We are cursed because…?

[BobPSU92]

Why?

 

[Marshall2323]

The meek shall inherit the earth.

 

[Midnighter]

Sandusky.

 

[nittanymoops]

The weather thread got nuked.

 

[KingLando]

Sandusky.

Probably the most honest answer

 

[olelion]

Trump's fault

 

[Chumboshifko1]

Where is M'Pache!!!!!!!

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Trump's fault

Hey Old Man Demtard.

Keep your shift off this board.

 

[Efejle]

We are not cursed. We don't have any talent.

 

[Sunshinedynomite 1]

The weather thread got nuked.

Bring it back for Campbell.

 

[Steve JG]

Why?

The weekly Kournikova threads stopped………

 

[JoeLion]

The Count disappeared.

 

[Chumboshifko1]

We are not cursed. We don't have any talent.

We are not cursed. We don't have any talent.

You don't either.

 

[psuro]

I blame Jay.

 

[MtNittany]

No virgins left. The obelisk just doesn't care anymore.

 

[Bvillebaron]

Sandusky.

No the administration and BOT’s mishandling of the Sandusky situation both on the front end by giving him access to PSU facilities and the right to bring TSM kids on campus and on the back end by voluntarily accepting draconian sanctions which the NCAA had no authority to impose (admitted by Emmert when he announced them and later established in court).

...And keeping Paterno on a decade too long. This is why you don't have 80 year head coaches (or elected officials for that matter). I'd say the same if Cael Sanderson wanted to coach past the time when he could roll around on the mat.

One could argue that there is nothing that gives this football program an identity and separates it from others since Joe has been gone. The one thing that defined this program and drew players and fans towards it is no longer here, and the program is suffering because of it.

Franklin could have been the guy had he won some BIG. GAMES. and didn’t turn out to be a jerk.

Push real hard. It'll come out.

 

[TheBigUglies]

Ever since they stopped serving sprinkles at the Creamery?

 

[Nitt1300]

We deserve worse, and it's coming.

[NEPA Lion]

The fans, media and probably the team wrote off opponents as Wins before the season began.
P.S. they did it last year too.

The Autoport closed down, Rt. 322 was widened and the trip through The Narrows lost its charm, mid-rise buildings sprouted up in town, and decades have past since we enjoyed the youthful energy and excitement of life on fall afternoons. And probubly some other stuff as well.........

Everything sucks now.

I'll bet at night, the concrete that replaced the Autoport still glows under a black light.

 

[Phils rug]

We need a good boilo thread to reverse the curse

 

[barry j fenchak]

1 - Paterno allowed to stay 10 years too long
2 - "We do things the right way"/"Grand Experiment" bullcrap
3 - Sandusky
4 - Franklin and his idol worshipers

#1 - if Paterno had been let go Ten years before his departure, his successor would have been Jerry Sandusky
#2 - calling the Grand Experiment "bullcrap" is sufficient proof that you are utterly, utterly clueless. We could ask the hundreds of good athletes who played for Penn State because of Joe's standards or we could take the word of delusional contrarians.

 

[Conewago]

PSU fan discourse is impossible without recognizing the truth about Jerry. This is fundamental.

Why does Penn State football struggle?

The administration is screwed up.

Why is the administration screwed up?

The collective answer of anyone who doesn't accept this truth is:



The truth is that a competent Penn State administration was replaced via coup by a corrupt governor Corbett, who hated Spanier, and a BoT led by a man, Surma, who also held grudges. While notable public figures, including the head of the lettermen association and former federal investigators (i.e. John Snedden), accept the truth about Penn state and Pennsylvania politics, the fanbase generally prefers to deny the obvious, and deny the rampant problems of the Sandusky prosecutions, because it's hard to accept that criminal justice can be extremely unjust - additionally, a vocal minority of Penn State "fans" actually hated Paterno despite his immense success and impact on college football. They are poisonous and incorrigble.

History will eventually even more thoroughly vindictate some or all of the above.

And giving the second mile a substantial acreage of ground along the toftrees and airport corridor to build a youth atheletic compound.

 

[Conewago]

Penn state football is also cursed because our athletic department refuses to claim national championships in 1969 and 1994. Not claiming 94 is so cuckish.

 

[Marshall2323]

1. We're stuck with Pat Kraft
2. State College is in the middle of nowhere and it doesn't appeal to today's 5 star talent
3. Money is the recruiting/retention/and portal end all be all, and PSU is not top 20
4. An airport would help you can't get there from here

 

[Nitt1300]

We aren't cursed at all. The expectations of the delusional were never realistic, if you bought in that's on you.

Oh absolutely. Paterno should have retired at least 10 years sooner. But keeping him that long didn’t come close to doing the harm to the football program that the BOT and administration did.

You forgot that parking lot 80 closed down, no more winds of freezing cold despair blowing out any negative vibes that may be near the stadium.
