		<description><![CDATA[I just read the Grand Jury report and all through it I was sick about what Sandusky did to these boys. How devious to have them stay at his home so often and then I thought,WHERE WERE THEIR MOTHERS.  I thouhgt about my son and I don&#039;t care how many football games he got to go to , I would find it strange that an elderly man like Sandusky would want him around so much, especially for sleep overs.  Are you kidding me.
And where was his wife when all this was happening.  Was her head in the sand?  She had no clue., and wait there were many others, janitors, Mcqueery, who was 28,  who never came forward or called the police,  so tell me how this has not turned into a witch hunt for Joepa]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The entire PSU administration is corrupt.  From the football coaching staff, to the AD, to the President, to the campus police.

Everyone looked the other way, just so Paterno could win football games.

It is not beyond the realm of possibility that the families were paid off by PSU to keep quiet.

I feel badly for those PSU alums that are everyday run of the mill college grads who go to work and raise a family without raping their neighbors kids.

The fact that Paterno told the crowds to pray for the victims is kinda creepy.  He could have prevented it.  Prayer, while it&#039;s all good and stuff, doesn&#039;t actually stop anyone from doing bad things.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I asked for answers and I got some...I just don&#039;t understand why it came out now?  I realize he was preying on disadvantaged youths but out of the 8 or 9 or whatever the tally is now not one single parent said no way will I let this man go on doing what he did to my child?  It&#039;s obvious at this point the police were brought in and nothing ever came to light?  Seriously?  I&#039;m not saying because I have never been in that situation what I&#039;d do but I have/want to think that mothers/fathers being aware of despicable actions would not lay down and disregard my child being victimized...whether I&#039;m from the ghetto or from a higher society.  I can&#039;t believe not 1 parent took a stand.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What galls me, is that Sandusky was first accused in 1998, which is why he retired in 1999 after beating A&amp;M in the Alamo Bowl. So Paterno HAD to know about this no later than 1998. When the next accusation surfaced in 2002, he did the bare minimum as required by PA law. He chose to protect the football team instead of the children. I hope he burns in hell.

And your university just turned a blind eye.

Yeah, you are Ped State.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It also wont change no matter how many morons make stupid statements to justify their underachieving in life.  Dont be jealous because you barely graduated high school and find yourself in a trailer park.

And lets be honest.  If you find the need to call an entire school &quot;Ped State&quot;, you are hiding something.

Again, stay away from kids and get some help.]]></description>

Just a suggestion, if you did in fact graduate from Penn State (as did I College ’05) hopefully you went to grad school. Do yourself a favor and use THAT school on your resume.

Hey *******, turn in your degree then(if in fact you have one) and roll around on the ground in a sobbing fit.  Equating this horrible situation with tens of thousands of students and alumni is pathetic.

WE ARE....PENN STATE

And that wont change no matter how much self-flagelattion occurs.  Or fake alumni come out of the woodwork.]]></description>

Judging by your name, you are an alum just like me (&#039;82).  Therefore, you know that JoePa had no superiors...either on campus or anywhere else in and around State College.  HE was the one that could have stopped this, and he chose to turn his back on those poor boys.  Thank God he&#039;s gone!  Now, we can move on and try to get past this.  So happy that the trustees showed some balls.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Paterno admits that he was told that something sexual was going on in the shower between Sandusky and a child. He further admits that all he did was tell an administrator. Nothing else at all. 

What&#039;s so egregious about his own admitted conduct is this: had he been told that something sexual was going on in the shower between Sandusky and Joe Paterno&#039;s own child, would he have done nothing more than make a phone call to an administrator?

Paterno is a moral hypocrite. No one should be surprised. They&#039;re everywhere. 

Should he be allowed to continue coaching. Why not? It&#039;s really all he&#039;s ever cared about, everything else being unimportant to him, including the raping of children in his locker room by his closest associate.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Joe Paterno should be allowed to continue coaching so the football team isn’t harmed? You can’t punish the players because of poor judgement by college officials.
..........................................
Who cares about the football team? A CRIME was committed, don&#039;t you UNDERSTAND? Sports is entertainment, it&#039;s meaningless in the real world. Sure, it&#039;s fun but this was a crime - WAKE UP BOYS - law enforcement should have been called immediately and this happened on Paterno&#039;s watch, didn&#039;t it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone seems to forget that Joe Paterno told the school about what he knew, which wasn&#039;t much.  Unfortunately, it appears that the school is using Joe as a scapegoat.  Everyone is pointing fingers at him and not where they should be pointing, which is at the administration and leadership at Penn State.

When Joe went to the school, what do you want to bet that they said they would handle it? After all, Sandusky was no longer employed there, and Paterno did not have anything to do with him.  The school needs to be held accountable, which seems to be something that isn&#039;t happening.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can only assume that sports writers, commentators, and other so-called illustrious persons across this nation are not familar with the words &quot;alleged&quot; or the famous &quot;innocent until proven guilty&quot;.  I am so disappointed in what I see and read everyday now in this so called &quot;great free country&quot; that allows due process.  Well that is clearly not the case here.  All you nay sayers have already decided that no matter what happens from here on or in the courts, Coach Paterno is guilty. Shame on you.  Funny how we forget that Coach Paterno is not the one being charged here, but yet he is all everybody is talking about.  Shame on you.  Penn State has been trying to get rid of him for about 10 years now they can finally be happy, they&#039;ve done it.  Congratulations.  By the way, anybody ever wonder why it&#039;s taken these &quot;alleged&quot; victims so long to come out about this?  Just a thought.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being an Alumna of Penn State, I can honestly say that the last few days have been painful to watch. Many of my fondest memories in some way lead back to campus. From the livelong friends to the fairly regular visits back to campus for football celebrations at Paternoville, Penn State, like many schools with deep traditions, permeates one&#039;s being even if you are not the &quot;School Spirit Type&quot;.

However, as a decent human being, I feel that is my obligation to VEHEMENT disagree  (hell rebuke) with the supporters of JoePa, namely the student body who brazenly support a coward who was not man enough to protect innocent children. There is no way you can justify sitting idly by with knowledge of child molestation, proven or otherwise. Further, the attempt to &quot;excise the cancer&quot; that is Sandusky by barring him from campus only shows an interest in protecting the &quot;Program&quot; not his victims. The chorus of enablers only provided more opportunities for this monster to take the innocence of countless children who were seduce by a allure once respected football program.

And to the few comments on this blog who believe that the court of public has judged to quickly, review the  grand jury indictment....On second thought, don&#039;t. The details are too heartbreaking and painful for anyone to subject themselves to.


Just a suggestion, if you did in fact graduate from Penn State (as did I College &#039;05) hopefully you went to grad school. Do yourself a favor and use THAT school on your resume. 9% unemployment rate is Killer....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are allegations that Sandusky was abusing boys on campus at Penn State as far back as 1994.  In 1999 he was told by a campus detective to no longer use the showers. He agreed &amp; was forced out of his job.  Why?  What was Paterno&#039;s role in that?  In 2002, while still having keys to all the facilities Sandusky was witnessed by the now receivers coach sodomizing a 10 yr old boy.  Instead of stopping it, he called his Dad who told him to tell Paterno who notified his immediate superior.  Didn&#039;t call the police at all.  This wasn&#039;t heresay it was actually witnessed. So Paterno knew 100% that Sandusky had raped a 10 yr old boy for sure no doubt since 2002.  9 yrs.  It really seems he has known since 1994. 17 years.  How many rapes could he have prevented if he just told the police?  His arrogance to say that Penn State doesn&#039;t need to worry one second about him.  Just like he  didn&#039;t worry 1 second about those children.  He will forever be linked to this.  Shame on him.]]></description>
