Yeah, well we hate you more!
. At some point we'll have to move this over to the college football thread and discuss the ironies of Rich Rod and Graham ending up at Arizona and Arizona State (I know - they didn't coach at WVU and Pitt at the same time - still).

I'll thank you NOT to use my beloved DENVER Broncos and that other team in the same sentence.

And back on a serious note - I think Jerry Sandusky and the abuse could happen anywhere and does. That issue isn't at all about Penn State.
I think the cover up by Paterno and the administrators COULD happen at other places when and if people at those places start believing that their group is special and set apart in such a way that the rules and the consequences of those rules don't apply to them. I don't think any of the posters here believe that- I just think that some (not all) of the "things are different here" views expressed are probably less extreme versions of what Joe Paterno and the Penn State administration (or some of them) believed at some level that caused them to think they could and should cover some things up.
And now I've also used up my quota on the word some.
