Updates About Penn State Scandal UPDATED 6/12: PSU has spent $45.9M on scandal

Donate To GopherHole
As far as the actual penalties, they are severe, but the PSU FB program can survive this. The coaches are going to have to be very smart in recruiting, and they have to avoid injuries. I could see some kids taking advantage of this by walking on in order to say they played D1 FB. The residual impact of the scandal will hurt, but PSU is still a 'name' school in a major conference, and they will still have players who want to play there.

I still question the NCAA's decision to jump in and administer penalties without conducting its own investigation, or waiting to see what happened in the court cases against Spanier & Curley.

My gut tells me that the NCAA made the following determination "If we don't do something right away, it will look like we don't take child abuse seriously." In the end, I think the NCAA may have done the right thing for the wrong reasons, and that's what bothers me about the process. The NCAA, and a lot of members of the media, are "piling on" because they want to cover they own butts, and show everybody that "I'm taking this seriously."

You can feel better that PSU likely initated and proposed this penalty. They needed closure as well.

Technically, I guess you are correct. You said "will not" instead of "won't"

From a post of yours on 11/10/2011:

...the football program will not, and should not, receive any sanctions whatsoever...

Yes, I am aware of that. As I've said multiple times now, I don't know what I was thinking. That short sequence was a bizarre deviation from my normal behavior, and my normal stance on the subject.

Does the GopherHole allow posters to use "temporary insanity" as a plea here?

The funny thing about this is you are the same guy who incessantly harps on people for typos. Can they say, "that short sequence was a bizarre deviation from my normal typing"?

For the amount people say they dislike dpo, they certainly pay a lot of attention to him. People love to hate the annoying guy who is always right and live for the moment he is not.

Always right? I guess, if you decide to overlook a few moments of temporary insanity along the way.
 




If some of you have not noticed "DPO" and To Be Named Later" are the same person.

I'll put my reputation here against yours any day of the week, tough guy. Want to put up a poll with our screen names? Loser has to leave here and never post again? How about it, big mouth?

Also, it's a laughable and idiotic suggestion that TBNL and I are the same person. Par for the course coming from you, of course.

Yeah, from reading all the threads you have a great rep - tough guy! Sorry I mean TBNL\DPO. I should have received that $50 for figuring you out!!

Just as I thought - an idiot and a coward.
 

Boy, with this witty back and forth I think it could be argued that Gopherhole has developed a lack of institutional control :)
 

I can see why some people can get annoyed by dpodoll68. However, when it comes to football knowledge, he knows his stuff.
 


Boys, boys, boys...Does the Head Referee have to intervene???

Wow. So, we are clearly not the same guy. I suspect you know that, however. If you have a problem with him, so be it. Don't drag me into it simply because I defended his football knowledge.

If I have a football-related question, I will look to dpo, Bob Loblaw, Vames, and a few others. That is assuming I don't already know the answer myself. He knows what he is talking about, and you not liking that or being jealous of his knowledge because you dislike his approach does not make us the same person. Grow up.

No - Because you have solid posts that many respect.

Just because you and Replacement Gopher are both acting like complete D-bags in this thread doesn't make you the same poster. You are both just giant d-bags.
 


Put an end to this petty back and forth or we lock this thread which is a shame for those that want real discussion.
