But before I go, another thought on what this thread is all about--yet again.
Because of you pen state trolls, both within this thread and your ever-present, always unwanted brethren in nearly every thread, I will once again remind the HR faithful of what we are witnessing with the pen stater trolls--who are apparently now comprising about 40% of all HR posts.
The last I spoke on the matter, I was no longer allowed to bring up the comparison between the constant pen stater trolls on HR and the same folks back in Happy Valley who used the same tactics when the whole Sandusky crimes/denials/cover-ups were so abundant. Yes, the pen staters who post here are the same trolls who used the same logic and tactics we saw and still see regarding the Sandusky pedophile cover-ups/denials.
They want to pretend all is well and want to validated by fans within a clean program, with a legitimate history. Why else would they inundate this site?
This thread, to this point anyway, is classic pen state fiction and trolling 101. It is filled with many of the same sort of Sandusky like denials, half-truths and outright lies. Look at pen states recent history and closely review the Sandusky debacle. It mirrors many of the posts in this thread by the good pen state folk. We know the drill and it played out here as always: deny the facts, deny events ever even happened, twist the truth, and then accuse the victim until the truth is actually revealed--which in this thread is ISU if you hadn't figured it out, as just one example--and then claim, after the fact, KNOWING ABOUT the CRIME and NOT ADDRESSING it is in no way CONNECTED to the CRIME itself. Of course not. Not in their polluted, trolling minds.
I took a self imposed break from the HR, but this thread was worth the comment. I know many HR regulars view the pen state trolls as necessary. I know many liberally use the ignore button. I know there are 2 or 3 decent pen state posters--not involved in this thread, by the way. I've heard from many HR regulars that the pen state crowd of posting trolls add so much perspective to the sport and our site. But come on. 40-50% of this thread is composed of pen state trolls and troll apologists. Enough is enough. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Stand up to these trolls in every thread.
Or leave it all to the trolls, like I did. Come back in a month or so and see it for what it is.
(At least MSU158 and the other HR regulars in this particular thread have the balls to take on these Sandusky like trolls. Keep up the good fight; it doesn't go unnoticed.)
