• Question:-Has Penn State (Graham Spanier and Tim Curley) lost it's mind or it's Sack?
  Penn State had a great year! However they have underachieved for 2 decades. Why reward Joepa with a contract? It's crazy watching Ohio State recruit the best players in Pa.
  
  Answer:-Joe Pa is college football. The NFL loves Joe Pa because he turns out players and quality people. Not all have been great, but those that make it play a long time. He may be a better coach today than he was 10 years ago. One thing he has taught us all, is football is fundamentals, execution and teamwork. Qualities you will not get out of many programs.
• Question:-Joe Paterno will be forced to retire NOW and not coach Saturday?
  According to the local news here in Philly Graham Spanier has resigned and now Paterno will not finish out the season. How will you remember Paterno 10 years from now? I think what he is at this moment is how I will remember him.

  Incident at PSU: Apologies, skepticism
  By Eric Heyl
  PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW
  Sunday, November 21, 2010
  
  
  Some people doubted the appalling incident occurred.
  
  Others were shocked and upset that it did.
  
  There was no shortage of reaction to last Sunday's column about an interracial couple from Greensburg who were harassed at a recent Penn State University football game.
  
  Retired Marines Linda Baker, 45, who is white, and husband, Bobby Baker, 44, who is black, repeatedly endured racist taunts from some Beaver Stadium fans and left the game early. The N-word figured prominently in the insults people hurled at them.
  
  The Bakers' story brought to my e-mail inbox anticipated reaction from the lunatic fringe of Penn State followers. A contingent of fans evidently believes the Bakers are the driving force behind a sinister worldwide conspiracy to disparage the beloved Nittany Lions.
  
  Several accused the Bakers of fabricating or exaggerating their story.
  
  "That sort of unprovoked effluvia might happen at a Steeler game, but I doubt it from a PSU crowd," one alum wrote. "(This) just doesn't ring right with me. I don't think (the Bakers are) telling the entire scenario."
  
  Wrote another: "I find it difficult to believe that the Bakers' experience at Penn State was racially charged from start to finish. Sure does sound to me like the race card, but we disagree on the party playing it."
  
  So let's see. Two military veterans who moved to Western Pennsylvania to care for ailing parents have nothing better to do with their time than to report a detailed account of racial harassment to university officials.
  
  The e-mails from the maniacal thankfully were countered by a number of conciliatory communiques.
  
  "I sincerely apologize for my fellow alumni and future alumni for acting in this immature and racist fashion," one fan wrote. "True Blue-and-White fans would welcome (the Bakers') company."
  
  A season ticketholder stated he was "appalled, shocked and embarrassed" over the taunting.
  
  "I doubt (the Bakers) would consider ever visiting Penn State again," he wrote. "But if they would, our group would be happy to entertain them at our tailgate, and ensure that they are seated with people who will not allow a repeat of their first experience."
  
  Those messages touched the Bakers, as did letters from Penn State President Graham Spanier and legendary football Coach Joe Paterno.
  
  "Both my husband and I are extremely grateful for the apologetic and understanding responses that we received from so many from Penn State," Linda Baker said. "We don't think that everyone from PSU or State College is racist. Although the comments were many, we know that the majority (of fans) were there to enjoy the game like we were."
  
  That doesn't mean the Bakers plan to make a downpayment on Nittany Lion season tickets.
  
  "But I'm beginning to soften my stance about PSU and State College," Linda Baker said. "How could I not, especially after so many people have reached out to us in a genuinely concerned and caring manner?"

  Answer:-You are stretching it a bit, aren't you? There is no proof it hap[pened and there is nothing that says the people involved if it did happen were republicans. It would be like saying that the democrats supported the actions of a group of black kids beating a white couple while shouting "it's a black world", which did happen by the way.

• Question:-is it true that Andy Rooney said on tv I don't believe that being a member of a minority group makes you a vi?
  makes you a victim of anything but numbers.
  
  Answer:-That sounds like something he'd say.
• Question:-Did andy rooney make the comment on tv starting with I don't think minorities are the victims of anything but?
  are just a victim of numbers.
  
  Answer:-Rooney has occasionally been accused by critics of insensitive use of ethnic and racial labels.[citation needed] In a 2002 commentary, Rooney addressed the use of the term Negro this way:
  “ Our thoughts about words change over the years. In 1968, I wrote a television show called Black History, Lost, Stolen or Strayed for Bill Cosby. I remember being uneasy with the word black because the acceptable word back then was Negro. Today, I wouldn't use Negro. It's a good, strong word, but now it sounds wrong to me.
  
  Different ethnic groups of Americans have always had terrible nicknames for each other. I remember hearing them as a kid. You don't hear them much anymore because they always make the person using them sound like such ignorant jerks.
  ”
  
  —Andy Rooney, [17]
  
  He also wrote a column in 1992 that it was "silly" for Native-Americans to complain about team names like the Redskins saying, "The real problem is, we took the country away from the Indians, they want it back and we're not going to give it to them. We feel guilty and we'll do what we can for them within reason, but they can't have their country back. Next question."[18]
  
  In a recent column for Tribune media services, he wrote, "I know all about Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, but today's baseball stars are all guys named Rodriguez to me." Rooney later commented, "Yeah, I probably shouldn't have said it, [but] it's a name that seems common in baseball now. I certainly didn't think of it in any derogatory sense."[18]
  
  Rooney has always denied that he is a racist. In the 1940s, he was arrested after sitting in the back of a segregated bus in protest.[19] Also, in 2008, Rooney applauded the fact that "the citizens of this country, 80 percent of whom are white, freely chose to elect a black man as their leader simply because they thought he was the best choice." He said that makes him proud, and that it proves that the country has "come a long way - a good way."[20]
• Question:-Regarding excessive human desire, is Andy Rooney really onto something here?
  At the end of the Sixty Minutes program that aired on Sunday, April 18th, Andy Rooney spoke about excessive human desire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7H3fZtXrt4.
  
  Wasn't he onto something that merits further discussion?
  
  Answer:-Wow. That was very good. Sounds like Clockwork Orange a little.
  I doubt a pill could be created, though, but who knows.
  
  Some excessive desire is not really that bad, like overeating or too much sex. They just hurt the individual involved. It's the making too much money part that ruins lives (that's why we're in the mess we're in now, of course). But if you say that, you'd get called the S-word. a Socialist.
• Question:-Do you agree with this Andy Rooney quote?
  This isn't a project for school, or anything...I'm just curious.
  
  Agree or disagree?
  "The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong."
  
  Providing examples is a plus.
  
  Answer:-I would say that 'I' have a 90% probability of getting a 50-50 question RIGHT. That's me of course. Comes with maturity and comon scence
