NCAA Football '11-'12

[grumbler]

The whole Sandusky scandal I almost don't care so much about, it shows he cared more about his football team's image than little boys getting raped in his showers, but that's really just indicative of what college football is. I don't doubt that almost any coach in D-IA would have done the same as Paterno in that situation, college football views itself as bigger than life, and bigger than right and wrong.

Bo wouldn't have done what Paterno did:

No, I don't believe he would've.

Mack Brown had one of his longest subordinates let go for harrasing an adult woman much less raping a boy.  I have a hard time imagining him letting that one go by.

Schembechler was a standup guy, as I said "almost any coach would have done what Paterno did", Bo was one of the ones I was thinking of who wouldn't have allowed a pedophile to continue having an existence in his facilities. Bo genuinely embraced leadership, coaches like Paterno, and really most of the IA crop, embrace leadership when it is to their benefit and hide behind the institution and excuses when they don't want the buck to stop with them.

It's a shame Schembechler coached at a school filled with fuckwits and douchebags, he would have fit in more with the less academically prestigious but more personable people at Ohio State.

And when hearing that a longtime assistant apparently was a pedophile, Jim Boehoeim calls the accusers money grabbers and blasts them on national television (obviously that's basketball and not football.)

I think there are scattered individual coaches who have enough personal integrity that they would have made sure the right thing was done in the PSU situation. But I think most coaches are, well, good coaches but not necessarily great leaders or great men. When most of them would have the opportunity to report a long time subordinate to the police for horrible crimes and most likely significantly damage their own reputations in the process or sweep it under the rug--I fear almost all of the coaches in IA would sweep it under the rug.

Paterno didn't fail to go to the police because of any loyalty out of Sandusky, he did it because he was afraid as to how it would look when it came out a guy who worked for him for 30 years was a boy raping pedophile that had utilized Penn State facilities as locations for his child raping.

Boeheim and Paterno believed they were bigger than kiddie rape.  That's the kind of shit thinking you get out of insular crapholes from people who think that evil doesn't happen around people who win championships.

Never knew you attended.  Learn something new every day.

No, sadly I couldn't honestly answer the question on the application that said, "Do you have the largest ego of anyone you've ever met?" and I can only surmise that is why I didn't get in.

But I have met you, and from that I feel 100% confident in generalizing about all people who went to school there, without exception or reservation.

I can only surmise that you then woke up, and your pillow was gone!

You have met me?  When was that?

I'm sorry I wasn't listening.
