You are right.

The truth is that it will be awhile before all this stuff goes away.

Just like it will be awhile before anyone thinks happily about a beautiful little town in Connecticut. One really doesn't have anything to do with the other but we are ..........just people.

Time will heal. This too will pass. Those kids will play football, get an education and make friends and have people cheer for them and continue with their lives and they will tell their grandchildren that they played at Penn State after a terrible time.

Blame the powerful clique that allowed these crimes to continue, not the school itself. I am glad that Penn State Football has been having a very good year.

I am happy for the kids that stayed and are a good representation of what this universities goals are. They should not be penalized for the people who hands were dirty in the scandal that took place. They are moving forward with their lives as they should.

I was strictly talking about football in that sanctions imposed on the school from the scandal would adversely affect the players recruted for the football team going forward. They will have less players to choose from and in a competetive fiootball environment, that will add difficulty to winning future footbal games.

Penn State is doing all the right things in moving on from this scandal as they should and I'm sure they are doing everything in their power to restore their once spotless reputation.

I agree. Seem like the students are being punished more than the actual people involved in the scandal.

The current coaching staff and players who stuck it out are all participating in writing a new Penn State history. Penn State football's best football years are still to come,

I have an apartment around 7 blocks from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. I went to the Big Ten Party before the game. I think there were more Penn State fans than not. My neighbor from Pennsylvania had great club seats and tried to sell 2 (legal in Indiana), but he took a big loss selling way under the value before game. I didn't go, late game better on TV. You could get in the stadium for $15 the day of game and no bad seats there; just great and good.

I loved the Penn State win, and happy for them, and being a Buckeye, I thank Penn State for giving OSU an extra week rest as the other 3 teams in the playoff had to play in their championships. Maybe we threw the game against you (just kidding).

Thank you Penn State... Thank you!
