It's time for the BoT hedging to end. No more the time isn't right, people will be upset, and their other excuses and plain bullsh-it. Honor Paterno properly and produce the statue.
Paterno exhibit
- Thread starter G3624
- Start date
Museum presence is a first, small step.
We will continue to wait for an acknowledgment of wrong doing and acceptance of accountability by the members of 11/9/11 home-grown terrorists PSU BOT.
There must be acknowledgement that they knew Joe did nothing wrong, yet they framed Joe to protect themselves- especially those who were also affiliated with The Second Mile.

Bendapudi isn't going to get off her fat bogasto and buck her masters, no matter how much good it would do Penn State.
People who support the BoT think that there's such a thing as a clean sh-it and that Elvis is still alive.
Mixed feelings on this. I would not have used the word "experience." Good grief. The Paterno Family Football Legacy Wing at Beaver Stadium or The Paterno Family Football Museum at Beaver Stadium.
Regardless of what they decided to call it, it is a bit of justice and peace for the Paterno family, as well as those who lived through those times. It strikes the right tone of not being too much, but at the same time saying "bleep off" to those who would troll over this. I like that it is contained within the stadium, so only PSU fans are really going to visit it. I doubt it gets much media attention by the end of this season. Nice opening transition to bigger things, if that's what the school and family want.
On the other hand, this will absolutely bring out the lunatics, the media folks looking for clicks, the internet trolls, and the uninformed. So much time has gone by, and yet very little has been done by anyone at PSU to really put a narrative out there that says "it's okay for penn state to highlight and connect with the Paterno name." I don't know that there is a big appetite within the PSU community to openly defend this; I assume most of us will just ignore the jokes and call it a day. It's also really bad timing with Sandusky getting back in the news recently.
As far as Franklin and Campbell, I could understand why Franklin would want nothing to do with this (even though I have no idea what he really thought about any of this). The guys Campbell is going to be recruiting in the next two or three years would have just been born when Paterno died; they don't even know who he is. Franklin coached too close in time to everything and had to deal with the negative recruiting from it. Makes sense that Campbell would have an easier time connecting to the past and the lettermen, he and his future football players are further removed from everything that happened. Can't rag on Franklin for any of that. It will only get easier for the guy after Campbell and the guy after him.

You really think not being born yet would stop an evildoer like Franklin?That’s preposterous. He was not even born yet.
But truly, Franklin avoided our past like the plague.
Why that's the very reason he kept asking for more money ... so he'd have enough to build a time machine and go back and wrong all the rights.
Are these the same insider sources that told you the MA Catholic Leagues were higher level comp than the NEPSAC squads?
Googy, how are simply complicated, complicated simply and perfect pitch doing?
Talk bad about Jimmy and out come the multiple handles for some
Notre Dame was excluded from playoff selection, not due to losses but a weak schedule with no wins vs top ranked teams. Both Ohio State and Oregon had 1 loss during the regular season. That loss was to the national champion.
This team has nothing to do with last year's PSU team. A new coaching staff and 25 handpicked veteran players from ISU. No excuses. PSU doesn't play the top 3 teams in the conference. It is likely every single team they play will have at least 3 losses.
Excellence at the highest level.
Yeah, but all the folks like you wanted Franklin fired before, during and after that season ... because it wasn't good enough.
I wasn’t one of those people. Also, while I said that after the events that transpired last season, it was time for both parties to part their ways, I’ve always said that he did a good to sometimes very good job.
However, he only had one playoff appearance from 2016, when the program finally stabilized, to 2024 and wouldn’t have had one in 2025, and several of those teams were good enough to make the playoffs. Also, he went 1-10 against OSU, which would’ve gone to 1-11 if he had coached in last year’s game. Meanwhile, Michigan beat OSU four consecutive times from 2021 to 2024, and Michigan’s 2024 team was mediocre. Finally, after the Oregon loss and the ridiculous UCLA and Northwestern games last season and the vitriol towards him, a lot of which was underserved, my guess is that he would’ve left PSU on his own accord after the season if he hadn’t been dismissed.

Yeah, all the P4 recruits in NEPSAC decided they wanted to play two-hand touch rather than get blasted by 5'10" 175lb. LBs in the Catholic League.
I’m on record wanting him fired the day after he was hired from Vandy.
I already knew the guy was a walking talking fraud.
It’s a tad sad that it took you and others so long (10 years
) to prove me correct.
osu had strauss.
Oh look, it’s this weird guy with his multiple handles, liking his own posts that once again take the conversation way off topic. It’s so creepy and sad. Doesn’t even change his writing style from one persona to the next.
You and Chumbot should spend less time listening to the voices in your head.Oh look, it’s this weird guy with his multiple handles, liking his own posts that once again take the conversation way off topic. It’s so creepy and sad. Doesn’t even change his writing style from one persona to the next.
Actually what I dislike is having to correct totally false or partially correct information from intellectually challenged people. I do wonder what lashing out at me says about you?

Why do you use multiple handles and have conversations with yourself? Is it because nearly everyone has your handles on ignore, so you have no one to talk to?
Please list my handles. Do you always feel surrounded? There may be medications that can help you with your paranoia.
You already responded to the ones I pointed out in this thread—did you forget already?
You’re very transparent, bud. It’s not hard to see that when you’re posting, it’s when your other handles are posting the same exact trash and liking each others post. Then, when you’re offline, they all magically stop lol. You bombard the board with a flurry of dumb@ss comments.
But do you notice how I’m one of the only real people responding to you? It’s because everyone else put you and your handles on ignore.
So you are just making feces up. You can't name another handle that is allegedly me. You are intellectually incapable of understanding that there could be more than one person who frequents here that is not into groupthink. Look it up! It effectively describes the concurrent seeking that has become the dominant theme of this forum.You already responded to the ones I pointed out in this thread—did you forget already?

To be a card carrying BWICAC member we must pledge the following:
-Franklin is every negative thing we can think of and so replacing him with anyone is an upgrade
-Campbell loves kittens, puppies and babies. He embodies every redeeming quality that Franklin lacked and in addition is a perfect football coach who will win big games and all the little ones too.
-Penn States football future is incredibly bright. Reason #1 Franklin is gone. Reason #2 Campbell is the antithesis of "BGJ." He will not only get us to the big game, but he will win.
- We are not concerned that PSU is ranked 6th or 7th in the Big Ten in recruiting, because we can identify talent like no other coaching staff and we also "coach em up."
-Having 5 other teams in the Big Ten and about 18-20 other programs outspending us for rosters is in no way an impediment to" success at the highest level."
-finally, if all else fails and Campbell doesn't win any more than Franklin......we will still love him because he plays "hard nose" football, has created culture and is loved by the football alumni. Besides we will have in excess of 100k attendance and luxury boxes!
Failure to be 100% committed to the above contract will be interpreted as being a subversive, and separation from all club activities will occur.
A great thread on great news turned to complete sh|t. 
I always wondered if pnny just had multiple personalities and ensured each one had the same level of crazy in there.
F ‘em. I’m off to the gym wearing my Penn State shirt.
A great thread on great news turned to complete sh|t.
Did we expect anything else?
