Penn State vs. Maryland Second Half Thread



Penn State needs to shoot better in the second half. If Jeff Brooks and Andrew Jones could stay out of foul trouble that would be good too. Oh, and if Talor Battle could pretty please go off or get in the zone or whatever he does when he plays like a super alien from another planet, that would be good too. Oh and just one last thing. Billy Oliver and Taran Buie should just pass the ball when they get it. Please no more horrible bricks or air balls from behind the arc.

mmkaythxbye.

Defensively, they don’t help, they forget assignments, blah blah. Basically they always look like a young team on defense. Good defenders like Cornley are usually too short.

Offensively, they are a total disaster area and I see nothing resembling a system. If anything, they look like they can’t decide between being a run and gun 3 point team or, like, a balanced offense. They take a lot of terrible shots early in the clock. Tonight they spent lot of time with no one even close to the post.

I just don’t know what they’re doing. Even when we were decent two years ago, I couldn’t tell what the plan was. I don’t see how Ed gets this to work without great talent. Even then, he’d be pushing things.

So much of our offense was built around the fast break in 2008

and I didn’t see that tonight… Cornley and Jones were the keys to that team plus a few last second three’s by Battle against various teams.

Simple fact of the matter tonight… we lost as soon as Brooks and Jackson got in foul trouble. Any team (and I mean ANY team) can go after those two and draw a few fouls early and we’re toast.

Ed’s pretty average. He’s a really nice guy who’s found some under the radar talent who have had nice careers. But I still would’ve liked to have had Steve Lavin after we got rid of Jerry Dunn instead.

Only two kinds of people would conceivably subject themselves to this, and they’re natural enemies:

OK, I hate to be the bad person here,

but do you have a link to a news article about this? This seems like a blog that makes a lot of speculative arguments but has little proof. First, she was obviously a troubled teen (leaving U of Dayton after a semester and having problems with depression). Second, she said that she wasn’t raped, but was sexually assaulted, but this blog doesn’t give details – what happened in that room?

Again, I’m sure I sound like a complete bitch, but we’ve seen first hand what malicious rape charges can do to athletes (Austin Scott, Duke). Also, the fact that she committed suicide is not proof of the person’s guilt. Speaking as a person who has battled depression, it generally takes quite awhile of silent depression to lead you to edge of suicide, but then one thing can push you over (not that I ever got there, but I know the hopelessness). That thing doesn’t even have to make sense. The point is, we don’t know, and she’s not here to answer questions. The fact that she had underlying depression and transferred schools so early makes me the story suspicious to me, but I’m not a psychologist.

I’m not saying that she wasn’t sexually assaulted, I pray to God that she wasn’t, but you also have to consider that she may have had emotional problems that led her to make something like this up. If there’s evidence that she was assaulted, I hope they chop the guys balls off.

I don't think you were being the bad person,

I think you just pointed out everything that makes the situation so horrible. No one besides the player himself knows what happened, and no one besides the girl would know why she killed herself. So what can anyone do?

This.

You precisely summarized my thoughts: those who know (or should know) refuse to speak, and presumably the one person who would speak no longer can. Very, very sad.

I will add, however, that I don’t approach these from an innocent until proven guilty perspective. Doing what I do, I have had the opportunity to work with many assault victims. For every one that reports an event, three or four do not. It’s so darn frightening that no matter how far society has come, much of it still views female sexual assault as something that can be brushed under the carpet. So, when I read a story like this, I (admittedly wrongly, but really cannot help it) shoot from the hip.

how awful for that poor girl's family

I will bet you her name get’s dragged through the mud

That is why I get so angry when ho’s like Jenn Stenger pull the kind of crap they do (for money and fame)

Oh dear

That’s terrible

I think Notre Dame has reached the status of “team you kind of always hated that you now feel bad for”. Kinda like the Cleveland Browns to Steelers fans.

I don't know if anyone else survived the game.
