The culture of Penn State didn’t need an overhaul. The entire college athletics culture needs an overhaul. NCAA sux ass. Illinois sux just as bad

to all of you bitching about this, it was just on Chicago radio that the Illinois AD had been in contact with the PSU AD about the coaches intentions and the fact that they are seeing players they had recruited before. Evidently, O’Brien has been ignoring all contact from other coaches including phone calls, text messages and emails. Way to show you have your players’ best interests at heart O’Brien

to be fair…he was british. his hole choices were either scurvy gummers or pale gunts.

are you upset because, according to that definition, you’re an intellectual many times over or because you’re definitely not an intellectual?

I like girls. If I had a steady chick, I’d fade away from here like a misty breeze.

(reading the above comments, I picked the wrong time to take a nap. I’m truly in tears laughing at the depth and breadth of the humor.)

I swear I read that as, “when asked if he had glanced at the Penn State menu, Weis said, ‘yes’ ” – I can’t be the only one.

Dirt calls me Steven Starkweather on twitter from time to time.

Clayton is still mad at me for listening to sports radio.

Do you think this is bad form or shocking Lisk? Season starts in less than 2 months and PSU is a public campus. Not like they could put snipers up around Beaver Stadium to keep people out. 30 for 30 had some clips of the same thing after SMU got bodied by the NCAA.

I was actually expecting something akin freshman year when you had all the clubs and organizations lined up the first week of school in the quad trying to convince you that to join up, but with middle aged men in kahkis and 20 year old “fax girls” chatting up the ~~free agents~~ student-athletes.

When you shower at Illinois you won’t be soaking in the tears of a decade of raped children.
/pitch is very similar to that

They need to destroy that shower room and get another. Like yesterday.

Who posted that infernal racket from the ESPN coverage of PSU-tOSU ’08 the other day? I’ve developed a Pavlovian response where every time Penn State comes up that song pops into my head.

is this the song you are looking for?

Probably nice to get out of that hellhole that is Champagne for a few days and enjoy the beautiful rolling mountains of Happy Valley.

Well like the old saying goes “if your school’s ex defensive coordinator didn’t rape anyone, you are free to poach players from the one that did”

The origins of this saying date back to the Oliver Cromwell years, I believe.

i wonder what would happen if you hit an apple with a golf club…

Awesomeness ensues! I used to work at a summer camp where we would have cabin cookouts once a week, and you would get the supplies beforehand and it always included a bunch of apples. Well, needless to say the age group I had was about as interested in apples as a ddmcd would be in watching bert and ernie re-runs, so we always had a bunch of apples left over. Well, all of the cabins in our camp (16) would compile our apples that night take them out behind one of the cabins on the river and whack the shit out of them with old wooden clubs. The next morning it looked like an apple delivery truck exploded behind the cabin and in the river.

Good post, the hypocrisy of Emmert and the NCAA can’t be more obvious.

Fuck Illinois, went to a game there a few years ago and there were more PSU people tailgating than Illini. Weakest crowd/stadium I’ve ever seen, pitiful.
