    It will be interesting to see how MQ responds to this via "Friends Only" emails...

    • No offense to our law enforcement personnel but it wouldn't be the first time cops have employed a CYA strategy.

        WOW... That does not put Paterno nor the school in good light...

          I don't know, I call BS on some of it. PSU had a black starting QB and likely a black starting RB and more than likely other key AA players. If JoePa really thought his football players lives were in jeopardy, he would have taken protective measures. It would have been in his and PSU's own self interest.

          More than likely, he thought that the threat of any of his players lives being in danger was total BS. And he most likely was correct in that view.

              I wouldn't be surprised if coaches and/or players receive threats more often than we would believe. And I wouldn't be surprised if Paterno just figured this was par for the course - he'd seen plenty of threats over 45 years.

              I like to think that once the threatening notes began to include details like where to find a dead black man, that he would take the threats seriously. It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't up until that point, and they don't really talk about meeting with him after that point.

              Either way - this isn't very flattering. Concerned or not, he could go to the effort to say that he is concerned for his players' safety and will be reviewing the current security measures in place rather than just say "I'm just a football coach".

                You are talking about the same JoePa who put his program and PSU above the lives of 10 year old kids.. Yeah... That makes sense... He would of been proactive in this case..


                Not sure if you read, but the article, but the AA QB was getting death threats etc.. And 2 black students were killed and one was found in the location of the death threat...

                Seems a little substantiated..

                • That article is the most definitive I have read yet.

                  Appears it took a High School to do what Penn St failed to accomplish,


                  But back in 2009, when the case first landed in the office of the attorney general, no one knew where it would lead. The mother of a Clinton County, Pa., freshman called the local high school to report that her son had been sexually assaulted by Sandusky. Sandusky was barred from the school, where he had served as a volunteer coach, and the matter was reported to the authorities.

                    Yes, and this was something gleaned between the lines from the grand jury report for those who read it. The HS got suspicious, investigated, and wasted no time at all in doing the right thing once they knew what was up. They maybe could have taken better preventative steps, but hindsight is 20/20 and all that. They had much less evidence to go on than Penn State, but they acted on it, found a problem, and immediately took steps to prevent it as well as reporting it to the proper authorities.

                      I remember reading that, and how the principle called the mother in tears telling her she needed to get down to the school now.. This was after she had called and said Sandusky was not to be with her son alone. The principle went and found him with Sandusky and that is what transpired..

                      At least that is what I got from the little synpets I could read. But, if that is the case is the Principle in the grand Jury testimony?? If not why? Or maybe it is because he didn't see anything but the boy confessed what had happened to him...

                          Perhaps far less than a "little substaniated". First of all the chronology is off. The meeting with Paterno was before the student protest prior to kick-off of the Blue-White scrimmage. The bodies of the dead black men were discovered days after the scrimmage. Further, the body of the "young black man" was discovered 3 hours from Happy Valley. The second black man was discovered 20 miles away but he was 38. Neither were Penn St. students and their deaths, according to police, were not related to Penn St.

                          So what we have is a student advocate of minority issues who has received death threats and has become aware that an AA football player has received the same. She goes to Paterno, JoePa appears to be unmoved - "I'm just a football coach". They organize a sit-in on the football field prior to kick-off at the Blue-White scrimmage and get arrested. A few days later bodies of dead black men are discovered - one 3 hours away and another near the vicinity stated in a death threat but not a student or affiliated with PSU. PSU administration did take security measures for the student body including round-the-clock protection for the individual named in the death threat. They brought in state and federal organizations to investigate and offered a reward for for information. But it was deemed too little, too late by the student protestors.

                          But somehow JoePa is at fault because he didn't turn in his former DC whom he probably knew was a pedophile. It's important to note that all this occurred before the McQueary incident. If we look hard enough, we can probably link JoePa to 911.

                              I think it's hard to keep one's perspective - that's understandable in this mess.

                              Did JoePa place a higher value on the image of the PSU football team than on protecting young boys? I think there is enough evidence to say - "probably".

                              Did JoePa place a higher value on the image of the PSU football team than on the personal safety and lives of his football players? I'm not conviced and have seen little evidence that this is the case.
