From my perspective PSU is a potential playoff team. Franklin has done a great job recruiting. As a human being, I hate the guy.
As far as the scandal is concerned, their administration, boosters, and many alumni have handled it as bad as you can handle something like this. What they should have done is apologize to the victims and their parents first. Then they needed to apologize to their alumni and students for embarrassing them too. They need to not publicly acknowledge Paterno. They need to throw Joe under the bus.
They need to be proud of their academic institution and their football program, minus Joe.
Umm that's kind of exactly what happened. They fired Joe, removed the statue and aside from his family name on the library (those funds were donated by Joe and Sue paterno and family, not just Joe) there is very little talk around happy valley nowadays about Joe Paterno. What PSU fans talk about is winning a NC this year, Saquon Barkley being the best RB any of us have ever seen and how Franklin is killing it on the recruiting trail.
See where the Sandusky thing comes into play is when loser fans from other programs constantly bring it up in an attempt to ease the pain of knowing they are about to be beat on the football field.
I absolutely guarentee that none of you who constantly bash PSU (you know who you are, the same ones that make the same comments literally any chance they get) could name a single sexual assault case involving a minor that has occurred in the US within the last 5 years, yet you sit back behind your computer screens acting like you have some moral hierarchy, that's total BS.
No what it really boils down to is jealousy and remorse that RU had its window. It was WIDE open to narrow the gap on psu, establish yourselves, keep a jersey recruits at home and overtake psu as a football program. It was there for the taking and your school completely dropped the ball.
Now that course has run its path and psu is back and better than ever with no signs of going backwards as a program, meanwhile you are on here cheering from the rafters when RU gets a recruit that also had an offer from BC and Syracuse claiming he was a P5 recruit.... you will never get over yourselves and will continue to spew the same crap over and over every year but I do have to ask... how pathetic will it sound when 15-20 years from now when RU still hasn't beat PSU since joining the Big 10 when the same people are still on here making the same excuses and Sandusky jokes... talk about little brother syndrome, sheesh!
