Corn Flakes - Does the Nebraska - Penn State Game Go On?

To those going to the game, be careful. I sent an email to my friends who are going and you all should too, reminding them of who we are and to let PSU handle PSU’s issues. I have no doubt our fans will continue the legacy of being the classy, respectful individuals they are, but I just know the history of PSU fans. I wonder if Dr. Tom will send out a memo to the players, students, and fans today or tomorrow.

but to all who are traveling to the game, be careful, look out for each other and stay safe.

I would say they should close down the student section, seeing as how their students are actling like a bunch of opportunistic, drunken idiots, but they would probably just set fire to the stadium.

Cob of the Week – PSU students. (so far) Way to completely overshadddow and disrespect the victims of that serial rapist by your actions.

Don’t want to see things get ugly, but they need a large security presence to keep things under control – especially in the student section.

Expect the refs to call a VERY tight game. Don’t expect poor sportsmanship in this game, but bang-bang calls that go against PSU could set the fans off.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if PSU fans get crazy enough to make people think maybe the game shouldn’t have been played. At this point I don’t know that they really care about the outcome, I think they’d rather go just to chant “We want Joe” and “Down with BOT” or whatever else they can to show their anger.

I’ve said repeatedly that PSU should commit to donating the revenue from the game to charity.

Their seniors deserve to play this weekend. They’re still innocent in all of this.

…who will be traveling up for the game (that I’ve been planning all season to attend), I want to say thank you in advance to those of you who make the trip. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Husker fanbase and have great memories of tailgating with a few of its members back in 2002.

I think that you’ll find that many people at the game this weekend will be in the same camp as me….alums or others who have a longtime connection with the school who are dazed and distraught, and just want to be among others who have some idea of what we’re going through. The PSU fanbase is not made up entirely of students behaving like idiots, and it makes me very sad to think that a visiting fan would ever think they have a reason to feel unsafe.

Think of the victims, and welcome to Happy Valley. Wish it was under better circumstances, but we’ll be glad to have you nonetheless.

Grand Jury Investigation PDF

Victim 1 – 2005-2006 Molested over 20 times, including oral sex.
Victim 2 – 2002 Grad assist hears “rhythmic slapping noise” and witnessed, what looked to be, a 10 year old boy with his hands up against the wall and coach Sandusky having intercourse with him. McQueary tells Jo"Pa", and Sandusky’s keys to the locker room are taken away (admittance of guilt) (Police and child welfare agencies NEVER notified)
Victim 3 - 7or8th grader who claims Sandusky repeatedly fondled his genitals.
That is a sample – THE LIST GOES ON!

Now, after the entire chain-of-command, including Paterno, turns a blind eye to victim #2, this is PSU’s student body’s reaction…

Something is inherently wrong with our society and it’s priorities.

Why not play the game in Lincoln?

At the end of the day, it’s not about wins and losses, it’s about humanity and doing the right thing. Now it’s time to do the right thing and postpone the game…or…..

Move it to Lincoln.

Now is NOT the time to be playing football in State College, PA.

To move the game to Lincoln or Philly. Give the seniors the respect they deserve.

if this game is cancelled!

If there was just a little more time, maybe moving it to Pittsburgh or something like that would be better. I think that they need to be as respectful as possible to the Seniors who have played their hearts out for Penn State. This is super sad all around right now. I hope things calm down a little today so people can think a little more clearly.

I’m guessing that Penn State fans are rational enough to know that Nebraska has nothing to do with this, and so violence toward the opposing team would be kind of silly. I’m most worried about Husker fans getting into arguments with Penn State fans over this issue which may ultimately end up getting violent. Everyone going to the game, practice this with me

“Your coach was fired, you say? Sorry, we’re new to the conference, and the radio reception back home in Nebraska is pretty shoddy, so I don’t know anything about that.”

McQueary is still on the coaching staff and will be at the game. Unbelievable.

Jerry Sandusky was told that he had to retire in exchange for a cover-up. If you look at the timeline, that makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?

All the more reason to clean house and rebuild.

"I am saddened to learn of the recent events at Penn State and we will continue to monitor the developments on their campus. We will hold the alleged victims and all those involved in our thoughts and prayers.

"We have had a number of inquiries from fans regarding the circumstances at Penn State and the conditions they might expect in attending the game. UNL Chief of Police Owen Yardley is in touch with the Penn State police department and we have talked with interim Penn State Athletic Director Mark Sherburne. We have visited with Penn State security and we understand they are enhancing their security efforts for Saturday’s game and are taking extra precautions to ensure that all players, coaches and fans are treated in a respectful way. We also appreciate that there is a student-led effort at Penn State to respectfully welcome Nebraska fans to Beaver Stadium and into the Big Ten Conference. We know that our fans will reciprocate and display good sportsmanship toward Penn State’s fans and players."

How in the heck does Nebraska think it’s going to contain Silas Redd? They haven’t contained a solid running back all year.

That question’s counterpart, how in the heck does Nebraska plan to move the ball on PSU’s front line?

Controversy or not, these teams don’t match up will for Nebraska.
