Business as Usual.......SANDUSKY!!!
Sept 1, 2012
The Crowd cheered as the Penn State Nittany Lions raced out onto the field for the beginning of a New and wonderful Season full of promise even though due to some "nastiness" it would not lead to anything but the scheduled games. No Post Season Bowl Games or any chances of a National Title......Nevertheless, the mood was positive and festive as the crowd cheered, screamed and waved their arms in the air.
Then during the silence of the Traditional Pre-Game Prayer some unexpected awful event happened when some person screamed "SANDUSKY!!" several times at the top of their lungs. It was awful and just ruined the moment and set a bad dark cloud over the whole stadium.
As the game went on these "SANDUSKY!!" screams and shouts could be heard all around the Stadium. It was horrible. After the Half Time show when the 3rd quarter resumed it got worse when the drunken student body section began chanting it "SANDUSKY!! SANDUSKY!!" and it seemed to spread to all sections of the Stadium as the good, decent and moral people with families and children began to leave.
At one point the game was stopped and the Officials on the field had the announcer communicate to the crowd that the game would be forfeited if the chanting did not cease. During the announcement the chanting went on and it did not cease but only got louder.
The game was stopped several more times under threat of forfeit but resumed to the end......THIS was the Penn State 2012 season with home and away crowds screaming madly "SANDUSKY!! SANDUSKY!!" and other vile and despicable remarks.
And it proved that No College Football Program, no matter how HIGH and MIGHTY and revered by even its most loyal fans are above the Moral compass of the people or the law......I imagine this chanting will go on for some years to come.....A worse penalty any Commission could ever impose.
Kind of hard to sweep Hundreds of Thousands of pissed off voices under the rug isn't it?
