A last-ditch drive ends in disappointment for Penn State, which loses to Nebraska, 17-14. Not having any timeouts crippled the offense, which completed two passes short of a first down, including one with seconds left, but couldn't stop the clock.
This is a different Saturday in State College. Immediately after McGloin's final pass fell incomplete, the Penn State crowd cheered the team's effort: the cheering grew to a roar as the two teams again met a midfield, such as they did right before the game.
Again, as occurred several times during the game, there were chants of "We love JoePa." Interviewed after the game, interim coach Tom Bradley said that what Penn State has gone through over the last week is "unprecedented in the history of college sports."

Five times as many rioted vs attending the vigil and 105 times as many attended a game that never should have been played. A thousand times as many are defending Pedd State in the media, in the rest of academia and in communities in PA. Jay Paterno was the final straw on ABC this afternoon.
Burn it to the ground.
That is absurd. The players are guilty of nothing.
He didn’t even bother finding out who the little boy was so he could be protected. He knew which little boys were Sandusky’s latest. Sandusky took them with him everywhere.
PSU fans can defend it all they want, but Joe Paterno and others DID NOT DO ENOUGH! They went into coverup mode and it is truly sick!
They can all kiss my ***. Theres not a person I know that condones the actions of Sandusky or how the University handled it. And until they can prove Paterno was in on it he gets the benefit of the doubt.
He was witnessed twice. Both times the police were involved (the major failure being Schultz in 2002). Both times they failed to prosecute. He was most certainly NOT open about sexually abusing children. He was caught twice by chance. Read the report and see that he did these things late at night or when nobody was around.
“It was in support of Paterno remaining head coach.”
And that’s the problem. He is a moral failure. He should be shunned, not lauded.
There is also no one tolerating pedophilia here, with the exception of Spanier, Curley, Schultz, and possibly Paterno and McQueary.
To act like Penn State fans are in support of pedophilia or at least tolerating it is flat out wrong.
Seriously, members of the coaching and athletic staff, the foundation, the campus police, the administration and who knows how many others turned a blind eye and deaf ear to this. Had it been handled years ago in a proper manner, the fallout would be minimal, but to simply give a “moment of silence” and continue the game is really a slap in face to the victims (and who knows how many their are), and a wink-nod to those involved.
Sorry, If I had been an alumni supporter, I would stop NOW. I would not be donating or attending any of the athletic or charity events.
He didn’t go to the police! If he had gone to the real police, or to the state troopers, this would have ended YEARS AGO..
Contemplate that!
This is the first time I have started firing back on any of these threads, because there pretty much is no point in communicating with these morons.
Instead, when I haven’t been doing stuff, I’ve been spending my time checking out sources that are not full of morons.
I suggest pennlive, the rivals and scout penn state message boards (you have to pay for rivals’,) and other penn state sites such as black shoes diaries.
Thank You! :-)
There was a brick thrown through his window.
“I Went to the police” has about as much bearing as a Nazi saying, “I was only following orders.”
Which now carry less legitimacy than Barry Bonds Home run "record."
Maybe they can just forego their “progress” into the ultimate darkness of the homo thrill - boy and man rape.
Penn State has been on a dark slide into homo porn and dominance land. They celebrate like it is a badge of honor. It’s not. It brings down all honor into the gutter with it. It is ravishing and not in a good way.
You’re wasting your time. Go read post #9 and see what I mean. You can’t communicate with these people. They have been reduced to a bloodthirsty mob with the collective intelligence of a retarded gorilla.
Paterno’s actions as outlined in the grand jury report support the idea that he did his part, going to his superior and the head of campus police and putting them in touch with the actual witness. He was not found to have any fault after a three year grand jury investigation. You might think that 60 years of service to the community and the University with no character questions might buy him the benefit of the doubt, but apparently not. Paterno isn’t even being investigated or accused of anything, but every asshole with a keyboard and microphone is claiming he supported and protected a child rapist. That’s sickening to me and this site has been a complete embarassment on this issue.
Speak for yourself. We each enjoy different things, but that's no reason to brag.
[Everyone was calling for Sandusky to return to coaching today. We want a bronze statue erected for him the size Christ the Redeemer.]
It wouldn’t surprise me a bit. It also won’t surprise me if a jury of his peers (PSU fans) don’t let him walk. Prosecutors better ask that the trial be moved.
ha!
I assure you from real experience that the University Park police are real police. University Park is its own town with its own post office, its own zip code, and its own police force. If he calls the commissioner of the University Park police to a meeting to report what the witness has told him, I have no idea how you can refer to that as “not going to the police.”
Wrong with me? Explain to me what the current players did to deserve your wrath? They just went to college and to play football. To blame them for what adults did is not only unfair, it’s stupid.
