(122 posts)The systemic, constant, all encompassing need to win a game or two at the expense of defenseless little boys is more than I can take. IF anyone who ever went there to school, regardless of whether or not they played any sport whatsoever, isn't deeply ashamed right now, then you've nothing to add to the discourse of this civilization.

(8,419 posts)Was concerned that Penn State fans on the jury would look for a reason to let him go. Very glad to see that they did the right thing, restores my faith a bit.

(58,179 posts)it is Penn State fans who want this guy to burn most of all. Besides tarnishing the reputation of the school, in the minds of many PSU fans, Sandusky put Joe Paterno in his grave.

(45,851 posts)The rumor mill had to have been hot and heavy about Sandusky, people will talk even if just in whispers.
Paterno could have made Sandusky yet another reason for people to look up to him but he chose another path.
Paterno carried a great deal of social gravitas in Happy Valley, probably more than any other single person there.
