I posted this last week on the story about the honoring of Joe last weekend and it got burried. We have to do something. I heard on NPR friday that 90% of PSU alumni think it is time to move on and honor joe. It may be too late for a banner this year but we have to do something.
We need to send a clear message that the world knows #JoeKnew and maybe they will eventually realize it.
So I propose we to do a crowd source fundraiser to get a banner flown over the Big House 9/24. It should simply saying #JoeKnew. Hopefully we can make this an annual event or even make the site open to other fans so every game they play will reminded of the truth.
I have no idea on how to start the fundraiser or contract the banner but I am sure some of the great minds here can help us.
I think it is sort of like holocaust or 9/11 deniers we all know they are wrong but don’t have a realistic way to get a message to them. But in the case of PSU, we know where the #JoeKnew deniers will be every Saturday every fall.
Before I posted this I needed to confirm for myself that #JoeKnew. So, I went out and did way to many hours of reading on PSU boards and elsewhere to see if maybe he might not have known. The information I read including theFreeh Reportwas disgusting. I am sad to say it is clear that the only he could not have know is if he was so stupid that could not tie his own shoes. We all know he had a brilliant mind and was very good at coaching football so he had to know.
My reading also made me realize that for any sports program with a super loyal fan base like PSU, Michigan, or many others this type of delusion is possible. If that ever happens to us I am sure other members of conference would go to any length possible to make us see the truth, so we have to do this.
Am I concerned about this being bulletin board material to fire up PSU against us for years? NO I strongly believe that most in the program now know or at least have a small hunch that #JoeKnew so it would be self defeating to use this topic to fire up any team.
Assuming, this post is allowed to stay, I don’t get banned forever, and we succeed in getting the banner flown how long do we keep doing this. I would suggest that we do it until 24 months after the last attempt to get the statue placed anywhere on PSU campus.

We need to do something about the delusional Penn State fans. A few weeks ago when I saw the post about a petition to get the Joe Pa statue back http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/penn-state-lettermen-petitions-return-paterno-statue-because-he-didnt-do-anything-wrongI was sick to my stomach.
Then I found: http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/psu-alums-erect-new-joepa-statue, this made it clear that many people are in denial about what a Joe Pa allowed to happen under his watch.
