I think it will be a rough atmosphere in the Horshoe to say the least.

You ROCK, as always!!

Do you have any idea how many students attend PSU, main campus? You have to remember that within the walls of PSU, JoePa was looked up to. He IS going to have his supporters among the students, especially the football players and jocks. I'm not surprised they rioted. However, not ALL students are looking up to JoePa today and not all students are rioting.

Even as prosecutors closed in around its founder, the charity at the center of the Penn State child-abuse scandal told benefactors there was no truth to rumors that former Pennsylvania State University football coach Jerry Sandusky was under investigation, a group of four donors said Thursday.

Second Mile donors say they were misled in Sandusky inquiry | Philadelphia Inquirer | 11/18/2011

Greed rules.

2,000 people showed up that night to show support for JoePa and out of that number it was an estimated 200 idiots who were the actual rioters that were responsible for overturning the WJAC-TV van and ripping out a street lamp post.

There are 45,000 students at University Park so this was a very small proportion of PSU students who behaved this badly.It's the media who had grabbed this story with both fists and while salivating,falsely reported it as thousands of students who were involved in the mayhem.

Yes, they initially blamed the whole student body which is just ridiculous. They had also painted the whole town of State College as being nothing but one big community cult involved in the cover up of a monster and the crimes he committed and everyone living there lived by some code of secrecy. Sandusky was(is) a master at the art of deception. He was ( emphasize the word was) a well respected leader in the community who had many people who knew him or who attended his various activities and fund raisers thinking he was a generous do gooder and nothing short of a great guy. He managed to masterfully and totally dupe many of even the brightest people in that community.

May the horrific events of what happened at Penn State be a wake up call for all of us. 10,000 PSU students attended a candlelight vigil held for the victims and are also currently working on raising money to fund the advocacy for victims of child sex abuse. So far they have raised $400,000-in one week- and they have only just begun.

I agree I thought it was kind of pathetic. My initial reaction was karma is a b Jopa.

It would have been released regardless because of who he is.

Let's all remember who (Sandusky) committed the violent crimes.

Perhaps, but a raised eyebrow about the timing of his son all over ESPN is certainly consistent with distracting people from the crimes committed (point taken) by Sandusky.
