowa on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT for their first game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      The Band

      high school band director was a mistake. band has regressed. drumline is abysmal, no confidence, no arrogance, no true talent. last 2 years the drumline has been the worst since the 80s. need to drop that best damn band in the land and best drumline in college football....not even close to being true.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      We are starting to cut into the deficit created by the first game compared to last year. Now only down 8.72% in terms of average attendance. Last night was the highest game 4 attendance of the last four years, but to be honest, I was a little disappointed it was only 3,292 for a "name" opponent (yes, even during Thanksgiving week). November 25 was our earliest game 4, but a much stronger opponent. The previous 3 years it was 12/4 (LSU Shreveport), 12/3 (Omaha) and 12/2 (Miss Valley State) respectively. I mentioned this during the in-game thread, but the ESPN+ broadcast sounds like the commentators are off site in a soundproof room or something. Not hearing the crowd noise and the excitement in the arena really detracts from the game experience. Need a better audio production. I switched to the radio stream and it was much better from that perspective.

      Oregon State (11/25/24)

      Oh I agree with the philosophy in general, just not how it's being executed currently. baring quick foul trouble or a dumb mistake, I'd prefer to not make any changes until at least the first 4 min timeout. let your starters find some kind of rhythm in the game. I've noted numerous times already this season of a player knocking down a shot or two and/or making a few key plays and then getting sat...Jossell in the McNeese loss leaps to mind, I know its happened to Dello a few times as well. I'm gonna assume Hodge's rationale is that at least the first few subs are scripted and he's asking so much of his team on the defensive end that he wants to keep a sharper rotation, but it feels a little extreme to me right now and not always in tune with the flow of the game/a player's night we're not quite approach Benford-esque line-changes (though maybe only b/c Hodge doesn't have ten players he trusts), but it's bugging me just as much
