I am a Lakers fan and I agree with most of it. Look at how little it has changed. Oh well.

So you just wanted to post about how dumb you are ten days after the thread died. Gotcha.

Nor would I, but there has to be some added pressure from the fanbase in general on the players to stay together as a team: "We'll show everyone how this team responds to all this unfair negativity!" or "Our players would never bail out on the school!" Perhaps there is also some...

The same fans who won't be cheering for any team in the postseason anyway? I wouldn't want to play in Sandusky's shadow either.

Well a new article went out today that apparently proves my opinion that the NCAA was scared to use the death penalty in this case was wrong. PSU was facing a likely 4 year ban plus steeper fines if they didn't accept the penalties the NCAA had laid out. I find myself having no sympathy for PSU but ...

Id hardly call it a pout Simon, my sides have been hurting the whole time from the delusion.

I'm sure they fully intend to return it to display, though in a relatively discreet location, in a few years. How about where they keep the urinals and toilets in the boys' locker room, with a sign hung around its neck saying "This man was an accessory and facilitator of rape in this very plac...

Is there any precedent for vacated wins being restored to a team even? I don't think the NCAA would do that without some pretty extreme circumstances.

Is it that difficult to read the first two pages of this thread Simon? Because I'm not going to do it for you. Because until mightytom stepped in with Masturbatory fantasies about a resurrection (and your subsequent pointless defense) there was actually some of the most realistic firefly talk id eve...

As pointed out on TYT, the University has over 1.2 billion dollars in it's endowment and it's received over a hundred million in donations in the last seven years and with this fine I have no question the PSU alumni who defend it are going to cut the check to cover it before it even touches the Uni...

Addition to the previous post: Just to show how close PSU was to the "death penalty", here's an article which gives some background to the recent decision. UNIVERSITY PARK — Faced with the prospect of the death penalty for his school’s football program, Rodney Erickson signed the agreement...

I've been following this loosely but what I've learned today is that harboring and supporting a child molester for over a dacade won't get you the death penalty but sneaking your players money and benefits will. Good to know that the NCAA would rather I rape children than pay my players on the down...

See, the problem I have is that you're having more fun gloating about "no one's gonna plunk down big $" than you are hearing what people are saying. The long posts come out of your general tone and just fixation on "anything Firefly would cost big $, no one will ever think about spen...

The CCGs aren't technically considered post-season play, since not every conference has one. USC was banned from the initial game by the PAC-12, not by the sanctions. Correct but as I said what I'm not sure about is if said ban was automatic (conference rule saying ineligble bowl schools can't comp...

Obviously if what I'm saying was nonsense then Firefly would be on the air or at the very least mightytom wouldn't have written a TLDR essay explaining why I'm wrong that Firefly is dead even though other people in the thread plus yourself have been agreeing despite being fans of the show (also the ...

No need to respond since my point seems to be proving itself.

Let it go, be happy that you even got a full season and a movie.

Tsyroc in this case for whatever reason the Big Ten felt the need to announce theconference title ban, maybe conference bylaws are different? But the Big 10 is also taking away PSUs share of bowl revenue. These were tough sanctions, the financial penalties make it in my mind equivalent to a death pe...

Thousands of people punished? I assume you mean the students who won't get to watch football games and cheer for a team (boo hoo, this is not some inalienable college right) or perhaps the businesses who profit off of PSU football games (who wouldn't be profiting as much if PSU football had taken a ...

Yeah but considering the salaries coaches command at other programs of similar stature that's still pretty cheap, even for 2001. The point is that the rumors surrounding Sandusky were gaining momentum and keeping him from jobs even before he "retired", I don't know if there is a more promi...

Dude in ideal conditions you should be able to do Boston to Charleston in less than two days, assuming stopping for the night and rest stops. You could power through it though in about a day if you really wanted.

That's because for a long time it was assumed that he would take over for Paterno when he retired. Why take a job elsewhere when such a plum job is waiting for you if you stay put? That depends, a reporter covering the Freeh report out here mentioned that Sanudsky didn't even get much consideration...

Not to mention the fact that Sandusky wasn't even considered for head coaching jobs anywhere else, one would think such a highly decorated assistant would have had a nice selection of head coaching opportunities.

I freely admit that I like to get the goat of overzealous firefly fans because its so easy but the point stands as always, the show never generated enough traffic to be a big budget series on a major network. Episode order aside, that's something only diehards point to in retrospect, if the show bha...

Yeah FOX must be stupid for not wanting to produce an expensive show that did not do well in the ratings. Obviously the deep love of the show by all 300 of its fans was worth losing a million or two here and there.

So stupid.

Except that Family Guy got resurrected because the show started making money again via the DVD, plus it lasted long enough to being with to be syndicated. Firefly never showed Fox it could make money even though they got a second chance with the movie. But hey keep holding on to that dream maybe? Ma...
