When Scottie Montgomery was hired, he thought Eastern Carolina was a shoe in for the next invitation to join the MAC.

That's fine, but to destroy him in a thread isn't warranted. I (and many others from what I can tell) are of the opinion he did more good than harm in his time here, so I wanted to point that out.

I'd rather be wrong than eat overpriced, no options cult food.

She was called a "clueless treacherous traitor" and told to resign from the paper or transfer to another university. She was accused of hating her university and hating football, and knowing nothing about Penn State history. She was called an idiot — by a teaching assistant at a Catholic school, no less — and other words that I can't use here.

One man wrote, "I hope God can forgive you for your actions, I sure the hell can't."

The vitriol threw Davis off, especially because so many of the attacks, including personal ones, came from graduates from the 1950s, '60s and '70s.

This wasn't educated debate. It was parents and grandparents with pitchforks decrying Davis's and the newspaper's thoughtful opinion — all to protect a man who may have enabled Sandusky's crimes by not acting to stop them. Testimony in one lawsuit claimed that Paterno was told as far back as 1976 that Sandusky was abusing a child.

It was groupthink at its worst: typical blind allegiance of college sports fans, who so often toss aside reason in the name of big-ticket sports at their alma mater. Penn State's decision to honor Paterno is a manifestation of that.

And this right here is it. The overwhelming majority of Penn St fans and alumni don't think they did anything wrong, and openly attack anyone who dares to say otherwise. To them, Joe Paterno was completely railroaded, Penn St was made a massive scapegoat, and they're still not fully convinced that Jerry Sandusky actually did what he was accused of doing, and even if he did, he did it without the knowledge of anyone else. They believe this, and will cling to this to their graves.

Penn St football should have been forced to shut down based on what happened. They value football over everything, and it doesn't matter that a football coach was caught raping children in the football showers, and it doesn't matter that the head football coach actively covered it up, allowing it to continue for 40 years because had anything been done, it would have tarnished football. Football took, and still takes priority at Penn State above all else, and if you try and get in the way of the superiority of it, YOU are the problem, and you need to be dealt with.

Fuck them and anyone who associates with them. Honestly, I'm kind of disgusted we have them on our future schedule. I want nothing to do with that program from here on out.

I enjoy trips to Blacksburg or away games with the wife. Would make great anniversary trips.

Well, the NCAA won't allow us to play Blacksburg High to try to improve our strength of schedule.

Vote with your conscience

1Ford is 22 votes behind Noah Brown and 42 votes behind Mike Gesicki!!

Pinning the ball behind a defender is damn impressive, but double coverage for a TD? C'mon!

I guess that makes UVa the SEC's Liberty

Well, to be fair, VT schedules them every year.

Week 3 Update. Thanks for letting the cat out of the hypothetical bag, Chazz.

The folks from The Acronym located in everyone's second least-favorite Bristol do, in fact, have our Hokies finishing up at 7-5 despite the complete dismantling of Boston College. We can expect a similar shellacking to be handed to the fighting Broncos (coincidentally blue and orange, and mind-bottlingly still less than 100 percent chance of victory) and have an increased odds of winning each game.

We're coming for you, Louisville.

I voted for Isaiah but I got it wrong. Noah Brown's catch will probably still be the catch of the year at the end of the season
