Mostly, my prayers are with the victims.  I can't imagine.

That press conference was painful and PSU had some very unprofessional media members in that room. It's clear that some were far more concerned about Penn State football than anything else, and that attitude is probably why things got to this point in the first place.

Never seen anything like that presser.  Very grim in that room.  PSU students apparently rioting.  :frown:

The media members in that room should be ashamed of themselves.  Kudos to the BOT spokesman.

At least one sounded like a student reporter for whatever the PSU school rag is.  At least two others had agendas of a social nature. 
I lovwed the question along the lines of "did the probability of riots factor into your discussions?" :rolleyes:

The right thing was done. Now hopefully the focus can be back on the perpetrator.

CNN is now showing live shots from campus.  Thousands of students are out demonstrating, but I wouldn't call it a riot...yet.

UT students know how to riot.

That's a reflection of the PSU fans. Reading their comments over the last few days has made me sick. I know it's natural for fans to defend their coach to the bitter end, but wow...football is trumping what happened to those kids right now in PA.

Yeah earlier reports were greatly exagerated...by the media of course.    :rolleyes:

If we can't teach them proper rioting, then coul we suggest WVU?
