Bids in the tens of thousand of dollars for the tickets (and I'm certain many of them were serious).

[T]hreats made against the trustees.

A riot when Paterno was fired, with a news van turned over.

The man who stood silently outside Beaver Stadium with a sign that said "Honor the Child Victims" was spat upon, doused with beer, cursed, and struck.

An attorney for one of the victims identified in the grand jury presentment said on TV: “I think it’s fair to say the victims could be thinking to themselves right now that as a result of (my) coming forward, look what’s happened to this football program."

And some people say it's not a cult.

On the local news last night, some jackass was interviewed & said “we don’t pray for JoePa, we pray to him cuz he’s a saint”. Simply deranged.

I posted a thread here yesterday about a moron (no doubt a student) who painted a halo over Paterno’s head on a mural somewhere at PSU.

These people are not Christians, no matter what they call themselves. Their god is football.
