Penn St Audibles board is whacked

Keep in mind that the smart posters are probably all gone, burying their head in the sand in embarrassment. I know if something like this happened at Iowa I would be done as a Hawk fan and I doubt I would keep visiting these boards.

Totally true. I know precisely one PSU alum. He is heartbroken. He can't even talk about it. He wonders what he has been cheering for all these years. The last thing in the world he wants to do is log into a PSU forum and talk about it.
 


I feel sorry for you.

Do not feel sorry for me, I am not the one confused. When this stuff first broke you were challenging us on how the Pierce, Satterfield, Everson crimes were the same as what happened at Penn State and now you are saying they are not as bad. Which is it? Your problem is you are to damn hard headed to just admit your wrong or at least take a break and visit another site. Instead you keep bringing up meaningless points that have nothing to do with the situation at Penn State. Almost everyone but YOU agree that what has happened at Penn State is by far the most horrible scandal that has ever occurred at a university. There is nothing that has ever happened at the U of I that even comes close.

Seriously...if this was Iowa which had engaged in these atrocities, would any of you really want to go cheer on the ol' team this season?

Personally, I couldn't do it, not even close. I wouldn't even watch them on TV.

BINGO, not a chance I would be able to go to a game or cheer for anything Iowa related for a long long time.

would be an interesting poll here but on my phone.

The problem is that you aren't intelligent enough to understand.

Ill try to simplify it for you.

The premise was that if someone does something criminally wrong (heck even morally wrong) in a football program, then giving money to that program = supporting that behaviour even if the people that were behind it are gone and are being punished in the courts.

So by that measure you should not want to support Iowa, lets just say for the Everson Satterfield situation. In that situation, two people were fired over the mishandling of the situation. Or how allowing a rapist to stay on th team in Paul Pierce?

By supporting U of I you are supporting the actions taken, according to your standards.

You can try to argue that money = support only in one narrowly defined incident, i.e. PSU, but that argument is illogical and holds little weight.

I never once said that any situation at Iowa comes close to PSU, but that wasn't the point anyway.

I never said that PSU isn't the worst scandal that I know of to have ever happened at a university.

I am sorry if you don't understand what I have said. I will try to write things as simple as I can from now on.
 


nobody with an ounce of intelligence would compare what happened at psu to what happened at iowa. nobody with an ounce of common sense would argue that giving support to ab organization constitutes support of each organozational members actions. no reasonable person would fail to see how the actions of psu leadership completely tainted the organization to the point where any support give into it would constitute a reprehensible action.

You still don't get it. That's okay, it is way too far above your head. I thought I was dealing with rational people on here, not with people who base their decisions on gut feelings.
 




money=support in all cases. support of any large organization should be viewed as support of the org as a whole with the understanding that some individual members are not worthy of support. the actions of psu leadership were so reprehensible that they tainted the entire AD. The actions of Satterfield and the Iowa AD response are not even in the same universe and as such anyone trying to equate the two is a moran.

ill support my local pd even though i know there might well be an officer or two that is shady. however when the leadership of my local pd is Walking Tall shady I will no longer support them because I dont want my Nephew to get hooked on drugs and end up working at a corrupt casino instead of the lumber mill.

LOL just because someone disagrees with your opinion means they're a ******, solid logic pal.

You and Thunder can rant and rave all you want but it's not going to do a damn thing and Penn St will field a team this fall, they will remain in the B10 and this whole thing will have completely blown over within 3 years.
 


and fan33, with a sudden burst from his mighty dooshnozzle, takes the lead from david!
 


The problem is that you aren't intelligent enough to understand.

This right here just proves your maturity level. You cannot win the argument with Duff or I so you have to resort to insulting our intelligence. I am done with you, go back to your Penn State board as your line of reasoning would be welcomed there.
 


PSU's Audibles board is blinded by loyalty. Pretty sad actually.

At the same time, Iowa did handle the 2007 incident pretty badly. In fact most of Iowa's off the field issues are handled very poorly.

Not PSU level, not even the same universe. But Iowa fans shouldn't get too high and mighty. This program has enough to worry about with off the field stuff.

It's not just Hawkeye fans calling for PSU to atone for their sins, it's the entire sports-industrial complex, plus people who don't even give a damn about sports. You need to read more than just this website you moron.
