It seems unfathomable to me that we are only a year away from the tenth anniversary of the fallout from the Jerry Sandusky scandal. I can still remember like it was yesterday when I was hitting up a couple of tailgates before the clash with Nebraska, and the atmosphere was so subdued that it felt like a funeral. It made sense, considering the fact that the Penn State football program everyone knew had suddenly died, especially considering Joe Paterno, the longtime face of the program, had been permanently sidelined after over 60 years of involvement. Inside Beaver Stadium, PSU fans wore blue in support of the victims as they grieved along with the red-clad Nebraska fans who made the trip, unsure of the type of reception they would get (they were warmly welcomed).
