really embarrassed. 
glad to be of help (Univ of Iowa alum here) 
Thank God.
I was born and raised in Pennsylnavia. When I was in High School, during the morning announcements, they reported the Penn State score. As if out of over 50 colleges, Penn State was the only one.
A few years ago, at a party, I criticized Penn State. A former Nittany Lion alumni threatened my life and said that if I continued with my criticism, he would kick my ass (just like their football team does now!).
I also had a boss that went to Penn State. The guy put a lion in the front yard of his office and a Joe Paterno cutout by his desk. Imagine the humiliation I had to go through when I brought customers there.
I’m sick of Penn State.
And the fact that there is a no booing regulation at their games is so typical of these losers. God Forbid, you speak out against Penn State or Joe Pa.
Thank God FINALLY the younger students there are picking up on the greatest fraud in the history of the NCAA.
Penn State fans. It is over. Joe Pa. Retire.
Fuck Penn State, Fuck anyone that went to Penn State, and Fuck Happy Valley.
RING BALONEY ONCE.
RING BALONEY TWICE.
KUTZTOWN, KUTZTOWN, AINT THAT NICE!!!
Could someone explain to me what a Nittany Lion is? As a graduate of UC Santa Cruz, I have little room to make fun of silly mascots, but at least a Banana Slug is a real animal.
Apparently, Mt. Nittany, nearby, is said to look like a lion. That’s all. And no, it doesn’t look like a lion, at least in the pictures I’ve seen.
I live in Northeastern Pennsylvania. And I hate Penn State more than any other team in sports. You know why? Because at home, people worship Penn State. People with absolutely no connection to the school. Alumni are excused. Parents whose kids go there are excused. Everyone else, SHUT UP. Every year, the local media makes PSU out to be national title contenders, which they haven’t really been since 1994. Penn State can’t even beat their cupcakes anymore (Toledo) and the Big 10 powers (and not-so-powers) have their way with them. Whenever they lose, it’s a tragedy. Penn State and Joe Paterno are vastly overrated. The game has passed him by and he should retire.
And here’s what I consider a just dessert: Word is Paul Pasqualoni, our dumbass coach from SU, is high on the list to replace Joe Paterno after he retires. That would RULE. We get rid of Coach P and his bungling and he screws up Penn State even more! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
theuglytruth: Gee, I wonder why anyone would threaten to kick yourass. :rolleyes: Jealousy is a real bitch.
By the way, the no-booing thing is a resolution passed by the Faculty Senate–it’s not a regulation. You might wanna try getting your facts right, just as a change of pace.
Kyla: A Nittany Lion is just your basic mountain lion–the exact same thing as a Pitt Panther, or a Houston Cougar.
ElwoodCuse: I live in the next county over from Penn State, and there is no talk at all of Paul Pasqualoni being the next head coach. Paterno will most likely name his own successor when he retires…and I doubt that’s going to happen in the next couple of years.
Penn State sucks this year…but I would suggest that Penn State Haters not hold their breaths waiting for them to suck two years in a row. That’s about as likely as Syracuse being national champions.
Jealous of WHAT? I’m not jealous- just sick and tired of years of having this school shoved down my throat then all the Penn State whiners crying every time the polls don’t rank their crummy school #1.
Thank God I went to a true school of higher learning-Kutztown University.

Regulation, resolution, 1/2 dozen of one 6 of the other. Whatever you want to call it, it is just so typical of the arrogance of this college to even consider passing a no-booing rersolution. What a pathetic joke.
Hey, Penn State- we could use an extra team in the PSAC! Hahaha! I bet even WE could beat you now! HohohohO!!
GO GOLDEN BEARS!!!
Yes, Kyla a Nittany Lion is just your average mountain lion.
Having lived in State College(OK, so I lived in Philipsburg, but I worked in SC, and that’s where the parties are!) for 3 years until June, I heard my share of the Nittany myth. The fanciful folklore that can be heard around the area is of an Indian princess named Nita-Nee who saved her tribe by leading them to the central PA valley and, upon her death the mountain(Mount Nittany, the largest in the immediate area of the campus)rose up around her burial site. It is just a story, completely fabricated by some author, Shoemaker was his name I think.
There are no mountain lions in that area though, and have not been for quite some time.

The Nittany lion is not a real animal, but at one time someone thought it was. During Penn State’s early days, a biologist decided that the mountain lions living near Penn State must be a different species of mountain lion and thus named them after Mount Nittany, which overlooks Penn State. I’m not sure when it was decided that there is no difference between the mountain lions of central Pennsylvania and mountain lions elsewhere, but that turned out to be moot. The Nittany lion had been declared Penn State’s mascot already, and they were keeping it whether it existed or not. Nowadays, you’re unlikely to find any feline larger than the occasional bobcat in Centre County, Pennsylvania.

Word!
BTW, it’s not fair to compare Syracuse and Penn State. Penn State is easily three or four times our size (number of student-wise). Let’s face it: there’s a very small number of schools that can with the national championship anymore, thanks to the NCAA’s refusal to adopt a playoff. I’m talking out your Nebraskas, Florida States, Miamis, Michigans, etc. Syracuse has never and will never have the recruiting clout to be a national power under the current system. But I don’t hear Syracuse people bitch and moan about why we aren’t. Penn State isn’t top-tier anymore, yet they pretend they are.
Oh and Penn State, why don’t you play us anymore? Can’t fit us in between Toledo and Akron and Louisiana Tech? I mean come on, we can’t even beat Cincinnati, I think PSU would lick their chops over a matchup with us.
But, we’ll kick anyone’s ass in lacrosse.
Hey! Ain’t that where you go if you’re thrown out of Lock Haven?
::ducks and runs::
No. It’s where I went after I rejected a scholarship to Penn State.
uglytruth: Well after I left Penn State I turned down a possible scholarship at…
Nope. Not gonna tell you, actually. 
theuglytruth said:
Uh huh. I think “jealous” works just fine.
Hardly. A regulationwould be an actual policy; a resolutionis just an opinion. Do everyone a favor and don’t try to get into law school with that no-doubt impressive degree from Nutztown.
That much I’ll agree with you on. Now I need a shower.

That may not be entirely accurate. In the mid and late '80s there were quite a few reports of mountain lion sightings in Clearfield County, which is the next county over. I personally know two people who saw them, one of whom was my father. The Game Commission discounted all of these reports, but the sad fact is the the Pennsylvania Game Commission is best described by a term I once heard a County Commissioner use–a bunch of deer herders. Since mountain lions are extinct–it says so right in the manual–they never investigated.
(I haven’t heard of any sightings in the last 10 years, though.)
ElwoodCuse said:
Then maybe they should stop pretending they belong in 1-A and drop down. Then they could play such powerhouse teams as Nutztown.
Penn State is consistently among the best college football teams in the country–not this year, certainly, but consistently. You may not like them, but pretending they’re not what they clearly are is silly.
The reason Penn State doesn’t squeeze Oranges anymore is pure money-grubbing. Penn State wants non-conference teams who will agree to play almost exclusively at Beaver Stadium–not for home-field advantage, but so Penn State makes more money. The Toledos and Akrons of the NCAA will agree to this–they probably make more money going to Penn State than they do with most home games anyway. The Syracuses and Pitts won’t go for this–not that I blame them–and thus get dropped from the schedule.
(Is this kind of scheduling arrogant? You betcha.)

Nah–Nuztown is where you go when you get thrown out of Clarion, and Juniata won’t have you.
Just start wearing Pitt logos around the Penn State people-piss 'em off.
I know who Penn State is jealous of.
IOWA!!! Hahahah!!!

Yawn. I did very well at KUTZtown. I had a 3.4.
Then I found out that was my blood alcohol level.**
I would need a shower too, to wash off all that shame.

Again. That is KUTZtown. Get it right. Nutztown really isn’t that funny anyway. We’ve been called worse by much better.
