Joe Paterno’s Last Win at Penn State? Mike McQueary Was the Quarterback in 1997
The NCAA sanctions levied against Penn State by Mark Emmert took away all the school’s victories from 1998-2011. We’ve already examined what that has done to Joe Paterno’s career wins total. Here’s an interesting twist to the punishment: Guess who was the QB on the 1997 Penn State team? Mike McQueary. He testified in the Sandusky Trial.
Paterno’s last official game: 1997 Citrus Bowl (Jan. 1, 1998): 21-6 loss to Steve Spurrier and Florida. Here’s a recap.
Paterno’s last official win: 35-10 over Wisconsin at Beaver Stadium on November 22nd.

All Penn State, all the time. Your source for dipshittery and posts that no one really cares about.
TBL, you asked Kaiser earlier how you were being a troll, right? Well this my friend is exhibit A for the day. You could have easily added this to the end of the career wins total article, that was writing like an hour ago, and been done with it. Instead, you choose to choose to make a grab for a few more pageviews and try to keep our manufactured outrage and feigning concern on a low boil for a few more hours.

Kaiser – I didnt put much thought into it the rest of the weekend. Too busy doing country club stuff: sailing and golfing and eating on my in-laws dime at the club. However, did you see my Dr. Dog – Be the Void recommendation? not sure that matches, but it would fit some of the stuff you said you liked the other day.

July 23rd, 2012 at 11:30 AM
Jason since you are not responding to my comment in the last post, I’ll put it here:
I mean, certainly you can see the difference, Jason, between a school that has scholarship restrictions for a few years and a school who refuses to even recruit players of a certain caliber for nearly 20 years….please tell me you see the difference between the two. You went to college, I have faith that you are able to undertake compare and contrast exercises.
And I will reiterate: are you completely unaware of the existence of USC and what they’ve done with similar restrictions (though minus the huge fine)?
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:30 AM

i’ve been listening to “The Lumineers” all weekend, really liked that rec.
I don’t recall the Dr. Dog, but you listed Dr. John.
i suppose i can overlook the transgression… this time, haha.
thanks for the recommendations, all have been pretty good so far.

we’re going to have a few more penn state posts as info comes out.
so what new info came out between the last 3 Penn State posts and this one? you googled “Penn State wins 1997″?
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:32 AM
I hear ya, and to be honest can’t blame you nor would I try to argue against it. Gotta get dem’ bills, amaright? But that doesn’t mean it won’t go un-chided around these here parts, especially when you easily provide us with the very examples you ask us for.
Serious question though: will you be weighing in with an opinion on the NCAA sanctions? Would love to get your entire opinion on the matter, preferably in 500 words or more.
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:33 AM
Read: There will be a few more posts on PSU as other blogs do more work that I can then scavenge.

Now when we are force-fed QB-controversy posts about the last-place JEts all November, I’ll feel differently.
July 23rd, 2012 at 11:38 AM
huge fan of two drummers (see: allman brothers)…just had far too many road trips with dad and the dead. prolly why im so fond of talking heads, jazz and some of the other music he dug because i was so fucking sick of the grateful dead, anything was a nice reprieve.

I know where this is from, but I chose to read it in Ed Harris’ voice from “The Truman Show”. “If his was more than just a vague ambition, if he was absolutely determined to discover the truth, there’s no way we could prevent him.”

I preferred your less hard edged response in the previous post. But I take your point nonetheless. My opinion is that the details of this case will fade away quicker than we are presently able to imagine. We are so near the event, the NCAA penalty anyway, that any sense of how long lasting this will be is complete guess work. My feeling, and I know it’s my opinion and that I could very well be proven wrong in the coming years, is that Penn State will weather this and end up being fine. If that means that I go against the majority of opinions today, then so be it.

I’m not agreeing with anyone. But you’re an idiot if you don’t realize that all outrage has a half-life, and every year that passes, recruiting will become easier, and fewer people will have a problem playing for PSU.
If PSU was the best available school for your kid in 5 years, that’s where he’d go.

that’s like having lebron on the bench in lieu of shane battier. hated him ever since.

True story … I have a strong dislike for Mark Richt and his holier than though schtick and of course, my kid follows along with that. So when my kid was a junior, he was approached by Richt at a camp and he asked him “So, do you have any interest in attending the University of GA?” My kid responded with “Absolutely Coach. I’d love to be a bulldog.”
Flat out absolute lie it was … but you never know.
