Interesting that in the statement from the PS4R Group, not a single mention of all the children abused by Sandusky and covered up. Again, focusing only on football. Pretty disgusting. Penn State thinks the football program and the school were the actual victims in this, which is just out of this world. These people are crazy and just another reason to watch your child closely at the game on the 10th.

Pitt should really do canning at the PITT/PSU game to support charities that help prevent or targets individuals doing child abuse.

September 1, 2016 ---- Penn State President Eric Barron today announced that the university will commemorate the 50th anniversary of Joe Paterno’s first game as Penn State head coach during the Temple football game on September 17, 2016. This represents the university's tacit admission that the "conclusions" of the Freeh Report were wrong. However, we will accept this recognition of Joe on September 17 as only the first of many steps necessary to repair the needless damage caused by the unwarranted condemnation of Joe and the entire Penn State community. The university must explicitly repudiate Freeh's bogus "conclusions," which were improperly influenced by outside forces acting against Penn State's interests, including the NCAA and the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General. The university must publicly state that Paterno handled the report that was made to him in precisely the manner required by the university, and apologize to the Paterno family. We also encourage Penn State to join the Paterno family in their action against the NCAA, which sought to "leverage" the Freeh Report to extort the university. Finally, the university must apologize to the entire Penn State community for allowing Freeh to smear our entire culture with his outrageous statements about our priorities. Penn State must take these steps to begin to repair the damage done.

They must feel real nervous about Temple if they're pulling out all the stops like this. Stripe out, Joe appreciation; they must really want the home field advantage that day. I thought they saved this stuff for their mighty B1G friends :)

just maybe their doing this to take away the sting of a loss to our Panthers the week before. Give the locals something to smile about...:)

Heck yeah. Or maybe, they want some wins early on so when they get pummeled in the B1G East, Jimmy will have enough wins to get another season.

NOBODY here --- not PSU fans, not Pittsburgh fans, not the national commentators --- knows exactly what this "commemoration" will exactly look like on 17-September.

Let's just wait and see. I'd honestly anticipate something very low-key: JoePa's former players (many of the players are already going to be in town that weekend for some pre-existing Letterman Club function) coming out on the field in between the 1st and 2nd quarters with an acknowledgment that today is the exact 50-year anniversary of Paterno's coaching debut.

I'm not a "Paterno Loyalist", but something like above --- what would be the big deal about that?

Anyway, that's one Penn Stater's thoughts. Wait and see is kind of a boring opinion, but it is mine.
