A loss this week will surely seal the end for Pappy. The reason being it was the direct result of losing players because of the legal issues. If we lose this week I hope we lose the rest of our games.

“It’s the utter lack of regard for consequences in the face of ongoing disciplinary incidents that is troubling.”

There it is right there. That’s the part that will baffle any thinking person.

I must say that is an excellent piece of logic. Well written

and now I almost don’t care about this team anymore. I was looking forward to a weekend in Happy Valley, but I could save the money and a long drive and stay home and watch my kids’ soccer games. (Elementary school soccer – egads!) Or mow the lawn. Or poke my eyes out with a fork.

If it wasn’t for players like Wiliams, Butler, Norwood, Devlin, Clark, Royster, Green, etc., I think I’d give up on this team.

And why is it always D players (except for no-good Quarless)?? The offense is gotta be ready to kill these guys (not literally, obviously, cause that’s illegal too.)

I know this is late, but let’s remember that at least when the U was all over the police blotter, at least they were playing in BCS games. We have guys that can’t stay out of trouble, yet still only go 9-4 every season.

Fights, weed, and alcohol. Big whoop. I’m not proud of this by any stretch, but lets keep everything in perspective before we start making comparisons to “The U”. The truth is, the same stuff can happen at 7th grader Brad’s house when he has a party while his parents are out of town.

I’m disappointed, and embarrassed, but not yet appalled. The Austin Scott case alone scared me more than the other problems combined. When the crime gets to that (alleged) level, then I may start to panic, but right now, I’m more ashamed than outraged.

How F*cking stupid do you seriously have to be: We’re (or my friend is) smoking some weed in our appartment, which is illegal, why don’t we turn the music all the way up too? Don’t worry, no one EVER gets busted that way. We’ll be fine too, because some of our teammates already got in a shitload of trouble, so we’re basically untouchable since ESPN already did their piece. Plus Joe never told us to stay out of trouble. Nope, not after the Merridian fight. Not after the HUB fight. Not after the underages and DUIs. We got nothing to worry about. Turn up the music

happens in East Halls and nobody bats an eyelid. In the first two weeks, I’ve seen about 50 kids smoking weed, multiple kids snorting cocaine, and just about everyone engaging in underage drinking. I’ve heard confirmed stories of date rape, of taking advantage of girls…nobody should care that football players do it.

maybe they weren’t making it up when they stated that PSU was recruiting players of questionable character. As I stated in another post, I would love to see the entrance qualifications of all these doofus’. Last I checked, there was an inverse relationship between intelligence and criminal behavior. The last 24 months, the behavior of this team would support that relationship and consequently ESPN’s insuation.

If anyone gives me shit about this whole thing………..I am just going to smile and admit what an embarrassment this has been. No defending anything. Defending the indefensible makes you look bad.

as a Top 5 party school.

Lets say tomorrow someone else finds that they are all clean. Can they still play on Saturday or is it a done deal? I know that nothing will come up but I was just wandering. I also feel as if Quarless should be kicked off the team he has been nothing but a trouble maker. Get some kid that wants to play and win and has a good head on his shoulder. I mean if I was one of these kids I wouldn’t want to risk it at a party they could be getting paid. Look at what some of the NFL stars are signing for these days. Not worth it for a little bit of pot.

convicted of any crime he might be facing 15-30 days in jail given that he is currently on ARD for DUI. I believe they are pretty strict about that. That ought to be a wake up call. I also believe that this was Harriott’s second DUI this year. Thus the immediate dismissal.

I’m so disgusted…This just puts me over the edge with this team. I wish I could root for some other team but I can’t because I’ve bled blue and white for the past twenty five years even when I was playing for another team in college. Joe has been an Icon and a poster child for what is right in college football and now I believe his reputation is tarnished. Its time to move on Joe… You have lost control.

seals Joe’s fate. 2009 is it. Better make it a good one.

This is best case scenario for the long term… Joe suspends them so he shows everyone he’s not putting up with this, even though we already know he doesn’t put up with it. They get drug tested next week which is plenty of time to run to GNC and pick something up. They’ll test clean and that will be it…

Until we know more details, this should be pretty easy to side step… unless the police definitely know who brought the weed, they won’t be able to pin it on anyone… especially if there were other people there…

suspension. Outside of this Saturday it won’t have much of an impact but would send a stronger message. On the positive front, this likely means Evans isn’t leaving for the NFL after this season.

suspending a pre-season all-american will tell the team that anyone can get punished….I hope.
