PSU Gouged Patterson's Eye in Pile
I mean we all know piles can get nasty, but I gotta agree with Runyan here that eye gouging seems a bit much
October 23rd, 2019 at 12:22 PM ^
hoping to get a Faux Mo reply to this post

Yeah that's fucked up. I mean that player has something mentally wrong with him, he's unstable. You can damage someone for life, and he's an adult that knows that.
And this entire "what goes on at the bottom of a pile in football" stuff is nonsense. I played for years (high school and below), was at the bottom of many piles, and we all just kind of, you know, got up. Because we were sane humans. The two guys fighting over the ball ripped at it, yelled, pushed as we were all pulled apart. But nobody pinched or punched or grabbed or tried to break anything. I think there are dumb players who hear stories of that happening, think that's what they're supposed to do, and are mentally unstable enough to do it rather than say "that would be insane."
It's supposed to be a game of respect between opponents who are already playing a very violent game. Cheap shots don't make the sport tougher. And are we trying to protect players or not? Suspend that kid.
October 23rd, 2019 at 11:00 AM ^
Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. I mean if they were truly gouging that could have done serious long term damage to Patterson's eyes. I mean something like getting your junk grabbed is something that would suck in the moment, but isn't going to fuck up anything long term.

I'm getting the vibe that cups are a thing of the past?
October 23rd, 2019 at 12:32 PM ^
I was in high school quite a while ago now and very few guys on the team wore a cup. Hell even my college baseball team only the catchers and maybe half of the infielders wore one. Baseball infielders, playing on shitty surfaces and not wearing a cup was always mind blowing to me.
October 23rd, 2019 at 6:12 PM ^
yeah I think that warrants an apology from Franklin. and if they can figure out who did it, that kid should be suspended for a game at least.
October 23rd, 2019 at 11:02 AM ^
I'm liking the developing rivalry with Penn State. Pretty evenly matched programs at this point.
October 23rd, 2019 at 11:11 AM ^
No, we will never grant them rivalry status. They will always be an afterthought.
October 23rd, 2019 at 11:04 AM ^
That wasn't obvious? He came out complaining to the officials of precisely that, with the cameras on him. Then he went to the sideline and sat with tears draining from his right eye. No, the announcers weren't interested, but I thought that was pretty clear.
October 23rd, 2019 at 11:08 AM ^
I mean, he came out from the pile with a lot of blinking and you saw him on the sideline dealing with some vision issues (or at least being checked out). I get that football is rough and piles are gross, but like, gouging a guy's eye is shitty and shouldn't be condoned. I'm sure Michigan has been guilty of the same stuff and it doesn't make it right.
October 23rd, 2019 at 11:59 AM ^
Went into the pile with eye black on then came out with it missing. It also looked on one quick camera shot of him he had blood on the face.
But PSU also had a player running around routinely leading with the head at Michigan ball carriers and the refs never made a call to protect the players.
October 23rd, 2019 at 11:15 AM ^
I am honestly surprised they didn't invite Shea's eye and eye socket back to the showers first before they tried to molest them. Seeing as no one cares about all the previous raping and molesting, it looks like they have become more brazen and just do it out in public now.
October 23rd, 2019 at 11:31 AM ^
So at ped state, the fine tradition of males sticking their body parts and hands into other males continues!!!
I hate these bastards more and more each year!!!
BTW, FUCK ped state and all their delusional joepa loving fans and all the paternos and field goal franklin!!!
October 23rd, 2019 at 12:35 PM ^
It's possible that one of the players thought it was a brown eye and stuck his tallywhacker in it out of excitement.
October 23rd, 2019 at 4:55 PM ^
Doubtful given the length required.
October 23rd, 2019 at 11:52 AM ^
Should be like punching someone ... automatic ejection from the game. Should have been easy to determine which PSU player was the poker when they un-piled Shea (or just ask him).
October 23rd, 2019 at 12:02 PM ^
Exactly Mongo. Deliberate attempt to injure=automatic ejection.
October 23rd, 2019 at 12:37 PM ^
October 23rd, 2019 at 12:44 PM ^
Unless Patterson or one of the other players names him/them we won't know who it is. Patterson just disappeared into a mass of bodies. Like Runyan said in that situation the refs can't really see who it is, Patterson would have had to name them to the official afterward, but even then I don't think they can eject without seeing it themselves. PSU should have had someone ejected for targeting Patterson earlier in the game though.
October 23rd, 2019 at 1:25 PM ^
Well they don’t for violently attempting to twist your head off either, so whatever goes I guess. Our fan base would call our players out as they did Lewan - others: not so much.
October 23rd, 2019 at 11:54 AM ^
I’ve heard from many players that when’s there’s a pile up from a fumble a lot of crazy shit happens
October 23rd, 2019 at 12:49 PM ^
Sort of like when we have subs???
October 23rd, 2019 at 11:56 AM ^
Terrible
Yet it doesn't make the top 25,000 worst things done at that school since they joined the Big 10
October 23rd, 2019 at 12:00 PM ^
Just going back to the old pedo state playbook.
grabbing dicks, eye gouging for a bit of kink.
Pedo State culture.

Someone posted this to the board during the game and get negged to oblivion. Total bush league move from PSU
October 23rd, 2019 at 2:56 PM ^
PSU negged that poster to oblivion?
October 23rd, 2019 at 12:53 PM ^
Well, poking is a PSU expertise.
October 23rd, 2019 at 1:22 PM ^
Typical classless football from a has-been program that will never climb back to the top. Go Blue!!
October 23rd, 2019 at 1:23 PM ^
I got bit at the bottom of a scrum. Hurt like hell and i got 4 stitches
October 23rd, 2019 at 3:30 PM ^
Oooooh biting.... sexy!
October 23rd, 2019 at 1:31 PM ^
I certainly see the problem with this
October 23rd, 2019 at 1:37 PM ^
who remembers the blatant Denard Robinson head twists and nut grabs just during regular tackles by sharty? and how about Robert Reynolds from osu choking the life out the wisconsin QB that time, was so bad he had to leave the game.
October 23rd, 2019 at 1:45 PM ^
fast forward to 21:15 of this clip for the Reynolds-Sorgi incident
October 23rd, 2019 at 3:42 PM ^
That is still the most egregious incident I've ever seen, that was actually caught on TV. It's still hard to believe that creep wasn't kicked off the team; then again look what program we're talking about. Something like that really should be treated like assault and battery, where the perp is hauled off to court for doing it. The Wiscy QB could have been seriously hurt. I think anyone with any kind of brain that functions normally could see that is way outside the bounds of what is considered part of football.
October 23rd, 2019 at 1:42 PM ^
Player safety matters. What if he lost his eye? That's assault and would have to be prosecuted.
October 23rd, 2019 at 2:07 PM ^
ok.... now... if I'm a captain, or a leader on the team, i go after the guy doing the gouging, even if i get booted from game..... take the penalty.. have my backup cover..... SET THE FUCKING TONE.
October 23rd, 2019 at 2:40 PM ^
Last game was the 1st I watched on the Command Center view on ESPN App. 100% better than the normal feed. Cameras picked up on this almost immediately.
I remember a Buckeye trying to tear out Jim Sorgi's trachea on live TV. That was a really ugly scene because it wasn't hidden at all.
***edit, I should have read all of the replies not just page 1. It was covered above***
October 23rd, 2019 at 2:46 PM ^
That sucks and should be punished by the Conference if somehow proveable.
October 23rd, 2019 at 6:48 PM ^
If there’s any video of it, it should be at least a one game suspension, possibly two. Of course that doesn’t help us now. If Franklin is a stand up coach (which he isn’t) he would take it upon himself to suspend the player. I guarantee he knows who did it.
I wonder if this had anything to do with Uche still hitting people when they were taking a knee?
October 23rd, 2019 at 2:49 PM ^
They ARE. Penn St
October 23rd, 2019 at 2:53 PM ^
Linemen are nodding sagely, saying / thinking "Been there, done that, or had that done to me." Still, it's wrong.
October 23rd, 2019 at 3:38 PM ^
You would think that this sort of horrible behavior would be a thing of the distant past. But apparently not. Coaches can NOT tolerate this kind of dangerous crap from their players. It makes you wonder what type of human beings Ped State is recruiting. If I were Jim Harbaugh, I wouldn't want any type of lowlife on my team that would do something like that. And if I were Jim, I'd place a personal phone call to James Franklin about it. Seriously. Tell him that in case he didn't know, he has at least one sub-human on his team that he might want to do something about.
October 23rd, 2019 at 6:10 PM ^
I need names.
Not at all surprising from a school that harbored a pedophile for an eon
also hopefully sparty / dantoni is not taking notes. I put nothing past that school
October 23rd, 2019 at 6:49 PM ^
Shea was a beast after that. It might be in their best interest to leave him alone.
October 23rd, 2019 at 8:38 PM ^
It shouldn’t be hard to narrow it down. Who was in that play, who was not on the pile would eliminate a lot.
October 23rd, 2019 at 9:39 PM ^
I think we can see what is coming for PSU next year in the big house.
October 24th, 2019 at 3:18 AM ^
New most-loathsome swine in college football: a Penn State player.
