Yep, I read that article too. I think you might have edited for effect

His parents knew Jerry Sandusky. Denny worked for the now-disgraced Second Mile organization for a year.

Like a lot of folks, they never realized the degree of Sandusky's evil.

"It was a complete shock to me and everybody in State College," Denny said.

Perhaps no coach in the country, then, better knows how football can become too big to fail -- until it does.

"It's just like my alma mater," Matt Rhule said. "You look at what's happened that maybe went wrong. You learn from it, you identify it, but you move on. You always have an eye to the future but you always honor the past."
I don’t believe anything in those quotes.

Where reasonable doubt is present, trust is void.

On the eve of the first ever 12-team playoff, pennst proved, counter to the flowery prose you posted, college football can in fact be too big to fail
 
Our coach wasn’t just any old walk-on

His parents knew Jerry Sandusky. Denny Rhule (Matt’s father) worked for the now-disgraced Second Mile organization for a year.

The very org that funneled kids to the position coach for decades

Yes, I think many, many players stayed silent. As they were wont to do when approached with the alternative (being laughed at, never playing football again, ect.)


His parents knew Jerry Sandusky.. What parent of what player didn't know Jerry Sandusky? Please, tell us alll!!!
It seem that you know everything about Pedo U? How do we know you didn't know something and didn't say anything?

So you've had this stance from the instant Rhule was hired? You've never once supported him and have believed him to be knowingly complicit in the Sandusky scandal from day 1?

Just to clarify.

So you think the players at Penn State knew and did nothing? You think Sandusky abused players, as other players knew and did nothing? You think Matt Rhule is complicit in the child abuse at PSU?
The grand jury specifically cites 1994-1997 as the years during which Sanduskys transgressions via the Second Mile Foundation took place

Does anybody know when our coach played there?

So for the third time.

You believe the players, specifically our coach, knew about the abuse and said and did nothing? You also think players were abused and no one said or did anything? That is what you actually believe?

He'll say yes. This is what he does. He said something crazy and I questioned it. He never backs down, he just keeps going until everyone is exhausted and we move on.

Here is a post from me expressing that very worry in response to a pennst fan on the very day it was announced he was hired:

Here’s hoping he learned nothing from the hell-bound serial criminals who coached him at your dirtbag school

So, yes.

I think Mike Mcreary likely told his peers what he saw, yes. It’s what anyone would do.

None of them came forward.

Rhule went to pennst from 1994-1997, his dad worked for the foundation during that time and himself comes from an industry fraught with child abuse.

Thus, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that there’s more to it than what’s been published.
 
That quote is light years from what you're saying in this thread.
Is it?

I’m not accusing anyone of anything

I’m simply saying those who believe it to be impossible that Rhule would employ a person who comes to work drunk and yells at a player have a lot to ignore (he has been made to dismiss multiple coaches for alcohol and sexual transgressions weeks prior to every season he’s been here) in order to do so

And I’m simultaneously saying players have stayed silent after witnessing much worse for much longer

Has Rhule been forced to fire a coach at Nebraska for an alcohol-related offense?

Y/N

Have players stayed silent after witnessing physical or verbal abuse from a coach while playing college football?

Y/N

How you can sit here and say it’s impossible that satt did the things he’s accused of given the above is impressive blind loyalty

You can play for me any day, Headcard.

You don't think Rhule is going to cut it at Nebraska. Understandable. Artificially tying him to the PSU pedophile story is insane. You need help.

We do live in a society where mostly good people have a hard time wrapping their mind around shit that violates their own moral compass. Evil does exist, and for most of us, pedophilia of those younger is right near the top.

Those that commit it, those that are in a position to stop it, or those who know it is happening and do nothing to stop it all share in the blame. In football, I suppose if you want your career to end suddenly for you, maybe you ignore it or just shut your mouth.

In England, Jimmy Saville molested 100's of boys over the years and paid no price. He was a celebrity and was in the inner circle with that inbred Royal family. In that instant, he was bigger than anyone, with the Royal family's ability to cover it up and destroy anyone who tried to report it and take him down.

It's a disgusting practice that ruin's many young people's lives. There are known pedophiles at the very top of governments and entertainment around the world. We live in the age of decadence which is always the last thing to surge before an empire collapses.

Do I think Satt came to work drunk and said nasty shit? No.

MM didn’t tell his peers he reported to his direct supervisor his HC Joe Paterno . Joe Pa then reported this to his supervisor the Athletic director.

There is nothing artificial about the following:

1994-1997 – According to the grand jury report, Sandusky allegedly engages in inappropriate conduct with three different boys he met separately through the Second Mile program.

Matt Rhule played for Sandusky from 1994-1997.

Matt Rhule’s father worked for that very foundation for a year during that exact timeframe.

That’s all.
 
Do you think it’s possible that could’ve happened?

Or a 0% chance?
I'm a guy who happens to think "anything" is possible. Do we know if Satt was/is a problem drinker?
We know lots of guys who would tie one on after being public humiliated like Satt was. To be honest, I have paid close to zero attention (only what has been said in this thread) to whatever the narrative is supposed to be, I'm just talking about things that are possible.

If Satt was drunk and did say that he hated EJ, ONE of them would have been sent packing, because if true that would be an untenable situation for a football team, especially with a white coach and a black athlete.

Until someone with personal knowledge comes forward and confirms or totally refutes it, we won't know.

Coaches do ride players asses, but being under the influence when you do it would/should result in termination.
 
Kong is getting exactly what he wants, he thrives on trolling Husker fans more than any Iowa fan ever attempted. But this time he has really jumped the shark. It’s sad. And I’m not just saying this to troll him.

It’s plain as day in this thread more than any other. I suggest people stop responding to him, giving him what he wants.

Right about now Kong is saying to the person next to him, “Hold my beer”.
I rest my case.

This is called a “conversation”, Tim.

You should try it some time.

Rhule has already been forced to fire a coach here for alcohol related transgressions.

Many people - sadly - have been made to stay silent after witnessing objectionable behavior.

It is what it is.

FWIW, EJ wouldn’t be the first person to successfully blackmail an organization, either.

Kicking around possibilities of what may or may not have happened is just another day in the world of Husker football.

Lots of players, many of whom actually played, are entering and going to continue to enter the portal. Many of them will enter the portal and we won't know why, nor will we care, its not any of our business, but in this case, exploring if it did or didn't happen can affect the overall team.

A lot of these players are gonna leave and frankly, we don't care because they had a chance to make their mark and they didn't. Someone who was likely a starter, had played a lot lately, suddenly wants to leave, cause curiosity.
Did he get more money, etc all plays in the thing. Or did something happen that caused him to want to leave?

Others that played a lot and left, did so without much attention. I have no idea who even came up with the Satt/EJ narrative?

Dwight Schrute: “Un shun”.

Sadly, it isn’t a conversation. It’s you banging a drum and telling everyone who disagrees how naive and stupid they are.

You have one goal. Say the most outlandish things possible that will rile up Husker nation and see who all bites.

That is not a conversation. That is a troll job. Everyone knows it.

I think suggesting EJ is blackmailing the University is a total stretch. At a minimum, they could have fired Satt for cause and enticed EJ to stay with a Non DIsclosure of course. We don't know if anything even happened.

The last thing this school needs is a story like that which our competitors would use against us for any kid we were going after in the portal.

I think its more likely EJ tested the waters and found he isnt as attractive as he and his agent may have thought. None of us blame a kid for trying to get more dough since that's what college football has become, right?

I hope its just a bullshit made up story that goes away so we can get ready to play and then Satt on his way in Feb.

I don't mind trolling with kong.

Yep.

It's entirely possible Satterfield doesn't drink, the rumored interaction never took place, and the entire thing was made up by someone trying to explain away why EJ would hit the portal.

Here's my proof:


It's exactly equivalent to the amount of proof that has been presented up here that any of this occurred.

I am open to all possibilities

There’s certainly proof of at least one member of Rhule’s staff having issues with alcohol that led to a serious consequence in the not so distant past
 
Matt Rhule did not happily participate in a sex trafficking ring and does not wax poetic about it. He is allowed to have taken something from his time playing football in a college football program. Every person that played for Joe Paterno and Jerry Sandusky is not guilty by association.

Funny how we can make those assumptions when it fits our narrative huh. Sometimes I think guys like that dude lives to troll. People buy into it and actually take him serious.

Once I figured out the MO last year with the HH at QB stuff I just laughed from a distance.

Back to your point now. Anybody who went to, was employed by, or played for Joe Pa at Penn St. shared the same morals as Sandusky and Paterno. They also could've never learned anything to help them in life or had any positive experiences. Lmao...

It's funny that people even consider responding to some of the stuff spewed by him.

Anyways....

No thanks.

Absolutely none of these things have anything to do with that outrageous claims against Satt. There is zero reason to believe them and the only person saying them is mentally ill and has already taken down his video.

But for the sake of drama and/or pushing your own agenda, not only are you choosing to run with these allegations, your are now also accusing our Head Coach of ignoring child sex crimes and accusing our stating RB of blackmailing the University, based on absolutely nothing.
 
I guess my point is something like this would have too much potential for the lid to get blown off. This isn’t behind closed doors, allegedly. It’s in front of numerous teammates. They all remained silent? Looked the other way while this was happening?

And then EJ decided that even though this happened, he will stay at Nebraska? I just find it all hard to believe…
Thousands (millions?) of people can't take a poop or eat a meal without putting it on social media. But a drunken coach berates a player in front of teammates and no one says a thing. Not even players that are leaving. And now the player is staying. Highly unlikely this is what happened.

Not accusing

Not based on nothing - those questions are directly related to the topic at hand

Reading is hard

The claims aren’t that outrageous considering you yourself likely believe our former head coach and recent AD performed their duties drunk at least at some point
 
Too many pages... Come on y'all EJ is back because it's the best spot for him hurt feelings or not. Let's be real, no one was beating down his door to sign him out of the portal. With that being said we still need to hit the portal for another running back because the room is still weak imo.

Playing for Joe Pa was Rhule’s dream come true

So you think he’d have come forward if he’d seen anything out of the ordinary? Or would he have joined the hundreds who stayed silent?

@timnsun says players would have come forward if a coach yelled at a player

I say Rhule himself didn’t come forward when much worse took place in the very shower facility he used after practice every single day

Powerful organizations produce powerful blind allegiances that often last long after lids have been blown off of scandals

Nobody remembers the kids. Everybody stays true to their school (or organization du jour)

To act like this isn’t 100% true is the dictionary definition of willfull ignorance
Just because he played their doesn't mean he had in person knowledge of what was happening. Sandusky wasn't taking advantage of kids while the team was showering. You act like all this was happening while everyone was in the locker room. My time in the service, we had fellow workers get popped for selling drugs, trafficking guns etc. We even had an undercover agent functioning as one of us and none of us knew of any of it till all up and disappeared, even the agent and he was a friend. I never heard from him again. There one day and gone the next.

guess that makes me guilty of selling drugs and gun trafficking. Oh yeah, we also had a TSgt murder a a guy, so I'm guilty of that also. How on earth have I stayed employed by the DoD for over 40 years?
 
Here is a post from me expressing that very worry in response to a pennst fan on the very day it was announced he was hired:



So, yes.

I call BS!

Here's your initial post in the Press Conference thread on Rhule's hire talking about "butt funneling kool-aid".

king_kong_:
Trev had to have hated frost's guts lol

should just be saying: "we want the opposite of the guy we had"

I am getting ready to butt funnel kool-aid
