We don’t know if the players did anything wrong or not. Although I expect that they all pretty much still idolize Paterno - and that IS wrong. Playing football today is a temple service to the Paterno/PSU/football god. That is wrong. What they should have done is walk away and not play. Same with the fans. That would show that they REALLY feel badly for the victims. Right now, though, they are all feeding the god of football.
The only way they DESERVE a win is that they play a better game of football today. Do you think then, that all of PSU’s teams from now to perpetuity should win then also?
One could just as easily say that Nebraska DESERVES to win today because they don’t have a coaching staff or university officials who have just been shown to be involved in a huge cover-up of a sexual predator.
I am sorry that you are hurting over this. I have always liked Penn State. BUT...a team doesn’t DESERVE to win because of anything else than they performed better than the other team(s) on that particular competition. My issue was with your use of the word “deserve”. Which, btw, you never addressed why you said that.
Poor choice of words. The deserve a chance to win. Better?
