WSU151 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I actually thought the same thing when I saw this yesterday...the eyes and teeth are eerily similar...very creepyThere's no similarity. Sandusky doesn't have four canine fangs showing and nothing else. And the eyes are only similar because they are round and have reflection of light. Cool. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evanmaldonado Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Just slap this sucker on a White helmet and call it good:(Nobody panic. This is a Youth Mark.)Maybe it's just me who sees the similarity.What year did that debut? They may very well have crafted that character's facial structure after Sandusky in homage to him prior to being disgraced.Seriously? Seriously? Come on, man. That's crazy, some of y'all mofos are just grasping at straws now.Seriously, you don't see it?There's nothing similar about the lion and Sandusky. You want to see something that isn't there.Why would I want to see a pedophile in a child's logo? Personally I see a distinct similarity with the Nittany Lion and Sandusky. You don't and that's perfectly acceptable. I wish I didn't see it, but I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I think a formal change to Pennsylvania State University for sports would be a nice way for a new beginning. But that's from someone thousands of miles away with no connection whatsoever to the college.Even if they did make that the "official" name, nobody would call it that. Nobody calls the academic side of things "Pennsylvania State" either.True. Still many people out there saying Pitt instead of Pittsburgh.But, if you say it, eventually, it will become the norm. Has to start somewhere. Growing up I never remember THE Ohio State University. It was just Ohio State. But, at some point people started referring to it as THE and that became the norm.I bet if the Penn Staters in the NFL started referring to it as The Pennsylvania State University for their starting lineup intros on TV, it would begin to catch on.

Pennsylvania State University is waaaay to much of a mouthful to ever get much traction. That's the very sizable hurdle.

Ask somebody who they're playing or where they go to school and you'll probably get "Ohio State" as the answer. And there's no reason to go away from saying Penn State. Pennsylvania State is just a mouthful and would never catch on. PSU would be fine, but Penn State is less syllables and just easier to say.

BroadSt_Bully Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I should add – the original nickname for, what was then, the Pennsylvania State College was "Pennsy State." It was used in a lot of early class cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadSt_Bully Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Well, it's official.For the first time in 126 years of Penn State football, names will be on the backs of the jerseys. No indication at this time whether it's solely for one season, or a permanent addition.http://www.gopsusports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/080712aaa.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have every right to be upset and angry at Penn State; however, the folks who are hijacking this thread aren't angry at all; they're mental midgets who think they're being funny by posting barbs. There is nothing humorous about child abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
