Do Penn State grads/current students carry a stigma?

Anonymous
If you defend JoePa (even a little bit), you definitely get a stigma (well-deserved)

Everyone doesn't fit in your box, PP. I also don't care about your stigma - at all.


yes but every time someone asks or says something about Penn state they won't think of the successful whatever program they think if the scandal and not paterno's son is on the board of regents. well done there at happy valley

They really blew it by not disbanding football for a season or two. They would have been able to build it back up quickly with a much better reputation showing that the school is more than football and that it is run by normal adults with character. Instead they foolishly chose the path of perminent blight.

The cult is back up and running with the start of the football season.

Ranked #4, haters! Next you will claiming that it's poor sportsmanship to ice a kicker when we were up by 56 points. Just win, baby.

Please check the bathrooms in the locker rooms within the stadium...what matters most was lost in the euphoria during the JOEPA era! I see it happening again! Shame!

No it's not.

Rutgers is for normal people that understand football takes a back seat to decades of kiddy anal rape .

It's unbelievable what happened up there.

The weird thing is that the new coach they hired left his old job just as his players began capital trial for gang raping a coed that was on the hottie football hostess squad he organized in her dorm room.

A total slimeball.

Penn State football is back!!! It was Sandusky that derserves to rot in hell, not the student athletes. Stop acting like it was the entire school, it wasn't the math department and it wasn't the student athletes. Sandusky is in jail, the 50,000 students do not need to be punished

Too dumb to care.


lol, so true. State school people rarely if ever venture out of state school bubbles. Everyone they know is of average intelligence. Overconfidence and lack of self-awareness thrives in state school bubbles.

There are some excellent state schools out there, Michigan, Wisconsin, UNC, Cal, where none of what you say is true. Get out of your bubble!

It was JoePa too. He knew. For years. And did virtually nothing. And the alumni put his son on the board recently. They have lost their moral compass.

Least likeable team, coach, and fans in the Big Ten, and that is saying a lot given that we have Meyer and Harbaugh! Can't stand Franklin and the annoying little pint sized QB who makes a baseball swing/watch it fly out of the park gesture with every touchdown. I hope that Michigan and Ohio State put them back in their place. I can't stand to hear the media crow about their comeback anymore. They don't deserve a comeback!
