clyde may be right. It is a position I have never been put in. We would all like to think we'd do the right thing. That's pretty much it. It's pure speculation as to whether we would or not. Personally if I was a boss and one of my employees said he saw a creepy retiree raping a child. I would tell my employee...."you need to call the police and tell them what you saw." I am pretty much certain I would not call the police in that scenario if I look at it honestly. I really didn't see anything. Of course no two scenarios are exactly alike. And this Penn State situation perhaps had a lot more involved and cover up than the situation I described.

Joe knew...at least since 1998. They all knew. I don't know how anyone can question that he covered it up and what his motives were for doing so.

He could have helped so many kids. Shame on him and everyone else that enabled this predator.

In hindsight, McQueary should have beaten the holy living crap out of Sandusky in the shower and called Officer Hill of the campus police! (that's the guy who questioned me in 1985 (shenanigans by someone I guess), not sure if Hill still around in '02!) I think that probably would have been the end of Sandusky's activities right there. McQueary's still the one I can't figure out in this whole thing. He's the one that actually saw it.

Not hard to figure out. Sandusky was almost as big a legend as Joe Pa himself.

He was not some slap dick defensive coordinator ... he was a guy who could have had a head coaching job almost anywhere if he wanted it.

I believe you are likely right on that account. Which would account for the sudden Sandusky exit after 1999 season. It is killing me this whole thing. 4 of the best years of my life were spent at that place seeing over 20 games in Happy Valley at Beaver Stadium and my late Dad bought me the airplane ticket to go see the 1987 Fiesta Bowl National Championship game...i bought the ticket to the game...won a lottery in the student ticket thing!! Walking through local stores and seeing the "all proceeds go to Jerry's Kids" thing. The crreepiness level to me personally is beyond the pale. so sad. All of it. Believe me Sandusky was just as loved and worshipped as Paterno especially after the 1986 National Championship game. That was Sandusky's shining moment. Just sick.
